Liz's New Hairstyle

2010-08-23T10:42:00.001+08:00

OMG! Baby changed her hairstyle!

This is her one day before the change.

And this is her one day after the change.

To put it into perspective, I also changed my hairstyle.

Before

After

Yeah. As you can so clearly see, no difference.

Nobody but YOU

It's not our anniversary or any special day but Joel and I just thought this blog was getting too dead for its own good so we just decided to write=)

In the previous post, the one that my baby Joey wrote, he already mentioned that we live faaaaar away. But he's just exaggerating. You know him.

But anyway...

Everytime we FINALLY see each other, we cherish each moment that we spend together.

When one of us leave, we feel such an emptiness in us.

(I'm saying "US" because i know he feels the same way too.)

At home away from each other, the yearning begins.

It lasts till we see each other again. Then it starts when one of us leave.

Such yearning for to hear his voice. Such yearning to look into his eyes and to smell his scent.

I love to see his wild hair when he wakes up. I love to make Milo for him each morning.

I love to watch him write. I love to tease him and see his many expressions.

He loves to watch me sleep even though i think i look ugly. But he never says i'm ugly.

I have the sweetest, warmest boyfriend in the world.

One who will text/call me everyday and long to hear my squeaky voice.

One who loves me for who I am: not just my looks and capabilities but everything i am

including my flaws.

He is one who talks about me with his guy friends and is proud of it.

He is one who still thinks i'm pretty when i'm not wearing any make-up, wearing glasses, and my pyjamas.

How can i ever bear to leave such a guy?

Sure, we all have our crazy moments. Occasionally snapping at each other (mostly I'm the one who starts it), and sometimes even awkward silence.

But it is all these odds and ends that make up a complete relationship.

What is a relationship built upon? Just love alone? That is not enough.

*According to me*

It is built upon mutual trust, respect, love, and acceptance towards each other's flaws and ugly pasts.

With all that, a relationship will be very stable.

A relationship built on physical attraction is doomed from the very beginning.

I believe Joel and I have a very stable relationship...even though we're having sort of a long-distance relationship.

Sometimes i think, "Hey, maybe its that distance between us that makes us cherish each other more and learn how to be patient and communicate well."

Despite all our numerous differences in interests, foods, and ideas,

I can proudly say that I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART<3

And i'm very sure that he feels the same way too.

When it comes to that...

Me and Liz have gone through two years and a few odd months together. It is funny because we are not like a typical couple. For one, we live a looooooong way away from each other. And it doesn't help to want my girlfriend so badly but only get to see her sporadically. I mean, we can't even meet up as regularly as we originally planned. (Which is one month once by the way)

I feel that this year, for the past few months, my babygirl and I have actually become closer. It took us 2 years and that few odd months to actually discover that 'hey, I really, really do love this person.' Through this time, we have actually discovered more about each other, our likes and dislikes, our favorite moments together...stuff which makes me think, 'WOW!'

Wow indeed. Because my baby and I are totally different in nature. For example, stuff that I like, she doesn't and vice versa. I absolutely adore Detective Conan and Liz just can't stand the series. We're different in our behavior as well. I am the childish and often immature one while my babygirl is the one who keeps me in check. She's like my nanny, taking care of me, babying me all the time.

And yet, through all our differences and our distance, we still managed to maintain our relationship to this level, up to this point in time when we totally cannot live without each other. I love my girlfriend to bits and pieces and I know she does too. In fact, even she has admitted that her feelings for me have increased and grown stronger since I asked her to be my girlfriend 2 years and a few odd months ago.

She will be leaving for the States in September (late August actually, but I prefer September because it seems further away. I'm naive like that sometimes) I don't know how I am going to manage without the constant SMSes and calls from her. I have grown so accustomed to the early morning SMS: 'Good morning baby! :-*' and the late 'Goodnight Joey! I love you. :-*' that the sudden stop of these SMSes can seriously affect me. Not hearing her voice for a day can cause severe brain damage, what more 4 years?

But through it all, I believe that true love will prevail. 4 years will pass by in a breeze. Before I know it, my baby will be back in my arms again. One thing though, I know our love is definitely true, so hey, no worries right, babygirl?

I love you Elizabeth Han!

Joey

P.S: It's a lil too mushy hor? HAHA!

