How we met - Part 2

Here's the second part of the story, continued from Part 1

After the "first date", nothing special happen. Barely 3days into my internship, I had to apply for leave. My grandma past away died of heart attack while getting up in the middle of the night. Everything seems so sudden, previously there was no sign of sickness or anything. I don't even know how to react. My sis woke us up as usual to get ready for work but that particular day, with extra message. "Wake up" and with half open eye, I went like " Huh, ok!" *sleep back. Then she continued *Grandma died". I immediately spring up on my butt and asked "What!!" Apparently mum who was staying in another state called her to inform us the news. Dad who was in another different state from us and mum, gave mum a call to convey the message. Poor mum, she didn't want to wake us up in the middle of the night with that news, so she sat there crying till morning. She still commanded us to go to work for half day to settle whatever issue left in the office since grandpa was to transport back to somewhere here. Could you imagine having this news early in the morning and still have to go to work? While bathing, I kept telling myself " Grandma died. Grandma died......" I wasn't sure how many times it repeated in my head till tears rolled down my cheek. Went to work and sit there like a stone for the whole morn. I have to informed my boss and HR but everytime I started to open my mouth, my tears just come uninvited. Hubs on the other hand, got the news from my boss and wanted to console me but just as he open his mouth, I couldn't control my emotion, and so my pearly drop came out again. Sigh....guess he must have felt so guilty to make me cry. *Hubs, it's not your fault,k!*

While I'm mourning in the funeral, he did send a sms to me with the message, "Friend, don't be too upset." or something similar. With this kinda sms, do you think I would have realized he has a tiny winy bit of feeling towards me? Pardon me for being naive, but I really don't think of anything else. I forgot to share another thing. Hubs is popular with the ladies in his department. So for him to take me out the other day, it must be just a normal outing. Who would have guess we come till this far? So everything is done and I'm back to work. He still continued on with his life and I, with mine. There are a few guys I somehow sensed their interest in me but nothing much happen. I did went out with the tall guy in his gang a few times (now you should know, one down two to go). I won't mention him much over here. He's the caused that keep hubs away from me for awhile. Hubs thought I'm the play type, so he just gave up. Lucky for me, he likes me too much to give up. After he knew that we didn't go out anymore, then only he made his move.

The "2nd date" was suppose to go for a drink but I was more interested in his dance. So he brought me to his sis house and showed me a few songs. I could say I was impressed. But hey, I was petrified. His sis house? Who would have bring a girl back to his house, never mind it's his sis one. Still alone with him in the house, a bit nervous although I know he'll do me no harm since he still have to work in the same office. He wanted to see mine but Nah! I'm the shy type. He'll never have a chance. Sorry hubs, you'll only see me dancing in pub.

There was another date at a restaurant by the beach side. It was a lovely place but that night, there's no wind or breeze. So we ended up leaving early cause of the hot weather and partly.....the mozzie. I got to know a lil bout his life and share some of my tales. Now coming to the interesting part, finally he confessed. Where? When?How?

On a weekend, he told me he did an amazing thing. Then he went on to say how he just stayed at home watching DVD and didn't go out to find his friend. I was like "What!" You called that amazing? I did that for uncountable time. So am I super amazing or what? But of course I did not tell that straight to his face. Previously I told him I like scary movie and have yet to watch the famous thai scary movie SHUTTER. He said he had that and asked if I'm interested to watch in his sis house. Naive me again, I said OK. And so there I was, watching that scary movie but laughing most of the time.He must have think I'm weird. What he didn't know was that was to cover up my faint heart...hehe...We chatted more on that evening, on relationship he and I had previously. And how I imagine my prince to be.....he just sat there listening. I was the listener most of the time, but this time he got me to talk so much. I lied down on his lap comfortably while he stroked my hair. The feeling was great. I guess by that time, I must have a tiny winny feeling on him to be so comfortable. He just looked at me while I'm sleeping, as if waiting for his princess to wake up...so romantic. When it's about time to go home, I started to stand up but he pull me back, saying there's something to say to me. With that, he told me " I'm interested in you". I must admit I was a lil confuse at that moment. First of all, it was because the way he describe the detail he want in his gf.....totally don't match my character. Was it because of that I was more relaxed cause I knew he'll not have interest in me? Secondly, he's not the guy I detailed to be my bf. Did he screw that part up? Thirdly, how can he be interested in me when we don't even know each other that well? Fourthly, I didn't plan to start a relationship HERE cause I'll be going back to my university in ANOTHER STATE? Will I be able to cope with long distance relationship? GOSH!!! So many questions at one go.....was I a lil confuse? It's more to a whole lot of confusion. I didn't give him an answer to his question.

