Happiness

Everyday, I start out my day with a thought, "How can I can I make my Wife happy today?" My happiness if directly proportionate to Faith's. Though many may say that we are still floating in our newlywed bliss, I can hardly agree. We live a life of choices. Today, I can choose to be happy regardless what the repercussions are, as long as I am happy. Or I can make my Beloved happy & in return experience a totally different level of joy & satisfaction altogether. I choose the latter. Seeing my Beautiful laugh & smile is simply priceless.

I have been wanting to get Faith a pair of shades. We missed out on a funky red one from Coach, twice! Sigh... I am still keeping my eyes wide open. Too bad we are still so busy at work. When will our next shopping weekend be? {S}

My Wife is my pride

I have a wonderful Wife. She is charismatic, inspiring & exemplary. Her faithfulness is rooted on solid rock & her character is unwavering. She is really fun to be with & she is blessed with dazzling high dimples. Yup, I feel for her dimples, amongst many other qualities of hers!

Today, marked another milestone for Faith. She’s taken driving more seriously & finally tamed our Vios in her hands. She droved all the way from Sungai Buloh to Kemuning Utama flawlessly. I am proud of her. This if one of the many skills we never learnt in medical school. Soon, I can lay back & relax while she chauffeur me around.

Sweetheart, I am very proud of you and I am blessed beyond measure to be your Husband. I love you! {S}

CNY blast

It has been a decade since we last saw a reunion dinner that we had on February 13th. Lots of food to go around, heaps of laughter filled the air and best of all, our family that came together to celebrate this precious moment together. I hope these pictures will bring back smiles on your faces. We get so caught up with our daily routine that we forget the most important thing that matters the most, which is our family. This is what Chinese New Year is all about. It's to remind us of our roots, our upbringing, our bond & our love.

This is my Faith with her brothers, Wen Hong & Wen Kiat. They are really fun to be around with, & we learn economics from them. They are big eaters, but they weren't able to stomach down all the food we had that night, haha.

This is my brother, Max. We are missing the other mischief in our family, which is our dear sister. Otherwise, we are always trying to find something to do, like what you are seeing now... quenching our thirst from the aquarium. Boys will always be boys. We won't ever grow up, eh?

The Chinese were probably the happiest people on earth when February 14th rolled in. It was our first New Year as husband & wife, and our sixth Valentine's together. It was like other days when we held hands, cuddled & kissed. I didn't manage to get Faith any flowers this year, but I renewed my love and faithfulness to her. She has a Tiffany key hanging from her beautiful neck that constantly reminds her that she is the only one who holds the key to my heart. Oh yes, my heart still skip beats when I see her, my stomach is filled with butterflies whenever she kisses me, her scent arouses me and the touch of her skin sends warmth into my soul. This is the same Faith I can't stop falling in love with! I love you, Sweetheart!

Well, I had an extra bonus on New Year's. Faith got me a Durian-Durian cake from Secret Recipe to celebrate my belated birthday (February 10th) and our Valentine's. The cake was so big, it fed two families. One of them was Lil' Zoey, our niece. She stole the center stage that night. Our families were singing my birthday song to her while she clapped & sang along. Confusion started when everybody sung "Happy birthday to Staaaaacy". Wait... it was confusion to her, but consolation to me. At least everyone still remembered that I was the man of the moment.

I do not know anyone else who can eat as much food as the Chinese. Chinese New Year is not only about family, but it's also about food. Oh yeah, it's just eat, eat, eat & eat. We are blessed with high metabolic rates. Somehow we don't really know, nor understand where all that juice & meat go to. Today is the 12th day of the New Year. I see my belly smoothing out into a small hill instead of the 6-packs I've always dreamed of. I better get back to my Cardio routine before someone mistaken me to be 5-months pregnant.

Our Vios arrived earlier than we expected! We drove it home on February 20th and it is great. Faith & I have not gotten the chance to drive very far as we spend most of our time at work. I believe we'll start adding miles to our Vios when I go for Formula One medical team training next month. Faith promised to come visit me as often after work. She also promised not to drive like Filipe Massa. {S}

Moving on along...

The past one week has been great and I am so thankful for that. Now that the good stuff has passed, I am feeling so lonely and troubled again, not because of anything, but because I still cannot be with my precious baobei all the time.

Work has been taking up a lot of our time together because of the differences in our schedule. I do not mind the work, but rather I mind that I get separated from my Precious. Next week, we will only be seeing each other 2 times... and with that thought in mind I am so reluctant to work! Or do anything else!

I know my Precious has been encouraging me to go on, that all these are temporary. I also know that as long as I persevere and move on hanging onto good faith, things will eventually pass by and get better. I also know that this time is just temporary. But, it is still so hard...

Nevertheless, that does not mean I am giving up. I am still persevering, pushing on and moving on. I need to stay on and hang onto the faith that our love never fails and that God is our provider and our strength. We will make it through all hardships and challenges life poses us, together in our love.

My Sweetie is at work now, while I am at home. Tomorrow when I am away at work with on call, my Sweetie will be home. It is really odd but that's the nature of the profession. Really don't know if that's good stuff.

