Happy Anniversary

 
It was fate that brought us together 5 years ago.  And today, we are back at where we first met at SAM - Singapore Art Museum.  It has brought back so much fond memories.  Our first "Hi" and Smile...  Oh well, time really flies.  I still remember my fiance was so the very shy kind of guy and that left a deep impression in me.  His persistence and sincerity touches my heart and I'm so glad we hit off so well.


Since the day we've met I cry a little less, laugh a little harder and smile all the more. Happy 5th Year Anniversary Hubbs! #thankgodifoundyou

As we move on to a new phase of life together, it's very important we make a conscious effort to learn to become a better person for our partner.  I came across this article, "Why Marriages Go Wrong." The following is a questionnaire from that article. You may find it worthwhile to answer these questions, giving yourself 10 points for each question you can answer affirmative.
For Husbands
1. Do you still "court" your wife with an occassional gift of flowers, with remembrances of her birthday and wedding anniversary, or with some unexpected attentioned, some unlooked-for tenderness?
2. Are you careful never to criticize her before others?
3. Do you give her money to spend entirely as she chooses, above household expenses?
4. Do you make an effort to understand her varying feminine moods and help her through periods of fatigue and irritability?
5. Do you share at least half of your recreation hours with your wife?
6. Do you tactfully refrain from comparing your wife with your mother or ex-girlfriends?
7. Do you take a definite interest in her intellectual life, her clubs and societies, the books she reads, her views on civic problems?
8. Can you let her receive friendly attention from other men without making jealous remarks?
9. Do you keep alert for opportunities to praise her and express your admiration for her?
10. Do you thank her for the little jobs she does for you, such as sewing on a button, darning your socks, and sending your clothes to the cleaners?
For Wives
1. Do you give your husband complete freedom in his business affairs, and do you refrain from criticizing his associates, or the hours he keeps?
2. Do you try your best to make your home interesting and attractive?
3. Do you make special effort to cook his favorite dishes?
4. Do you have an intelligent grasp of your husband's business so you can discuss it with him helpfully?
5.Can you meet financial reverses bravely, cheerfully, without criticizing your husband for his mistakes or comparing him unfavorably with more successful men?
6. Do you make special effort to get along amiably with his mother and other relatives?
7. Do you dress with an eye for your husband's likes and dislikes in colour and style?
8. Do you compromise little differences of opinion in the interest of harmony?
9. Do you make an effort to learn games of your husband like, so you can share his leisure hours?
10. Do you keep track of the day's news, the books, and new ideas, so you can hold your husband's intellectual interest?

Let's Celebrate - Le Bistrot

B and I have always love exploring new places together and last month we decided to head to Le Bistrot for some French cuisine in celebration of his birthday. The restaurant is surprisingly laidback and quiet. Despite the good reviews which I've read about, personally I ain't impressed. Not a place I would recommend for quality French cuisine though I love their very friendly service staff.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Happy Birthday B.

What doesn't break you only make you stronger...

What does true love really mean to you?

 

What is love?

Despite what science has taught us, generally people do not want to understand the true nature of the most powerful force in the world.

Rather they believe in the Hollywood myth - glamour, physical beauty, poetic passion; the chase, the capture and the surrender.

It may be thrilling but it can never be love.

Well at least that is what I believe.

There will less heartache and disillusion in relationships if we open ourselves to a deeper and abiding love.

By sponteneouly expressing our real self and create an enviroment which allows us to flourish intellectually and emotionally.

The more we can be comfortable with our real self infront of our partner, the more deeply we can love.

There should never be fear of misunderstanding.

Do you ever feel you're in love because of the way he/she makes you feel?

But do you know that love should not be delight in "ME" but a self-realization together in "US"?

Two mutually infatuated people can want each other desperately without love from blind delight.

 And you know true love is not so blind.

It sees faults as well as virtues, accepting the fact that no one is perfect.

Let's face the differences in each other's energy and tempo and that it'll annoy us both till we learn to deal with them.

It's despite these difficulties, we see so much value in each other that we can surely create a life far better than what either of us could achieve alone.

Frustrations are inevitable and understanding is key.

A deep and abiding love is the emotional response to an intellctual recoganition of the truth of another.

Its development is a irregular one.

The art of love is patience till the spring returns.

 

Real love grows as years go by.

The very experience of loving will lead to the discovery of how to love better.
