Hubby’s weird habit

After 2 nights of observation, I seem to discover something new about my hubby. Though I think is weird but I appreciate what he has done.

After finishing Star Awards last night,hubby went to sweep the floor,use turpentine to clean some of the stains on the floor as a result of the reno,mop the floor. After that, he still help to change the bedsheets and even wash some of the clothes. I think by the time he slept,it must be around 2am already.

And now while I’m blogging,he is busy fixing the hi-fi that he wants to put in the bedroom and checking the lights.

Maybe he finds more motivation and inspiration to do certain things at night or maybe he is just in the mood. I hope he will always be in the mood to do all the chores (which I really appreciate, esp in my current state).

Thanks Dear Dear… :)

Sweet Porridge

I do not know what inspired dear dear to be cooking porridge in the wee hours of the nite (like 11pm+). But that porridge was my breakfast to bring to work this morning.

I love the porridge – is the ‘ruan ruan lan lan’ kind (if u like, the Cantonese style kind). I really appreciate the gesture & that’s what dear dear usually portray his love language – Acts of Service.

When I asked him tonight, if it is only a one time event or can I expect more to come in the future, he said so long as I don’t grow sick & tired of it, not a problem to cook. Wow, what a great husband I have.

As to why porridge for breakfast, stay tuned for the next blog.. :P

Our V-day as married couple

Dear Dear and I have never really emphasize or go the extra mile or effort to celebrate V day as we find it too commercialized. We rather make extra effort on our anniversary or birthdays. Nonetheless, we will still spend some time together on this day during our dating days.

This year is the first V day that we spend as a married couple. When you are on a tight budget, you can still bless each other. So, Dear Dear & I bought each other a watch last week (not some super expensive watch but is the thought that counts). It does not hurt that I have always like watches and love collecting them.

Since we already bought something for each other, I wasn’t expecting anything else. Dear Dear will be working on Sun (i.e. 15 Feb) and have to be on duty at JW on Sat, so he kept asking me to go JW Sat svc..Well, he disclaimed that it was not because of my earlier blog. He said he long had that intention even before I wrote the blog (I shall give him credit for that).. Of course I went for JW Sat svc and did what all married couples did that day.

When I woke up on Sat morning, to my pleasant surprise, I found a box with 2 Care Bears inside (finally, they have arrived.. :) ). Dear Dear actually placed them beside me after I fell asleep. I thought that was so sweet of him.

Inexpensive gifts that touch my heart is better than gifts that are bought without giving thoughts to it.

To my dearest darling, thank you.

I expected that

One member asked me yesterday, “So Pst is preaching on romance,marriage & relationship,does it mean that he will get the married people to exchange their vows again like the marriage seminar he preached last yr?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure leh, maybe ba..” that was my reply. So she got excited & said, “Oh,that means you & Yew Weng will do that also,hahaha..”

I said, “No lor, my husband won’t bother about me cos he will be on duty, it won’t happen.” True enough, it turns out to be that way that he didn’t bother about me.

My member said, “Is ok, still got next wk, pst say got smthg special..” I said, “It still won’t happen to me, I can guarantee that.”

Love for a buddy

Today, I was surprised to see buddy at Expo cos her cg attend JW svc. What’s more surprising was she handed me a small little envelope & said that inside contains something she wants to bless me with & also the cards she return to me.

After going back to my seat & opening up the small little envelope,I found cash that buddy wanted to bless me with & a little hand-written note that says “Just wanted to bless u with something for the hse…”

I’m very touched & I feel very loved by my dear friend.
I really appreciate the gesture & the very thoughts & love behind it. It is not that amount but really a love for a buddy that really warms & touches my heart.

True friends are like diamonds – precious & rare.

Thank you,my buddy – one who has walked with me in the ups & downs of life, in different seasons of my life.

The man I love

I have always wanted to write & dedicate a post for hubby.

He’s so unique & special to me.

I’m always very thankful for the numerous times that he picked me & sent me home no matter how tired he may be. Just like today, I got locked up inside my parents’ place and I don’t have keys. The moment he reached punggol, he took the keys to my parents’ place to open the door for me, forgoing his dinner. This is a gesture that I always am thankful and appreciative of.

The times when he is the handy-man at home & I can count on him to fix stuff at home.