Great things do happen and are happening and I am still thankful and hopeful. We got out new car today, really cool! It is really great because we got it ourselves for ourselves. It is our Valentine gift to one another... that's great too!

Whatever that happens, I just have to be strong and stay positive. It is really hard, and even as I pen my thoughts down I am feeling this dread here. But, it is ok. I am not giving up!

Missing and loving my Baobei gives me strength... I really miss my dearest hubby!

I love my hubby BaoBei! {F}

Back to work

A week of celebration is coming to a close. Faith & I will be heading back to our respective forts tomorrow. It will be a long week ahead since we won't be having any weekend off to ourselves. Though we try not to think about it, it's still very difficult at times when we don't get to see each other a few days in the row.

We would like to share a glimpse of what has happened throughout our week with our families. I shall upload them tomorrow when Faith is at work since I'll only be starting work in the evening. Right now, I'd like to have some quiet time gazing at my Beautiful Wife and cuddling her in my arms... {S}

Chinese New Year with a loud roar!

Chinese New Year is the next best season after Christmas. It's a time when our family will gather together & have a blast. This is also our first Chinese New Year together since we got married! Coincidentally, Valentine's Day also falls on the same day as New Year's! Since we just placed down a huge downpayment for our Vios two days ago, we didn't have enough to pamper each other with roses & chocolates this year. However, we are still madly in love with each other! My Faith is becoming more & more beautiful with each passing moment & she still sends flutters to my heart. I can ask for no more than to wake up to butterfly kisses from my Precious Faith every morning.

Resolutions are made at the eve of every New Year, however, many of them were never fulfilled. We won't be making new resolutions this year as we try to improve ourselves everyday. Life is so fragile, so there is no need for us to set goals that would most likely stay as dreams. Everything will someday come to a past, but our love will remain. I may not be a millionaire (at least for now, haha), nor a celebrity. But one thing for sure, I am an irresistable Hubby to my Beautiful Wifey. I love my Faith, I lean on her, I desire after her, I yearn for her & I suffocate without her. I am who I am today because of the love that was shown unto me, thus in return, I want to love Faith even more! Our love in this Year of Tiger will speak volumes in action, passion & affection... that's a lot of roar to go around, ain't it?

Our Valentine's this year is spent with our families. Mom & Dad flew over from Kuching, Max came down from Kedah, Wen Hong just moved back from London & Wen Kiat is back from Singapore. We had New Year Eve dinner over at our place last night with my Dad in-law, Mom in-law, Wen Kiat & Wen Hong. The only ones absent were Vicky & Wen Tong. Tonight we had dinner over at my in-laws, joined with Kok Loon, Jen Jing & Zoey. We wrapped up our New Year dinners with Durian-durian cake for my belated birthday & our Valentine's. Not to mention all the hearty laughters, lengthy gossips & some (seriously, some) booze. {S}

What a day!

Today is a good day. We have finally bought our second car, a Toyota Vios (G) and have placed a 30% down payment. Our effort of meticulous saving has finally paid off. Now, we look forward to our Vios pulling into our driveway by Chap Goh Meh.

Faith & I had a good time this evening with my parents who are over from Kuching for a visit. Faith & I were entertained at how my Dad tried his best to be the man my Mom fell in love with. Mom had her eyes set on a blue skirt from British India, but was hesistant to purchase it due to its hefty price. Dad somewhat wanted to make her happy by buying it for her. They created a scene in British India; Mom kept saying how expensive it was (duh, it was made of silk!) and Dad on the other hand, kept reassuring her that it looked fabulous on her! Final verdict, Dad bought the lovely blue skirt for her and Mom walked about with a huge grin on her face.

We then went to Itallianes for dinner. My Faith and Dad ordered a cocktail each, which Mom finally decided to drink the whole of Dad's. The ambience was perfect & the food was so filling Dad staggered away with a distended belly. There were lots of laughter, loud talking and love. Yup, that's a wonderful way of ending our night together, eh? {S}

Life is a miracle

We pass by so many goodness in life without ever realizing them till we lose them. We never appreciate the blessings bestowed upon us & sigh about the past that could never be changed. We are seldom thankful for the second chances we have today. And, nevertheless, we are naive & complacent to the excitement & challenges that lay before us.

Who could have ever imagined that 2 distinct people from different backgrounds & geographical origins could fall madly in love with each other, looking past various deficiencies & flaws? Faith & I fell in love at first sight. Today, after 6 years of being together, we still fall in love with each other... madly, passionately & unconditionally. Our love is built on a foundation that cannot be shaken. Yes, our love is built on these 3 words, "Love Never Fails".

I did not hear the alarm rang this morning. I did not smell the coffee brewing in our kitchen. I did not feel the morning dew. However, I was woken up with butterfly kisses. I smelt a familiar daisy scent of my Love wishing me Happy Birthday with a song. I was in her embrace of love. I am very blessed, and I am very thankful to have Faith as my Lovely Wife. My Precious Faith, this blog is my gift to you, a memoir of our journey together. {S}
