Ahh there's your CJ kant01! I've been looking for it. Anyway I think it's about time I posted something on this amazing journal of yours. Everything looks great as usual. So pretty, well-organised and all. Love the storyline as well as the edits done to make the pics look more attractive. Keep up the good job! Oh yeah and I havent seen you around lately. Kinda miss chatting with you. lol hope to see you soon.

Hey guys. Umm...something bad happened to me today so I was hoping i can find some advice here since simtropolis is such a nice place to hang out. Well here it goes: I've gotten to know this guy from the US who was also gay and 16 as well. He was actually the first gay friend I've ever had in my entire life. Anyway, he was really a great guy. Nice, sweet, polite, smart, intelligent and handsome as well. Overtime, our friendship grew closer and closer and soon we became best friends within a month of knowing each other. We would just talk for like hours on end and I never got bored of talking to him on MSN. There was really so many interests that we had in common! It's really uncanny but I really like him a lot! I would practically get up early in the morning just to talk to him! I got to know a lot about him and then I had a huge crush on him but i didn't dare to tell him. Then on Monday, he said he liked me a lot and asked me to his BF. I couldn't believe it when he told me that. It was a dream come true for me. I've always wanted a boyfriend who was smart, handsome and had a great personality so I was overjoyed! The only problem is that we're still 16 and we were thousands of miles apart from each other. Still, we wanted to be with each other so we then decided to have a long distance relationship. I was so happy for the past few days. I didn't feel sad at all which was usual for me. He always put a smile on my face and I really enjoy spending time with him. He was just perfect and the my first love. I loved him a lot and couldn't stop thinking about him. We even planned everything out! Once I finish secondary school and serve 2 years of compulary military training, I would move to some major US city (Boston, NYC, Heartford) and live with him. From there, I might go study in a local university. Lol we even went around sites and looked at houses and even plan to adopt children! But the thing is, all of these stuffs is 6 YEARS AWAY from reality! It looked so daunting and we hoped our relationship will last till we finally get to meet at last. I was keeping my hopes up a lot by then. Then today, I got up early in the morning and talked him. Then he said, Reuben, I need to talk you something and I knew something bad was going to happen. And the thing I feared the most happened. Just 5 days into the relationship, my BF told me that he does not know if our relation will work out because I was so far away from him and we could not be in physical contact with him. He said that its not that he does not like me or anything, its the distance that was disturbing him. The only we kept in contact was through MSN. I knew the relationship was too good to be true in the first and I knew there was catch and it turned out to be the distance. He then told me that maybe we should just remain as friends for now and maybe we'll be able to get back together once we get older. I was devastated when he told me that. I was very emotionally attacted to him and I really really loved him. He was such a awesome and cool guy. I was really in love with him (surprisingly, I didnt have any sexual fantasies about him). He asked me if I was upset and of course I said I was not. I didn't want to upset him. I also said that I was feeling the pinch too but as long as I can get to talk to him, I'm happy and satisfied and can wait 6 years for him. I was so sad when we said that we should just remain as best friends for now. I then cried to myself a lot and well, I'm still feeling very sad and depressed now. The love of my life is now gone. I just love him much and I couldn't bear to break up with him. So now, I'm asking what should I do guys? I really want to get back to him and I'm thinking of trying to mend the relationship but I can't if he does not want to. I just feel so sad now. I don't want him to think that I'm desperate or anything. I just want to know if there is still a chance we can get back together. I feel so helpless and idiotic now. I just want to be with him. 6 years is so far away and I dont even know if I can even sustain a close frienship till then. I mean the chance of me and hom getting back together 6 years down the road looks really unrealistic but I know there's a chance. So what should I do guys? I'm really at my wits ends now. I don't what to do and I really want to talk to the guy I like but imagine the awkwardness and all that. I can't help but feel giulty for everything. I couldnt stop thinking of him in school and I didnt talk much today. So yeah I would really appreciate it if I could get some advice. Thanks.

