I was in Starbucks with my hubby darling the whole of this afternoon to do some work. The outlet was playing a lot of romantic oldies. While most songs made me very very sleepy, there were a few classic ones that I like. Suddenly, they played my wedding march in song very lightly in the background. I could recognize the song immediately. You know how sometimes a certain song or scent can suddenly bring a lot of memories back to you? Songs usually does that to me because my auditory sense is stronger than visual. I had one of those moments when I heard this song.
When my sister suggested this song to me, it was easy for me to decide there and then. It’s such a romantic and happy song. I had my band’s saxophone player ushering us in while playing this lovely song. The melody was good for saxophones. Perfect! I’m grateful to the Universe for making one of the most important moments in my life to be incredibly perfect. (Although I almost tripped over my dress when I first stepped into the ballroom, I managed to prevent it and pulled it off without being obvious. My emcee was the only one who noticed and teased me about it at the end of the night, though.)
Here are some shots of the march in.
Marriage life is great. I am grateful and feel very blessed.
With Christmas just around the corner, I’m feeling excited and all. Although I do not have anything planned for Christmas this year, I just can’t help myself but to feel all the joyous vibes everywhere.
This year, my hubby will not be getting me a romantic Christmas gift. Instead, I’ve requested for domains. He can buy me something big for Christmas next year when all my domains are making money. Today, I bought 9 domains. Yesterday, I bought 4. 4 days ago, I bought 3. Hahaha. Oh my, I’m going to be very busy for the coming weeks.
I heard this over the radio the other day, it made me teared. Lovely song. This will also be my grown-up Christmas list. Try listening to it, absorb all the emotions and wish for the same thing.
I just received the most expensive wedding gift yesterday (in terms of monetary). In fact, it is the second most expensive gift I’ve ever received. First one was my education sponsored by my dad. Second one is also from my dad. My wedding gift. It’s overwhelming. While I have some feelings of regret and guilty, I am trying to remind myself that letting other people buy you something is also a gift by itself. They will feel happy and we shouldn’t rid them of such happiness.
Nevertheless, I love it! I feel a little bit of pressure carrying it around. People who know me know that I am not one of those who are crazy about branded things. Most people (those who can’t afford it but still want to cut their legs for it) need branded stuff only as a tool to make themselves feel significant. I don’t need all those. I’m define by who I know I am inside. That’s all that matters. I really don’t need anyone else to give me approval in that area. Hence, this gift is something extraordinary and I’m just not used to it. lol. However, I know it will be my lucky charm and will accompany me for all important events for the rest of my life.
Thanks, dad! I love you.
P/s: My resolution now is to make as much money as possible from Internet Marketing and buy something really extravagant back for dad and my parents in law!
Day 7 of our strict diet and we’re getting used to it. Today, we tried frying rice with just vege, liquid amino and rock salt. I was unsure if this adventurous trial will be too bland because there’s no egg/meat/soy sauce. Turned out to be tasty.
Hubby and I have been watching relationship videos from Tony Robbins. It’s wonderful how he helped to turn around married couples who are going to split up. I’ve learnt so much and also asked myself how I can improve my marriage. Honestly speaking, this whole getting married thing isn’t really one smooth process. We’ve been fighting about many things before we went to Australia. It was very frustrating and I had a lot of doubts in my head.
Now, I have some wonderful tips in my hand on how to maintain a passionate relationship. I understand why I’ve been feeling so miserable. My sense of responsibility is so strong. From young, my parents turned to me when they needed someone responsible in my house. They reinforce this behavior by verbally rewarding me. When I started working, I began to put on a masculine mask in the society so that people won’t think I’m weak. I used to not accept it when people said I’m not capable because I’m a woman. These two qualities I’ve held on to has put off the feminism in me. When I bring them into my relationship, I felt so miserable. Feminism is my true identity but I’m going against it everyday for survival. In fact, I am quite a motherly person. No joking. I know now that I need to tone down my masculinity when I’m with him and embrace my feminism. I trust that my hubby will take care of me and he has assured me. I must be the luckiest person on earth.
I actually enjoy wedding planning. There’s just so much to look forward to. I was very picky and choosy earlier, wanting to take care of all the minor details. I wanted it to be perfect. Now, I feel more relaxed because I know at the end of the day, it’s not about the wedding. It’s about the marriage. I can’t wait to enjoy my wedding and excited that we both have a wonderful life to experience together.
Today, I bought 9 domains. Yesterday, I bought 4. 4 days ago, I bought 3. Hahaha. Oh my, I’m going to be very busy for the coming weeks.