2010-02-19T14:03:00.004+08:00

Our second anniversary, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year date was yesterday.

Well, it was certainly a blast. And Liz probably summed it all up in the previous post.

MOST OF IT WASN'T TRUE! Like the part where I'm supposed to be terrified about torture and horror movies. I can proudly and openly say that I'm not...what's that? GET THAT MOVIE AWAY FROM ME!

Sorry about that, maybe I really do freak out over horror movies.

And yes, maybe opposites do attract. Like how a Detective Conan fan can fall for a Archie fan. Like how a non-tofu eater can go for lunch with a tofu lover. Like how a Arsenal fan can co-exist with a no-football person. Like how a GUY can fall in love with a GIRL. =)
It's all very amazing. We have different personalities, different styles of doing things and yet we can still keep the flame of our relationship strong.

Love is funny in so many ways.

I just found out that Liz loves the Pet Safari place in Ikano Power Center (that's the place) When I went there for the first time, mostly as a scouting mission, I somehow knew that she would just love the place. She's a big fan of animals and all that and I'm...well, not so much. And when I brought her there, I made a complete fool of myself (mixing up the Hush Puppies dog with some other breed) But luckily, Liz didn't think I was a complete moron. Haha...

And what else did we do...OH YEAH. I tried to get her 'drunk' or hyper with Kluang Station's cham. And that failed, mostly because of Archie comics. Those things are hazardous to a date. Be forewarned, guys.

And we talked. We talked about anything and everything. We talked about this and that....face to face. We hardly get this chance, even in our past dates. We just never really got the chance to sit down in some quiet place and just talk. With no distractions, no limits, nothing. Just me and her, sitting there, talking.

Love is sweet sometimes. Yes, far sweeter than the huge bag of sweets Liz bought me. =)

Oh, and Liz made me a book. Well, scrapbook. It had pictures of us, captioned beautifully in silver pen ink with a mix of pencil writings on it. Oh, BEAUTIFUL handwriting by the way. And I, even if offered anything in the world, would never be able to make something like that. It was just so nice of Liz to put in all that effort to make it. Me telling you all this won't help. You need to see some pictures!

Thanks a lot baby, for making yesterday great.
Let's do it again next month! =)

Written by Elizabeth

Joel and I went out on our 2nd Anniversary date=)
I had to go to KL of course...coz Melaka has absolutely nothing to do. but HEY!! there is that European Medieval times torture exhibition at the red house section called the TorturaII!
Haha...i wana go there.......but Joel will probably freak. Its those things that freak him out.
Lol...we're actually quite different people.
Horror movies freak him, but they dont freak me. Lizards n roaches(and other creepy crawlies) freak me but not him. I like spicy food, he doesnt. He loves sports, n im just a sports idiot.
We're always drinking different drinks n eating different foods. Unless its family style...where u have no choice but to eat what everyone is eating.
Lets see, what else? I like soft toys and animals. He doesnt really...but he puts up with me anyway. hehe....
He's like into Conan detective comics n im into Archie comics.
Hmm......people say opposites attract. Maybe they're right=P

ANYWAY, during our date, he brought me to the Pet Safari in The Curve (or some other one which i cnt remember the name) and we were there for like...an hour? or so.
WOW i love that place!!! Thnx, Joey, for bringing me there!
He also brought me to Kluang Station hoping i'd get hyper on one of the drinks there.
But i was too occupied with the archie comic i was reading and didnt really get hyper.
I guess he was disappointed.....or relieved..ha!
I dont really know what he's thinking sometimes. He's too complicated!
But we read each other's minds. Which is amazing!!
Haha...we're just weird.
By the way, we have just celebrated Chinese New Year, Valentines Day, and our 2nd Anniversary all in ONE DAY!!! =D

Thursday please come faster...

2010-02-16T19:05:00.000+08:00

2 more days! Darn time, it's moving too slowly.

FASTER FASTER. Thursday please come faster.

In a week...

2010-02-09T21:08:00.001+08:00

In a week, we'll meet.

That rhymes, and we're so totally awesome.

Really can't wait for the big big day!

Reply to my beeeeeeeeee

2010-01-21T19:20:00.000+08:00

To my one n only Joey…

Joey, you’re such a hopeless romantic in this blog and in any other ways concerning me.
I’m often speechless around you for that reason.
But Joel, I want you to know that I don’t mind if we’ve never gone out together on Valentine’s Day. Every moment we spend together is Valentine’s Day.
All the gifts you’ve ever given me (or GOING to give me) are enough to last me a whole lifetime of special events each.

