once a upon a time
i met a boy at a thanksgiving dinner
he was tall and armed with a camera phone
he tagged a video of me
he tagged a video of me
and we became friends on facebook
i told him a joke
i told him a joke
and we added each other on msn
we've been talking ever since
september 2008, maybe.
then he got posted to my church as an intern

and i saw more of him
we started texting

and we were still talking almost everyday

september 2009
our first fight as friends
our first fight as friends
ymlc - significant
God did something in our hearts
our perspectives changed
and it began
october 2009
he asked me out on study dates
and it began
october 2009
he asked me out on study dates
and finally, on a dinner date (:
hours long phone calls late into the night
more dates & surprises - literally - followed (:
he said 'I love you'
and i did too
"it's a sweet, sweet thing
standing here with you and nothing to hide"
we waited 'til it was right
"the more you love God, the more you'll learn to love others"
and a letter from a beloved mentor:
"for if the willingness [to obey] is there,
the gift is acceptable according to what one has,
not according to what he does not have."
- 2 cor 8:13
on that fateful day
you held my hand in yours - cheeky!
but i like (:
and we made it official
on the 4th of december 2009
blessed with blessings from all around
friends, family & loved ones
our promise rings - 1 john 4:19
to love God first and love God most
the 25th - kairos, you'd said (:
i left for sweden in january of 2010
lots of prayers
lots of heartaches
many nights and days spent with a tear-stained pillow
but love is patient; it always hopes, perseveres, protects and trusts
fast forward; may 2010
we celebrate 5 months of love&gratefulness
blissfully in love
blissfully in love
although we're almost 9,500km apart
thankful to the Author who wrote each page of our lives before it came into being
to have and to hold from this day forward
thankful to the Author who wrote each page of our lives before it came into being

a lifetime to love; laugh and struggle, together
i ♥ you, ian lee (:

and i hope it made you smile (:
there's so much to be thankful for

but it's God who holds our hands and future in His unfailing love
that is hope
our future, secured.

once a upon a time
i met a boy at a thanksgiving dinner
(she was there with 2 awesome guitarists)
he was tall and armed with a camera phone
he tagged a video of me
(cos she had such an awesome voice, my camera phone hardly did it any justice)
and we became friends on facebook
i told him a joke
(it was more than just one joke)
and we added each other on msn
we've been talking ever since
september 2008, maybe.
then he got posted to my church as an intern
in the summer - mmhmm summer - of jan'09
(an internship i will never forget)
and started sitting in in all our youth meetings
serendipitous (:
he saw more of me
and i saw more of him
we started texting
time passed
and we were still talking almost everyday
(and telling each other about the guys/girls we liked hah)
(not to mention the encouragement to go to sweden for exchange. oh the regret)
september 2009
our first fight - as friends
ymlc
(still feel really bad about this one)
our perspectives changed
and it began
october 2009
he asked me out on study dates
(to which she actually turned me down! =()
and finally, on a dinner date (:
(to which she actually said yes to =))
hours long phone calls late into the night
more dates & surprises - literally - followed (:
he said 'I love you'
and i did too
"it's a sweet, sweet thing
standing here with you and nothing to hide"
we waited (because she rejected me again =P)- it was so tough - 'til it was right
"the more you love God, the more you'll learn to love others"
and a letter from a beloved mentor:
"for if the willingness [to obey] is there,
the gift is acceptable according to what one has,

(a month of study dates and many fond memories at fusionopolis trying to act discreet in front of others)
on that fateful day
you held my hand in yours - cheeky!
