1 Year

I came back from Japan this Friday night, and have been a little lazy at bloggin :)
But today is a very important day and I wouldn't miss blogging on it.
Today, one year ago, I asked Hui Ming to be my girlfriend. I will never forget what happen although it may have change a little (tell me what is different with this version of mine ok dear?)

One year ago, in a little town called Tampin...

"Proposal Wars"

(cue Star wars opening theme)

The scheming Sheen had devised a perfect plan, that was on how to get the girl of his dreams, Hui Ming to be his first girlfriend. His whole family had gone on a trip to UK and his housekeeper would only go to his house if he asked for her. Nobody would occupy his house.

Now if only he could manage to "tipu" her back... then all his plans will go as planned...

Alright, enough with the stupid Star Wars intro. Well, the thing is, my family was out of town and the whole house would be empty. Hui Ming then was just a friend, not yet my girlfriend. So, I don't know why, I suddenly had the urge to ask her to come home with me. I told her I would bring her around Tampin, to each of my friends homes. We were in Matriks at that time, and most of the friends she was close with at that time was the T3 gang ("Tampin Ten Tigers"... cos nine of my friends and me were sent to the same Matrik college, and we sticked close together, therefore, given the cool sounding nickname:"Dan Bian Shi Hu" ^_^).

I had been flirting with Hui Ming the past few weeks then. Our relationship was ok I guess, I never knew she would agree to start a serious relationship with me. I remember telling her when I didn't get the JPA scholarship that I was a little glad, cos that meant that I could spend more time with her. That was just a few days after I got to know her. But that's a different story and I will post about it some day.

Surprisingly, Hui Ming agreed to go back with me to Tampin. At first, my friends suggested her to stay with another friend of mine (a girl, so that she will be safe from the monster that is me...), but in the end, she came to my house to stay after my request (thank you all my friends, who help make this happen!).

I was estactic, and a little anxious at that time. Hey, this IS the first time I am spending a night with a girl I am interested in!

The scene was set. We sat at the couch watching "Kill Bill Vol 1" (not a romantic movie, but Hui Ming wanted to watch it, and I loved that movie too). She lied down on the couch, while I sat at the end where her feet were at. We chatted. I couldn't pay much attention to Uma Thurman slashing the crazy 88.

I don't know what came into me. I crept to the floor, next to her face, and whispered to her, "Would you be my girlfriend?"

She hesitated. And gave her answer.

I will never forget what her answer is. My question was answered by another question.

"Ni bu ke yi pian wo de o?" ("You mustn't lie to me?")

"Yes"

And I believe, I have not told her a lie yet.

That's how I asked Hui Ming to be my girlfriend. I couldn't be at her side to celebrate our first anniversary. But I did my best, by sending her a self-made card.
Dear, we have been through anger, jealousy, control, sorrow, happiness, hopefulness, friendship and forgiveness. Thank God we are still together today, safe and sound. Thank you for all you have sacrifice in this year we've been together. I know I may not have been sensitive and may always have hurt you in some way, but I really wish we will make this relationship a successful one. I love you and will always find a way to open my heart and sayang you. I just hope you won't get too manja ;P

P/s: I will post about my Japan trip in my next post. Guys, prepare for some SYT pics!
