They say opposites attract. That is so true for us.
I'm the enthusiastic and over-the-top personality while the hubby's more chillax and cool. I love to talk non-stop while the hubby talks only when required. I speak my mind all the time while the hubby only shares his true thoughts with people close to him. I love to take slow walks while he likes to walk as if a hungry tiger is on his heel (we had to adjust our pace to accommodate each other after we got together)!
Nine years ago on 7 September, I said yes to be his girlfriend. Four years ago on 2 May, I said yes to be his wife. From the time we were together till now, he had always known what I wanted before I said it.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked me one day when we were having dinner at a nearby hawker centre in the good old days when we were poor and a date meant taking the bus and eating cheap hawker food.
"I don't know. I feel like eating something but I don't know what I want to eat," I replied. (I can see you rolling your eyes!) I know, decisiveness was never my strong trait!
The then-boyfriend-now-hubby just shrugged, walked away and came back with the sugar cane juice I was craving for! =)
When I was pregnant with Baby Boy, the baby (ok fine, me..) suddenly had a really strong craving for tasty durian. And what do you know? When I got home, the durian was sitting on the table waiting for me. It's like he can read my mind! *laughs*
Of course later my buddy at work tells me that it's not difficult to read my mind because it's always out there and open for everyone to read!
Anyway..
The only thing I asked God for at 18 years old was for Him to give me a husband and children. Not career. Not money. Family :)
And God gave me a husband who really gets me. We both want the same things and have the same goals. Although he's not a typical romantic (he's really practical!), he always sensitive to my (really strong) hints whenever I need him to do something special :)
To the father of my 2 beautiful babies, you have made my dream of a complete family come true! I love that we now celebrate Valentine's Day (and Lunar Valentine's Day) changing diapers, breastfeeding and controlling a very active toddler in the restaurant where others are having romantic dinners. Our dinner may not be romantic but it's just the way I wanted it! Love you deep :D
Happy Valentine's Day!
