Damn that lovey dovey song.


I am not a romantic guy.


I don't do lovey dovey things. Really. But then my wife kind of introduced me to this song, "Semoga Abadi" by Misha Omar (Ok. That's it. You people giggling at the back, please leave!) And the words from the song are mirroring my love life.

The way I first met my wife 17 years ago (seriously) and how our lives intertwined without us ever meeting again until 2005. There were instances where we briefly passed each other at her home in Keramat and then again in the lobby of Wisma Sime Darby in KL. Somehow we are destined to be together.

I don't like reminiscing about the old days. Bad memories. But when I put the pieces together, I saw the way God shaped my path from that scrawny kid from the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur to this fat blob living on an island. And all the way, I see how God gave me little nudges and subtle hints to get here.

So I thank God for my wife. And for that lovey dovey song. Now I have to go hide my head in the sand.
