over the past weeks, some of my friends excitedly asked if i would be attending the pink dot. well, i could understand their excitement. i was as excited as them. it was after all a signature event for us singaporean gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transexuals (glbts). and this year's theme of family was something that i was rather happy about.
but i decided i would not attend the event. no, it was not a case of me not being supportive. rather, i did not attend the event as i was aware that james and jack (who was this year's pink dot spokesperson), and for that matter, dominic were involved in the event organisation. i thought it would be rather awkward on both my part as well as for james when and if we were to meet. also (and probably the main reason), i really did not want to see dominic (james’ close friend). i guessed i still have not got over how he overstepped the boundaries as a friend and interfered in my relationship with james as well as how he chided me and passed all the negative comments about me when i broke off with james. so... anyway, i am glad the event turned out very well! kudos to the organisers and the glbt community in singapore!

I'm amazed at how selective your memory is, Jeff, and how you insist on using me as a scapegoat for your breakup with James, when all I ever did was counsel the two of you to communicate more and work things out. If that constitutes an 'overstepping of boundaries', then I'm sorry I ever did that.
hi dom, thanks for your remarks. i respect them but will not comment on them for i think these are your perspective. i have always maintained that i am writing a blog to capture my thoughts. it reflects my perspective of things, whether you agree or not. regards.
