Mood: In Love**

I just love weddings and that is what I’m doing in Singapore this week. Attending my niece’s wedding ceremony.

I love everything about wedding… the bride and groom, the bridal dais, the flowers, the guest with the glamorous clothing and of course the food! I also love the mood that it sets me in.. all lovey and romantic as I reminisced my own wedding and the feelings that enveloped me on that day.. and since I’m in the mood for love… here’s a quiz that tells me..

My Love is Blue

When you love someone, you give your heart entirely to them. You believe love is an unconditional, unselfish act. (Sooo true… I give My ALL) You don’t love half-way. You are “all in” whenever you are in love, and you don’t hold back. (nope.. i don’t hold back!) You find it easy to fall in love. You accept people as they are, and you even can love someone’s flaws. (I love the good and all the flaws.. the same way I expect them to do the same to me ) Because you are so loving and caring, you are incredibly easy to love in return. Your heart is open and ready to be filled. ( I hope so!. Do you love me?..lol!)

What Color Is Your Love?

And here’s a shout out to my niece, Erwani and her husband, Irwan, who got solemnized today at about 4.30pm.
May they have a lifetime of happiness and love!

Cheerio…

Lucky in Love**

When I hooked up with Azwaj online, it wasn’t because I was looking for love. In fact it was the furthest thing on my mind. I had just fallen out of love and trying to sort out the mess I was in.. so nope.. love was not on the list. All I wanted was to have fun, clear my mind and soul and just forget about what had happened.

In a way, we were friends first before becoming lovers and like they say, that is always the best kind. And to find love on the net… wow.. that is something I never thought happened to me.

However, not everyone shares the same luck as I did. I hear horror stories of women and even men getting cheated and not only were their hearts broken, their bank account share the same fate as well, just like this woman that I read about today.

So whilst it was a drain on both our finances – there were no sms or video chat when we were dating – at least, our love story was a sweet one…..

You Have The Key To My Heart *

My Darling Azwaj..

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary. Time sure flies when you’re in marital bliss they always say and in our case, it rings true. We’ve had our ups and downs as any married couple would go through but we held on to our love and persevered through it all.

I remember our wedding day so vividly. Though it was raining, that didn’t dampen the mood of the happy and momentous occasion. Food was served, music was played and the especially prepared “Pantun” by Abah was read out loud and clear. Yes.. I remember it all, just like I remember our fight first, our first make up and lots of our other firsts ;)….

Here’s to eternity darling Azwaj coz You Have The Key To My Heart!

I love you FOREVER!!!

Happy Anniversary Darling

Dear Azwaj:

Today marks the 9th year of our marital bliss together. We’ve gone through it all.. joy, sorrow, ups and down and somehow our love has been steadfast while we accept the challenges that God has thrown our way. We hold steadfast in our promise to forever be each other pillar of strength through whatever

Out of My Dreams Came You!

Continuing the anniversary countdown….

Unfortunately I’m not as artistic or creative as Azwaj to write him a song but I found this poem by Susan Leilani and I feel that it really describe the way I feel when Azwaj came into my life.. So this one is for you, my Love…

And Out of My Dreams Came You!
by Susan Leilani

Deep in the silence, one nightfall
When the moon sat still, shone bright,
Came the utterance of one single moonbeam
At my window… tapping, ever so light;

And in the flicker of one swift instant
I felt its warming embrace;
It encompassed me and then I trembled
As before me appeared your sweet face.

Then the radiance of that gentle smile,
The love shining soft in your eyes,
Began to penetrate with the moonlight
Straight through me, to deafen my cries.

Now, no longer am I ever lonely.
With each nightfall there’s you and love’s true:
In the darkness I seek out my moonbeam
And out of my dreaming… comes you!

Cheerio…

Azwaj's Song

Counting down to our 8th anniversary next month.. I thought it would be nice to retrace our love story.. our beginning I guess…

Me and Azwaj knew each other from a chat room. The Malaysian room to be exact. That room was always so active. Lots of activities, lots of chatters. So when I first joined the room, I had my own cliques, while he had his own. We would exchange greetings and that would be it.