I thought for such a long time, if I want to begin this new relationship. I've been out of a relationship for almost 2 years since the last one. What if I got hurt again? Am I willing to share my life with this new man I just got to know 2 months ago? But then, am I comfortable to be with him? I hate to say this but I'm comfortable in his arm, with the feeling of being protected while I was sleeping. And I LOVE this feeling. All being said, I decided to give him, give us a try. Heck! I don't even know if it could last till I go back to study. I just know I'm happy now and I don't want to care for anything else.

From there, we begin our story. But wait!! That's not all. This is just the beginning. For that, you'll have to wait for Part 3 to come.

How we met - Part 1

They said the beginning of a relationship is the sweetest moment of all. I couldn't agree more with it. When a guy start to court, he'll be extremely gentleman, romantic and a mister yes-dear-to-all (if there's such a word) that a girl will dream of marrying. After securing the girl under his wing, he'll tend to have slightly more temper, a lil bit more ........wooohoo! wait a minute, I was to blog about how me n hubs start, not this. Pardon me for that.

Let me recall. I was attending a internship program for 3 months in a MNC when I met him there. First day start of with me being the only newbie, totally stranger to the whole environment. There I met a bunch of colleagues who were kind enough to invite me to lunch with them in cafeteria. Lucky for me, there was another girl who was doing internship too but she came in earlier than me. We make friend quickly but I can't say that we were that friendly to each other yet. Never mind her. Apart from the intern, there was a girl and another 3 guys there. What can I say about them? The girl was a blur one while the guys, a tall one, a slightly on the plump side one and and average one. Guess which is my hubs. No, I'm not telling you now. You'll have to continue to find out.

Somehow, before I even step my foot into the MNC building, they were well informed of the details in my CV. Gosh! How can HR disclose such a private information to all? It really makes me wonder. So they know I'm a one of the Director in my dance club in University. But what they didn't know was it was due to the amount of committed people in the club and how our students tend to shy away from post in whatever club or society. I have to say I wasn't so proud of that title but I just love to dance. Dance for fun, dance for fitness and even dance to release stress. If you have not been dancing or is doubtful whether you should take up dancing, I'll probably tell you to give it a try. It's so much fun that I promise you won't skip the lessons even if you are force too. There is an equation I learn from a Dr.

Sweat + Happy = Dance

I just couldn't stay focus. There's to many side story coming up but back to this story. Hubs was a dancer himself. Not only that, he did have his own dance studio he shared with his friends ( that was 2years ago). An instructor and a choreographer. Interesting!! I was so excited bout it cause I never dream of meeting someone who has this passion even after working. So there he was, along with his clan teased me bout my title. Imagine being a newbie and got teased....I don't know where to hide my head. But then he suggested a good thing to me. A Japanese instructor is giving a performance in another studio and he asked if I was interested. Well, of course I jumped at the opportunity. What else do I have to wait? The worst part, I have to ask permission from my "guardian" at that time. *faint* Anyway, I got my way and there I was in the studio watching "performance" which happen to be a trial class. Did he know the difference??? I guess not.. But then who cares? I got to see the other side of him that day. He was not in his usual t-shirt n jean with the comb-down hair. He look so nerd with that hair cut but his excuse, " People will think of him as a good employee, not the yea! looking guy". For that outing, he wore a torn at knee jeans, a sleeves shirt and a cap. Totally awesome. Too bad, he still didn't get my attention, all was on the japanese instructor. The dance steps are cooler than him ;p

That was the first unaware "date". No dinner, no drink, NOTHING....just enjoying the idea of having the same interest. But that night, his interest was on me while mine, on the dance step...hehe...I'm just as innocent as can be.

I found this website TheStory , a romantic story of how they get together. I love the part he proposed to her. Spare a lil time and read bout them. Have fun!

22/05/2007: Here's another one I found quite interesting. The guy really put a lot of effort in this proposal. But on the other hand, this is one not to follow
