Love Story: He's my 'giant' and I'm his 'dwarf'
Shavonne is just 150cm tall, while Sheng Kwong stands a statuesque 185cm. Yet despite their differences, love blossomed between them one Christmas, five years ago.
Shavonne wrote on their love:
"We love and trust each other, that's all it matters.
“Everywhere it was 'We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas…'.
"But it was not a ‘Merry Christmas’ for me after having just broken up with my ex-boyfriend a few days prior to Christmas of 2005. I thought I was going to spend Christmases alone, for the rest of my life. That was until I met him, my real love, Sheng Kwong.
"We were having a Christmas celebration at my church and he had been invited by one of my cell group members. I remember he came with a group of guys and my first impression of him was not very good, especially his dress sense.
"'A blue shirt and a pink tie? Oh my gosh! Ta match lah!'
"Yet one thing caught my attention which was his height of 185cm.
"After the service, we went on to have fellowship time and one of my members pushed me to his side.
"'Look! A giant and a dwarf! Hahaha!' By the way, my height was 150cm back then, so you know the reason why it was funny. So everyone started laughing, he laughed too, and I felt so embarrassed.
"I could not remember what happened next but all I could recall is that we started talking there and then.
"Recovering from the previous break-up was not easy, but Sheng Kwong was always there to cheer me up. Eventually, I fell for him after a couple of weeks. He too confessed that he had feelings for me. However, we could not be together as our cell leader disapproved of our being together.
"It was a heart-breaking moment when we decided to go separate ways. I remembered our last conversation was on the phone and we cried together, after which he left the church too.
"After our ‘breakup’, we stopped contacting each other completely. However, my heart was still with him. Sometimes after school, I would even take buses which would pass by his school’s basketball court, just hoping I could get a glance of him. This went on for a year and a half.
"During this period of time I tried to engage myself in another relationship but it did not go well.
"Then, in August 2007, he suddenly started a conversation with me via MSN. We started chatting like old friends and soon, we went out for dinner. One thing led to another, and we started dating again. Well, of course I was happy and all, but quickly I realised the course of my relationship with him would not be smooth sailing.
"In every relationship, there is always a “honeymoon period”. When it is over reality sets in.
"In my case, my 'honeymoon period' was a very short time. Probably it was because we had not known each other very well before we started dating, thus quarrelling was a daily thing with us.
"What’s more, our trust for each other was not at all strong back then. I remembered there was one incident which almost caused us to break up. It happened 2 years ago when I found out that he went to meet up with his ex-girlfriend while lying to me, saying that he was with his friends.
"After I had caught him, my mind was set that this relationship was doomed. He tried to apologize and make it up to me. However my nightmare did not just stop there. Soon I found out that he had complained to his ex-girlfriend about our relationship.
"This clearly showed that he did not care for my feelings and probably wished to get back to his ex-girlfriend. I confronted him and we tried to talk things out. Well, 'once bitten, twice shy,' so how could I trust him again?
"Fortunately, over time I started to gain trust in him again. It was not easy, with lots of tears and heart-breaking moments.
"In February 2010, he enlisted into the army – another obstacle for us. Initially, it was painful to be parted from him. However as time went by, things start to settle down.
'We always made full use of our time together during the weekends and days when he was not in camp. For army boys, weekends are rest time, yet he always spent it with me. For this, I am very grateful.
"So, we have been together for three years and four months already. I thank God that our relationship did not start out smoothly. It was because we went through so much together that we found out there we are right for each other. From lovers, we became strangers. Then from strangers, we became lovers again.
"Loving someone and staying in a relationship with him/her is not easy. It takes trust, courage, determination, patience and most importantly genuine love to build and maintain a relationship. I thank God that both of us possess all these attributes to keep this relationship of ours alive.
"He is my best friend, my best buddy, my best playmate, my comforter, my strength, my love and my companion. We love and trust each other, and that’s all that matters.
"We wish every couple and single out there, 'Happy Valentine’s Day!'"

How long does it take to write one post compared to the time spent watching TV programs?
