Something Unexpected
She came into my life, in an unexpected fashion.
If anyone had told me a few months ago that I'd be spending time with her on a regular basis - I would say that the person was dreaming. There's no possible way that I could imagine that this girl will be spending time, to get to know me, romantically.
And now, it feels like I'm dreaming. And the dream has still not ended.
There's been quite a few dates between us. And the comfort level keeps getting deeper and deeper. She's got a keen and mature sensibility, exceeding her age.
It's as if I've known her for a lifetime. I feel totally at ease, totally myself. I've been honest to hear about my past, my deepest dreams, hopes, fears and insecurities and it doesn't seem like she's heading for the door yet.
And I've even been honest about my attraction to her. And she has pretty much indicated that she felt the same. And I guess we're both curious to see where this would lead to.
You were something unexpected in my life, S.
You're like a breath of fresh air - sincere, loving, magnetic, confident, open and honest. You walk the talk, you're clear about who you are and what you want. You make me feel special and wanted.
And more importantly, there are no 3rd parties involved - it's been a while since I entertained the thought that a woman I have feelings for would want to be mine, and mine alone.
But here I am - happy in the current day and enjoying the moment. And excited about future possibilities.
Thank God for the surprises in life. :)

Waduh! Is she cun or not?
Does your questionnaire on dliemma have any relation to this?
Freak & Geek:
Thanks! :)
Ms O:
Yes, am enjoying the moment. And praying for no hiccups, too.
And in your words - "Woo-hoo!!" ;)
Dame Rosse:
Food - Devi's Corner treat coming up.
Love story - there's too few pages still, to tell. But can do over teh tarik.
Cloud Nine - Not yet. I'm cautiously happy, this time. Let's call it Cloud Seven. :)
People in love: Not yet,...but it's definitely,...something good. :)
Nicer: Happier people are generally nicer, right? :)
Babu:
Yes, she's cun. :)
(And beyond skin deep too, before others start saying that I'm shallow)
No comment on the dilemma question. I'm practising my "elegant silence". ;)
A hopless romantic you are, Stingray.....
All the best. Go get her!
Keropok:
True on both counts! I'm a romantic. And I'm hopeless! :)
Coolness. :-)
Good for u, bro... :)
ZR
Ray, bro, No fair. I think a few people, myself included, provided a fairly detailed answer to your dilemma questionnaire. And you maintain an 'elegant silence'?
clouds. i like.
happy people. i like.
stingray happy and nice(r). i like.
your treat. Yippee!!!
BONUS!
gua caya sama lu, bruder!
hmm...something's in the air..ramainya bloggers tengah angau sekarang ni..is it mating season yet?
Doesn't sound like a very "average" situation to me. ;)
may all things cliche about love happen to you, my dear, and hope you still got time to entertain me after you get married...though I doubt I'll be bugging you that much after this year :)
I'm excited too...but over diff things lah.
XX
Voice:
Yes. You've had yout turn, dear - my turn la pulak. ;)
ZR:
The feeling is mutual, bro'.:)
Oiii, bila nak have lunch ni, Mr Busy Consultant? ;)
Babu:
No offence meant to anyone by the brief answer, bro'.
But there's a right time and place for everything under the sun. Until then, the "elegant silence" stance will have to remain. :)
How was your rock and roll session in Jakarta? Any good? ;)
Clarissa:
Oiii, don't jump the gun and jinx the cat! Am not getting married-lah,......yet.
And I always make quality time for friends - my closest friends will tell you that. :)
(Although quantity may be missing once in a while, when I'm busy with work and life)
Bug me anytime you want, dear. That's what friends are for.
Tell me what you're excited over, in our next coffee session. :)
Dame Rosse:
When you come back, the teh tarik belanja is definitely on, dear. :)
If we cannot build a physical half-bridge to the Lion City, we might as well build a full bridge of friendship, right? ;)
Raksaksabiskut:
Yes, it seems to be the season, doesn't it? Not quite sure what it is, but I'm not complaining. :)
Woo hoo! Alhamdulillah! :)
Saya amat gembira untuk awak! :)
I shall also maintain an "elegant silence". Don't want to talk too much and then tak jadi.
