February 2021: Amidst the COVID lockdown, we arranged a Google Meet™ call after chatting on a matchmaking app, Coffee Meets Bagel™. She was serving her housemanship in Taiping while I was teaching in Pulau Ketam under the Teach For Malaysia Fellowship.
April 2021: We grew closer with each online date (I taught her fishing; she taught me CPR) and finally had our first official date in Cheras.
September 2021: After another COVID lockdown, I got to meet her parents during our second date.

August 2025: Under the witness of our beloved family and friends, we solemnized our marriage at the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Brickfields, KL
