On 9th Sept 2009..

Yesterday marks the special once in a lifetime (well, at least for my lifetime) day. Besides being the 9th day of the 9th month in the 9th year of 2000, its also my bro-in-law's wedding day with Grace.

It was indeed a very hectic and tiring day. None the less it was a joyous day for everyone in the family. After much planning and anticipation, the day has finally arrived especially for the happy couple. Helping out in the event brings back many fond and memorable moments for me and hubby. It just seems like yesterday we were the ones getting married and now with a blink of an eye its already a year fast forward. Both me and hubby have fun being apart of the whole family event. Even when it means minimal sleep, loads of stress and the scorching sun frying our brains out which feels like 40' Celsius at its peak.

Hubby and another friend of mine played paparazzi for the day tagging along the official photographer on the day's event proper. The final binding moments happens over a courtyard on the 4th floor at Holiday Inn. With the setting sun as the perfect backdrop, vows were exchanged and tears of joy filled the air. The groom sealed his vows with a very passionate yet loving kiss and the feast begins moments later.

Wishing both David and Grace the most wonderful things in the world and may their blissful marriage be blessed with love from all of us who cares for them.

Congratulations!

1 year gone and many more years to come

Before we knew it, we have already reached our 1st anniversary today. Nothing fancy as both me and hubby just wanted to have some "us" time at home. I guess for the past year, things were pretty hectic for both of us. Arranging for the marriage, looking for a house, getting the right reno, adjusting to the whole concept of being together as man and wife with tons and tons of responsibility and added stress. Work was stressful and even keeping the job was hard. Come to think of it, it's been tough on us. Internal and external factors adds on to the endless hurdles that seems to be firing at you like a round of paintball game. A hit, is an instant bruise.

Looking back at the 1 year together, we both have our ups and downs. We share crazy giggles as well as heart breaking arguments that eventually lead to cold wars. Harsh words were exchanged but nothing as compared to the mushy words we have for each other. The yin and yang of life. Good + Bad = Reality ( Good - Bad = Fantasy). If only life were like a box of chocolate. Dark Chocolates to be precise. Though full of surprises, it always leaves you with a tint of sweetness to it. Don't we all just wish for it to turn out that way all the time?

I don't know about you.. but to me, to go through the 1st year is hard. It's a time when everything seems to be real and the old seems to be so new all of a sudden. It's a trying time for both I suppose.

Am glad that me and hubby manage to pull this through.

Thank you Baby for the wonderful year and looking forward for many more to come. Be assure that I will always be there if you need me, supporting you in any ways.
