The First Date


March 3rd, 2010.

Through some electronic conversation I find we share a common interest in photography. The day quickly turns to night as we capture still frames of moments to last a lifetime. As it is still quite chilly out, she finds solace wrapped around my arm. I enjoy it as well, however, I relish in the moment and am soon lost. An emu; native to the north, and a koala bear; native to eucalyptus trees doing very little else than eating leaves slowly and hugging trees, have very good innate directional sense. The journey begins to find the car.

After a long day of travels, we commence our well deserved dinner at Asian Legend. I like the way she smiles at me. Dinner goes smoothly, and we eat to our hearts content.


The day has yet to end. Our next destination is a testament of our skills on ice. Being the gentlemen I am, I suck at skating. Did I mention this koala bear used to figure skate? Well she did. This time I take solace in her arms. I quite like it. As we go round and round the rink, the people around us slowly depart. It feels like it's just the two of us.

As the night draws on and we realize its about time to call it a day, we take a last spin around the rink... and then another... and then another. And finally, the time is perfect. Adequate lamp-post lighting, minimal distractions, without sneezing =p, I spin her to a stop, look deep into her eyes, and we share our first kiss.

Flash forward,

To make it official, I do like any other chivalrous man in the past. No beating around a bush, no games. I get her a single long stemmed red rose and I ask her.

"Jazey, will you be my girlfriend?"

Yes. Yes she will.
