And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

The past week has been busy. Extremely tiring, and draining. I reached the airport early, hoping his flight wasn't delayed (it was) and ended up playing Metroid Pinball until his flight arrived, slipping in a cigarette here and there.
People started to crowd around the arrival gate, so I did the same (typical Singaporean), peering through the glass panes to see if I could spot him. People started pouring out of the gate towards the baggage claim, and then I spotted him. He looked so old, I thought it was just the stress from the flight, before I realized that his mustache helped with the ageing process.
With a quick (hairy) kiss, we made our way to the hotel where we were going to spend the week. I mentioned how the mustache made him look 40.. so he took it off and he looks 15 years younger. Awesome. Hehehe.
So I was getting ready for bed and I turned around to grab my phone and set the alarm when I saw him on one knee, in front of me, with a shy look on his face, ring in hand and he said the words I had waited 10 months to hear in person, "Will you marry me?" I nearly cried as he put the ring on my finger.
One of his purposes here was to meet my parents, and earn their approval in a way. He received a gold star, apparently. I love a man who loves his food, and Karl was a real trooper, trying everything once even if he didn't really like it all that much. Which amuses me. From sea cucumber to fishballs, he tried as much as we'd feed him.
Exotic foods however, can have an adverse reaction on a person who is not used to eating stuff like that on a regular basis. I introduced him to curry noodles and in turn, it introduced him to severe indigestion several hours later. It made me worry about him because he started hacking and throwing up, but was okay as soon as the chili oil was out of his system.
We went to Sentosa (Cable-Car, go!), Bugis, Orchard, and some other places, and he snapped away at his instamatic camera. So tourist-y. At least he's Foreigner +1, as I had lent him my dad's transportation card and we went everywhere by bus or train.
The ring on my finger is a funny subject though. I mentioned how he proposed.. but I was shy to tell my friends about the ring or even show it to them, but he went ahead and shoved my arm into their faces so there's no way they couldn't see it. Almost like saying, "Here. This is MY ring on HER finger. Whoever dares say I'm not serious will get a slap in the face with Perlin's arm." So cute.
Last night we sat down with my parents and had a serious talk about where we were going in our relationship, and when we would like to set the wedding. So we've tentatively set it in mid-June (OMG Summer) in Boise, Idaho. Now I can't wait to tell almost everyone that I'm getting married to a man I met in World of Warcraft. I'm just patiently waiting for his plane to land in LA so I can speak to him for a bit before going to bed. I miss the guy already.
Katie was right. Having this ring on my finger kinda changes my perspective on nearly everything.

You might be living in my neighbourhood, or some other town or country far away. I don't know. And neither do you, at this point.
Wherever you are, I know I'll find you... if you don't find me first.
It's just a matter of time.
