Early Xmas

Happy 18th Monthversary

Yeee..we are in 18th months.
In this special moment, I gave him a special gift - a board games," I'm the Boss"
I knew that he loved board games, this gift was also a token of my appreciation, apology and Christmas present.
Romance and expressing our love in action were two of essential elements in the relationship.

I wrote a thank you and apology card. It reflected appreciation, forgiveness, caring and affection. It will be stucked forever inside our heart, mind and life. We won't forget little things that touched our heart.

I'm so blessed in having him beside me, he always supports and teaches me about life, patient, hope and of course love.
Thanks God for this special man whom You created.
Our journey is still long to go, but we believe that God will guide us until the day He bless us in our marriage.

We will celebrate our 18th months at Il-Lido, Italian Restaurant :)

What is the purpose of Marriage?

This morning I've read an article - Marriage - Phobia. It's an article about a young lady who is planning to get married and pray that after her return from overseas she can learn about what marriage life is from her parents.
Unfortunately, she was in disbelieved because her parents marriage life was not as smooth as she thought.

She questioned God what is the purpose of getting married? is it happiness? accompanion? has somebody that can make her happy forever and ever?
Finally God told her that marriage is not the purpose of life, it's just another journey for persons who have been chosen to experience the marriage life as a learning journey in life.

The purpose of life should be for God and God's glory only.
This article simply reminded me to reflect back what's the purpose of getting marriage.
Is it because most of my friends already getting married? is it because of status? is it because of my desire to buy the house? or is it because of God's glory?

Can I cope with the challenges that will be coming in our way? 

Can I take greater responsibility as a wife and mother? 

Can I sacrifice myself to submit my whole life to my husband? 

Am I ready to live simple and humble if we don't have money or even downgrade to stay in the small house?

Thanks God for this article so I could reflect back and ask myself about what marriage is all about.

Marriage is not just being together, having sex and building family, or happily ever after as in the fairy tale story.

Like what he said, marriage is sacred. It happens because of God's will for us to be together to continue our journey and purpose to find God's will in every aspect of our life

God, as a couple, we have plan to get married either next year or 2 years later however we trust and surrender everything to You 
You know what's best for us and guide us to know Your will and follow it thoroughly.
Thanks God

The gift of love

I would like to give thanks to God for reminding us about the sacred gift that has been given to us 17 months ago which is the gift of love.
After sometimes, we had tendency to take one another for granted and have high expectation until in the end it hurt one another.

Yesterday night when I reflected back 17 months ago, I have been dreaming to have a nice and kind hearted guy. I never imagined that I would meet him.

Indeed, God has given him to be part of my life more than what I could imagine.
He's always beside me, supporting and teaching me about life and even he always apologises first even though he doesn't do something wrong.

Instead of appreciating him, I took him for granted and expected more from him.

Along the way, we reflected and admitted our mistakes and apologised to each other. We started a new and fresh again with love, appreciation and understanding.

Yeahhh we have dreams to buy house, get married and believe that we are  in the journey toward our dream. We believe that God has beautiful plan more than we could imagine. We hold our hands together  to achieve our dream.

Thank you Lord for Your blessing, love that You have poured to us.
Let us learn to love each other more and more everyday as our desire to love You in every breath that we take.

A Dream of A Girl

It has been a while after discussing and planning about buying new house, I wrote this back.
I felt that there was just simply a plan only...
When I see my friends who were getting married or have been married, I ask myself when is my turn ? 

I know it's still long long time to wait..I can't push him either...
When one of my colleagues told me how his husband last time proposed to her, gave surprise to her during the wedding....I just simply ask myself...will he give me a surprise...will he proposes to me...

Maybe I expect too much from him...he's trying his best to accumulate the wealth...
He may be thinking to get married however he has his own hurdle which is financial issues.

Well, it's just simply my dream as a girl...
I have a reason why I want to get married or buying the house
Next year on May I need to move house, finding a new place to rent is ridiculous.
I will spend S$500-S$1,000 and not sure if the landlord and place suit me.

My plan is actually buying a small house or getting married so we can stay together for about 2 years without children. We will need to get to know each other better and save money before having children.
But he may have different plant.

I am not sure whether he knows what I want.

As a girl, I can't expect much or perhaps to propose him ?? 
I keep everything in my heart and wait till the day comes.

Happy 17th months

Well, our relationship has been 17 months now.
There have been ups and downs and we get used to each other and all become like a routine.
There's no chirping bird or bell ringing. Perhaps we are too busy with our work and forget the romance.

Sometimes, I missed those early days when we just met, a lot of hugs, surprises, and we always remember the day we met.

Now, everything is different, my life becomes so routine and I have no quiet time to reflect and give thanks little things that God gave to me.
There's my inner want to start family however I still have a doubt.

It may not all about financial issues, it's more about my readiness whether I will be able to be a good wife and mother and spend the rest of my life with him.
When we talk a little bit serious about starting family, I'm not sure as well whether he's ready for that.

But if this relationship is going to nowhere, there's no point to continue and everything becomes memory.
Well, I just give this relationship to the Creator. If He decides that it's time to discuss it a bit serious and starts the family, He will open the way.

Bali Adventures and 15th monthversary

Yeahhh we managed to achieve 15th monthversary and celebrated it in Bali.
We enjoyed ourselves, recharged, rejuvenated and did adrenaline activities.
This vacation was indeed really special.

We arrived on Wednesday, 8 Aug at 9.40pm and had Nasi Liwet for supper.
The next day, we went to my grandma's house, bought some souvenirs, had massage and strolled at the Kuta beach.

The third day, we joined Bounty Day Cruise at Lembongan Island.
We went to semi submarine boat whereby we could see the sea creatures closely then we went to the village for seaweed farm and and had a memorable experience looking how they harvested the seaweed.
After buffet lunch, we did canoing, banana boat and snorkling. I really enjoyed snorkling very much. In the afternoon we went back to main island and during the journey back we were throwing up because of the big wave. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves.

The fourth day, we went to Sea Walker at Sanur beach, it's really amazing, we could touch the fish and saw how beautiful they were.  I almost cried when I could touch them and amazed God's works. After that we went to Bedugul and did Bali Treetop, it's really challenging but fun.

The fifth day, we went back to Singapore and came back to reality.

We really enjoyed this vacation and Thanks God for giving us this opportunity to praise Your works and enjoyed Your handicrafts.

Thanks God and Happy 15th Monthversary.
