The Zahir

♥Sunday, August 12, 2007

I was talking to a friend yesterday (you know who you are :) ), and she asked me, how did I manage to keep a relationship this long...

And I took a walk down memory lane..

Before we were together... 26 November 2004. Impressive how time flies isn't it?

And our very first picture together after officially being each other's. Our second attempt to catch the sunrise, at East Coast.

Our first Christmas together as a couple!

And the Snow City trip just before you boat off to Tekong, and not see me for 2 weeks.. the horrible 2 weeks.

And so, I got you stacks and stacks of letters to open each day in camp, which you didn't bring in. :(

And the first picture with my mr botak!

Remember the weekends where I'd sulk because we had so little time together? And you got me a little surprise... just a barsoap, but it was such a sweet surprise..

And remember the time my slipper broke halfway through our excursion around NUS? Look at how smart you were to fix them for me!

And that whole week you had after BMT was for me. :) The first time you came over to my house, you made me pasta. Bacon pasta. :)

The first time we drank at a club together! REMEMBER REMEMBER?!?! I didn't even like it then.. and you had to finish it for me. :)

The very treasured weekends I had with you...

And our first clubbing experience! At the club that's gone now.. haha.

The family started with just FPJ and Garfat!

Ooh and this sweet mms you sent me, which left me grinning eye to eye for days.

We even conquered the Big Walk together! And do you remember piggy-backing me through so much of the journey? And even carrying my bag for me throughout it all...

The massage you'd always give my fingers everytime I fall asleep on you.. or when I had a rough day.

Your favourite! And was up on your wallpaper for so long... Did you know baby, that made me really happy?

How we'd sketch our little happy tree together.. with all the others. :)

Our first puzzle together!

And our second Christmas together... remember what we did at the corridor? ;)

So we grew together... and even became good cooks together. :)

You'll always impress me musically, really.

We even caught musicals together.

Cabaret first, then it was Phantom of the Opera.

We went pass your 19th...

Then your 20th..

We even travelled together...

Your arms've always somehow been where I feel truly safe at.

You'd always take pictures with me, no matter how unwilling you are, you'd give in to my requests.

When we finally got our very own rings...

I like the stupid poses you'd do when my camera starts. :) And this day, you came over after work by public transport, just to get me two pieces of bread because I always get hungry at night while studying.

How you'd still make it a point to see me when you're sick... and end up sleeping in my bed.

Always there to solve my technical problems...

Watch me study..

Take silly pictures with me...

Webcamming together had always been so cute...

You'd even keep me company all the way till my friends arrive and send me off to party the night away.

I like how you look and sound when you're sleepy and losing concentration...

And, 3 of my birthdays together, as a couple.

My 18th..

19th..

20th.

You've made them all special.

2 years, 8 months. What a feat.

I don't know what to say... it's been such a wonderful experience..

You've always been so gracious, and caring.

And there's nothing much I can ask for (well, maybe apart from STOP ASKING ME TO LIKE POOH!!!!! :P)

You know you're special sweetie.

Sealed with millions of kisses,

Your baby boo.
