Exactly 1 year ago on this very same day, you knelt on one knee and asked me the big question.

With a ring, a hand written card and a huge bouquet of flowers coupled with some tears, the deal was sealed.

Looking back (way back), it was about 12 years ago when we first met in college. To be exact, on the basketball court itself! For those who knew us only in the recent few years, Des and I have been dating for almost 12 years. Yup thats 144 months, 624 weeks, 4,380 days...and counting! One could have raised a kid from birth to PSLE exams in our dating years!

Of cos the 12 years were not without any tears, pain and hurt. Life is never a bed of roses.. Those happily-ever-after taglines would only exist in movies and fairytales no?

But amongst the tears, there was laughter.

Amongst the pain, there was joy.

Amongst the hurt, there was healing.

We learned to love each other as individuals, as partners and as friends.

Thank you for asking me to be your partner to live with, your lover to cuddle with, your friend to laugh with and your companion to walk the rest of this journey with...