I may not be as fluent in writing as you are…in fact im NOTHING close to you…but as long as my message got through, im satisfied. You are the one who knows me inside out. You know what my reaction’s gonna be in any circumstance. You know what my facial expression will be even when you can’t see me. You know what I’m thinking about all the time. And I love you for that. Despite all my irrational downtimes, you still stuck by me. You put up with me all these 2 years =)

You may disagree with me (u always do), but I have to say this again – I’m far from being perfect, dear. You always call me independent, nice, friendly, and sweet. But I know I’m not all that. I know I have disappointed you at some point. Please forgive me and guide me so that I won’t make that mistake again. The last thing I’d wanna do to you is to hurt you.

Falling in love with you was such an easy thing. You made it easy for me.
My love for you has moved me to do the things I never imagined I’d have the courage to accomplish. A good example is me writing such a long “letter” (aka blog post) to you. As you know I can’t really write. I’m sure you’re proud of me =D

This, which is supposed to be a reply to your pre-Valentine’s Day post, has turned into a personal letter. (Told you I can’t write…I can’t even stay on one single objective)

Anyway HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, my sweetheart =)
I know we wont be able to meet up on Valentines this year (again).
But hopefully we will on the 17th. Just remember that you’re always on my mind.
I LOVE YOU! <3

With lots of love,
Lizzie

P.S. Sorry to all you readers…this is a tad bit too mushy for public eyes. But oh well….

A letter to Liz

2010-01-21T13:41:00.003+08:00

To my dear Lizzie,

As Valentine's Day is just round the corner, it is customary for me to post something on our blog so that the world may feel our happiness. But customs often breeds contempt and boring repetition, and that is not something any relationship should have.

So I decided to change the usual style of writing romantic, sweet nothings to writing something less lofty. Remarkably, yesterday's effort failed terribly and I was forced to post it up on my blog instead. I found out that I have split personalities when it comes to blogging in different blogs. I am sarcastic in my own blog, and a hopeless romantic in this blog.

I love you.

And that might be the only romantic thing I write in this post so bear with me. We've been together for almost 2 years now and I'm sure you had to bear with my wild mood swings and kiddy attitudes throughout the whole time. I know I may not be the perfect boyfriend but I've certainly changed a lot, right?

We've both changed in some way. For you, you've gotten prettier, and more matured in your thinking. You're independent, nice, friendly and sweet. And you have long hair too, which is a staple in girls I like. You've fallen more deeply in love with me, and I have just done the same. Despite that, you've also gotten blurer in a lot of things that you do.(citation needed) All in all, you've changed to be a more perfect girlfriend than when I first knew you.

As for me, I've certainly become a less quiet person. I don't keep to myself that much anymore and I can get really crazy at times. I have also become (slightly) less childish than before. And...that's about it in terms of change. I'm overall still that naughty kid inside. But hey, I still have flashes of that adult kid, just waiting to burst out of my shell. Waiting and waiting.

Two years together has shown me how much love can really change a person. I learn to be more responsible for my actions, knowing that should I screw up in anyway, I would be hurting someone else OTHER than myself. I've learnt that being selfish in a relationship will only be like pouring water on the flames. I mean, who does THAT?
Except maybe for firemen. And any logical sane person who sees a fire going out of control.

But I digress. This is supposed to be a pre-Valentine's Day post. Why have I gone off to talking about fires and firemen?

So Liz, I can only tell you this Valentine's Day; Happy Valentine's. I know we probably won't meet up, but then again, we've never meet up on Valentine's Day anyways. It's 3 days AFTER Valentine's Day that you cannot miss. Okay? Pinky promise?

Love you. <3

Love and kisses(XOXO?)
Your Joey

Singapore!

A picture speaks a thousand words. So by posting a few pictures, I'll have a few thousand word post. =)

This is through the weekend, when I went down to Singapore to attend Liz's brother's wedding. I can say one thing, it's 10 times grander than anything KL can muster.

This is a gothic picture. I took it. I'm good. -Joel

Boo! -Liz

I was observing the whole makeup/hair process. It was weird. -Joel

She was bored, so she kept making faces. -Joel

I LOVE THIS PIC! -Liz

The final result.
Verdict: Nice.

