Today is the 12th of May, 2006.

Exactly a year and a half ago Shu-Wen and I embarked on a journey together. A journey we're both still holding firmly on to.

Looking back on how far we've come, I can't help but realise how much we've gone through since we started or even before we started out. I realised we've probably argued about almost everything there is to argue about, patch things up time and a again with each time making us that much stronger together.

It's really been surreal how things have turned out for us but i suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise if your relationship is based on the one thing that truly matters. God. I'd admit, there we're times when we left him out of the equation but how we'd eventually come running back to the source of it all for strength and guidance time and time again. As much as love would be the binding principle, I can sincerely say that without God our relationship wouldn't be where it is today.

Despite feeling really blessed to be in a relationship with Shu-Wen now, should this quesiton of me ever being with her come out 5 years ago I would have firmly said No without a batting an eyelid. It was that inconceivable for me to be in a relationship with her at that time. To be really honest, i didn't like her anymore then she did, she hated my attitude and I hated the way she told me off about it.

How things change...

I guess she probably saw a change in my attitude and decided to talk to me again after 3 years? Cause it was towards the end of form 4 that we actually talked again, prior to her move to Kota Kemuning. Honestly, although i didn't mind talking to her i still hadn't expected to be friends with her.

But over time, with her leaving relatively close by, our friendship at that time grew rather close. From the early morning breakfast's we used to have to the occasional priviledge of sending her home it all sought to draw us closer together.

It was really a whole year of friendship before we actually got together. I suppose you can say the theory of dating your best female friend (duh... it would be rather wrong to be dating Marc wouldn't it?) has some basis to it. Cause we really just started out as friends.

Mathematically, a year and 6 months ago would have meant starting a relationship smack in the middle of our SPM exams. And that was precisely what we did. I suppose when you're in the moment (A 3 hour phone call in the dead of the night does make you all daring and sorts i guess) you tend to block out all form of rationalization cause screwing up on your SPM is not something anybody would like.

Early Days in our relationship

And the rest is history.

The past few months have been rather long since we're apart but to really sit down and think, the past year and a half did just breeze by.

Have A Nice Day.
