How we begin....... The MSN Experience.

Well, our love story starts from what most young Singaporean would do during our free time. Yes, the Internet. I was kind of skeptical with the idea of finding myself a girlfriend from the cyberspace, although I do believe that love can blossom from there. My brother and my sister in law present  a living proof to me.            On 22th November 2002 Friday,  I was doing my routine checks on all my yahoos and hotmails accounts mailbox before leaving for home. Upon exiting my hotmail account, my browser redirects me to http://www.msn.com.sg That was a picture of a lady (I can't remember who's that fyi) and I got to know that this is called "MSN Personnal" service, whereby singles can make friends with those ladies and gentlemen who posted their pics there. So out of curiosity, I put  my car key backed into my drawer and registered myself as a free member. (haha, cheapo)

CoNNie Cheng?? CoNNie Who??

So the first logical thing I did was to do a search on all aged 22 - 24 females residing in Singapore. And, I put a check on "With Picture Only". Haha, that narrowed down the search ar... Til then I realised that I have to need to have credit points before I can established contacts with them. Alas, there are those whom have already purchased the credits, and we, as free member (a.k.a Guest) can contact them for "FREE".            So after the search was completed, and after browsing through their interests, and their criterias, II notice a lady by the nick of CoNNie. Connie? What a weird name, I reckoned. And what's still, it had to be spelled with two uppercase n. Unique!            I proceed to drop her a simple message. It read            "hellooo....loves to be your friendzz...."            That's it. I logged off and drove back home!

Oh my god, she replied

23 November 2002 Saturday The morning after......            It was my non working saturday. Woke up late and again followed my routine checks on my emails. Oh my god... this CoNNie gal had replied.            This is what she wrote:
