At the very beginning of the true love story...
♥ April started having a blog when she was still in junior college and Linus was one of her first few regular readers. They communicated frequently through the blog's comment function, as well as the then-popular tagboard.
♥ As years gone by and Linus still stayed at April's blog, they began to become part of a group of close blogging friends. They started chatting regularly online through MiRC/MSN, joking and teasing each other. As April had her photo on her blog, she started complaining that it wasn't fair that she had no idea how Linus looked like. The first photo that Linus sent over to her was of him making a really, totally, ugly face. -__-" They remained as close friends for many years, but only online. They never initiated any meet-ups, nor did they attend the same blogger outings before.
And the true love story started...
♥ In 2004, April had a very nasty breakup from her 7 years long relationship. Feeling really depressed and completely at a loss, she started a private blog about the failed relationship, and Linus was one of the readers invited to this private blog. He started giving her advises, and stayed up late just to make her sleepy and thus can fall asleep easily. At the same period, Linus started having problems with his then-girlfriend too.
♥ On 27th June 2004, April was invited to her friend's 21st party at East Coast Part (ECP). She was chatting with Linus on MSN, as usual, when she started complaining about ECP being very far from home. She jokingly requested for Linus to come and send her home, and Linus took it for real, and he really did appear! She was sitting around a table with her friends chatting and laughing when a SMS came in, "what are you all talking about? You are laughing so happily." She looked up and saw two guys from a distant staring at them. She walked over, unsure, as after all, all she had was a distorted face of Linus for a reference! It turned out to be Linus (indeed!!!) and his friend, Jonathan, and they had a quick chat before April went back to the party.
♥ Linus hanged around ECP area with his friend waiting for April, and when April was ready to go, he asked if she was in a hurry to get home. They ended up at Changi Village for a drink, and they had a joke exploring the area, looking at the ladies standing at the roadside, *cough* who were actually men. They went to Changi Airport next, and spent the night enjoying the cool breeze, nice music, and the planes that were taking off/landing.
♥ As it was getting late, Linus sent Jonathan home first before sending April home. They ended up chatting in the car until 3am. April was feeling happy and completely at ease with Linus, and even felt a little heart-a-fluttering for him, but she pushed it aside. Linus was talking about being very confused about life, and April happened to be a little thirsty and hence started licking her own lips. Linus stared at her for a moment, and kissed her. Shocked, stunned, but totally enjoying the moment, *blushes*, April returned the kiss.
♥ They arranged to meet up again on 3rd July 2004 for a suntanning session. As Jonathan was around, April got shy and decided to just laze on the benches instead of stripping down to her bikini. *hurhur* The two guys decided to go for a swim instead of suntanning. Linus was worried that she would be bored, so he took out his iPod and passed to her. They met up with another of Linus' friends, Ricky, and they went down to Sim Lim Square together to get some IT stuffs. While on the escalator, Linus put his arm around April and held her tight. April felt so happy by the action, yet embarrassed as his friends were around. He let go of her when they reached ground floor and April felt a little disappointed, but he picked up her hand again when they were waiting for the taxi, and he asked, "Can I hold your hand forever?"
♥ And thus April and Linus officially got together on 3rd of July, which made the 3rd of every month very special as it became their month-iversary. And the fairy tale just gets sweeter each and every day.
Romantic Compatibility - Aries & Aries
When two Aries come together in a love affair, there's bound to be fireworks. These two are always competing, which can make for quite a challenging love match. An Aries-Aries relationship is like looking into a mirror: Aries understands their partner's need for independence because they're the same way. At times, however, they can be possessive and turn into two Rams butting heads. They have to learn not to compete with one another so much. If they can do so, their partnership can be extremely powerful.
An Aries-Aries love match is a meeting of two strong spirits; generally, the relationship is positive and enthusiastic. They love to try new things -- often extreme sports or some other intense activity. Solving the inevitable problems of a close relationship can be tough due to the two egos constantly clashing. They must learn to work together. Since both partners like things to go their way, they must make a conscious effort not to be selfish. Aries also has a natural generosity, however, so two Aries together can certainly learn to take turns indulging each other. Aries is very open with their feelings; totally straightforward, two Aries will never have problems with deceit or hypocrisy. Both partners will have trouble with temper outbursts that result from hasty judgments. Aries just wants to get on with it, already!
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars. Mars was the God of War, and, like two soldiers in a battle, two Aries can either fight together or against each other -- but they will fight. Mars also represents passion, and Aries tends to have an active and exciting time with any lover. This energy is only heightened with another Aries. And, though arguments are inevitable for this pair, the best is yet to come -- first of all, Aries is too busy to hold a grudge for long, and besides, making up is so much fun!
Aries is a Fire Sign. It's rare for one partner to get tired while the other still wants to continue; two Aries will play hard together and tire at the same time. Again, two Aries maintain a constant battle over who will be the leader. Neither partner likes to submit, so compromise is essential. If these two can keep their egos in check, the relationship will be smooth.
Aries is a Cardinal Sign. In an Aries-Aries combination, both partners are skilled at initiation. When they see what they want, they pursue it without a moment's thought. They never waste time feeling each other out before they jump into a relationship.
What's the best aspect of the Aries-Aries relationship? That exciting spontaneity that always keeps things new and that's so hard to find with other Signs. Two Aries will never be bored! Their mutual energy and ability to make up after disagreements makes theirs a passionate and compatible relationship.

Chinese Astrology - The Monkey and the Pig
The Monkey and the Pig can have a lot of fun together. Both these Signs are generally happy, positive types and both are sensualists, albeit the Monkey in a bit more of a decadent way than the Pig. The Pig loves fine foods, luscious surroundings, lovemaking, even simple pleasures like sleeping in a comfortable bed and taking a long bubble bath. The Monkey is more decadent than this in that its interests are less home-based and more centered in party atmospheres and big, noisy crowds in which anything can happen. To the Pig, family and close friends are the most important things in life; to the Monkey, the pursuit of pleasure is the important thing.
As lovers, then, the Monkey might spend some time trying to convince the Pig to go out rather than staying in; after all, the Monkey is definitely a sexual being but doesn't want to spend hours on end in the bedroom. After a while, though, the Monkey will tire of trying to motivate the Pig and will go out on its own. The Pig will have to be ready to compromise, since the Monkey isn't too flexible. The good thing is, when in love, the Pig is a very generous, acquiescent Sign who wants nothing more than to please its mate; the bad thing is, this trait sometimes leads to the Pig allowing itself to be taken advantage of. The Monkey would never knowingly mistreat the Pig but might not be very careful either.
As business partners, these two can create a business that is both solid and prosperous if they can be sure to utilize both Signs' strengths. The Monkey loves to be in control and will naturally take over as front person, the one to speak up in meetings with new clients and wow everyone with its know-how and fearlessness. The Pig is a hard worker who takes direction well, but will have to work to keep the Monkey from taking unwise risks.
The Monkey and the Pig share a compatibility of seven, on a scale of one to ten.
