Hi Belle！！　

It's been an incredible year since our first date. This is a memorable moment so I’ve chosen to record the event of this special day. How this romantic story unravelled was our first dinner with friends. Once upon a night, we met in Banana Leaf and had Malaysian dinner together with S+L. I remember my reaction when laying eyes on you- you are TALL and in RIPPED JEANS and BOOTS. I made a bow, which you have been teasing me since. We met over dinner, shared bubble tea, then we left on our separate ways. The real catalyst for our relationship was “Terrace House”; when we started discussing about details of the show.

For almost 2 weeks, we’ve been busy with our lives; no meetings or dates ensued. However, your warm + constant text messages warmed my heart and reminded me that you are only “one call away” (then we moved to whatsapp lol because I texted you too much).

We met for our first date almost a month after. The date night VIP movie at Marine Drive- John Wick 2. What a violent movie for our first date! Coincidentally, I watched John Wick 1 so John Wick 2 was no problem: D. The movie was much better than the first. After enjoying dinner at VIP Cineplex, we had dessert at DoReMi. Even at that moment, I wasn’t sure if we were in a relationship LOL I think it was a while after when you confirmed your feelings for moi.

Fast forward to a year after, we visited the same VIP Cineplex at Marine Drive. We saw Black Panther together. I know the movie received high ravings so… you must go see and judge for yourself! Our plan was to have dinner at Stem; unfortunately, the restaurant was fully booked. You said “sorry…” because you didn’t figure it’d be such a popular diner. Though a little disappointed, I did not mind too much. We headed to Victoria Sushi and arrived at 8:30pm, when they served us with lightning speed. Food actually came up fast, hot and fresh! (Note to self: visit before closing, lol). We had Red Dragon Roll, Salmon Oshi, Tobiko Oshi, Ebi Oshi and chicken karaage. I also had a Sapporo just because LOL.

Thank you for the 365 days of fun, adventure, ups+downs. There were moments that we have nothing to say to each other. There were times our views conflict with one another. There were days we chilled in silence contently, and times when we couldn’t shut up. There were life-threatening moments (ie. Jeju) that you were the only thing on my mind- have you healthy and sound.

I <3 making food for you because I enjoy seeing the happy smile on your face.

I <3 buying mandarin peels because that’s your fav. guilty (not really) pleasure.

I <3 how we support each other even when times are tough.

I <3 how you hold my hands when we walk.

I <3 how we are both lovers of good food.

I <3 how you always have me on your mind and always want the best for me.

I <3 how you come to pick me up out of the blue. It sounds simple but there is great effort behind even the smallest gesture.

The biggest one was my shiba brotherhood. From non-chalant to adoring them as much as I do. I love stuffed animals and you have grown to adore them, too.

We have very different taste in life and in our daily things. I am glad that we are approaching to a mutual level together and learning more about each other day-by-day.

We made it! & I cannot wait to visit the place (Japan) that tied us together...

認識一周年

當時見面的契機是經由朋友介紹，當天其實他有點遲到

進來以後大家就是寒喧握手，晚餐間大家聊天 

我都跟女生朋友聊得比較熱烈哈哈哈 

他就突然說 "你看過terrace house嗎?" 我就說沒有

他說 :你長得很像那個主持人! 

我說: 誰? 

他說 : ㄚㄚ我要找給你看!

((就是他! 居然說我跟他很像會不會太超過?? 爽爽的))

這個開啟我們的話夾子

之後格很久沒見面，但緣分很奇妙，或是人的毅力也很奇妙

他約了看電影我也說沒空因為當時要考試，我說一個月之後再說吧

他說好啊 

然後一個月後才是第二次見面

見面就看了一部超級暴力血腥的動作片 John Wick 2

我也佩服自己因為這個是我的口味XD 在電影院看動作驚悚片比較過癮呢!

之後去吃了DoReMi甜品，是港式甜點

我點了燒仙草，我還記的他不敢吃(外國人都不喜歡黑黑稠稠的)，但天氣好冷我要吃熱的我不管哈哈

他吃芒果冰，我光看就發抖@@ 那算是一個小約會

故事就慢慢發展~ 很慢很慢~

365天發生很多事，很多柴米油鹽醬醋茶，也很多生死關頭，也很多國內外的回憶

他認識我之前，沒去過大統華 (驚訝嗎)

他認識我之前，不知道中國菜可以在家做! 他本來沒有醬油沒有醋也沒有五香粉之類的東西在家裡

((都是我幫他添加的哈哈))

他認識我之後，學會醃肉

他認識我之後，學會做出很棒的煎餃

他認識我之後，國語有進步一點點((會唱花開月圓的主題曲喔!))

一周年當天慶祝發生的很混亂

看了一部普通的片子XD 但他很有心買了VIP的電影票

所以是開心的

晚餐沒有訂位所以差點吃不到

Victoria Sushi讓我們飆車過去，8:30到達，菜都上的飛快!

((之前去都要等一小時，這天去10分鐘就有壽司出現!))

雖然是一周年但我們過的也算平淡，沒有五星級餐廳或是夜景

沒有大手筆禮物，或是甜言蜜語

一種淡淡的 "阿~一年啦，還不錯嘛" 的感覺
