I wasn&#8217;t too sure of how I wanted to create this site, but eventually decided to create it as blog. Wanted to get the domain name as www.elmtree.com, but the site had been bought up already. I ended up settling for second best (which I hope is still as great as ever).<\/p>\n<p>Just thinking about the Elm Tree and Lime Tree incident puts a smile on my face. It happened on 16 March 2006. It was a Thursday afternoon and I was waiting for my Parallel Programming lecture to begin and you sent this message to me.<\/p>\n<p><em>Limetree intelligent hardworking accept wat life dishes out but not b 4 trying 2 change bad circum into gd ones. hates fighting n stress. enjoys getaway vacations. may appear tough but is soft n relenting. always willing to make sacrifices 4 family n frds. has many talents but not enough time 2 use them. great leadership qualities. Jealous at times but xtremely loyal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When I got the sms, I was thinking &#8230; what was she telling me? Is this suppose to describe me? How come it describe me so well? Later that day after meeting for dinner and studying in school for a bit, I saw the entire email which was sent by Alice. Thereafter, there was the birth of Elm Tree and Lime Tree on MSN. (&#8220;,)<\/p>\n<p>With that thought in mind, I went about creating something here in virtual space for you. Be it a simple blog for yourself, or for me to you, or for anything else, I hope you would enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>I have added numerous entries of how I had the great opportunity to spend time with you here in Singapore. These are times that I cherish and will remember. Had to do some back dating to get most of the entries up. Anyhow, recalling the incidence was very heartwarming for me. In terms of friendship, I think I went a little further than I had ever imagined that I could\/would\/should(?). I didn&#8217;t realize that I could really fall for someone. (&#8220;,) BUT, that is a good thing! It had really been an experience for me. As I like to say to others, now I say to myself: You&#8217;ll (I&#8217;ll) be surprise what you (I) can live through.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter what happens in the future, I&#8217;m happy for it all. For all that matters and no matter what happen, I really hope we remain as good friends.<br \/>\nAnyway, all the best for your future (now that you can&#8217;t see where you are going yet)!<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Edwin Ting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(guess it should be elm3.org now, after the little crash at the old site) This space was created as a little surprise for you!