SO CUTEEEEE! -Joel & Liz

SO PRETTY! -Joel

I just love this pic so much. =) -Joel

Here's a flower for you. -Joel

Why thank you very much- Liz

The rose. Our rose. -Joel

Birthday boy's post

2009-10-20T23:41:00.004+08:00

Today(actually yesterday) was my birthday. And boy was it a whole lotta fun!

That's because Liz came today. And I brought her to my house, (she hasn't been here since forever). And my mom made spaghetti and mushroom soup and it was seriously crazy. Then we spent the next two hours looking at my old baby photos, which Liz had always wanted to see. She kept going, 'AWWWW! So cute!' And yes, I admit I'm cute...=D

And Liz gave me a whole bunch of presents AND a handmade cake! My grandma loved it so much she kept going for so many helpings. Now the cake is nearly gone. (I think I shall finish it later)
Liz kept referring to her presents as junk, but I disagree! She put in a lot of effort to make the cake and to write all those letters. Thanks a lot baby! =)

Then we went to hang out at MidValley. But Time was always our enemy. Soon, it was time for Liz to leave. Sigh...when will you come back Liz? I hope it'll be real soon...

ILY!

=)

2009-09-29T18:55:00.003+08:00

We'll have good times, we'll have bad times...
We'll have all our times TOGETHER.

Some pictures

2009-09-24T15:47:00.005+08:00

Aloha!

This blog will not be updated until maybe(and it's a big MAYBE here) next month. It's a long hiatus because both of us have our own things to do and we're both busy. But here are some of the latest pictures taken within the last 2 months.

Bowling alley.

Going home.

The sky was supposed to look orangey.

Sad.

Sad, yeah I know.

Out for a stroll.

By the seaside.

Webcamming.

Our first date

2009-08-04T21:01:00.003+08:00

Our first date I will never forget
despite the many times we had previously met.
The first date is all I remember, you see
Because all the other times, you were not talking to me.

I was as nervous as could be
but I hid it well so you could not see.
Were you as nervous as me, I wonder,
leaving me these questions to ponder:

Did you know how I felt or were you aware
That the simple brush of your hand against mine
was enough to make me quiver
And causing me to unintentionally shiver.

I had so much to ask you right then
but how do I ask when our date is at an end?
Will I see you again, will you text or call?
or did I simply imagine the magic of it all?

And Time has provided an answer for us
as we moved on from friends to lovers.
We are still in love with each other as that first date way back then,
and this is one of the true love stories that will never end.

Random

2009-08-04T20:31:00.003+08:00

Each breath slowed to a thousand sighs
And my heart drummed out frantic beats
I glowed brighter than the morning sun
wiping away my clouds cold and grey.

I'll never forget the day you arrested my heart.

Joel

2009-07-29T17:29:00.001+08:00

Written by Liz:

Love this new layout! but the fonts are hard to read for me. Is it something wrong with my comp?? Cuz Joel says nothing is wrong with it on his comp.

Renovation done

2009-07-27T23:26:00.003+08:00

At last, our blog has been renovated. It's kinda nice now, isn't it Liz?

Communication

2009-07-25T22:32:00.003+08:00

Liz and I recently faced a problem in our relationship.

No, it wasn't a terrible argument which ended in a break up, which would also spell the end of this blog.
No, it wasn't a 'I mistook your cousin for your girlfriend' case, which would more likely happen in a drama series than in real life.
Yes, it's a scenario faced by a lot of couples nowadays, especially if you're in a long distance relationship like us.
And yes, we handled it perfectly well. (refer to example #1)

We had this little,wee problem called communication, or otherwise the lack of it. Y'see, both of us had become monotonous in our SMSes and our once-nightly calls routine turned into a weekly one. In our SMSes, we would go something like this:

Joel>Liz
Hey, I miss u!
Liz>Joel
I miss you too! Watcha doin?
Joel>Liz
Nth! haha
I'm bored!
Liz>Joel
Me too!
Joel>Liz
N watcha doing?
Liz>Joel
i'm watching tv.
Joel>Liz
ok...ttyl then. cya!
Liz>Joel
Cya!

