The moment that you came into my life, I knew that you were the one for me. - Reciting, was this what you said to me on 28.12.2014 ?
There wasn't any love at first sight, when you thought I was one of the most lala girl in Marketing and I thought you were just another technical nerd that sits in front of the pc and work all day long.
20 years ago ...
We thought that we first met each other at our previous work place, KDU but just to find out that we actually sat in the same 'aunty van' to primary school about 20 years ago. He was that chubby little boy who's always late or skip school making us wait in the van for a while before he comes out. And I'm that little girl with a jumbo sized backpack who always fell down and ended up with two bruised knee caps.
Coming back to about 3 years plus ago ...
Took at least months for me to realised that you actually exist. That's how we actually started our conversation randomly over loaning of projector which we ended up talking for nearly 30 minutes. Then came this guy with a chimp photo that added me on Facebook. I remembered talking over the cubicle asking my colleagues Josie & Spermmy "who's this chimp guy adding me and do I even know him?". They tried to describe him to me, but I just couldn't remember besides knowing that he's someone behind the extension of 6770. So I added him and left him there for months before we really did speak to each other again.
There were more encounters and we slowly got to know each other better. Got to find out that he's not that nerdy after all, but more of a party kaki and car enthusiast. But I know nothing about car, besides bringing me from Point A to Point B. I was never a party kaki as well, having to only been to clubbing like once a year kind of thing.
There's just something that draws us together, things that we share in life and goals that we have. Knowing that both of us actually carries the same profile over a personality test whose very strong in determination and doesn't give up easily in things. Then we slowly discovered more things we share in common about making DIY stuffs and having the sense of achievement. And he realised that I'm not in any way close to materialistic (hey! do I look like one?) but a crazy girl that does random things at times that makes him laugh if I did left my brain somewhere, somehow.
We started on 31.07.2012 ...
This is not the exact date, but we decided to pick this date because some events took place on that date. We weren't sure what are we up to at that moment, but you threw away all the uncertainties, and took a leap of faith to be with me. You told me that there's nothing much that you could give me as you're working in a startup and building a dream. I told you that there's nothing much that I asked from you besides being with you.
Although with much limited resources, we work things around and enjoyed doing many things together. Many times in life, it's just about how you see things and work things out along the way. I joined contests and won us a trip to Lombok and with many other road trips that we enjoyed around locally.
We celebrate 1,2 Years of Anniversary together...
Time flies and we celebrated our 1, 2 and going to 3 years anniversary together and hope for many many years ahead. We have always been a loyal customer of Sekeping all the while, spending both our anniversaries over at their places.
We bought a place together...
Earlier of the year, we have decided that we should get a place together knowing that the house prices are rising like mad in our country and soon we won't be able to afford. Then we slowly started to build our small little dream hut with many of those DIY stuffs. Apparently, he's not only good with programming but he also have great talents, logic, skills and of course hard work in making all the sofas, dining table, study table and bed for our place. And me as the assistant who doesn't even know how to hit a nail, now have learned many things.
You have taught me many things in life ...
You have taught me how to be kind to others with actions and be considerate, Not that I wasn't such a kind and compassionate person, but being in the current society, many would choose to ignore or even lend a helping hand to others or just even a simple smile or greetings to strangers. Now I've learned that with simple gestures without hoping for returns, they just made my day a little better. Simple gestures like holding the lift and doors for others and putting a smile, you'll see the world with a whole lots of difference. You felt better for what you've done for others, but not always living in grudge thinking that what you deserve and how others should be treating you right.
He's always late on a date with me or others. Because he often stop by to help car or motorcyclist who are stranded on the road which most of the people would just ignore and say "You ki siao ah? How you know what's their intention behind? Nowadays we can trust no one. Let's go...". Our society is slowly dying with all these mentalities around. Remember the small girl in China who was crushed and left on the street for over 5 minutes before anyone came to save her and created such an impact?
Treat others as you want to be treated -
There were many first time ...
I have never been to such music festival in my life, and don't even know what's this all about (yea, I was so innocent). He brought me there, which is the first also the last one here in our country. So it was nothing bad after all, besides just music and dancing which I totally suck at because I have no or zero sense of coordination (well, I was taught that such things are not good for me, wth). There was also the first time, driving up to Genting with only 30 minutes using roads that there's only us and tree and monkeys perhaps? Which I thought I was sitting on a roller coaster (shhh, don't tell these to my parents! I'm still in one piece). First time driving in a foreign country for hours across streets with cow and chickens just for a beautiful mountain view. First time watching series of Sherlock Holmes and Darren Brown that I never thought that I would be interested in such things. First time driving back and forth from Kuantan to Kemaman just because I'm hungry for supper and everything was closed. And many many others..
Until this date 28.12.2014 when you ask of my hands to be yours.
Thank you for your unconditional love
Thank you for always being there for me
Thank you for every small little thoughts
Thank you for always being patient
Thank you for always being caring
Thank you for always making me my favorite dessert
Thank you for making my life complete
Don't ask me how much my ring cost. Because since the beginning I've shared with the other half that the engagement ring is just a symbol of being committed and moving the relationship to the next phase. We were never a follower or believer of diamond or so. I'd rather the money to be well spent somewhere else rather than on materialistic things.
The love is not measured by the carat,
But sincerity that comes from the heart,
There ain't no happily ever after,
But to work together to grow old together.
Love,
Your fiance.
