PROPOSAL

He proposed on February the second, 2009. We had an unforgettable caesar salad at Ecucina, which I am still craving dispite eating caesars 3 times since. 12 roses at King's park, one for each reason he loved me and 3 jars, past, present and future. Then in traditional style, on his knee, he asked me to marry him. and i said yes.

In Love with my best friend

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

A Change

Working life is very different for us, but it also marks the beginning of the very beginning (the saving money bit). I think it was quite a large step for me.. getting used to working, getting used to living in the in betweens.. I find that I'm turning in our parents already, and Dennis is still the same, ever firm, calm, loving. But I thank God and trust Him that He has brought all these things our way, and that we learn and are growing better for it. We're changing as a couple. We're getting used to each other's ways, learning to finish each other's sentences, and still suffering the shyness that people who haven't lived together for 20 years suffer. We will get there- I prefer this novelty of us still being "new". I Love you, you know. I just want you to know.

Living and alive

So many times I'd like to think that we're mature and we know what love is and we've grown. But the truth is that we're still so young and in love. Its young love.

Like a teenager pretending to know it all. We pretend to have known each other for years. But what is 1 year or 2 years?
We're looking at 50 or 60 years of married life. We're like babies, growing at exponential rates. Everyday is amazing to me, everyday a new discovery about us, and everyday more love for you.

To young love.

I thank God that He keeps us together.

Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th Century boy"

Spider Faith

Life has been getting harder these days due to the conflict in the house that has sucked Dennis into the centre of it all. Poor man, he does so well dealing with it but I don't feel normal living in such an abnormal situation.

But God had a plan to teach me about this, and to do this, He needed:
(a) One Large Ugly Orange Spider
(b) A Hero (the one you hold out for till the end of the night)
(c) A Car
(d) DC slippers

I was leaving Dennis' after a night of good fun with Daryl+Eunice, May+Alvin, Loong+Rebekah, Uncle+Auntie. We had a great time making Daryl practice his slow dance! Dennis walked me to the car and as we were saying goodbye, I spied with my little eye the most hairy disgusting spider on my car window! It crawled all over my car and I was so freaked out about driving home in the car in case it tried to attack me while I was doing 100Kph on the freeway! I didn't want to die just because some spider tried to best me. May and Alvin heard my squeals and in the end, we drove my car into the censor-light's path and spent 10 minutes looking for the spider. Alvin saw it go into the panel next to my car wheel. The 3 girls tried kicking the wheel and in the end, I took Dennis home with me because if the spider appeared, at least he would viciously kill it with Ethics in Business. Or, the spider would eat the book. But that was not likely. I tried to weigh to moral value of equally endangering my man, but the assurance that there was a gap between the panel it entered and the interior of my car told me that my conscience should be thoroughly ignored.

Daryl prayed over the car with anointing oil and I declared that the spider would be removed while the car was stationary and that I would see victory in my enemy's massacre. The ride home was stiff, and when Dennis reached to close the boot of my car when we got home, he felt something FURRY on his hand! He FLICKED, and it landed on the floor, whereby my hero proceeded to viciously squelch the spider with his slipper. Twice. Juicily.

So in the end, using all the aforesaid ingredients for faith lesson 23474, I learnt that even though the journey may be scary, God works all things out for the good of those who love him. And he makes good heros. I like.

Over the weekend, we bought some nice stuff. It makes me happy. I think its the best purchase that we've made in a very long time. Spending on her feels ssssoooooo good. And its a first.

But not the last. I got more ideas for the future too. =)

Things have been really crazy lately and I haven't had much time to spend with her. She has been patient and helpful. She helped me to pack my room and all my stuff into boxes. She remembers exactly where everything was placed. She stays up till 3+am with me. She helped me to refine my reflections paper. She corrects all the english errors. She drives me around. She is conscious of whether I'm tired or sleepy or both. She prepares breakfast. She gives me kisses and PDAs with me.

Sometimes she says that she hasn't done much and she hasn't done many things for me. Liar.

She has been simply the bestest thing in the world.
