We were strangers. We were fixing our individual broken heart... But fate brought us together. (Or was it not?)

I was going thru a rough patch during that period of time. Nothing and nobody seems to be of an interest to me. All I want was to be a happier person with someone who loves me truly.

It was just another boring day when I decided to log on to Friendster and one message was found in my inbox. There wasn't much attraction when I saw his message. Thinking to myself, I thought he is just another guy who just wants to have more friends in his list. Nevertheless, we exchanged our email and chatted via msn.

I was cold towards him because I felt dreadful to bring up topics for a conversation with a stranger who I don’t even know his real name! I appreciate his effort to strike a conversation with me.

[10:01:35 PM] denjo: harlow... haha... wat an interesting nick...

[10:02:48 PM] anne with the rotten butt: hey! haha!

Our conversation started on February 09, 2004... The first time we tried to know each other better. And so the conversation carries on...

He brought up the idea of having a singing session and I thought it sounds good since the both of us loves to sing. As days goes by, this idea slip off my mind as I thought he was just passing a remark.

One day, he asked if I am free to have that ktv session that he suggested a few days ago. I told him I thought he was joking! But of course, I would love to meet up with that person I have been chatting with day and night behind the LCD screen.

We fixed to meet up on the 20th of February @ Kbox.

[23:28:08] Anne and her rotten butt: do i have ur num?

[23:28:25] denjo: no

And guess what? HE DON'T EVEN HAVE MY NUMBER when we are about to meet a few days later! This is the 1st time I asked for a guy's number. But it’s worth it.

1st date on the 20th of February, 2004 @ Kbox

The big day came before I was prepared. Actually I wasn’t feeling much of anxiety. Heh heh. I thought to myself, wasn't I just meeting up with another online friend of mine?

I was sitting at the bus stop outside Paradiz Center. He was late. But I am patient. :P

Came walking towards me was a guy in black with neatly "gel-ed" hair. He looks good, I thought to myself. But he wasn’t as friendly as I thought. Hee... Maybe he was too nervous. Or maybe he was disappointed after knowing how I really look like?

I enjoyed his company. I always love to know more friends who can sing. I am impressed by him.

I treated him for the 1st time after the ktv session. I bought him a bowl of aloe vera dessert to smooth his throat after much singing. Hee hee. And so we went different ways after that.

During the night, we chatted over msn again. The feeling is different. He is no longer a stranger to me. Thou nothing special but I am truly happy.

Few days later while we were chatting, he told me he got a surprise for me. And ta-da! He got my Java program project up and running in just 2 days! I can’t believe that he really help me out when I told him I might not be able to do my project at all. He is just too nice to be true.

Everything was like a sweet dream. You know... everything was just so nice. I actually found someone so close to my heart thru Friendster!

It was then I realise how special he meant to me after all the things he had done for me.

He was there to talk to me when I was down. He gave me comfort and support during my low period. His hand is always there to hold me and help me out... I couldn’t hide the way I look at him. I am so so attracted to him. I knew I am in love for good.

I have forgotten the feeling of being loved. He brought me back the feeling… And so I have decided to speak out how I feel...

[23:41:59] Anne and her: hey.. can i ask something?

I thought I sounded stupid. But then again, if I don't say it, how do I know if he feels the same too! It's the 20th century so girls taking the initiative is nothing. :P

We continued our friendship and went out as often as we can. I really enjoyed every moment with him. He is just so fun to be with and he makes me smile like no others can. I am so blissfully in love.

That night seems to be the most beautiful night I had ever seen. We sat at the playground under my block. He bought me a cutie pooh bear... We called it "Pee-Poo". Don't ask me why that name but I love it. :)

His presence makes my heart skip a beat. I was exceptionally shy that night when he sat beside me but I am smiling all inside.

And then the romantic part is here!!! Hee Hee!

He held my hands and looked into my eyes... I hold my breath and my heart beats faster. And he pops THAT question. And of course I said yes. I have been waiting for it like since forever… Sounds cliché eh? But I am so in love with him that no matter what he says, I will say "I DO!"

And that's how our love story unfolds...

This wasn't the 1st time I got into a relationship... But this is the 1st time I felt so special... The feeling is totally beyond words. I have found a man who is willing to take care of me and I trust him for that. During this period of time when we are together, he brought me to see the world. The bright side of the world that I have yet discover before I knew him. Everything was just too wonderful...

He loves me for who I am and I felt the same way too. I learnt to love myself more and I changed for the better...

I love the way we are... always seem to be in the world of our own... so protected, nice and sweet. Whenever he held my hands tight, I felt the love he had for me and the passion to protect me. I finally smiled... from the bottom of my heart.

