  • Hi everyone. This is Sumting Wong and his wife Never Wong.

  • Welcome back to 2 Wongs Make it Right

  • Many of you have asked how we met.

  • So we made this special episode to reveal the mystery.

  • Here's the story

  • We met online

  • So I saw her profile pictures

  • And she's pretty cute, so I sent her a message

  • And one of her pictures was actually taken in the Alps in Switzerland

  • And I just happened to have a job interview in Switzerland

  • So I mentioned to her, figuring that might be a good ice-breaker

  • And my first impression of him was ok

  • I thought he looked a little serious and emo

  • I was thinking he was one of those boring Asian types

  • Boy, was I wrong

  • That coupled with the fact he was having a job interview in Switzerland

  • I didn't want to do long-distance, so we lost touch

  • Fast forward a year and half later

  • Out of the blue I just decided to send a message to wish her Happy New Year

  • And this time, he has changed his profile picture

  • to him looking very tan

  • and wearing a tight triathlon suit

  • This was not the boring Asian who I remember

  • I had also just done a half-marathon myself

  • so i figure we would have a lot to talk about

  • so i messaged him back

  • So we exchanged phone numbers

  • and I called her but she didn't pick up the call

  • I was too nervous. I wanted to hear his voice, in case it was creepy

  • Good that I didn't use my funny voice

  • Oh Gosh. That wouldn't have worked

  • No? Why not?You love me long time.

  • Actually, I used my sexy voice.

  • How're you doing, baby?

  • That probably wouldn't have worked either

  • So, for those of you who do online dating

  • if they don't pick up leave a message

  • because they probably just want to hear your voice

  • so I finally called him back

  • and I was still very nervous to talk to him

  • so I actually pretended that he was my lab co-worker

  • who was also Chinese and had a very similar accent

  • Well, apparently we not only look the same, but we also sound the same

  • Well it really helped me be less nervous, so

  • So during our conversation, he mentioned that he is Canadian

  • And I remark that his accent actually sounds Chinese-Canadian

  • And he quickly replied that actually he's never lived in Canada

  • That's about right, eh?

  • I am not sure where I heard that Canadian accent

  • So moving forward the next step was skyping

  • We set a time and I dressed up for her

  • I had a shirt, a tie and a sweater

  • but sitting in my underwear

  • Really?

  • Yeah, of course! Just like now

  • Where are you pants?!

  • Who needs pants for Youtube?

  • Well, the video chat was a real game changer for me

  • because pictures and phone can mean so much

  • but I got to see his mannerism. He looked really cute

  • And by that point, I was really excited to meet him in person

  • So we set the date but I had my own agenda

  • I wanted to make it more interesting. So actually I decided to visit her a week earlier

  • And I was not so happy about the plan

  • I had a very very busy week at work

  • And that day I was driving home on my long commute

  • And actually I stopped and got some big bag of trail mix

  • and I was munching on that on the way home

  • I got into my bed and was ready to take a nap and he messaged me "wanna get dinner?"

  • At first I was really confused and then I realized what he meant

  • He was here in my hometown and I had to meet him

  • So, I had a mini freak-out session

  • Got myself together and I told him I need some time to get ready cause I gotta look good

  • And that was probably the longest prep time ever

  • I am a little embarrassed to admit that it took me an hour and a half to get ready

  • but this is potential love of my life. I needed to look really good for you

  • So finally I walked downstairs and I met him in person

  • And thank God she wasn't taller than me

  • Hal-Lelu-Jah, hallelujah, hallelujah

  • He was perfect. Perfect height. He looked cute

  • And I immediately noticed his laugh. I love his laugh

  • So we walked to dinner and I was still kind of full from my trail mix

  • It's a cheap date. It all worked out

  • We had great conversation and it was a really wonderful night

  • The rest is history

  • we hope you enjoyed the story of how we met

  • And we would love to hear your stories

  • If you don't have one, go out and make one