And we went through this mindless talk day in, day out. Week in, week out. We had no new topics to discuss, no proper conversations going on. I don't know if Liz felt the same way but I found looking up and starting new topics difficult. I didn't know what to say and most of the time, I felt powerless to stop it. And slowly, the flame we both had in the first few weeks of our relationship was extinguishing.

I did the only reasonable thing. I went to the Internet.

According to wikipedia(and a whole lot of other websites I went to) long distance relationships are founded and rooted in:
a) trust, and we had plenty of that.
b) love, we had plenty of that too...
c) COMMUNICATION.

And one night was all it took for us to resolve this little issue. We talked for over 2 hours about everything and anything. We told each other secrets, 'hidden' deep down, we told jokes, we said mushy stuff. Basically we talked about everything(including the weather I think) under the sun, or in our case, the moon.
And I felt like I was back to last year, when we both just started dating. I could tell her anything openly. There was no barrier between us, we just talked and talked and talked. The ideas flowed and flowed. Laughter was shared. Basically, it was like being in love all over again.

So we finally settled the problem. Together, we can face anything. =)

I wish I understood

2009-07-14T18:38:00.003+08:00

I wish I understood

Why does it hurt so bad,
yet feel so good inside?
The longing pain both
cutting and joyful.
I wish I understood.

You know I love you
till the ends of the earth.
But how can I show that love to you,
when I am miles and miles away?
I wish I understood.

I want to hold you in my arms
and to grasp your hand in mine.
To look you in the eyes
and whisper a soft 'I love you'.
I wish I understood.

This distance is what we have to face,
but our love will stay faithful and true.
Till one day this distance we conquer,
then finally, we'll be together forever.
And now I understand.

I can't say I know what to write in response to Liz's previous post. So I just wrote a poem to tell her how much I love her.
I think that this poem reflects our current situation. We're miles apart from each other, unable to see each other on a whim. Unlike those lucky couples who get to meet each other everyday, we only meet up when she comes up to KL or I go down to Melaka. Plus these meet-ups are pretty short, like 5-6 hours max. So being able to see each other is already a joy for us.
But I have to admit that I'm hardly the patient type of person. I'm constantly pestering Liz about when she's coming to KL, and that's a fact that she will wholly agree with me. And sometimes, I border on the annoying. But Liz patiently puts up with me(I think). And so our relationship has continued to get stronger by the day. It's been nearly a year and a half and we're still going strong, maybe even stronger than the day we first got together.
I think we can go on for a long time, till forever. (I hope)
But life is just so unpredictable, isn't it? We'll just have to pray for God's will and look forward to tomorrow.

Joel

You and Me

Two different states with a river in between,
is enough to separate us of what we could have been.
Some said we could not have made it even a year
and yet here we are, our love stronger than ever.
Our love has faced the trials of time and distance,
and has come out victorious, packed with persistance.
I know that one day our wait shall come to an end,
and our hands shall be joined together again.
I have opened my heart to you, forever to be.
Because I know one day, it will be only you and me.

ILY Elizabeth Han.

From liz to joel

2009-07-14T17:01:00.002+08:00

From Elizabeth to Joel:

I love you...

I love:
the way you look at me...
the way you smile at me...
the way you make me laugh all the time...
the way you write...
the way you walk...
the way you talk to me in your quiet voice...
the way you make u-turns...
the way you never want me to get hurt...
the way you say "dont want lah" when i baby you when you're hurt...
the way you get along with the little kids...
the way you always hold my hand...
the way you make my heart skip a beat...
the way your hair goes all over the place when you wake up...
the way you swim like a fish...

I love you ANYWAY you are.

The Memory Lives On

The dream is over, but the memory of the dream lives on.
A dream which turned into reality, right before our eyes
in the form of a memorable week, filled with new things.
The joyfulness, fun, laughter intermingled together.

The week is over, but the memory of the week lives on.
A week together, full of up with little down.
A pleasant week with the one you love
is always enough to bring a smile to your face.

The trip is over but the memory of the trip lives on.
A trip to explore a new and exciting place, and
the fear and anxiety lifted with the smile on your face.
The trip might be over, but the journey is just begun.

The memory of the dream, week and trip will forever stay in my mind.
Vivid and lasting, till the end of the eternal waves of time.
This memory will be stored, kept safe in a drawer in my mind.
And it will continually be taken out and shared, so that
the memory lives on forever.

