Today is Valentine's Day! Will blog more about how the day went after today :)

Last week, J and I celebrated our 2nd year anniversary. Only 2 years?! How come it feels like forever! Haha. I had to really count back to make sure it is only 2 years.

These 2 years have been amazing. I got to experience God's love, romantic and selfless love, and family love as well. I thank God for putting J in my life- the guy I always envisioned myself to be with. I really drew J in my mind before he appeared. God knew, and although I wasn't exactly obedient in waiting for His plan (and ended up with some rough knocks), He still delivered J to me in His time.

Our relationship has been wonderful. J has a very good temper, and I know he truly loves me. Some people are blessed to find the right one on their first shot. And I am happy for them (J is one of them). But I know God had a purpose for letting me go through a few wrong turns. I have always been a perfectionist. I remember telling my mom after my last relationship, that I won't settle down again, until I find the best. I always wanted to find the flawless man. And of course, nobody is flawless. Hence, my past relationships failed. But God used these experiences to show me, that true love is to accept the person for who he is, and fall in love with his strengths and weaknesses even. Basically, when you truly love someone, these flaws are something you work at together, instead of a reason to leave.

When I first knew J (before we got together), I already knew of some of J's imperfections. And one of the imperfections, was that J had pneumothorax. Wait, not once, but multiple times. Usually, that would have immediately turned me off, because that's a glaring imperfection. But somehow, God put love in my heart. I fell in love with this man, and have not looked back.

This day, I want to thank J for all your patience with me. Thank you for showing me what true and unconditional love is. Thank you for reminding me to love God. Thank you for being THE testimony of God's love for me. Though we have our flaws, thank you for showing me how we can overcome them with love. Thank you for being the unique you, the special one that I always dreamed of. I am excited to go through life's journey with you. I love you.

Here's how we celebrated our 2nd year anniversary- a good meal at The Royal Mail (Ascott). I loved the food, but loved the companion even more. To many more years ahead, till we meet in heaven again :)

Starters- Some wanton?

300g steak! yummy!

Accidentally ordered still water instead of tap! $7 each :X

My companion, My Valentine

Ended on a sweet note- Molten Lava Cake (It was some fancy name, but it really just is molten lava cake which I can make! :D)

Back to my valentine's day celebration (actually, just spending quality time together doing everyday stuff because that's what we love best. I am spending some me time blogging now, and he is doing some carpentry work. Gonna study together now! )

Happy Valentine's Day!
