775 days, a series of big days, and a honeymoon later.

775 days since my last post.
 People. It has been long. Surely not that long?! but yes it has been that long. 888 days. Seated here at MacDonald's - Woodlands Civic Centre on a Sunday morning while Cel's serving our God with her voice of song.

                         ++++---------()

 Too many things has changed. Lots to catch up on here. So let's start.

             -+ I got married to an amazing woman. ______-@

    Yes for real. I'm a married man now.
Lots of tags that come along with that I guess, now a chore handler, a more attractive guy (to some), unavailable, off the market for good, part of a trilogy, and many more that I'm only starting of comprehend. It feels amazing. The day I proposed - the day God decided to let the fate of the of many on-board still-missing flight MH370 start a lingering mystery. March 8th 2014.

That was my 499th day since Cel kissed me on my lips leaving me stunt like vegetable.
                 ------ ;--+ ==-            -===+~~^^*
her tears flowed that night later. her realization of what has happened. we got engaged. (or maybe how terrible my attempt to serenade her with my crooning with the ukulele was)


Then the journey of prepping for the big day. Or series of big days I shall say. First the registry of marriage (ROM in local SG talk) on the May 20th 2015. Then why a separate day? Because of our Canadian PR story. details for another post. But yes first the ROM, then the Marriage Blessing on the 17th October 2015. A beautiful warm sunny Sunday. friends and colleagues from all over came. ABB friends form a big part of the lot. Blessed by Pastor Ivan. We were truly blessed. The message meant for us.

24th Oct 2015 - smiling, running on adrenaline mid-way through the our wedding! 

Vowing before God. Chapel of Christ the Redeemer. 17th Oct 2015

a luncheon.
beautiful. she looked like princess from my dreams. tears of joy. tears of thanks. all flowed and of course lots of my perspiration too.

Us and our guests, Straits Room, Fullerton Hotel, Singapore

72 hours later after the above moment. we landed in SFO airport. and our honeymoon adventure began. we saw so much. Yosemite's half-dome, the deer, the people who lived with space. the space the land. the skies, drove through deserts, dust swarms, be a consumerist, cooked in a wood cottage. Got lost, drove offroad, got stuck, met fussy airbnb hosts, soak in renaissance culture, watch the bees and the hummingbirds, picnic at the beach, cover 500km in a single epic drive. unforgettable.

72 hours from fullerton. 

I need to stay cold to stay fresh.

Jazz + steak + wine. Perfection. Outskits, San Francisco.
