Three weeks to go, and a new boy

I'm leaving for Australia in less than three weeks.

Besides the pursuit of my one and only true love, I have also been overwhelmingly occupied with pursuing higher education in order to achieve all my future aspirations, hence the trip (possibly this could explain why Prince Charming has eluded me thus far). So with work winding down, and friends slotting themselves into the few precious days I have remaining on this side of the world, a new boy slips into my life.

I met this boy at a friend's family holiday tradition, him and his entire family. We spent the day making homemade ravioli and nursing our holiday hangovers. His blue eyes caught mine across a crowded, noisy room and dare I say there was chemistry as we battled it out playing guitar hero?

I was surprised when he asked me out, and when he proposed bubble tea, even with my flight looming, I couldn't decline. We talked the night away and even though we are both aware of the expiry date I was shocked not only did we get along so well but that he wants to see as much of me as he can before I go...and when I return.

This week has been full of happy surprises; I even opened my email this morning to a very lovely note from him.

Of course, post-date I dished all the details to my friend, who returned the favour with every juicy detail he spilled. And let me just say, so far it's all been very sweet.
