Growing pains from a relationship point of view..

Have you ever felt this way before?

Have you ever gone through periods of ups and downs, sweet and sour memories, the highs and lows..

Come the 24th.. it will be 2 months since she spelled out Y-E-S on my back..

It seems like eons ago that we have known each other and got together.. but it's been only 2 months really..

It seems like we know each other for a much longer time..

It seems like we were made for each other..

It seems like we were held back from meeting each other til now..

No matter how much we wish that we met earlier.. it wouldn't have click til now..

I'm glad that it's now rather than never..

It's funny how we were both in Melbourne back in Spring '04.. around the Melb Cup period.. we were both strangers to each other.. and now.. Melbourne Cup 06..

we are lovers.. we are companions.. we are partners.. we are yin n yang.. we complement each other.. one a thinker, the other a feeler.. we might drive each other up the wall at times.. but hey.. that makes life all the more worth living for.. being in a relationship which is constant and stale is no good.. but then.. it's not good to have too many ups and downs in a short span of time..

this is only the beginning.. but yet.. we have stored plenty of happy memories already..

day minus 1.. at tasha's bday.. starring as your mysterious dinner date.. meeting some of ur closer friends.. a preview of who you hang out with? i was making myself well at home..

week 1.. poker night.. more meeting of your friends.. starring now as your boyfriend.. great time spent with you.. partnering with you and winning the round.. we could be a good match indeed!!

week 2.. quiz night.. fund raising for your abseiling.. was by your side that night.. helping you with the barbie.. selling drinks at the bar.. just being there with you.. tiring after a long day at work.. but it was all worth it.. seeing you in action.. observing you.. being there with you doing things that you obviously love to do..

being introduced to your side of the family.. having dinners.. playing ping pong with ur bro in law.. sister.. you.. chillin at your place so much til my bro felt neglected.. =P

week 3.. popiah "weeding" party at ur place.. more food, ping pong with ur friends..
also attended my first wedding with you.. lovely ceremony @ the quarry.. wonderful dinner @ AQWA.. happy memories.. "dancing" on the dance floor.. =) pictures of us taken finally..

week 4.. meet the parents time.. interrogation sessions.. think we did pretty well.. considering before they arrived.. you were so anxious, etc.. in the end.. it was for naught.. fingers crossed things will be remain ok..

week 5.. abseiling training @ gooseberry hill.. picnic.. chill out session.. it was all good fun.. too bad abt the darlington winery.. u're blacklisted.. =P

there's just so many things to talk about.. more dinners that we attended.. your friends, my friends.. activities that we try to be involved in.. to ensure that we do not isolate ourselves or others esp. now that we are in a relationship..

things we do.. to involve our families as well.. Swan Valley trip.. dinners together..

baddy/dinner every weekend..

attending church and cell.. thank you, Sayang.. for being open minded.. for wanting to know more.. for taking the courage to say YES! I want to know more..
for not striking it.. for giving it a chance.. to take that step of faith..
my prayer is that God will touch you.. touch your heart.. that you know that all that is required.. is a lil bit of faith to start your journey with Him..

of course.. thank you also for your attempts in mastering 24 dishes in 24 months.. i have thoroughly enjoyed cooking and washing up with you.. makes dinner more enjoyable..

all our pillow talks, listening to the lyrics of songs on the laptop and star gazing.. will be firmly entrenched into my memory bank..

remember 16 x 6 is only a number.. time passes by so very quickly.. before you know it.. someone will have to be on bended knees.. =P

I love you much much, Hsien Sayang..
