Re: Need opinion

continue...
on the 15th me and her with her 2 best friends (couple) went to several nice places..i really feel happy because even this is our first time met but they threat me as an old friends also...thanks to nong and pong (hopefully my spelling is right)...during daytime me and my gf will ride the bike wondering around chiangrai...and at night after they finish their work they will take us out...i dont know how to write about the feeling anymore
16th my flight to bangkok at 1.30pm...in the morning both of us went to the general hospital because her mother is doing the routine check up...and what the big question asked by her mother to her "do you sleep with him" haa???...she said no..and i told her no..dont worry auntie eventhough people that met us will think about that but for us let it be..as long as we are not doing it why worried right?

ok guys thats a simple experience from me..planning to go again in february...because planning to celebrate my birthday there because ny birthday same with her father and pong (her best friend)...what a coincidence...so just planning right...

Re: Need opinion

just a little bit to share...
as some of u all knew muslim had celebrate "hari raya haji" on the 27th of nov...i had chances to bring my gf to experience the celebration ...she stayed in my mum house for two nights..at first she felt uncomfortable because of the comm barrier but luckily my sisters in law helps her a lot during her stays...and she told me she felt very very happy because everybody threat her very nice...my 2 child also really happy coz this time they had somebody other than their aunties to be with them...but the best things was she tried almost all the dishes that being prepared during the celebration even though its not really big celebration compare to "hari raya puasa"...my mum like her very much and even only two days staying with her ..seems like they had known each other for long time... when i send her back my mums gave her a lot of things for her to brought back...
she called her mum to tell all the experienced..so to cut it short its a great experiences for her and me...
* sorry i dont know how to say hari raya in english

Eidul Fitri(Aidil Fitri)- fasting during Ramadhan.*

Eidul Adha(Aidil Adha)- celebration for the Hajj (at Mekah).

* p.s. sometimes those not fasting also can join to celebrate Eidul Fitri.

no, that one was at the end of September this year. this one was the feast of the sacrifice, marking the end of the Hajj.

Re: Need opinion

on the 4th of dec we managed to visit her auntie and uncle in pathalung...i am lucky because my works made me had a lot of extra time especially in end of the year...at first i am quite worry because she told her uncle is unfriendly person (face always serious and he is "somebody" in pathalung)...reached there around 2pm..had lunch with her auntie who really want to see me in person...like usual communication barrier is not a big problem because from my body language they can see how much i love my GF...then we went to her auntie house and there i met the uncle...yes his face with mustache looks very fierce...but after 10 minutes he can laugh already...why?? because everytime they speak i just listen and he knew i didnt understand at all..and actually he can speak little bit of english..so everything goes fine...and my GF and auntie also weird how come he can be so friendly with me...hahahahaaa...but the uncle said to them my waterface shows that i am really honest with my GF so he knows everything going to be fine between me and my GF...he also give some advice ...and also told me to come again and spent a night at his home ...ok guys..today is my working day..quite busy...but maybe until 2 pm only after that free time...ok guys

Re: Need opinion

long time no updates..hehehee..quite busy especially in the early year...
just a simple update within this 2 months up to now..
january
as usual i will accompany her whenever she want to go...visit her aunties and uncles and old friends who live in the southern thai...
the biggest things in her life and in our relationship happened on 31 Jan 2010...she is now Nur Fariza Abdullah..so the first step had taken place...so now the second step..
february
we thought going back to her home as planned before on 13th feb but because of some works to be clear we decide to postpone to 25th feb...so my 31st birthday on 14 feb was celebrated with her only..first both of us had a candle light dinner..than her boss held small party in their office for me...and later she held a suprised party in the club ..fuhhhhh...i never experienced something like this..because i never celebrate my birthday before...
so now our conversation are more towards getting married preparation..so on the 26th feb i will go to meet her parents once again to do the proper way... for me its not wrong to follow the culture and her parents also can accept me as who i am...so this year i had turn 31 and my gf will turn 34 this coming oct but for me age is only numbers...and our friend ZAKK had met us while he was on his way back to KL ..and i had the opportunity to talk with him...nice meeting u mr advisor...hehehehehee..
so me and my GF panning to get married in mei 2010...hopefully everything runs smooth..just hope u guys wishing me all the best...
