My Love Story

Finally, I remember THE day.
No celebrations, no gifts for several years,
but did it really matter?


It has been nine years,
It started with just the two of us,
and now there are three more little us.
When I look into their eyes, I see us.
They are the most precious gifts,
don't you think so?


Although we were in the same school for six years,
nothing actually happened.
I knew you and you knew me,
but the only thing lacking was the sparks


A call changed everything.
My heart was pounding very fast when you called me that night.
Sorry, I made you waited so long,
although it was not a marriage proposal,
but I had to be sure before I said yes - to be your girlfriend.


It's amazing that we started with us being apart,
studying in different countries.
Many said that it won't work,
but it worked, didn't it?


My suitors didn't give up,
when they knew I had you.
but they couldn't do anything
as I reserved my heart only for you.


We made our friends wonder,
why you and me would make a couple.
Til now, nobody seems to get the answer.

I was your first and you were my first.
Some may say we were silly to be married to our first love
when we should have tried a few and pick and choose
but hey, we were very sure that it would work out,
We were sure of our love.


I'd like to tell you that I have never regretted being with you,
and I know you have not regretted marrying me either.

I love you darling!

*Every woman would look her best in wedding photos.*
*Don't trust wedding photos!*

Now, age has caught up with us.
We do not look like this anymore.
When we grow old and have wrinkles,
we will proudly tell our grandchildren
our love story.

I Hate My Husband!!!

NO!!!! How can I possibly hate him? He is such a wonderful husband who doesn’t smoke, doesn’t gamble and doesn’t womanize.


When I received this tag from Shannon’s Mummy about the 10 things I hate about my husband, I kept thinking and thinking and until now, I still can’t find anything that I hate about him. One day, I asked him: “What do you hate about me?” He looked at me and said: “Nothing. There is nothing I hate about you.” You know, I was hoping that he would say something to start the fire in me burning so that I would have something to hate him for but …


So, here I am writing this post with a blank mind, not knowing my direction.


Well, my hubby has lots of weaknesses but I guess over the years, I have gotten used to his ways and his habits. Marriage is all about compromising and accepting each other’s weaknesses, isn’t it?


No, I did not marry a tall, dark and handsome prince who can swirl and dance and utter romantic words in my ears. Instead, I am happily “stuck” with a man who is so practical that sometimes I wonder whether his head ruled or his heart ruled when he married me. Off course, I would not complain because I think my head rules too.


Being an Asian, he is definitely in the list of men who help around in the house. He is also a father who would spend time with his children, playing and educating them whenever he could spare some time. Although he sometimes scolds the children when the soft approach fails, he loves them dearly. He has this special power to turn the crying kids (after scolding) into laughing kids with his sense of humor and make the kids forgive and forget.


Come to think of it, it is pretty amazing that I married my first love and he married his first love too! It has been seven years, going to be eight and we have three lovely children. We talk about our marriage often and we appreciate our relationship very much.


So, does he have the qualities of a good husband (One of Tot's Mom's posts)? To me, he definitely qualifies as my husband but do I have the qualities of a good wife? That, I would have to hear from him.