His imperfection seems so perfect in my eyes. Thanks for everything... I love you baby... :)

We were on a trip to Hong Kong and Beijing when Dennis decided to mark this trip the most unforgettable.

On the 2nd day in Hong Kong, we visited the famous Big Buddha (and he must have prayed hard that the proposal will work out well! hee...) but we didn't stay there for long because Dennis said he had planned a surprised which we can't afford to be late.

And so we quickly took a MTR and rush back to our hotel @ Mongkok and get changed and took a cab to TST.

I don't have the slightest ideal where he wants to be bring me to. But when we reaches The Penisular Hotel, which is one of Hong Kong most expensive hotel, I was a little taken aback.

All the while I thought he wants to bring me to the nice restaurant at the peak... or perhaps a ride in famous Hong Kong boat. But Penisular never once came across my mind before.

I felt a little pressurized after I step into the hotel. I look a little underdressed. Baby never tell me where we will be going so I just wore a casual top and jeans. Aiyaiyai.

Baby was very sneaky. He wants me to wait at the lobby while he went to the concierge and get a little help. We waited for like 5 minutes and a lady came and lead us to the lift.

I thought to myself... could it be he booked a suite in the hotel and have inroom dinner? If so, rather romantic leh!

But the lift just went to the top floor... and we have to change to another lift to reach higher. The suite couldn't be at such high level isn't it? I got a little excited but I can't spoil the surprise by asking baby where are we going.

The lift stops and the doors open. The 1st thing I saw when the doors open was...

OMG! My legs went a little wobbly because I didn't have any mental preparation. I was too shocked and excited to say a thing. The lady in charge sat us down, got us to sign some form where you have to note down your particulars, including our weight. After that, we have to watch some safely videos... That's when I realise it's true... I AM GONNA SIT IN A CHOPPER aka HELICOPTER!

We waited for like 10 minutes or so before we can board the chopper. I was shaking by that time because I was scared. I am well-known for having air sickness. ><

But everything was so beautiful. The Pilot was a funny man. The view was spectacular and we can see almost the whole Hong Kong. Baby look rather excited too and kept snapping while asking the Pilot lotsa what-nots questions. We were wearing this headphone with mic for communication but most of the time the engine sound covered our voice.

And the special moment came...

Baby suddenly told the pilot that today he have planned to do a proposal to his girlfriend, me! I went stone and stare at him while the pilot laughed and say he will switch his headphone off to ensure he hears nothing. Hee!

That's when he popped the question...

"

"Baby, will you marry me?"

"

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I can't believe this is happening! Machiam some hollywood movie! And I just teared! (At the same time feeling faint-y due to air sick.) Guess what I said? I said: "YAH OKOK!"

He put the ring on my finger, we kissed and collapse in each other's arm and enjoyed the rest of the journey...

When we got down, baby asked, "How come you never say I DO?". That's when I realise I was too sick to give a proper answer. And there I go, "I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO!" HAAA! Sorry ah I didn't know I am sucha spoilsport!

We have to wait for the dinner to start therefore we went strolling along the habour and watch the sun set. PURRRRRRRFECT I SAY!

The dinner was too luxury. The restaurant was too posh. The starter dish and dessert buffet was way toooooooooooooo much variety. Almost like main dish. Or even more. I was like a super rich tai-tai that day. HEHEHEH!

I am sucha lucky girl. My boyfriend really went all out to make sure that day was a very special one. He made reservation long ago to ensure that the surprised won't fail and he have to make multiple overseas call which cost quite a bomb to his phone bills. And the funniest part is one of the staff spoke cantonese to him and he can't understand a thing! Poor boy. How come I don't know he can be so romantic one! ><

The rest of the trip was nothing but sweetest. It's like a pre-wedding honeymoon like some said! ^^

We held our Solemnization at The Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore. On that special day, we shared it with our lovely family and friends.
It was indeed one of the happiest day of our lives. :)

That day was the day we officially said, "I DO",

"I married my best friend, my soulmate... the love of my life."

I am sure that my baby has filled u all with the details of how we knew each other and got into this beautiful relationship. I want to add a few words over here too. Hee.

What words do I have to describe this romance that we have? One word will suffice I guess... Absolutely Wonderful! Hmmm... that makes it two instead. :)

Its almost a year that we have been together. Anne has brought me lots of joy and laughter. I never realised how well a person can be treated until I met this girl. When I am with her the feeling is just so so different and it hasn't changed till this day and will never change in years to come I believe. I just feel so pampered!! SO blissful! So perfect!

She is really the best girlfriend I could have ever wished for. I swear.

I have found a girl whom I want to take care of for the rest of my life. Baby I hope that we can realise the dreams that we have harbored and talked about oh so often. Thanks for everything that you have given me too... Je t'adore...
