I Have Officially Moved On!

I went to church today and I saw James Chan!!! He came back from Australia a few weeks ago but today was the 1st time I met him in 2 years man!!! I was really glad to see him!!! My bro, Joe, told me that James had been telling him that he would come back to Malaysia for good in a few years' time and he would marry me then! Hahaha!!! When Joe told me that, I jokingly said, "Hey sure! Why not?!" Then Joe told James, "Hey, she agreed!" Then James came up to me and he was like, "Hey... how are you?" and he gave me that shy smile of his that melts girls' hearts... kekeke.... esp. my mom's! My mom totally adores him and I think she always wanted ME to marry him someday... wahahaha!!! As if!!!

James is a year older than I am and we grew up together. We usta attend the same Children's Church back in SGC, attended the Youth Service together, attended the same Youth Cell for a short while, and we were in the same group at 2 different youth camps. However, I was never really close to him till a few years ago... before he went to Sydney, Australia to study electrical engineering. We had video convos on MSN a coupla times when he was in Aus... and even my mom had a video convo with him once! So you can imagine how much my mom loves him... as if he was her fav son-in-law or something... =P

The one with the bass guitar is James Chan Yew Weng; the dude beside him is my cousin-in-law, Daniel Wong


Anywayz, I always knew that James liked me... he has liked me since we were kids! I kinda liked him for a while too but it never happened cuz I was attached to someone else at that time. He dated someone in Aus but they broke up a few months ago. My mom suspected that he still likes me (cuz James was practically announcing it to the whole world today) and she said, "Since you're both single now... maybe you should consider him..."

Well, honestly, I might consider James... kekeke... IF I didn't have someone else in my heart already. Nope... it ain't Eric anymore... I've finally moved on since I rededicated my life to the Lord last week at the AYA Festival. The Lord has given me someone new... someone better... someone who can help me in my spiritual growth and everything else... I can't reveal who he is yet... as things are still uncertain... but all I can say is, my life is finally getting better... and I really praise God for that! Now I'm just hoping that this guy would ask me out for Valentine's Day... =P

Lately, we both feel really comfortable talking to each other... and it's strange that we weren't close before... I've known him for so long and yet I never realized how alike we both are... yet different in a lotta ways. I've never said this about anyone else before but since knowing him better, I find that he's like the male version of me! Hehehe... I dunno if it's a good thing... or a bad thing... but I feel so free when I'm with him... I dunno why... the feeling is indescribable... =S

When I came home on Thursday night, (he walked me to my doorstep, btw), I felt at peace, somehow... it was almost as if I've found my better half after searching for it for so long... and I finally felt that my life was complete. I prayed to God to gimme someone better... to show me who was the one that He had chosen for me and maybe... just maybe... he is my answered prayer... *shrugs* The Lord told me to be patient... so I'm just gonna wait and see... I wouldn't wanna give myself false hope... =/

Btw, ever since we became closer friends, I've stopped crying over Eric... and it's indeed a good sign... =)

The Cutting Edge Youth Cell had lunch together today at the mamak near SLS and we discussed about the things we should improve on, the activities that we should plan, etc. James joined us for lunch too... and at one point, he said, "Let's catch up". Then I replied, "Here and now? Why dun we do it on Wednesday afternoon... it would be just the 2 of us then." And the rest of them were like, "Ooooooh..." Hehehe... Next week is gonna be his last week in Malaysia so I'm going out with him this coming Wednesday to catch up on things, that's all... =)