The Power of Love

I just want to share a little about the one week with Liz. I know I might have gushed a lot about the trip in my blog already but this little event in the trip really shone out.

Let me tell you a little story. There was this little boy who went on a trip to Singapore. He headed to Sentosa Island with his girlfriend. He heard about the cable cars going to Sentosa and he was so excited in trying it out. But unknown to this little boy, his girlfriend was actually terrified of heights. Because he did not know about this fear of hers, this little boy persisted in riding the cable car, unaware of his girlfriend's feelings.
But the girlfriend did not stop him nor did not throw cold water on the little boy's plans. She merely smiled at him and agreed to get on the cable car with him. The cable car pushed off, and so did the girlfriend's fear. She clung on the railings for dear life, hardly daring to look up. She held on to his hand tightly and prayed that the ride would end slowly. The little boy was blissfully unaware of his girlfriend's discomfort, himself enjoying the ride immensely. When they finally reached the station, the little boy noticed that his girlfriend was pale. He suddenly felt very selfish. Why hadn't he at least comforted her during the ride?
He turned to his girlfriend and asked, 'Why did you get on the ride even though you were so afraid of heights?'
His girlfriend managed a small smile and answered, 'That's because I had you beside me.'

This is based on a true story of what happened in Singapore. Thanks Liz for conquering your fear just because of me. <3

I love June.
No.
We love June. It beats February anytime as the most romantic month of the year. For us, that is.
Today is the first day of June, and so Liz came down to KL!

Reading a music book.

Who says you only read in Popular! You can take pics too!

Her: This doesn't look like me!!!
Him: You're prettier.

Bored in Sunway.

Using my phone because hers was out of battery.

Nice effect turned out quite scary.

The lift doors as our mirror.

Those two 'people' beside us were really irritating!

Why is she so much taller than me?

Like really. She can literally look down on me.

Ah...

Ooh...

The shaky effect caused by the bumpy road, not my driving.

The darkness masks her sadness.

The end of June please come faster...

To Joel:

My love for u is like the red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June.

My love for u is like the melody

That's sweetly played in tune.

So deep in love am I:

And I will love thee still;

Till the seas run dry,

Till the rocks melt with the sun.

And i will love thee still

On the 7th Day of May, my girlfriend came to town.

We took lots of weird pics,

Okay....she took a lot of weird pics. I just look blur all the time.

Blur, but happy.

If you look carefully at the last few pics in order, you can see I was getting pretty tired.

Until I finally fell asleep.

Sigh...I wish she was here now.

So that we can both be happy/goofy/blur together.

Me: Okay, Liz...Put down the cards slowly...
Her: NOOOOOOOOOOO! I like your goofy face!
Me: C'mon...it's not that bad....

Come again soon Liz! I miss you!

Y'all can SO tell this is Liz writing... i aint as deep as Joel can get and im definitely not a writer.
but anyway, jz read on...

We (us, meaning Joel and me...duh) were talking on d phone one night.
This topic about having kids came up SOMEHOW...
And Joel started blabbering about how many kids he wants (and i havent even said a word!)
First he's like...

(not in exact words n i prolly made up most of it)

First he's like..."i like football.
Lets have a football team."
So i said "thats 11 ppl!!! i mean, kids!"
Then he snickered n said he can be the manager or smthing.
He continued to say "OH, and ther's 11 substitutes, so thats 22kids.."
I rolled my eyes
(rbr, it was on the phone so he couldnt see me)
Then he continued again saying "23! plus the referee!"
I rolled my eyes again thinking he must be nuts. I decided to open my mouth n start saying something before he starts wanting cheerleaders and a few audiences!
"You must think im a baby making machine!!! hmph.."
So he said "Ok, how bout futsal? Thats 7 players"
(I forgot if he said there were any substitutes)
I said "how bout badminton? thers only 2 ppl or 4 in doubles"
Then he proceeded to tell me about the teams and what nots. I didnt understand a single thing.
"Ok, chess, then. Thats definitely two people," i interrupted
He said "Bt i like football! and why do u keep changing?"
I replied jokingly "Oh....maybe i should just change a husband too"
(We're not married. Dont worry. This is just a conversation where we're going too much ahead of ourselves)
Him, scared, quickly changed his tone of voice -
"Ok lah, i just want one boy and one girl"

This is jz to let y'all readers know more about Joel! =P
hehe...