But what fascinated me to him was that he would always “sing” in the room. What I mean is, he would type the lyrics to songs that were “in” at the time. One song that was a big hit that time was “I don’t want to miss at thing” by Aerosmith (that eventually became our song btw..)

Anyway..one day he “PM” me and we started to chat…and chat…and chat.. and after some time we eventually started calling each other.

Then one day he told me he wrote me a song. Can you imagine my excitement? He said he would call me later that night to sing it to me… I was on cloud nine the whole day.

Here’s the lyrics to the song…. just a quick note though…my id was t@ti@n@ (just love the name, don’t know why) then and the song was in Malay..ok…hehehe

Tercipta suatu lagenda (So started a story)
Antara aku dan si dia (about me and her)
Tak pernah ku temui (someone I’ve not met)
Tak pernah ku kenali (someone I’ve not known)

Namun hatiku selalu bertanya (But my heart keep asking)
Siapakah gerangan si dia (who is she?)
Mencuri hatiku dalam bicara (the one who stole my heart with her words)
Mungkinkan mimpi ataupun nyata (is this truth of fantasy?)

Adakan aku bersandiwara (am I fantasizing?)
Mencari mimpi yg tiada nyata (searching for a dream?)
Mencari mu ohhh.. t@ti@n@ (searching for you.. t@ti@n@)

Sampaikan salam ku ini (send my regards to her)
Bukakan lah pintu hati (open up her heart)
Oohhh t@ti@n@…. (oh.. t@ti@n@)

***lyrics copyright protected

Now you tell me… What woman would not swoon after hearing that?? I literally had tears in my eyes as I was listening to him singing and strumming his guitar all the way from KL via phone.

It was a feeling that I’ve never felt before and I knew… I had fallen in love and this was to be my destiny….

Cheerio…

Changes in My Life

I decided today to just sit and reflect back on my life these seven years.

The reason why I’m doing this is because our wedding anniversary is coming soon. It’s going to be eight years on March, 25th! Eight wonderful years! It has it’s ups and downs of course. I’d be in self-denial if I did not admit that. However, on the whole, the sweetness outweigh any bitterness that exist.

Wow, seven years ago, I married this wonderful man that I’ve only known for one and half years. It was such a whirlwind romance because of our distance. Me, a born and bred Singaporean and he a full pledged Bumiputera Malaysian. We got to know one another from, you guessed it, cyber world.

I remember I was a late bloomer in the chatting world. I only started chatting at the age of twenty nine and that also because I was crazy over the boyband “Boyzone“. They were having this chat session and boy did I want to be there to chat with Ronan Keating. Anyway that’s a different story although but that the start of my chatting adventure. I was introduced to Yahoo and it pager and from then on, I was hooked. I found this Malaysian room that was really buzzing with action and I was chatting every opportunity I got.

And there he was and there I were. We started chatting and the next thing we knew, we met, we fell in love and the rest, like they say, is history.

How have I changed since getting married?

1. I’ve grown to be more mellow. That’s the first obvious thing you would noticed about me. I, no longer lose my temper as easily as before. Oh I’m still temperamental and sulk sometimes but it has gone down a 80% notch.
2. I am also more patient or forced to be patient. Where before it’s now, now, now. I am now more willing to go with “in a while” kind of thing.
3. I’ve leant the fundamentals of being a wife like cooking, washing, cleaning house. Back when I was single, all these chores were done for me by my mom. Yeap, I was a spoilt brat. I would come home and my dinner would already been served on the table. I did not do any housework at all. And to avoid ironing, my pet peeve when it comes to household, I always made sure I got clothes that require none or very little ironing. The rest just goes to the Mr Laundry Man..lolzz
4. I am more careful with my money. As I am no longer financial independent, I tend to think and rethink before I purchase anything. Before, I was such a terrible shopper. I see something I like and I will buy it immediately. I was also such an impulse buyer as well. I am no longer like that anymore.
5. I now think for two. It’s no longer me only anymore. I don’t make decision without consulting Azwaj and I don’t even want to. I want any decision to be made only when we both know what’s happening or I won’t feel good otherwise

Hmm… I guess that’s a lot in seven years. Who knows what else I’ll change in the future when perhaps there’s three or four of us in the picture… By then, I’ll look back at this entry and smile and add more things I’m sure 😉

Cheerio…
