Or should it be..."the story continues ??"
I read with interest and pleasure all about Shaun's adventure....and many of us here know the sick, empty feeling when we wave goodbye at the Airport.
Some of us here know the elation of expectation when preparing for the SECOND visit !!!
I never was in that situation before, but now I am !!
Such a different set of emotions and expectations. I feel like I am going home, and not setting out on a perilous journey.
I leave Perth on Friday pm and will be with Ming for about 2 weeks. We have made arrangements to meet in Singapore, and we will get a chance for her to have a good look at a "Westernised" Asian Country...I bet the shopping will appeal to her.....my Credit Card no doubt, will be suffering from RSI if she gets her way !!
We then will travel to Chengdu together and off again on the endless round of family dinners (wonderful "aint it !!). This time, I have no need to get all wound up about "how will it go, what will it all be like, will this woman and I get along"...we have already got over those hurdles.
Now we have a fresh set of challenges, we need to really get to know each other as people, we have made giant progress over the past 6 months and I am confident that this next phase will only add to our happiness.
We have a set of "we must do this and that again, like last time"...favourite places, favourite restaraunts where we enjoyed our time together before.......its a totally different scenario from the first meeting...and a lot more to look forward to.
At the moment I am shopping for some expensive lingerie for her...they cant get real authentic designer label stuff without paying an arm and a leg !! Would you believe, I have NEVER done this before in all my life.......and I had no idea it was so complex !! there are dozens of measurements that the Shop people want to know...some of them quite intimate :dodgy:....but I will persevere....its quite bizarre talking to buxom young chicks in shops about the finer details of exotic Ladies Lingerie :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:...I could get used to it !!
