An unusual relationship

A dream wedding is all I ever thought of as a little girl. Now that I am 24 years old, with no boyfriend and no marriage plans I start to get worried. Thinking about what if i never find the guy of my dreams until i am 50? Or what if i will never find a guy period. For peoeple who have been following my blog you would know that I fall in love easily and that I have had a few boyfriends. Because of my work, my circle of friends are quite limited hence I have decided to try online dating. Some worked while some didnt.

RIght now in this second of my life, I have met this guy. He is tall, dark, cute and really nice. Maybe its still the honeymoon period and that we are moving on really quickly but whatever it is, I'm starting to fall in love and him likewise (hopefully). But this isnt your normal boy-girl relationship because he is a malay while i am a chinese. I am not saying that i dont like malays or that they are bad. Im saying i have never dated a malay guy before but I already can sense what is going to happen. Most of my friends who are chinese are already starting to say, quit while its early. I dont even dare to imagine what my dad will say if he knew I was dating a malay. Thing is I myself dont even know what to do.

Love is suppose to be happy and between the 2 of them. But in this case there is the islamic laws and stuff. I do not want to comment much about it as I dont understand the whole culture and tradition. All i know is that if i marry him, I have to convert into a muslim. That there is no such thing is dual-religion. I dont know if during this journey my friends and family will be there to support me or not. But I believe that, love is still love despite religion and culture. Whether I am able to sacrific my tradition and culture is another story but right now all I want to do is just be with him. Other problems will be handled/thought of when the time comes.
