Diary - 21st September 2010

In the middle of the night when everyone is fast asleep,  I can't seem to get to sleep.  Tomorrow marks the 3rd wedding anniversary with my dear hubby.  We had a simple yet memorable evening together.  Though we did not dine in a romantic restaurant, we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.  I guess it is the companionship that matters most of all.

After a fulfilling dinner, we had a stroll discussing on how we could have curbed our temper and managed our time better in the past year.  After an enjoyable walk we went home at around 9plus hoping Ryan would have already been put to bed by my efficient MIL.
We could always count on her in times of our need.

Planning for the evening's program wasn't easy.  We spent 12 years together.  We were constantly looking for new and exciting things to do.. There weren't much that we did not venture into.  I also had trouble finding a gift for Raymond as he seems to have everything he needs.  Things that are on his wishlist were mostly too costly for me to handle.

Luckily I had some time on my hands since he had to work slightly longer than usual.  Walking aimlessly, I stumbled upon a Topman boutique.  I suddenly recalled that he recently developed a liking for long sleeve t-shirts.  So I got him 2 pieces of different designs.

Just before I went to bed, many things came to my mind.  I remembered our wedding day.  All the hassle of choosing the right outfit, the right helpers, etc... Two significant people came to my mind almost immediately.  They are our hainanese pals - Zhong Hui & Ivy.

All thanks to them, our wedding fell into place the way they were meant to be.  We didn't request for their help in advance, but after knowing that we had some trouble with our helpers, they immediately volunteered their services without us asking.  For that, I am eternally grateful to them.  Thanks gals!

As usual, the sotong bride forgot to arrange for many things.  The simplest things like signature pens, tea ceremony items, etc... They literally saved our day! (Or rather saved my husband from having to face a post-wedding bridezilla) LOL

As I am typing away in the night, both my darlings - hubby & son are fast asleep in their own beds.  I am thankful to GOD for many things that happen in my life.

I thank GOD for bring my husband to me.
I thank GOD for giving me a lovely son.
I thank GOD for giving me the courage to face any adversary that may come along my way.
I thank GOD for the loving family that I have.

One day, maybe just one day, I will finally learn to be the catholic my mom always wants me to be.  But until then, I am happy just the way I am.
I love my husband and my son.  I do hope they love me as much as I do.  Nothing else matters as long as I have my family with me.

Finally, I'm getting tired.  I'll end my super lengthy diary here.... For now.
