STORY (^) JOCELYN LEE
happy. He knows that, so
he asked my jeweller friend
to customise a ring with
rainbow colours in it. The
ring has a row of diamonds
around it and different-
coloured sapphires in
the middle. I love the
ring even though I’m not
into jewellery. I’ve always
said that I would prefer to get a good washing
machine if we got engaged (laughs).
We hear there was some drama surrounding the
ring.
So he bought me the ring a year ago, but he lost it! I
was in his room and I was so close to the ring that he
panicked and put it in his suit jacket which he later
sent for dry-cleaning. And he couldn’t find it after. So
he went back to the jeweller to make the exact same
ring which he proposed to me with. But just last week,
he found the original ring in his drawer! So now I have
two of the same rings (laughs).
You guys were dating long-distance for 12 years.
He was in the States for four years and in Japan for
six. When he was in Japan, I moved to Taiwan for five
years. All in all we were not in the same country for
12 years. But we’re not the type of couple who had to
chat on the phone all the time. We only called each
other when we had something important to share.
So a LDR was really easy. In the 12 years, we didn’t
argue much. It was only after we both moved back
to Singapore that we started arguing ’cos we weren’t
used to spending so much time together.
So what makes him the right one?
He's not simply someone I love — he's a part of me.
If I ever lose him, it's like losing my arm. That's the
best way I can describe it. I’m not going to say things
like: “I want to wake up with him every day” ’cos when
he’s overseas, I feel good too ’cos I have time to
myself. But he makes me feel very safe,
and he’s someone I can count on.
When I travel with him, I know he will
keep me alive (chuckles).
