YTH

He's my guardian angel. Destined to meet him at the age of 20 when I graduated from Stamford Ladies College. We met at a disco in Crown Princess Hotel with our own group of friends. We were briefly introduced and that night, I didnt have any impression on him. It was until my friend, GH informed that he had a crush on me and had asked her for my contact number. He called and we chatted and eventually were friends.

I was very reserved and shy. When we first dated, I remember I brought my brother along and we went to the National Zoo. I also brought my sister when we went out for drinks. It was a gradual thing that eventually I was comfortable with him. At that time, Goh BK was after me too but nah, he was just too tall for me.

TH was reserve and humble. I liked his effort in getting me a stalk of rose each time we went out for a date. He always hid it in the car, behind the mirror flap. Not too long thereafter, he got me a Alain Delon watch for my birthday and that was his first present to me. It was quite expensive and I was then reluctant to take but he insisted. Then I knew he was serious and since I liked him too, I accepted it.

I remember at one time, I lost my precious diamond pendant mom gave me for my 21st birthday, I was really upset. He called and he consoled me and offered me his gold chain that his mom gave him to replace mine. Though he didnt understand the sentimental value of the pendant, it was very sweet of him:)

He's a Hokkien from a Chinese school and I am a Cantonese from a Malay school. We had vast differences. I didnt like his friends and neither did he join mine. But then, we were so in love and engrossed in the courtship process that nothing else mattered. He traveled from Selayang to Cheras after office hours in the jam to take me out for date in town and sent me home before he headed home. It was extremely tedious and I was so unkind that at times, I blamed him for being late. Luckily he had good tolerance.

We dated for 6 years and in 1995, we decided to walk the aisle. What prompted the proposal was when we were out with a group of friends at Bettlenut Bar back then, we bumped into Lee SK, Khor and friends and they jokingly asked him if we have any plan to tie the knot. He told them that it will be very soon. I was taken aback by his answer and then, I figured out that he was afraid of losing me to them because during college times, we went to trips together and had mutual likings before. A week later, he proposed:) But we broke up for precisely 10 days prior to our marriage. I refused to move into his parents house. I was terrified by the thought of having to stay with his rather huge family under the same roof. We couldnt compromise. At that time, Wilson took his chances. I went out with him and he showed me a condo unit in Bangsar that belongs to his dad, hehehe! Nah, there wasnt room in my heart then. Well, I got my own home now with lots of privacy and maintain a good relationship with my parents in law. GOD is so kind.

TH is kind of timid in nature but glad he will still overcome his fears to help me out each time. His only drawback is that he is so unromantic and can be very insensitive. Other than that, he's my man, no regrets!
