Finally this day is arriving. Tomorrow will be the day I'll ROM and legally bounded by marriage. So much mixed feelings and questions running thru my head. What should I call Cha's parents? Dad, Mum? Papa, Mama? Father, Mother? So embarassing, how am I going to call them my parents for the first time?? I hardly even call my parents back at home. HOWWWWW??? Then hor, I kept thinking, will I be subject to the same strictness from Cha's dad? His dad is so much stricter than mine, will I be used to it? Then I dunno if I can be a good wife or not, it sounds so remote to me just a few years ago. Till now I have none of the attributes of a good wife..ha ha.. Chaa's going to be in for a hard time lor...And my surname!! Is it going to change to Mrs Cheng? So wierd! But then I don't like people calling me Mdm Wong leh, sounds like the pub which has closed down... And then the anxiety of tomolo's event. So afraid that it will rain, cuz it will really ruin my day. Then also scared that the hotel staff dunno how to handle wet weather arrangements, becuz I understand that the restaurant has not hosted many ROM functions before. So much uncertainty and expectations. And finally my make-up and hairdo. What if it was messed up? I will cry one lor... But maybe I worry too much la, everything should turn out fine tomorrow...
Now a special tribute to Pinkies. They had really put in a lot of effort and money for the surprise Hen Party for me on last Sat. To me, it was a really glam way to end off my singlehood. Chaa was damn envious of me lo becuz no one organised a stag party for him..heehee..So proud to tell the rest that I had a happening Hen night, although I was not dead drunk as intended lar:P Why I said Pinkies had made special effort for this night. Becuz from past experiences, I know that it was not easy to get everyone together to organise such an effort-intensive event. I think it was the first time I've seen them so united together:) And they had done it really well. I was totally kept in the dark until I reached the hotel. When I saw what was inside the room, I was totally stunned. They had done up the place so prettily! I love the lingerie, flowers, decor and the certificate they gave me. Especially the cert, it 's my fav gift. Too bad my face is not inside there and it's the first time all pinkies used the same pen to sign off a card!! Really really happy for the effort they took. A bit apologetic that Mao had to use her birthday as a decoy. It was intended for her to celebrate her quarter of her century bday=P But it was indeed an unforgettable Pink Army event together. It had been ages since the full strength turned up!
Although a bit nervous abt tomolo's event, but with Chaa and so many good frens ard, I guess my ROM will be another memorable milestone of my life =D

Got a surprise from Chaa again. Actually I was really mad at him in the morning as of all days, he has to pick Valentine's Day to be late for breakfast. Although it was not his fault, but it was rather maddening la, haa... I had expected that he would buy flowers for me as per previous years and have them delivered to my office. But this yr he actually posed as a delivery boy himself to deliver a big pink bouquet of bears to my office. Unfortunately I was at a meeting for the whole morning, and as I refused to talk to him after the morning late episode, Chaaa also did not expect that I would not be at my desk in the morning. When the receptionist could not locate me, luckily there was my colleague Sean to help Chaa out and give him first hand notice when I'm back. Before that Chaaa was waiting at the Starbucks, reading all the newspapers available for nearly 2 hours until Sean called him up. It was really a pleasant surprise to see him with the bears at the recept counter. Although I was totally embarassed and kept ushering him out of my office, I was actually quite happy that he took the morning off to prepare this surprise for me, even though I was not around earlier to receive the flowers.
I'm now wondering where he will bring me out for dinner later le...:)

Today is our 28th Month Anniverary, 28 months together before Chaa and myself will tie the knot and commit ourselves to a lifetime marriage on the 27th this coming month. I'm very excited. This is the month where we will promise each other love, care and committment for the rest of our lives. Yesterday Pinkies were reminiscing the times when I had first met Chaaa. I still remember Moreen & a few others asked me at that time,"Do you see yourself marrying Danny in the future?" My answer was a straightforward, definite "No". I was pretty sure at that time that this relationship might not work out and was prepared to end it when the appropriate time comes. Then people started to ask," Then why do you get together in the first place?". Actually I'm not too sure myself. I think it's the sense of security he gave me, he seems like a very nice guy who can take really good care for me. And I do have mutual liking for him as a friend. I was really sick of being so independent esp when at that time, there was no one else who can give me as much care as Chaa did. Even my family can't be always there for me when I needed it. I guess it was this yearning for a dependable companion that made me want to give a try with Chaaa.
It wasn't easy to adapt to this relationship at first. I had been repeatedly asking myself: Did I made a right choice? Was he the right one, I don't want to regret if he's not... I even restricted him to meet up only once a week, (which was on every Sat), and complained that he was very mushy and made my hair stand when he said sweet things to me. Truth be told, I don't really care much for him at that time. But as we spend more time together, I gradually learned that he really do love me and care for me a lot. Most importantly, I know that he places great importance on me. I was really touched when he made handicrafts for me, 512 straw hearts, 1000 paper cranes, hologram and Precious Moments embroidery. He buys me flowers at every occasion possible and brings me to the best eating places on special occasions. These are things that I had always hoped that my future boyfriend will do for me, but yet in reality I know it's almost impossible to find someone lidat. To my amazement, Chaaa really did all these for me just to make me happy.
Chaa has always been there for me, whenever I need it. Everytime when I am unhappy or feel upset, he will practically shove everything aside just to accompany me or to talk to me. This made me more and more dependent on him and it really assures me that even if there is no one else who don't care for me, he will always be there at my side. He tries his every means and ability to fulfill any dream or regret I have. When I voiced out my regrets that I couldn't go overseas to study, he works hard to vie for the scholarship so that he can bring me along to US to study together. He knows the possible repercussions on his career if he didn't get it. And he really got it, despite the tremendous pressure during the process. Whether the uni admits him or not, I am already very happy that he had tried it for me. When I told him my dreams of travelling to Europe, he said we will give it a try this coming May, despite his depleting savings. When I said I want a unforgettable proposal, he did it for me. He had put in a lot of effort to make the proposal a memorable and unforgettable one. In fact it was one of the happiest night in my life. It is amazing how our relationship has evolved. Till now, he still loves and dotes on me a lot. It gives me a warm feeling whenever he says that he has spoiled me. Nothing has changed at all. From the first day we met, Cha has kept all his promises to me, and I really appreciate it.
Like any other relationship, nothing is perfect, we have our fair share of ups and downs. But our strong bonding overrides any unhappiness and our arguments became insignificant when I know that ultimately he still cares for me a lot. Through these 2 and a half years of relationship, as we understand each other more, I can safely say that I don't regret anything with Cha at all, from the day we were together to accepting his proposal. I am grateful to Jun for bringing my husband into my life, for letting me believe in love and becoming one of the happiest gal in the world.
Chaaa, I love you a lot a lot =)
