The Lord your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.

birthday boy
Tomorrow is my entry into quarter life, but more importantly, today we celebrated! And thats cause she has to work tomorrow and i've got a paper at night.
Some days are just more spectacular than others because i get to spend time with her. Today was a birthday celebration exactly the way i liked it - small and homely, with the people i love the most and lots of crazy laugher.
She knocked on the door, holding a nice "cake" (box of durians) with a nice little candle on the top! And she was dressed in nice corporate wear with new hair! She looked nicely jap. Yummy. And she did nice grocery shopping for me, wrote me a nice card and she cooked for me. =)
Nothing beats spending time with you.
"Wake up *%&@!"

day 146
Today is the official launch of the greenricetea blog! *applause*
In celebration, we have started scouting for honeymoon places (Instant Thailand 2008). We were looking at Railay Village.
-
She was sick, and I was being the nice boyfriend so I stayed over at her place. And she made me breakfast in the morning! Egg, hot chocolate, sandwich with cheese and mushroom, who can ask for more?
Then she sent me to the train station and i went to work. She stayed home, like a nice house wife and made butternut squash. We having nice butternut squash for dinner. And she looks pretty and gorgeous.
-
I shall soon start the G.U.M. (Get Us Married) fund. We seek sponsorship for the wedding ceremony, dinner and honeymoon. =)

bold moves
I had one agenda.
GET THE GIRL.
After church, we went for lunch with Sharon and JP in Yuki's. Then we headed to the park nearby, waiting for her parents to head home. Looking back now, everything seemed to surreal. We sat on the bench and talked about it. What if they said yes, or no, or maybe, or wait? We held hands and prayed like never before.
Now, if you're wondering why. Thats because i have a policy of asking parents before dating their daughters, and also i was supposed to be in a singlehood covenant, which is nullified because it wasn't from God and it was sort of penance for sins. And we all know that only God can start a covenant and our sins are on the cross. SO.
We headed back to her place and sat on the sofa with her parents. From left to right: Uncle David, Aunty Ruth, Sara, Dennis. And i proposed to date their daughter and assured them that i have good intentions and will treat her well. Aunty Ruth was vouching for me. Then Uncle David asked about my covenant, and that i should keep it still even if it wasn't started from the right source or for the right reasons. Thankfully, Aunty Ruth came up strong to show that there is indeed no covenant and that we have her approval.
Uncle David was so fatherly, he said, "I have no problems with that but are you serious about her? I will hold you accountable if anything happens to her because of you." Indeed, fair warning from a loving father. So i agreed to the conditions and he shed a tear or two (to put it nicely) because his girl was growing up. We prayed together and they gave us their blessings. And we very poorly negotiated Cinderella's timing - 11pm.
It was 3:03pm. And I suddenly had a girlfriend, she suddenly had a boyfriend. We suddenly had each other.
We went to another park and rolled in the grass and talked and prayed.
Most importantly, God's hand was evident in every way - in bringing us to meet, in the perfect timing, in creating opportunities to get to know each other, in making a way for us even though we thought it would be a long wait, in bringing favour with her parents, and seeing it to the end of the very start.
God is good!

She could always tell when my brain was in the gutter.
In this case, she figures it out in 14 seconds.
