ladies & gentlemen, i m getting married.

after being together for nearly 5 years, lulu and i are getting married.

its a decision reached at lightning speed, think it didnt take more than 30mins for both our parents to agree on our marriage. i am personally happy that things turned out the way it is, although i would have liked to kneel down in the traditional way and propose to my angel holding a ring with both my hands.

on 10th of September 06 noon, i accompanied my parents to lulu's. it was to be the first for both families, yet this first meeting proved to be a historic one with both parents speaking in a "similar channel". i could remember how my dad threw me this look, signaling his cue to break the ice on "the topic". i then proceed to tell lulu's dad about my plans for our future, meaning i wanted more time--to settle down and find a job, which to everyone's surprise, his dad objected.

he said, "one can never actually settle down, for we all live with uncertainty one way or another," but his following words that really struck my heart, "if you are serious about creating a future with my daughter, go ahead and ask for her hand... and i shall give you both my hearty blessing!!" thus, our marriage was decided, lulu and i were left basking in the euphoria of the whole turn out of events.

we have tentatively decide to hold a ceremony next fall, after graduation. until then, we have lots to do, & boy i cant wait to face the hurdles....

my newly acquired toy!!





brand new macbook, just got it yesterday, & can't take my hands off it ever since. really a charm to use this mac os... very human friendly, better effiency function for function compared to XP but there's still quite a bit of incompatibility issues. all in all, i think its still a perfect machine merging both function and style. just the way i like it... whats more, i even have a desktop version too :-]