Well I've been lurking around this thread for quite some time now and I think I might as well tell you guys that I'm gay too. I just recently came out to 2 very close friends of mine and I was so relieved to find out that they are ok with at they find it quite cool to have a gay friend lol.I hope one day I'll be able to find cute and nice boyfriend to be with lol. It'll be so much fun! But I'm really afraid of coming out to my parents. They're quite narrow minded on this kind of stuff and my relatives are very religious catholic. Even worse, gay sex is illegal here! The law was a hungover from British colonial times and even till now, the law has not been repealed...yet. We're still living in the Victorian era! Sometimes I wish that Singapore would be more liberal with it's laws. The government claims that you are free to be gay but it's just that you cant have sex. Not good enough for me I say. If the don't repeal by the time I grow up, I might even immigrate. I really think that the odds are really stacked up against me. Living in a conservative country with a downright stupid law and having a family who is very religious and conservative. I'm still wondering if I should tell my parents or now when I grow up. I hope they will not disown me or break off contact with me. It will be horrible if they did.

Sydney for sure! The city of coolness! It is much more bigger then Melbourne and I really like it's skyline. All the attractions are there, Hrabour Bridge, Opera House, Bondi Beach. Althought it's not as classy as Melbourne, it is still the face of Australia and it's financial capital too! https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Sunset%20Over%20Sydney.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Sunset%20Over%20Sydney%202.jpg align=baseline>

I really like the name London. It sounds so important and cool! I also like Bangkok (The City Of Angels). Its' full is the longest name in the world! Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit. Which means: The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of god Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn. But most of all I like the name of Singapore in the malay language. Singapura which literally means The Lion City and lions are known to be very proud. Singa for lion and pura for city. Very nice indeed!

Singapore's expressway system is quite well-planned I must say. 8 expressways linking the whole country with another new expressway known as the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) more coming up. Because the road system is so well-planned, jams are quite uncommon but the during the rush hour, the volume of traffic is very high and all it takes is just one car to breakdown and a jam will be formed.

Singapore has its own light rail system known as the Light Rapid Transit (LRT). There are 3 lines and all of them are linked with the subway system. All 3 lines are located in public housing estates so its an alternative to taking the bus to the subway station or getting around the estate. http://www.smrt.com.sg/slrt/images/new_systemmap.gif width=495> width=585> width=550> http://img44.exs.cx/img44/6149/singa-bukit-1.jpg> http://img65.exs.cx/img65/858/81828331HQscyE_ph.jpg> http://img46.exs.cx/img46/4535/10223.jpg> http://img79.exs.cx/img79/5437/61036900RAIMia_ph.jpg> http://img66.exs.cx/img66/571/61037592dwarMs_ph.jpg>

Personally I like the Singapore skyline! I might be bias here.lol But I also think that HK is definitely one of the best skylines in the world. Singapore has really bold plans to create an entire new downtown at marina bay just adjacent to the existing CBD. There would be much more office space, condominums and shops, hotels, a new casino and shopping centres! Its really exciting! Finally singapore can compete with HK! >

OMG! Your Central Downtown is just amazing! I wished I can do a downtown that looked so impressive! I just love it! The city looks so fantastic in the night and might I say that you regin is just MASSIVE! I also love your neighbourhood! They look so pristine and nice! The photoshop editing also makes the pics much more apprealing. Wow you've really outdone yourself ChicAgo333! Keep up the good work! I'm sorry for not posting in your CJ and for taking such a long time to post in your journal. I raelly have missed alot of updates! Looking forward to more.

Wow sloppet, you've really outdone yourself! Your CJ looks so cool and nice! I wished my CJ could have such a nice and beautiful contryside. I also like the effects that ypu make on the pics they look really err...serene. Lol, keep up the good work!

Hey nice start to your CJ! Its look like its going well. I like the cooured palms, they're so colourful! Hope to see more updates.

Wow this CJ is so cool! Its so nice and very Englis indeed! I love it! The pics are so clear! It looks so realistic!!!

I love KL! Its so lively and vibrant especially at night! I really love it! Everything there is cheap and the food is great! I also noticed that the city is just keeping on building, buillding and building more and more skyscrapers. The only thing I don't like is the traffic gridlock, its terrible! The city centre is very nice. Very green too I must say. The last time, I visited the city in June, I went to the Menera Kuala Lumpur and the view from there was just spectacular. I can even see the Genting Highlands! The view was much then from the Twin Towers. Hope to see more pictures soon.
