Our canvas to paint

From the moments of our rambling around and our visibly pointless roamings, i have grown to sayang you past the norms of sayang. The days under the stars, the days of rushing you home to mommy as to avoid persecution, and possibly execution (you're mum is highly capable of bludgeoning me to death with a broom and all assortments of household and kitchen appliances), the days of stealing moments just to confront what emotions plague our hearts and livers and kidneys and spleens...

These days i shall hold close inside me. These days, i entrust to you to hold dearly, not as a symbol of ownership, but as a symbol that we, each other, have change each other immensely. Voluntarily. For the betterment of ourselves. Should one day, a man decieves you in your travels, should one day, all you want, goes wrong, just look back on these days and feel the comfort that someone just like you, albeit being darker and taller, with thicker hair, but just as hairy as you, is smiling at the same thoughts as you.

Light a candle in you window should these days arise, which i pray shall never arise for you. It's been 2 months plus and this fastening bond we hold grows not weaker, but stronger than carbon fibre. You know carbon fibre. It's that weird thing on cars that is light but strong, like steel but made from hairs, of what, i have not a friggin clue. Poor creature, which is left hairless, whatever creature it may be... forgive me.. i digressed.

These two months have thought me:

1. Sushi tastes better in Isetan if u eat it with Ming
2. 5 minutes is better than nothing
3. Merajuk can be so addictive.
4. Being a spoiled brat is fun.
5. Blek.
6. Contracts must be drawn and titles must be established.
7. Should contracts be void, we turn to hairy monkeys. It's the law of physics.
8. Love can make you FAT.
9. Love can make you go to the gym after that.
10.Booking hotels is not that hard.
11. Holding food in the air is an acquired taste.
12. Dunhill Menthol Lights taste like toothpaste.
13. Mothers can kill with broomsticks and fathers can call bosses.
14. Car door locks can spoil 15 times in the course of 2 months.
15. Harris is funny.
16. You are funny.
17. All manner of goods can be made into earings.
18. Hugging is better than sex... really... seriously... i get so steamy.
19. Women fart too.
20. Love is simple.
21. If you feel an irresistable urge to fight, to rant and to disagree, fight about pizza.
22. Indie pop is cool, but the guys sound like the wear really tight underwear.
23. Patience is easy.
24. Physical scars don't last that long.
25. Cititel is not like Genting after all.
26. Spacing-out is OK.
27. Looking like an idiot while you space-out is NOT OK.
28. Looking like an idiot while you space-out and drooling at the same is OK because it just proves that you really are an idiot.
29. When they squirt, clear the way, unless you want to DIE tsunami style.
30. When you love, love with all your heart. Noone's gonna blame you.
31. When you cry, hide it.
32. When you hide it, tell them later so they feel bad.
33. Ming walks funny. I know why.
34. Say "WHY" with passion. It'll get you answers quicker and will make you feel better.
35. Learned the proper manner in which to use the word "resilience" (ben rolls eyes)
36. Never let go.
37. Kisses are expensive.
38. Dreams are weird but a good topic for conversation.
39. I know how to love.
40. I know how it feels to be loved in return. It feels so good. How can anyone ever give it up?
41. I know that my heart is not made of stone.
42. I know that i have found my center. My center is your belly button.
43. My laptop is better than yours.
44. Using chopsticks properly is very "Ah-Beng". If you can use it properly, pretend you can't.
45. Doing the "Gorilla" can really make you laugh. For no apparent reason. Do i really look like a gorilla when i do it? really? WHY?
46. God can be my provider.
47. 7eleven can provide my groceries though.
48. But in the end, GOD provides my salary. Through the finance department, of course.
49. Teenage movies still suck, no matter which era it is in.
50. I love you.


Ming. I love you. I truly do. All that talk about doing up our own house, about what we'll do after work, about the segregation of our chores, about bringing up our kids, have made me see a future that is too good to be true in your eyes. Your devastatingly sepet eyes. Slits, more like it.

You have shown me a life that is to die for. Though it comes true or not, i have no regrets whatsoever. There will be more of these to come ma'am.
I shall love you till the end of time and no tide, no earthquake, no despot and no death of a million lemmings will change that. Though the seas rise and fall, though the mountains shift, Ben will always be Ming's.