P.S. He's still so wonderful. No one can replace him=)

The wonders of youth. Boundless energy, spirit and even sometimes even patience. Or the lack of it. The strength and unlimited adrenaline rush which makes us do things, which keeps us going on strong. The ability to live life at it's fullest.

To live and yes, to love.

Life is but a passing shadow, a poor player.
These words echo, ringing hollowly in the deep recesses of the mind. The famous playwright who wrote these very words might have felt the pain of life, the burden of living a mundane, routine life. But this same playwright wrote these lines as well,
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Life might be mundane and boring for Shakespeare but it's definitely not for us. You are my summer's day; no, you are more than that even. There are hardly any words that could so much as describe you in your beauty, your poise, your elegance, your everything.

Youthfulness is short, it has a limited time span. Youth might spell freedom for some, but for us, it is merely a bond which keeps us from each other. We do not want to waste it and yet, we are forced to. But there is a day where we will no longer be governed by bonds, of school, work or the rule of parents. One day, we must move forward out out of youth and embark on a journey called life.

And I intend to travel the whole length of this journey with you by my side.

People tell me it's impossible a deed.
People tell me that it's merely a phase faced by all youths.
People tell me that we're blinded by a funny thing called puppy love.
Well, those people were wrong.

They do not understand puppy love, as they call it. A puppy, when it is able to love, is eternally bound by love to that object of its affections. Why are dogs known as man's best friends? When a puppy is born and raised by it's owner, it only shows it's affections for it's master and no other. This is puppy love, the steadfastness and the single-minded love that goes beyond all reasoning.

Our love is unconditional, they should know that. But they say youth is the driving force of our affections for each other. They say that once we grow older, our feelings for each other will change. Thy say our youthfulness has blinded us.
They can say whatever they want because I'm going to plug up my ears and just love you with all my heart and soul.
Unconditionally and irrevocably love you.

We're not blinded by anything. If we are, you'll be the one who blinds me with your light, shining brightly like a star in the sky. Beautiful and perfect.

We're not perfect. I know I have my faults and you have your faults as well. But we learn to tolerate each other. We learn to grow to accept each other for all our imperfections. And we look through the veil that covers everyone else's eyes to what really makes us, us. We look beyond the faults to what actually lies within us. And that is the most important thing.

I know I love you. And with every inch of my heart, I'll love you.

I'd loved you once, I'll love you now, and I'll love you forever.

Thank you, Elizabeth.
Because of you, I learned to love and be loved in return.

The best pic we took all day!

Him: Blur Her: Pretty

=)

Notice the color of our clothing? Similiar.

Him eating ice-cream.

Him in the driver's seat.

In the car, waiting.

Sunway Pyramid, the place we went to.

It don't matter if we stay so far away,
Our hands interlocked together.
We'll brave all storms in life bravely,
Till we can be together forever.

Distance is difficult.
Distance is tough.
But hand in hand,
We'll overcome even distance.

Hand in hand,
Step by step,
We'll take a journey called life
Just the two of us.
Together.
Forever.

This blog has not been updated for the longest time.

And now, the him side of this blog has decided that he will step up to take the job. =)

I recently found heard this song and I found that it really applies to us.

Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat- Lucky

Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my and baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday.

Valentine's Day is coming soon. And me and Liz would like to wish all those couples out there a Happy Valentine's Day.

Of course, Valentine's Day is not only for couples. Valentine's Day is for anyone and everyone. It is a time where you show love to people. And who doesn't know that we need more of that in this less than peaceful world.

But of course, I can't really celebrate Valentine's Day with Liz. We're separated by 2 different states. And what more, we'll both have to do school on that day. It's really tough but we'll make it through by using email or by phone. This is what we have to face. And I'm sure that both of us will be happy anyway we spend Valentine's Day.

And of course, we don't need to spend Valentine's Day together. It's enough if we can even spend any days together. I'll be content.

I have a little prayer.

Dear LORD,

I thank you for giving me such a great girlfriend. She's sweet, nice, caring and pretty. A plus is that she loves You too. LORD, please help me to understand her more everyday. The days we have together are scarce but it is all in Your will. You are the one who will determine our futures. I pray that Your will be done in our lives, O LORD.

