I'm 20 this year and I finally got my first girlfriend few months back, after a year of knowing each other. She lives in London, i lives in Shah Alam. She went back to London a month ago (when her summer holiday in Malaysia ended), and since then everything in my life is falling apart.

For a first-timer boyfriend, I don't think I'm handling stuff well. I've been staying up late (Malaysia is 7 hours ahead of London now) and missed class because overslept the next day, not finishing homeworks, and argued with parents for matters like not eating with family. Last month's phone bill, mine alone, was about RM550.

According to a friend of mine, I'm screwed. Maybe I am.

But I love her.

Sigh.

p/s: I just feel like writing this down here, so at least someone would read it (except her). She's happy now, and I want her to stay that way.

I have experience regarding this LDR. I registered my IDi s just to post in this forum ... haha ..

I knew a girl in mIRC, when I was 16, long2 time ago. I really 'terpikat' with her style of chatting, etc. I could felt something that I never felt before. After a few months chatting, I proposed her via mIRC but she rejected me due to distance. She also refused to give me her contact no. For me, ahh, does not matter since this is just e-love ..

we lost contact each other for a few period. She couldnt online because moved out to new house and had no internet connect and I dont have her contact no to reach her. After a couple of month, I saw her nickname again in mIRC channel. I msg her and yeah, she was the one. .

starting from that day, we became closer and closer and I gave her my contact no. After a few days, we kept sms each other and one day, i tot the time was right and I proposed her and she accepted me. . I realize this is  just e-love and nothing to be granted yet. We were able to sms,call every day as other couple but we unmanaged to see each other coz I live in Terengganu and she was in Selangor.

After my SPM, I decided to go KL (house of my relative) just to meet her. We arranged our 1st date at KLCC. After our 1st date, 2nd, 3rd and so on were coming up.

The most hard for me when I back to Terengganu. We kept missed each other. Everyday we sms and gayut till late nite. After finish my prepaid credit, I was using my house phone no. One month my bill was RM1.3k and her bill was RM3k++ for 2 months. haha.

The things turn easier when I entered MMU but she still in school (SPM). FYI, she is 1 year younger than me. Every month, I went to Selangor to meet her. . After she finished her SPM, she entered MMU. So, everyday we can meet each other and now im enjoying my life with her besides.

And just want to let u know guys, this coming December is our 5th anniversary.
