Alamak! 3 Years Oready!

Dearest B!

Time flies eh, and its been 3 years.

Just recounting the days last night, and i still found it amazing that:

1) We were friends for 5 years
2) Dated for the next 7 years
3) Married for 3 years after that.

That's 15 years of our lives together. If we had a kid when we first met (holy cow.. scandalous!!!), he/she would be a teenager by now! Instead, we were the guai guai kias and now then have little bump.

Okie, so life had been crazy on and off. We literally grew up together, both age-wise and "tummy-wise", and it hasn't been the easiest journey (friends could attest to that i think, and our families). But then, we perservered and seems like we are going to go the next step together, being parents! Scary isn't it?

Though we have only been married for 3 years but i don't think we can look back and not see those years before the wedding because, it seems like we were married a longer time than just 3. Just look at the number of endearments we have worn off over the years... mewmew, mm, xiongmewmew, xmm, mookmook, dearie, wifey, hubby, B, BB, etc etc etc... Till finally, it may be just.. 老伴，老太婆...

Both of us aren't the model husband model wife type of people, i know. But i think we can safely say, we are OUR type of people. I am crazy enough for you, and you are patient enough for me. And we make each other laugh... most of the time. :) We have drifted apart.. came together and entertained flitting thoughts of whether this would work, and before either of us knew it, it seemed to have.

B, i know i don't tell you this often (no.. not "I love you".. i say that almost everyday!) but i am really proud of you. I am also grateful for the changes and sacrifices that you have had to make for me (and now for little bump) though i wish that you didn't have to. You have always been the patient and more emotionally stable one between the two of us. And though i nag about your tendency to care about the feelings of every other people and disregarding your own (occasionally mine), i am proud that you are the big-hearted person that you are, which i can never quite do the same.

After all, you settled into those quirks my family has, eat the food my mother cooks and talk cock with my bros even while you know i struggled to do the same with yours. We are that different but you accepted me (and my village). It still amazes me how those aunties can just TALK to you when they don't even talk to me! Yes, you sometimes get abit rigid about certain things and values which i know i don't quite share nor understand but then, there would be times when i would have drowned in endless frustration if not for your timely mediation and comfort.

In short, my life would have been a lesser place without you around.

It's been 3 years eh, but i think it ought start to get fairly interesting from henceforth. You may think it is the hormones talking but heck, i am really feeling like we are in a good place together now.

So continue to walk, hop, skip and jump with me, yes?

Ho Ho Ho.. as your PM said, "More good years ahead!"
