"It's okay please don't apologize or feel bad. We can call another time, but thanks for thinking about calling me. We haven't done that in a long while."
"Can I call you for awhile now? Yes we haven't, but I haven't seen you in a weekend and I'm about to not contact you for 3 days. Plus Brunei is next week... and I want to hear your voice."

Bangkok was lovely and I have no regrets of going, even though it took away a weekend of ours. Most around me know that I always block out my weekends just so I can spend it with Mav when he books out, but I really wanted to go to Bangkok on a weekend because there'd be more weekend markets + tickets were cheaper. To make things "worse", we found out before I left that Mav just so happens to have a 4-day weekend (meaning Thursday-Sunday book out).... which happened to be the 4 days I booked my BKK trip.
I too want to be able to meet Mav right after I come back to Singapore, or have him pick me up from the airport like many couples I know. And while I wouldn't change a thing about our relationship (including Mav being in the army)... Some days like these just suck for the both of us.
When Mav just enlisted, we used to call each other every weekday night but we had to stop after 2 months because our phone bills were bursting hahahaha. We do have Skype calls whenever I'm overseas, but it's been long since we've had an actual telephone call. The above conversation took place at 11.45pm, which is really late in the army (because they have early waking times) so we only talked for 2 minutes before hanging up. We didn't talk much and only had the time to say our (really long) goodnight's... but just hearing his voice really hit me. Mav's voice was softer than usual, and he sounded really tired. And really I think the hardest part of being an "army gf" is seeing your boyfriend being sad in the army, but not being able to do anything about it.
The dreaded 3-weeks Brunei trip (with vvvvv minimal OR no contact at all) is upcoming and we're really, really, really not looking forward to it.
