Our Story
How We Met
It all started at the end of 2005 when a friend of ours, Anna Ismail, decided to introduce some of her colleagues (i.e. Dallas & Ceaser) to some of her personal friends (i.e. Melina & Josephine).
She told us to meet up with her for dinner at Oasis in Bangsar.

At The Oasis
To those who know me (Dallas) well enough, you would know that my taste in girls includes the criterias: cute and thin, which Melina qualified. Yeah, that's it. ...okay okay, also shorter than me which Melina didn't qualify but at least she's not taller, we're just the same height. :P
Anyway, as we entered Oasis, Anna introduced us to two girls, Josephine & Melina!
And so, the five of us had dinner and that's how Melina and I first met.

How We Got Together
SMS: "Hi dear, why can't u make it? I miss u!"
Since then, the five of us started hanging out a lot at places like mamaks in Taman Desa, Anna's place, Dallas' place...etc. But nothing happened yet...
Fast forward, 21st of December 2005 was Ceaser's 25th birthday and we all planned to meet up at Oasis, Bangsar to celebrate. Melina was supposed to be there but halfway through, she called Anna to say she couldn't make it.
We were disappointed so I decided to flirt with her over SMS to tell her so and when she replied in a similar way, we both thought, "Hmmm...there could be something here" and that's how it started.

New Year's Eve
And so, it went on for a while...
The five of us had planned to rent a hotel room at Impiana KLCC for the New Year's Eve of '06 so that we're near the local club scenes. Ceaser couldn't make it but another colleague, Veron came along with some of her friends.
We head over to Passion/Poppy KL that night and had fun!

Going Steady
During the time leading up to Chinese New Year of '06, Melina and I went for some dates at various places (Pizza Uno Taipan, Sushi King MV, Bukit Tinggi...etc).
We had fun getting to know each other better and that's chemistry at work! ;)
The day we went steady was in February '06, while driving her back home from a CNY gathering, I suggested that we should go steady. She put me through tons of tough Q&As asking why. At the end, she said yes. :)