The times when he washed the toilet.

The times that he cooked dinner for me.

The times that he give in to my wimps & fancies.

The times when he will give me a massage when I pout.

The times when he helped with the house chores.

The times that he make me laugh.

The times when he said he believed in me.

The times when he encouraged me.

The times he stood by me when I’m sad.

The times that he rejoice with me.

The times when he give me a cheecky grin.

He’s generally a passive person but when being pushed to a corner, he will retaliate and spring into action.

He’s a quiet person by nature but when he speaks, the words and advice that he gives are words of wisdom.

He loves soccer very much and can stay up till the wee hours to catch his fave team playing.

He loves car so much that sometimes, I’m amazed at his knowledge.

Hubby loves food and he loves experiencing with food and trying out different receipes.

Hubby is someone who never keep track of his expenses until the he heard the sermon that Pst preaches (and also cos he’s married now, gota know the hsehold expense).

Hubby is so excited about our new house and started visualising how our new house is going to be ever since we paid the option fee. I think he has done a great job in settling the design & reno.

Although I always feel that I know hubby better than he knows me, but there have been occasions where I’m caught by surprise that he actually remembers what I said or like. Sometimes,he can even read my mind and know what I want to say or do. He also remembers the date we started knowing each other, the date that we got together officially.

Hubby always like to say this, “Is ok”..

This is my hubby – my best friend, my comforter, my pillar of support, my shelter. Just like what the bible says, “husbands are to love their wife,just as Christ love the church”.

Dear Dear, I know you will be reading this. This post is specially for you. Thank you for loving & accepting me the way I am. Thank you for always being there for me.

I love you.

Assumption vs Presumption

I remember a blog that my buddy ever wrote saying that some people are smart but not wise

I think some people assume and presume.
So which is worse – assumption or presumption?

My dear dedicate this for song to me

LOVE OF A LIFETIME

I guess the time was right for us to say
We’d take our time and live our lives together day by day
We’ll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
With love that we can share

With you I never wonder – Will you be there for me
With you I never wonder – You’re the right one for me

Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong

Nice places but never have I been there

Some people go to nice & interesting places with their friends but they have never bring their closed & loved ones there… Yet, everytime, the question being asked to me is, “Where do you want to go?” And when the reply is “don’t know” & the same question is being asked back, that party will also say, “I also don’t know”.. Is such an irony when that person has been to several interesting places that I have never even been to… Why can’t the person just bring me there?

Is it cos’ I’m not fun loving enough? Or is it cos’ the place holds too much “sweet” memories that I will be like an intruder if I ever visit the place? Or is it simply “bo chap”? Or ?????

Someone is at home

My mum used to wait for me & my brother whenever we will be home late. Even though she may be in bed already but once she hears the main door opening,she will just walk out of her bedroom to catch a climpse of me.

Or sometimes,she will call us when we are not home at a certain time & we did not let her know in advance. To be honest, sometimes, we do find the call a bit “mafan” & irriating. But I guess we hv grown & learnt to tell her in advance that we will be home late so that the calls stop coming in. I guess is a form of accountability to her & that’s what we as children can do to ease her worries.

Last night,I also waited & waited & waited for someone’s return. Unlike my mum, I don’t do the “call chasing or call tracking”. Until 11pm & someone still did not return, I gave up & decide to go and sleep. Inside my heart,I feel so much like saying, “Might as well come home after midnight..what’s the diff between 1140pm & 12am?”…

Already in the day,I was alittle unhappy over some pics that I saw (accidentally) and I actually endured not saying for many many many days.. So it doesn’t help that there was no accountability except the only phonecall at 630pm..

Of course it make things worse & the situation more tense when I got attacks of stomach pain that started in the late evening & till the wee hours.. The pain just come & go & I had to cringe myself & curled myself like a ball to ease the pain.. So,this makes the already unhappy me even more grouchy.

I shall not be like the Taiwan soap opera drama – I shall not wait… Sometimes,waiting doesn’t seem to pay..

I know this blog will be read by the intended audience & the allies but this is my blog – a place where is my space, a place for me to release my emotions, a place I called my own.. What’s the point in having a blog if whatever I write also need to be screened thru & there is no freedom of speech…
