How We Met

In 1998, we were working in different departments within the Faculty of Medicine, National University of Singapore. We first met when both our departments came together to organize a distance-learning workshop in May. What initially started off as a working relationship soon bloomed after numerous chat sessions on James's chat server. We eventually started to go out and officially became a couple 8 months later in January 1999.

The Engagement

Following the proposal on Sam's birthday (18th May 2001) at the ...NIE park, we decided to have a surprise engagement party to break the news to our friends. So on 15th September 2001, we used James's birthday as an excuse to host a BBQ cum birthday celebration at Changi Chalet B.
