6 years.

Today marks the 6th year we have been together. Like most couples, we have our ups and downs, but mostly ups I think :)

We almost broke up last year and we were single for 20 minutes. I still remember very vividly, the moment you walked away. It was the most horrifying thing I’ve ever experienced and almost instantly I knew I’d made the worst mistake of my life. Maybe it was cabin fever, maybe it was our methods to determine that we were truly meant for each other but in some perverted way, I’m glad we had that fight.

Here’s a post I wrote for our 3rd anniversary reproduced here because I have no words for us, other than I love you and I’m glad you love me back.

A very special date.
December 6th, 2007

After my last breakup, I swore off the male species and resigned myself to a lifetime of being single. It was a simple rationale, no boyfriend meant no disappointment. To be honest, I was more relieved than sad, considering it was a long distance relationship (KL-UK) and the fact that he had commitment problems that drove me insane. One day, after a 2 year relationship and 6 months of broken promises and not seeing him, I finally realised it was not going to work. I broke it off over the phone.

It took me a long time to finally accept the reality of the situation. I lived like a zombie for a while, constantly plagued by urges to call him and beg him to take me back. But I needed to be happy really bad. The relationship was bad for me, he was bad for me and at the end of the day, I didn’t really have a future with him.

In the middle of the mess, I met him. Of all places, an online forum. He had also just come out of a nasty relationship and had sworn off women. It started out as flirtatious bantering. And we gradually moved on to chatting on MSN Messenger. Sometimes when thoughts of my ex rushed back into my brains and my hatred for men reignited, I would even block him on MSN for days.

It didn’t take long for me to be smitten. He’s really smart, quick, witty and very knowledgeable. And the pictures arrived and I really liked what I saw. Soon, we were chatting more than 10 hours everyday. He would cross an 8-lane highway just to buy more Internet dial-up cards to stay online with me. Sometimes, we would talk on the phone…not frequently because he wasn’t in Malaysia (he got whisked away to the land of boredom for work).

Once he came out on the papers and I showed the article to my Mom. She thought something was up, her daughter showing her a newspaper article about a random stranger and while doing that, couldn’t stop smiling or giggling. Yes Mom, your daughter was in love. Finally, after more than a month, his stint in the land of boredom ended and on 6 December 2004, we met.

I picked him up at KL Sentral. I was really nervous. So nervous, that I popped the bonnet instead of my car’s boot. The first time we saw each other, we hugged for the longest time. Before KL Sentral disappeared from our line of sights, we were already making out furiously in the car. The rest, is what you call a history.

Today is our 3rd anniversary. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Your are my best friend, my pillar of strength and the best sex in the world =)

I love you so much, baby boo.

Meet mini Charlie! :)

I’m not much of a cute dangling charms carrying kind of girl but whenever I see something with dog motifs, I always find my principles wavering a bit. That said, I never bought any, just because none of them were of English Cocker Spaniels, which is what Charlie is.

Then Michelle (affectionately known as Ah Meow), an old friend started this website showcasing and selling her very own needle felted wool crafts. My willpower imploded almost instantaneously.

With not a minute trace of hesitation, I sent out an email to her, attached with my son, Charlie’s picture. The email subject line was simply, “omg omg omg omg”. I was literally starring at my inbox, waiting for first sign of response from her side. That was how much I wanted it!!!

# – This was the picture I sent to Ah Meow.

Fast forward to last week, Ah Meow called to tell me that the needle felt doll is already finished. I tell you, I seriously felt a rush of euphoria upon hearing from her and promptly got her to meet me the very evening.

# – Welcome to your new home, mini Charlie :D

I am so impressed with Ah Meow! The resemblance is uncanny! She’s got all the details down, even the way the flesh around his eyes wrinkle up!

# – Mini Charlie and Big Charlie.

You can read about Ah Meow’s post on making Mini Charlie for me here.

It’s hanging in my bag now but I’m hoping to pimp up my crackberry soon and use it as a phone charm!!! Ya, everyone deserves a first time!

# – Big Charlie approves of Mini Charlie :D

Thank you so much Ah Meow. This is the best early Xmas present I’ve ever gotten!

Thanks for supporting this cause.

I’ve been waiting forever to write this post. As some of you might know, I made a pledge a couple of months ago to raise funds to buy a hospital bed for Goo Tyng Tong, a bed-ridden 17 year old under the TLC Promise Me campaign.

Participating in this has been an enlightening experience for myself. I am still overwhelmed and touched by the amount of support shown by not just friends but complete strangers. I’ve promised myself that whenever I feel jaded or disappointed with people (most often than not over petty, silly issues), I’ll always think about this amazing display of generosity, kindness and selflessness to remind myself again that there are good in this world.

Well, after some unforeseen delay, Goo Tyng Tong’s hospital bed has been successfully delivered to him. On top of that, two of his housemates in similar plights have also received a hospital bed each.

Yes, thanks to your support and kindness, we’ve managed to raise enough money for 3 hospital beds. Thank you so, so, so much! The beds are double fowlers, basically means they can be raised in two parts, which would make tasks like feeding, changing clothes, cleaning, pass water and many more much, much easier. Hospital mattresses were also bought and I was assured by the vendor that they are not covered in ordinary PVC but with breathable water proof material.

# – Here comes another BIG smile!

# – The costs of the beds came up to RM5040.

After buying the 3 beds, there was RM175 left, which I made out in cheque to Goo’s care centre.

# – A picture of the cheque for transparency purpose (yes, that is my writing and it’s horrible).

THREE hospital beds! WOW! To think that I was not even sure if I could manage to raise funds for one bed.

You guys truly, madly, deeply rock!
