This post is bittersweet for me. It represents a year of being engaged, a year of soul searching and a year of self realization and joyfulness. Last year around this time the love of my life proposed on a day trip to Lake Calhoun in the Twin Cities. Last year, around the same time, I…

Thoughts on Marriage Preparation
There are currently 131 days until we say our “I Do’s” and plenty of things on our list that still needs to be done. This past weekend we just crossed off another major item off our list; marriage preparation course. A lot of my non-religious friends have asked me about what it entails since it’s…
Thoughts on Invitations
Three months into the new year and my heart is so grateful for all the things God has done in our lives. I’m so thankful that God has continued to guide us through so many obstacles and challenges with the upcoming wedding and residency. We almost had to cancel our flights for our upcoming trip…
Wedding Planning and Traditions
On the topic of wedding planning, our friends and family have been hugely supportive in so many ways (financially and offering their time and services). I would have to say that it’s been mostly a breeze the past several months since the engagement. Two of the biggest items we knocked off our list was booking…
He Popped the Question
Honestly, I did not expect it to happen this time around as S.O’s grandma just passed. I figured that due to our Asian culture that perhaps he would pop the question another time. We’ve talked about it for the longest time (actually all throughout the time we’ve been dating). We knew that if we were…
Thoughts on Conferences/Vacations
Conferences is something the both of us look forward to. Rather than flying between where be both live, we are treated to an all-expenses paid trip (well, mainly just S.O. and most of it is paid for by work) to a new city. The best thing is that I get to tag along and we…
December in the Mid-West
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. Aside from Jesus Christ being born, I love how all the malls and community centres are all centred around bringing the holiday spirit out. It’s one of those nostalgic seasons for me because I grew up celebrating this season, putting up the Christmas tree with…
Thoughts on Dating a Resident
When I returned to the West-coast from an overseas trip, I fell in love with a medical graduate who had just found out they had matched to another country. We knew we didn’t have a lot of time to see if things would work out so we saw each other everyday for about a month…
Thoughts on Long Distance
I never imagined myself to be dating someone cross-borders, but here I am in that very situation. I keep reminding myself that this is temporary and it’s the choice we’ve made and we’re going to try to figure out this long-distance thing together. After all, three long years of residency in a small town in…
Thoughts on Finding Love
Over two decades ago, I fell in love with gaming. I recall the first time I held a remote was when the Super Nintendo console was released and I had two favourite games; Super Mario World and F-Zero. As I grew up, I learned to appreciate various types of gaming systems and eventually ended up…
