Loving Sally

I’m back.

It’s been awhile :P For those of you who have been asking why I stopped writing, well it’s not because I gave up. Rather, I’ve been spending a lot of time with that special someone, so I didn’t have time to sit down and write. Uh, yes, I actually need to sit comfortably, relaxed and peaceful without any distractions, before I can start writing anything :P Yes, yes, I know I need more practice :P

Sally

It’s been roughly 3 weeks since I started dating Sally. I could still recall that very special day, when I nervously asked her to be my other half. My heart was pounding. The things I said were all messed up. I couldn’t think straight and I felt excited all over. The feelings were so intense; so overwhelming that I almost wanted to stand on my chair and scream on top of my lungs!

Sally looked at me calmly and gave me a reassuring smile.

And when she said yes… My life changed.

Hand in hand

Loving Sally has definitely made me a happier person. I felt lighter now, more alive. We’ve been spending a lot of time together, nurturing our relationship. Just hanging out with each other, without doing anything special in particular, is more than enough for me. Because just being with her fills me with love :)

We also believe that talking to each other can help to improve our relationship. Not just plain, superficial conversations, but open and honest, heart-to-heart talks. We set goals for ourselves and lay out plans for our future. I don’t believe in miracles, so no matter how confident we are, we still need directions. We still need to adapt to changes in our plans. We still need to face the many storms ahead of us. And we definitely still need to strike that darn TOTO and we will one day!

Blek :P

When we started dating, I realized that I've changed. More precisely, my lifestyle changed. When I was single, I used to spend a lot of time camping at home. I rarely go out because I hated the sun. I go out only for work, sports or if I needed to buy something. The rest of the time will be spent in front of my laptop playing computer games. Even my housemates commented that I played too much :P But, what else can possibly be more interesting?

Then Sally came into my life and I started spending more time with her instead. I became more active and started going out more often. We even wake up earlier on weekdays to catch breakfast together before starting work. Healthy lifestyle eh? But please don’t ask what we eat :P I spend less time at home and more importantly, I finally realize what good food really taste like! I mean, OMG! WHAT HAVE I BEEN EATING FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS!? I’ve been missing all the good stuffs in life! :P

*drools*

Another thing that changed in me, is my priority in life. If it hadn’t been Sally, I would be sitting in my room now, with a PS3 and LCD TV in front of me, playing MGS4 like a madman. These would have cost me a fortune. And this blog would be non-existent :P In fact, earlier I told everyone that it was inevitable, that I’d eventually get my hands on the PS3 once I get my bonus. Simply because there’s nothing else that I’m concern about except entertaining myself. Heh, looks like Sally can change the inevitable!

But the good thing is my priorities changed. PS3 is no longer relevant. For me, our future is far more important and I’d do anything, whatever it takes, to make it work. I knew that her priorities changed too, because we both agreed that the rainy days are just ahead of us, and we should start planning our savings together. And the very things we do now, will directly affect our future.

Me and Sally @ Sushi Tei

For the past 3 weeks, I’ve been meeting some of Sally’s close friends. I guess this is part of the dating tradition, where you bring your partner for meeting-the-friends sessions. All her friends were friendly and accepting. Most of them do have good sense of humor too, and is somewhat similar to Sally’s style. Imagine going out with a bunch of Sally Siows :) But it’s actually fun :P and I’d be happy to hang out with them again in the future.

I managed to introduce a few of my friends to her too, but the actual meeting-the-friends session for Sally will be on our upcoming KL trip. I’m SO looking forward to it! And I think it’s important that we’re able to spend some quality time together and doing abit of traveling. For this trip, we’ll be meeting some of my college friends and ex-colleagues, most of whom I haven’t seen for more than a year. I guess it’s about time we see each other again, because friends do make up part of our lives :)

My best friend, Adam

So yes, that’s Freaker and Sally doing their lovey dovey stuffs 3 weeks down the road. Heh. But of course, there’s more to come and I’m sure this relationship will go a long, long way.

Love you Sally. Always do.

See ya at Vivo City later. Haha.

What is love?

If your partner...

- Prepares Hibiscus Tea for you

- Buying bread for you in case you are hungry

- Letting you walk at the inside of the road while he takes the more dangerous side

- 'Lecturing' me on my choice of food.

and MOST importantly, made you feel that you have a FUTURE together.

I am really lucky, my boyfriend did all those :)

Freaker, u had in the mere 3 weeks we were together, made me feel really loved, all the time. Thank you very much for putting in so much effort. I felt it and truly appreciate it.

Love you darling. Always do :)