However, she's not one of the quality girls like you go out with. Kamu lucky lah. You are a lady killer like Z. Married women, girls with boyfirends, sweet and single - he can tackle and all are hooked.
"Elegant silence", "slow", "everything will be answered in good time" - is it a sign of the times in Malaysia? No more Malaysia Boleh?
ray dear :-)
about time.. enjoy the journey.. :-P wherever it takes you ...
Of course, let me congratulate you and wish you all the best in this new relationship. Insyaallah berjaya.
Please post more progress reports (heheheh).
Pixie:
Thanks!
Babu:
Yo lost me there, bro'. And who in the name of heavens is Z?
And please don't call me a lady killer, bro'. I don't think that's fair comment and forgive me, but I don't like the connotation.
I hate it as much as I abhor the word "player". And I've been unfairly branded as that too, in the past.
Honestly, there are a few ladies that have almost killed me, emotionally. And I don't give them mean names.
On "elegant silence", not sure if it's a sign of the times - and I don't wish to comment on the current political turmoil.
There's enough of it said in the papers and on the Internet. Menang jadi arang, kalah jadi abu - untuk orang Melayu.
Malaysia masih boleh, but only if the nation is willing to buy a mirror, for self-reflection.
As for me, I'm just trying to begin a new life. And taking it one day at a time. (Progress reports must come slower than progress, of course)
But thanks for your wish. :) InsyaAllah, things will work, this time.
Zue:
Thanks, dear. Will do so. :)
You of all people, I think, understand the significance of the current journey. You've always told me that I deserve better.
And I thank you for your constant support. You're a true friend, Zue. :)
Don't you get tired of yourself? Always the same old story - I meet a girl, wow, she's great, I can't believe it... Haha!
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm so happy for you!
Luckily you didn't get hold of the 2 Indon girls yet, otherwise sure tak jadi...
I know it's way too early, but if there's a wedding in the offing, can I be the planner? Please...
Stale mate:
It's a bit like Thomas Edison failing with the light bulb - I've got to try a lot harder, to just make one success.
It comes easily to some other people and they're lucky in that way.
Those not so blessed, will either have to try harder or resign themselves to their lot in life, much earlier.
In my life, I choose the former.
And I'm just thankful that I can still feel the blessings of ups and downs of all emotions, both good and bad.
Without hardening inside, without becoming cynical at people, life or the world.
Some people go through life without feeling and they think they're being mature about it. No highs, no lows, just pure logic and calculativeness.
To each his own, I guess.
Dian:
Considering that I don't have a Mum anymore, a voluntary wedding planner would be great.
Thank you, little sister, for that offer. And yes, if the time comes, you will definitely be roped in to play a major role.
(Now, don't you regret volunteering? ;))
Alamak. Don't get angry.
In answer to your question, Z is another Malaysian. He is my guru and partner in crime.
I admit that it's totally inappropriate to compare you with Z. The only similarity is juggling multiple women at the same time (heheheh).
However, you are looking for love and happiness for both yourself and your partner and that is noble. I wish you well bro'.
I hope you won't judge us - different strokes, bro'. Anyway, compared to some other guys I know (Malaysian mind you, not bule), I think we are 'angels'.
Babu:
Am not angry. No worries.
As for your assumption on "juggling" and comparison with your friend, Z - you're entitled to your opinion, bro'.
But I've never made a commitment to 2 women, at the same time.
I may have made a lot of other previous mistakes in my life - but that part has never happened.
But if having many female friends and being seen going to lunch/dinner/coffee with them is a crime - then shoot me, because I'd be guilty.
But it doesn't matter - am now in a committed relationship with someone and I'm moving on with my future - regardless of people's assumptions on my past.
But thanks for your wishes, Babu.
Hey Bro,
Good for you! He he he *wink*
Ervan:
Alhamdulillah, so far, bro'. Rezeki itu ada pada mereka yang berusaha mencari. :)
