"Open up and say AAaaaAhhHhh!!!~!~"

Twenty nine years ago, a baby boy was born in Klang. When he was just a towheaded rascal, a baby girl was born in the other side of Singapore. When he was a smartass troublemaker with a crooked smile, she was pretty and looked like an angel. When he was working his ass out to earn more bucks, she was fretting over what to wear with her new clothes. Their lives took them down different roads, but roads that would lead them to each other some time later.

The woman who made me laugh and made me smile. The day I finally accepted that love is forever etched into my mind and my heart, and I'm so thankful for the amazing ways she's changed my life for the better. She has shown me the meaning of unconditional love, has helped me discover my own strengths and accept my own weaknesses, and she's taught me so much about communication and openness and trust and devotion and support and romance and the pure value of love.

I want to take the opportunity to say a very public thank you to her, for loving me the way I am and the way I'm not, and for showing me that I don't have to give up on happily ever after.

I love you sweetie and I hope you have a happy birthday. I look forward to spending the rest of your birthdays, and mine, by your side.
