My American date

It was year 2006 when i meet Greg. We meet in one of the dating site in the internet. We talk via IM whenever we see each other online. He is a married guy with 5 grown up daughters he was 44 when we meet. He works as a lecturer (thats what he told me). He comes here to conduct seminar with students who wants to become a internet genius.. He has a masters degree in a California University ( didnt ask though what course he took)
When we started chatting he mentioned that he is coming to Singapore to conduct a seminar in Suntec city. He will be staying in a hotel near the building. He asked me if we could meet up one morning for a coffee and have a chat before he start with the class. I agreed to meet him.
I live about 10 minutes away from Suntec so I thought theres no problem with the travelling time.

When he arrives he gives me a call saying that he arrives safe and asked me when is the best time for me to meet him up. In short we meet up in the morning for breakfast in his hotel restaurant. There was a buffet breakfast , but we both more interested to talk than eating. After few months of talking via IM and cam to cam here we are finally making eye to eye contacts.
We both know what to expect to each other as we already talked a lot of things over the months.
Our topics consists of family, weather, work, daily routine etc.
He knows im working as a maid , and he thinks that my english is good and everytime he says that im blushing ...I have a college diploma for goodness sake and works in a different company in the Philippines before I came to work here.
He is a average looking guy, soft spoken, speaks clearly and always smiling.
He asked me if i love Singapore and my answer is YES. Is it his first time to visit but already wanting to come again if the company permits.
We meet again in the evening after his meeting and dinner with clients. I brought him in the clark quay area for a drink and show him around. He enjoyed my company we laugh a lot like we know each other for a long time..
He stayed here for 5 days and I meet him every single night till he went home.

He came back one more time around July 2008 and of course we meet again. I brought him to Vivo City and had lunch in a Brazilian Restaurant. We watched movie after and show him my photo that was being displayed in Marina Square. YES, im a maid and a photographer too. Peopl
e thinks maids are ignorant and stupid but i tell you its the people who judge maid thats is ignorant.
He was so amused with the photos that he asked me to teach him how to take good photos. We did take a few snaps at the Marina Bay area using his point and shoot camera . And took some using my DSLR . I let him use my camera for a while and he took few snaps of me . Being the photographer myself im not good at posing but we laugh at the outcome of the photo shooting.

Well, by now some of you are wondering how i manage to skip out from my employers house and meet this wonderful man.
When your employer is good and gives you all the freedom you want. This is how we suppose to live, right.
I have the right to live and enjoy life, and 10 years over with the same employer, they still havent fired me.
When I came home and showed them photos of me and Greg, they are so happy and said GO GIRL!

Now 2 years after that meeting Greg is coming again to SG. Cant wait for you my friend.
Over the years , you make my life worthwhile with your never ending thoughtfulness and your jokes really makes life bearable.
