In just 12 more days, I will be the legal wife of the man who has been loving me unconditionally from the start, even when I haven't then.

I feel differently the same, should this make any sense. 7 years of relationship cum partnership, yet we knew each other 10 years ago, became close friends 9 years ago. We can practically proclaim "I've known her/him for almost half my life". Thus becoming legal spouses is merely a change to the 'official' status, just a paper ceremony. This way, everything remains. Yet, there are going to be so many upcoming phases and 'life' projects awaiting us - these are different tastes of life to be experienced. 

Building our love nest is going to be exciting, temporarily casting aside the months of hard works to be done which have already began. The end product is definitely going to be worthwhile, we are certain.

Moving out physically from my comfort home I've been with since birth, I'm already having tearful thoughts and moments now and then. So much emotional adaptations to make. Not coming back to my heroine welcoming me home, saying she knows it's me just by the sound of my footsteps with my hero giving his classic slight smirk to her quirky comment. Not coming back to my siblings ordering food delivery and asking whether to count me in. Not coming back to my parents having their eyes glued to HK/Korean drama series and debating over their differing predictions of the next scene. Not coming back to my brother cooking maggie mee and stealing a few mouths from his bowl without him ever complaining. Not coming back to the bed my siz and I share till today and having random conversations, discussions, gossips till either of us falls asleep. So many many more. Some may be embarrassed to admit or even mention how attached they are to their family. Not me. I proudly declare how emotionally and physically attached I am to my most precious family, Just like the wordings on my back dictate, "My family is beautiful because they make me believe that I am, by showing me how worthy I am to be loved, and because of them, I'm being nurtured to love." How to not be deeply attached to parts of your own soul? 

Fortunate thing is our own nest is still considered near to my comfort home so I'll still be able to get my healthy dose of emotional pill. 

Each love journey to its own, and I pray for all love to be equal in the eyes of all. No love is inferior. No love should be disregarded. No love should be measured by gender, race, nationality. Love doesn't have to be further complicated by the narrow mindsets of others, it is beautiful, whether it is between the same or different gender/race/nationality. He loves her for her. He loves him for him. So why should gender come into the picture? 

I'm digressing. It's just that, I want him to be happy too. 
Life for me, I wouldn't say it has been a breeze but since my last post, there hasn't been any major setback/hiccup that has occurred to me and for that, let me boast and spread my genuine happiness. 

1 Nov 2015: our 7th anniversary and he puts a ring on me. The proposal was a great success because I was so taken aback by the surprise that I screamed, laughed, cried altogether. The hysterical me obviously didn't manage to keep my composure (not that I was attempting to anyway) despite all the different cameras aiming at me. With our beloved families and close friends there to witness this significant moment, I have nothing more to ask for. 


  



His speech was nothing close to cliche, it was close to his heart, close to mine. I find myself replaying his speech in my head while eyeing on the beautiful customized ring on my finger. 
 

Another moment leading me into another phase of my life. 
I choke on my guilt whenever I think of the pain I put him through despite us not even being an item yet. How naive I was back then to have thought that my 2 exes could have loved me better than he does and that we would work out. His love for me was so patient & selfless it finally bears fruits; I came to the realization that deepest regret would be a part of my life's script if I were to continue treating him as a mere safe harbour. 

Endless history but this post isn't dedicated to the past but to the present 1.11.13, our 5th Anniversary. It's not a symbolization of the number of years we've been together but all the obstacles we've managed to overcome together and emerging as a stronger duo. 

12AM gift exchange.
The handmade card with heartfelt words written from him to me. As compared to some who shower their other halves with luxurious/extravagant gifts, we believe in the sincerity put into each and every single DIY gift and ntm our gifts are the One and Only. 

He had that day's programs all lined up but due to his finger's injuries, the trip to Adventure Cove had to be cancelled and replaced to another day when his finger fully recovers. 

So he booked the tickets to S.E.A Aquarium.


Simple brunch time at Vivo before heading to the Aquarium. 
 
Knowing that Vivo has Fruit Paradise, I had to sink my teeth into their tarts for the second time. The first time I had the delicious tart piled with colorful juicy looking fruits was during one of my 'alone' times. 



Taking the monorail into Sentosa.

Before stepping into the aquarium, there's a history and cultural trail you will have to pass through. Somewhat like youtube's compulsory ads, except this may be slightly more interesting(?)




Reminds me of polly pocket, one of my favorite childhood toys. 


On an ancient boat where again we had to watch a video depicting the ancient times. For half the time, I wasn't paying attention.


To me, the 4D boat 'ride' was the sole thing that had my attention span caught.  

TADAH

The crowd is only this intimidating when everyone exits the theatre after the boat ride. Thereafter, everyone dispersed & ventured onto their own paths. 


"This one must instagram. Wah, swam too fast la! YES, I got a nice shot, enough already."




Corals, you can't be this beautiful, NO!

"Don't judge me by my top, look underneath me & you will see the cutest smiley face."

While queuing up for the 'meet & touch' session, we saw an interesting sticker on the wall



Since I couldn't touch dolphins, starfish is fine too. Looks are deceiving. I've always thought that starfish is soft & silky until then I realized it's the complete opposite.

Harmless baby sharks. Too scaly for my liking. I've chills at the thought of their skin against mine. 

Flimsy looking sea creature.

Mandatory shot. 

Wriggly worms. 

PRESENTING MY FAVORITE DOLPHINS


LOOK HOW PLAYFUL THEY ARE. Swimming upside down. 

And their constantly sheepish grinning faces and eyes. Ahhh, too adorable I wanna dive right in & swim my days & nights away with them!


Then the monstrous looking crabs.
Suppose this is the boss. 

Then this is the attention seeking one. What's up with the twist? So vain. Saw people flashing out their cameras and phones then wanna pose and all. HAHA


Colorful jellyfishes.




Plunging right down. 


We sat here for close to an hour gazing at this large glass panel that contains so many sea creatures. Apart from gazing at these, we gazed at people too, more of making harmless jokes at the expense of others.


I'm no dainty lady who wears the most feminine dress you can find hence fine dining has never been my cup of tea. Enjoying food is my forte, but it's the environment of fine dining that makes me feel suppressed, it's as if I've to watch every move of mine. Even every laughter of mine has to be kept at its minimal so as to not cause any disturbance (especially when I'm one who laughs like king kong. Why suppress your happiness right?). Oh, call me a barbarian, but the food portion would have been sufficient for me when I was a toddler (ps: we went to Malaysia Food Street after this).

But, knowing how he planned out everything just to make me feel like a princess tug at every vein lying within my heart. But little does he know he doesn't have to go to such expense to make me feel this way.



Real beauty beyond the glass windows. The most beautiful dining view I've personally experienced.

Complimentary appetizer.

Lobster soup with generous fat chunks of lobster meat.

 Fresh oyster tasting which I like all the 3 different sauces that are equally compatible with the juicy oysters.

My main: Salmon with Hokkaido scallop.

His main.

Our dessert: Mont Blanc with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

With the price tags, it's within expectation that the dishes are worth patronizing.


I can come up with the cheesiest line that sends chills down your spine but none of those descriptive words come close to describing the love & passion I contain for you, for this story of ours. You know I'll keep on fighting alongside with you, even without any armour or sword cause I trust you to protect me against all odds. We'll be like Romeo & Juliet without the tragic ending. We shall have no ending. 

To eternity & beyond is too shallow so _______
