Hey Steph, sorry I havn't checked my e-mail in quite some time now. Welcome to the site, hope life is being good to you la.
I know exactly how you feel, I too have meet the love of my life, she is of Indian decent and live in KL, Malaysia, but our problem seems to me more of a financial situation la. I just wish we had more money, I think it sucks that people are able to fall in love and politics or money is what prevents them from being together, so I'm almost in the same boat you are la. Take care and wish ya the best.
