ANNIVERSARIES

Hello people,

Last week was a week of anniversaries. Actually the month of October is a month of anniversaries. Let me begin with my first anniversary that I celebrated

22nd October - My anniversary with my dear Sui Ying. Yes, it has already been a year since we started out together. As I reflect on my walk with her, I can say that it has been BitterSweet. Yes there were good times but there were difficult times also. But I thank God that she was brought into my life. She is to me the love of my life and I pray that our relationship will go far. How did it all begin? Hmm..that's a long story. About a year ago (actually more), a friend of mine suggested me to go out with her on a date. I mean just to get to know her better. I still remember it was a dinner outing at Nibong Tebal and we had chicken chop for dinner. During dinner, I noticed that I could click with her. So it was from there, that our relationship started to bloom. Cut the story short, September last year, I decided to tell her how I felt for her and was shocked to hear that she has the same feelings for me too. So after much prayer, 22nd October 2006 on a Sunday evening, we prayed and decided to become a couple. :)

26th October - Another individual that has touched my heart. None other than my God Brother Derrick. Haha actually the both of us still marvel at how God works. Both of us are definitely very different people. Seriously people think that both of us do not match up at all to become brothers. But after 1 year, we believe that God has indeed did marvelous things in our lives. How did it happen? 2 years ago, my own big bro, Jonathan left USM and one of his advice to me is to find a younger bro to take care and to be his mentor. So I prayed and during 3rd year, I couldn't click with any of the guys in CF. When I was in 4th year (meaning Derrick is 2nd year), it was in CPR that I got to know him more and got closer to him. So I tried to just test waters with him and I felt that he was giving positive responses. It was in camp (PBBC) that I decided to ask him formallly and formalize the relationship. Here's where my relationship differ from Jon. Jon and me are at professional basis meaning it doesn't go on to personal matters. Mostly about serving and also studies. But for me and Derrick it has become more than that. I now treat him like my own blood brother and really he is someone I truly care a lot now.

31st October - The last anniversary which technically I don't celebrate but I am happy and always remember about it. It is my parent's wedding anniversary. This year would be their 26th Anniversary. My parents got married in 1981 and two years later they had me. 5 years later they had my brother and then now both of us are all grown up. My parents are the sweetest couple you can find...(okay I'm just being bias). Here's to you mum and dad. I love you guys.

My parents this year...ain't them sweet
