On the occasion of our 10th anniversary as a couple. May we grow as a couple in holiness, accepting our stations in life. For there is no better way than to be where exactly He has created us to be at each day. And when sufferings come our way, may we humbly recognize where we’ve […]

10 years of being a team
Today, Henry and I celebrate our 10th anniversary of being a couple. And true to our pattern, there are no special plans whatsoever. We had in fact taken the day off, but are both needed back at work today, and in capacities which we cannot responsibly shirk off. So he’s returning to work this morning […]
Late night 'television'
Once, in reply to an observation that we had no TV in the master bedroom, the husband had cheekily replied, “We are each other’s TV.” Last night Zibin had a late meeting after his course ended so I attended Fr. Arro’s talk without him. Upon arriving home at 11:20p.m. and looking very tired, Zibin asked […]
It's the little things
The husband played soccer at work today. And as he hurried into the bathroom to take a shower before we leave for the Alpha Course in church, he told me that he needs to return the soccer jersey tomorrow. That meant that we would have to start the washing machine before we leave home so […]
Of magical late night conversations
When you’re married, it’s easy to settle into a comfortable but repetitive pattern of day to day living. Sometimes, a sudden change in rhythm can do wonders to inject a delightful sparkle when you don’t expect it.

Intimacy

4 August 2008
We started our anniversary celebration with a rather over-dressed breakfast at the West Coast Park McDonalds. Then, we were off to the Singapore Flyer where we finally got to use the 2 open tickets hubby previously bought. It was good to go on a Monday morning when there was no crowd to jostle with! I […]
Never enough
Even though I see you everyday, these days it never seems enough. We’re always busy doing things that need to be done, spending time with people we need to spend time with… even though I love that we can do all these things together, still, I miss having more quality time alone with you. Time […]
Tucked In
These days, you’ve been leaving for work before I wake up. Dimly through the fog of sleep, I feel you tuck the comforter around me and kiss me on my forehead before you go. And right then, even before I’m fully awake, I start missing you. In that simple action of tucking me in, you […]
I Miss…
I miss knocking off from work and coming home to find you waiting for me… I miss coming home to a nice hot meal that you prepared… I miss the tasty soups that you make… I miss telling you all about what happened at work… I miss hearing you tell me interesting stories about your […]