Thank You once again for this girl that You have provided for me. In all these things I humbly pray,

Amen.

So……this is the first time I’m writing here=)
I wanna tell you about the time Joel sent me an MMS of himself!
It was Sunday afternoon…I smsed Joel. He told me he was trying on suits.
So of course, me being the die-hard JOEL WONG fan, I begged him to take a pic of himself and show me.
Being the obedient boyfriend, he immediately took a pic of himself wearing the suit in the changing room.
and WHOA, was he HOT!! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!! =D
I culdnt stop staring at that pic. I was hopelessly mesmerized…..
So help me. Joel’s hot.

This post shall be dedicated to HER.

I have no idea how we met. It seemed like a huge chance thing. But with pictures, it is proven that we met when we were really young. 1996. Which means I was 6 years old and she was 5 years old. I guess I was the naughtiest thing to come out of BBCKL at that time. Lots of people feared the destruction that I could cause; mostly with my sharp tongue.

So to put it simply, I wasn't a person you'd want to get to know.

Fast forward a few more years. I still remember that time clearly. My parents were having a discussion about Pastor's announcement after church. Pastor had announced that a new pastor would move in to our Malacca Mission and minister there. I was still a small kid then and obviously didn't understand anything. Then my dad turned to me and said the one phrase which I remember so clearly: "I heard that this new pastor from Singapore has a daughter about your age."

And I remember smiling. A girl about my age. What fun!

The first Sunday (in my memory, of course) this missionary family came to our church was in 2000(?) I remember seeing HER for the first time. Love at first sight? More of infatuation. I was hopelessly smitten. And I'm not exaggerating. But, in 2000, I already began to notice people of the opposite sex. And being the ever noisy me(I was only noisy during Sunday School classes,) I didn't really go up and talk to her. Before I knew it, she was gone. The only thing I knew about her was that she now lived in Malacca and that she could play the piano really well. I was really drawn to her and soon, began to get excited as soon as I knew that she was about to visit our church. I didn't really know the feeling but to the naive me, it all didn't matter.

I remember trying get closer to her every time; I would sit behind her during Sunday School singing. I still never dared to talk to her at all. How I regret that now! Then, everyone would tease me about her. Everyone being the monkeys like John and Joseph. This served to increase my fear of approaching her. I only stuck to the background, doing little things like helping her get food during group dinners or lunches. I don't think she even noticed me then!

Finally, whenever her family came down to preach at our church, she would not come. Her reason for not coming was that she had to play the piano in Malacca and that there was no-one in our church to talk to her. She felt more familiar in her own church. I remember the disappointment I felt when I didn't see her walk through the church doors. Bitter, biting deep into the heart. I felt sad that she was not present, that I could not see her.

When I was in F2, I got my own Friendster site. I was not really active in Friendster then. I remember one Sunday afternoon, I was killing time in front of the computer. I decided to go into Friendster before they deleted my profile. I think that Sunday was one of the most memorable for me. I suddenly decided to search for her profile. I typed in her name in the search box. Only one profile came up. Her profile! I immediately clicked on her profile. I was so excited that I could find her through Friendster even though there were so many other profiles.

It took me a year and a half to muster up the courage to click the 'Add as Friend' button on her profile. Then it took me another half a year to sent her a comment (testimonial then...) I was so happy when I received a reply comment! After that, the comments were just revolved around the festive seasons and birthdays; mostly from me to her.

I don't know how it all began. Maybe it was when I had my first handphone. I got her number and began to SMS her. In addition to that, we also used MSN to chat. Our relationship was purely one of friendship. She also didn't come to KL as much. There was once when I actually went down to Malacca to drop Pastor Douglas Worley. I saw her but the only thing I did was to shake her hand! Dumb dumb dumb *hits head*

Finally, December 2007. I began to SMS her more. Nearly everyday, SMSes were traded between us. Finally, on February 15th, one day after Valentine's Day, we finally met up for the first time. It was actually our first date. =D

Asking her to be my girlfriend was a not as difficult as I envisioned it to be. 17th February. Another day to remember too!

It's been nearly a year since we've been together. And we're still going strong. I think we've both matured in some way or another. Well fine, maybe she matured more. I'm still the mischievous little monkey. And of course, we've both learned to understand each other more. This is probably the main thing is couple-hood.

Elizabeth, this post is of course dedicated to you. =)
