In the beginning, there was an email from a cheeky 14-year-old girl called Natalie.
Shaohen was a youth supervisor at their former church at that time, and Natalie was placed under his care. Soon, he began to disciple her, and the friendship between them grew stronger.
However, just as they became close friends, Shaohen had to leave to Australia for a year-long study program. But thanks to the modern technology also known as internet, they actually grew closer despite being far apart.
But some good things have to end. When Shaohen returned to Malaysia, a rift came between the both of them, that resulted in them not speaking to each other for half a year. Unknown to the both of them, they are each yearning to close the gap, but are too proud to admit it.
Thank God for leaders who worked hard to bring them both back together, Shaohen and Nat soon reconciled, and the rest, they say, is history.
And yes, Shaohen is Nat's first boyfriend, and Nat is Shaohen's first girlfriend.
Then on one fateful day, 4th August 2007, Shaohen took Nat out on a similarly normal dinner, bringing a similarly normal bag. During a similarly normal conversation, he uttered the words that made the whole night abnormal - I mean, special.
And so now, we're planning our wedding together, counting down to the big day when we'll start our life journey as one.
You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.
[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah
Come and lay here beside me
I'll tell you how I feel
There's a secret inside me
I'm ready to reveal
To have you close, embrace your heart
With my love over and over
These are things that I promise
My promise to you
[CHORUS]
For all of my life, you are the one
I will love you faithfully forever
All of my life you are the one
I'll give to you my greatest love
For all of my life
Let me lay down beside you
There's something you should know
I pray that you decide to
Open your heart and let me show
Enchanted worlds of fairy tales
A wonderland of love
These are things that I promise
My promise to you
