Reading a friend's blog, and I saw something interesting.

Finding the right guy is just like finding the right pair of shoes. (Thanks for sharing, Vivian)

I find that it is so true. I am sorry if you can't read mandarin. I would not translate them word by word to English eventhough I can do that. I'd just share what I think about it.

When I was in college, I'd always been looking for a good pair of sneakers. I walked a lot. Hence I needed a pair of shoes that could protect my feet. At the same time, I was hoping a knight in his shining armour would come my way, to take good care of me. Funny, isn't it? After reading that article, I looked back and I realised how true it is.

After I graduated from college, stepped into the man-eats-man world. I no longer looked for a pair of sneakers. All I wanted was nice sandals, comfortable yet suitable for work. I still walked a lot as I had to travel via public transport quite some distance to my work place. That time, I've already got my knight in shining armour to protect me. :) Looking back, I now understand I wanted a man that could walk with me for the rest of my life.

Few years ago, I started looking for nice high heels, peep-toe pumps...... Even now. I want to look elegant and glamorous in those pumps and heels. On the other hand, I am always on the lookout for some nice and comfortable walking shoes. It makes me realised that I am now wanting a man that can make me feel good about myself and yet willing to walk on the long road of life with me, comfortably.

I am glad that I have found both the right shoes and right man at the right time. Perhaps they're not the best shoes and man in the world, but they have certainly come at the right time.

A new pair of shoes is just like the man we've just met. I have endured so much pain in wearing those new shoes. After a while, they have become so comfortable that I would not bear to ditch even when they were torn. The same with Andrew. We both have endured so much of highs and lows, I wouldn't want to give that all away just because of some flaws. If I could go through those pains, why can't I go throught it with Andrew? :) Afterall, I made my choice.

I am now aware of how happy I am with my relationship with Andrew. Recently I hardly complain to my friends about him anymore. Of course, there are still moments which I wish he could do better. Well, maybe he is feeling the same about me too. So, why should I be the only one who's complaining and not him?

Why am I feeling this? I've never felt this before. Suddenly I feel so contented with my life and I could not ask for more.

After having some "hard time" with my Crocs, it is now as comfortable as walking on cotton bed.
After going through so much with Andrew, it is now as comfortable as having another pair of Crocs. LOL! :P (Sorry honey, I'm comparing you to a pair of shoes!)

P/S: Now I'm contemplating whether to buy my parents a pair of Crocs. I wonder if they could endure the pain. Hahahahaha. I'm so excited that I'm going home tomorrow night! Mom and dad, here I come! And those chinese dumplings that I'm going to help my mom with! Drools!!!
