Thanks for all your well wishes!

Hi gals! It's been sooooo long since my last entry haha ... think I've been super busy & writing has never been my strong attribute ... but I think I must thank you all for all your well wishes & share our story with all my lovely friends :)

We went through 1.5 mths of painful waiting & countless times of opening to an empty mailbox ... I still remembered once when he said " Dear, why don't you open the mailbox for me, you have always been my lucky star"; I was nervous ... opened ... and still there was no mail". Couldn't really sleep that night ... Time passed & chances grew slimmer. Deep down inside I was so afraid that he would not get it. We tried to avoid bringing up the subject but I could hear his sighs every night over the other end of the line... I was so disturbed and couldn't focus in the office - it hurts me so much because I know how badly he wanted it ... I prayed everyday ...

Finally, Tat received a call from his Mum that the postman came to deliver a registered parcel but no one was at home on a Friday ... then his Mum asked for a re-collection on Mon. Oh my god!! We couldn't do anything but wait! and it was the most awful wait!! Is it good news?? Acceptance letter? ... it should be good right?? but what if it's bad news ... oh no, we shouldn't raise our hopes too high ... all these stupid thoughts flooded our minds ... luckily, Tat managed to contact the Post office & arranged for a re-delivery on Sat. I was never happier to see a Postman in my life haha!!

There we were, an envelope in Tat's hands & 3 woman - his mum, me & his Ah-ma on her wheelchair. He opened the envelope ... I was frantically trying to search through the words ... & there it was in BOLD - "ACCEPTANCE" ... I screamed! We were overjoyed! His Mummy hugged him & she extended her arms to hug me as well ... after which she asked his Ah-ma in Teochew "do you know what's the news? do you know what's happening" - (coz Tat's Ah-ma is very old and sometimes can't even recognise people)... then Ah-ma teared and said in a trembling voice, "Ah-boy is going to be a doctor" ... she started to cry ... oh dear .. then I couldn't control my tears anymore; I didn't realise that I have penned up my emotions for so long ... crying was a relief and they were all happy tears ...

But the most touching thing was when Tat pulled me into his room, he knelt down & said to me, "Dear, thank you for sticking by me all these while ... now we are finally on par & I finally feel worthy for you... "..... - I'm can't seems to find the right words to describe my feelings, but i guess gals if you know us long enough, you'll understand ... this 7 year love marathon has never been easy but now, it just deepen my love for this man ... he makes me feel like the luckiest woman in this world... This is a whole new beginning & we'll both work very hard for our future ... I truly believe that he will definitely make a wonderful doctor ... and of course, we also want to thank all you, my dearest friends for being with me all these while... I love you all ....

All right, enough of all these mushy stuff ... on a lighter note, just to share on the replies I have received from all of you thru sms - the funniest have to be from Gis - quote
