The dramatic lip-syncing and silly actions to lyrics of sappy love songs
The constant desire to learn more about God all the time
The way he melts my heart when he sings about growing old with me
The inspiring and dynamic worship leader that he is
The best birthday party planner ever!
The way he TRIES to dance
The fact that he’s not afraid to be honest, even if it means losing a friend
The long lonely drive all the way to Clementi just to send me home from school
The way he’s great at most things…
…And doesn’t make me feel stupid beside him
The way he cracks me up with his jokes
The amount of research he does before buying a gadget
The patience and love he has for his dad
The way his mouth is always subconsciously opened
The different perspectives he always give me
The way he spends money on me without thinking twice
The way he spends money on others without thinking twice
The silly imitations of people like Austin Powers and Jose Mourinho
The way he says “eh?” when he forgets something
The way he burps and farts so unreservedly
The creativity in him that never seems to die off
The amount of space in his heart to love and care for so many other people besides me
The fact that he contributes to paying the bills at home
The coupon boy!
The amount of effort he puts into his design works
The reminders he gives me to be a better person
The mornings when we would go jogging together…
…and how he would wait for me to catch up
…and look at me whenever someone wearing a blue Stand Chart Marathon jersey jogs past us
The patience he has to wait for me to finish my meals
The stomach to help me finish the leftovers
The insistence to pay for every meal
The times he listened and stood by his mother
The occasional smses to remind me that he loves me
The way he laughs at my jokes
The fact that he buys his maid Christmas presents
The futile efforts to stay awake during movies, despite me pinching and hitting him
The times we spent indulging in good food
The adventurous spirit in him
The shared dream of getting married and having kids together
The way he treasures his friendships with sincerity
The nights we spent talking late even though we had to work the next day
The fact that we never seem to run out of things to say
The way his physique complements mine perfectly
The amount of thought he puts into buying me the best presents
The motivation he gives me to do my assignments and articles
The excitement he has when my articles are published
The fact that he loves my parents for who they are
The fun things we do together, like watching a soccer match at the national stadium…
…and the not-so-fun things like when he pushed me into a wall. (Shrek.)
The fact that he listens to what I say
The effort he makes to send me home every time, no matter where we are
The fact that he doesn’t complain when he has to travel back to Woodlands alone
The ability he has to connect with people
The kind offers to help out with my school fees
The way he calls me ‘Joo’
The nights he stayed up to wait for me to finish my stuff when I’m busy
The heartwarming hugs he give me
The food he buys for me out of the blue
The vulnerable side of him
The knowing that I can always rely on him. Always.
The fact that he remembers my favourite food…
…And buys them for me out of the blue
The safety I feel in his arms
The weekends we spent serving God together
The freedom he gives for me to be with my friends
The willingness to spend time with my family
The tolerance of my PMS days
The way we fooled around and behaved like kids in public, not caring about what others would think
The time we prayed, shared and read the bible together
The effort he makes to pray for our relationship during Grace
The way he always makes sense, even out of nonsense
The great length he went to get me black coffee when he heard that I only had 3-in-1s in the office
The patience to accompany me on long and tiring shopping trips
The way he thinks he’s my fashion guru *rolls eyes*
The innate skill he has to wrap presents
The fact that he understands all my jokes
The common interests that we share
The witty comments that leave me speechless at times
The patronizing conversation when I called up pretending to be a chinese TV host
The attempts to predict what I’m gonna say
The fact that he knows all my friends
The early morning calls just to make sure I’m up
The way we codeswitch from English to Mandarin to Hokkien
The good advice he gives
The way he giggles in a small boy manner
The silly poses he give when we take photos
The meticulous manner of keeping track of his finances
The fact that he knows what I’m talking about when I get into the technical jargons of my job
The way he bothers to try and remember the names of my colleagues
The fact that he will never pangseh me
The massages he give without complaining or expecting one in return
The way he tries to salvage his drool from dripping…
...And the times he failed to ‘salvage’ it. Eeeeee…
The optimistic outlook of life which rubs off on me
The way he teases me about things I dislike
The instant retarded reenactments when I make a fool of myself
The attention he gives me, even when we’re out with friends
The sensitive new age side of him
The fact that after 8 years together, he doesn’t love me any less, accepts me for who I am, despite my countless flaws and imperfection, and wants to spend many more years with me…
