Holiday season

In December 2006, I travelled NZ with my three best friends. It was the first time we had really spent time together after leaving high school. We had an awesome time and I still smile whenever I think about the trip. Imagine. Four girls doing random crazy things like rolling down a hill in a plastic ball with a bucketful of water, climbing a glacier in the pouring rain, bungy jumping 43 meters off a bridge, skydiving, exploring (and getting lost) in various towns and kayaking on a fjord.

Strangely enough, that adventure sort of started off another chapter of my life. While I was there, I suddenly wondered about a primary schoolmate that I hadn't seen since I was twelve. He migrated to NZ with his family a few years after primary school.

It gets more strange. To cut a long story short, he happened to be in KL on holiday when I returned from my NZ trip. We met for the first time in eleven years and got along so amazingly and unexpectedly well. It was as if there hadn't been that eleven year gap. We talked six hours straight. Funny thing was it felt so much shorter. The next day, he flew back to NZ.

He is now (it still awes me when I think about it) my boyfriend. Would you believe it? I am with the best man that I know. And I am spending Christmas with him and his family! I'm absolutely rapt!! It is the first time I'm visiting him. I even started packing last week though I'm not leaving for a few days. That and I haven't been able to sleep properly because I am bouncing-off-the-walls-type excited. :D

I am so going to pounce on him when he greets me at the airport!

Consider yourself warned, Mr P! :D
