I just realised that this year we won’t be celebrating our wedding anniversary again. We missed our wedding anniversary when I gave birth to my firstborn and now again with my last born. On May 12, I will still be in confinement. It means no going out and no eating outside food. We could go celebrate the occasion after my confinement but it won’t be as meaningful as celebrating on the day itself. I hope hubby will pick a very nice jewelry from holsted to compensate this or maybe fly me to Penang to enjoy Penang food that I really missed.
We almost forgot about it!
For the past 7 years, hubby never forgets the day we registered our marriage because he cannot forget the incident that happened that morning. This future wife of his rejected the bouquet of roses he bought for her on the way to the registrar office.
You see, I was being very practical. All I knew was, on that day we are supposed to sign some papers and exchange rings to legalize our marriage. I never know that some would go there with bouquet of flowers.
Furthermore, we are on a very tight budget because the pastor of the church we attended advised us to have our wedding within 6 months from the day we got engaged; that was in December. The first thing when he handed me the bouquet, I asked how much was it? He said, “Forty.” I flipped! “RM40??? Why waste money? I don’t want it, you hold the flowers!” 
Actually, I was upset that he did not discuss with me about it earlier. I think he wanted to surprise me but he got the bigger surprise which he can’t forget for the rest of his life! hahahaha
Back to “We almost forgot about it.” We only realised that today is our marriage anniversary at around 8pm when I was preparing dinner for my children because I feel like eating Satay Celup which they can’t because they can’t take spicy food.
Since it was raining heavily, eating Satay Celup has to be postponed. Hubby still wanted to go out to celebrate this special day. So I suggested we go watch a movie; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We had a quick bite; shared a plate of Fish and Chips at Marrybrown and rush for the 9.45pm show.
That is how we celebrated our 8th Year of being husband and wife legally. 
My part of the world, Valentine’s Day is almost over. But in the States, Valentine’s Day just begun. I am sure some of you who celebrated this day will be dining in some famous New York Restaurants. As for me, I had Mee Mamak all by myself today while taking care of hubby’s internet cafe so that he can bring our children to the playground in Giant. For dessert, I have a stick of Chocolate coated with peanuts ice-cream.
Nothing lovey-dovey for me today. I can sense that hubby is slightly upset with me because I did not do certain task that he asked me too. Not that I don’t want to do it but I forgotten about it and due to the hot weather, I stayed away from my room where the computers are. So, work not done. Thank God we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day if not these will surely spoil this special day.
Those days I don’t hear about wedding favors during wedding. Now, this western culture has slowly creeps into our wedding culture; which add more cost the already expensive wedding. Anyway, the marrying couple will still spend with the rational that it is only one in a lifetime; if you don’t divorce and re-marry lar. =P
If you don’t have high budget for your wedding, either scrap the wedding favor ideas or get those cheap wedding favor. If you were to surf the net. They do have lots of unique and cheap wedding favor. You just have to be more diligent in looking for good bargain. =)
7 years ago after our wedding, hubby hibernated during our honeymoon. He sleeps most of the time. 7 years after, it was my turn. I was too exhausted to even update this blog! I slept, nap, slept and nap. Only today, I am myself again. Awake and alive.
Wondering what we did on our wedding anniversary?
We did some banking; investment for the future then buy milk for the children; another form of investment for the future and fetch the children home from my mom’s. Had light lunch then head to Dr Fish, in Melaka Raya.
We took their package of the Fish Spa and Massage. RM80+ for me (Mother’s Day promotion) and RM85+ for hubby. However we went for the massage only because I am having my menses. Don’t wanna change the colour of the water and kill the fishes. Be going again with my children after I’m “clear” because they told us that it is free for our children!
The aftermath of the massage; my whole body aches especially my neck and due to it, I was down for 2 days.
I enjoyed my dinner though. I finally found a restaurant that serve beef steak that is thicker than 1cm and it tasted good too! The restaurant is on the 1ts floor of Carrefour called Le Garden. They served buffet Steamboat and BBQ too but we did not try that. I was too hungry to wait till 6.30pm. We were there by 5pm.
The Sirloin Steak above looks like a piece of fish eh? 
After dinner, we went to Tesco to shop for toilet roll! :lol:Then head home to shower and to bed.
7 years has gone by with many sweet memories. Hubby asked, what we have accomplished thus far. Well, we are still together, still loving each other and still very much in love. We have 3 kids; that is big accomplishment. We bought properties, we started our own business, I resigned and still driving our old junks.
I hope and pray that there will be many more 7 years to come and we will grow old together gracefully and without any health problem. Pray that we would never need any stair lift to go up the stairs.
There isn’t many occasion in my life that I really LAUGH OUT LOUD till I shed tears. I can’t remember when was the last time I shed tears due to laughter.
Today is the day. I really laugh and laugh and laugh till I shed tears. Wipes tears and laugh again and again and again.
It felt so good after laughing so much; really laugh.
Unfortunately, I can’t share the reason to it. It is too personal. All I can say is, thank you so much dear and you my dear.
Thank you for bringing me so much laughter today.
THEN:
I received the above bouquet of roses a day before my birthday and I was on top of the world because no one has given me any flowers for ages. These flowers are even more precious because they are from friends that never meet me before (one of them only actually).
Flowers will wither but I will not let this one “died” on me. I hang it upside down and let it dry. I must preserve this bouquet as how I will try my very best to preserve this special online friendship.
NOW:
I am still waiting for hubby to surprise me with a bouquet of flowers. 
The last I received from him was on our Marriage Registration Day; 010301.
Girls will be girls no matter how tomboyish you maybe. Once a guy start noticing you and you falling in love, you will be completely transformed to be a lady. That happened to me. Then I started to take notice of what other real girls are wearing and the way the carry themselves. Then I started collecting wholesale fashion jewelry to wear them when attending church and dating. To make myself look more girlish. Then one fine day, my boyfriend told me that he fall in love with me because I am a tomboy! Anyway, that was too late because I was enjoying being a girl and getting noticed by other guys!
If I can remember clearly, I never receive a real fresh rose for Valentine’s Day since I have a boyfriend and now husband. Either I dated/married a very practical man who does not like wasting money or a poor man. Hehehe. I don’t think my man is that poor. I think he is stingy! Hahaha.
If I were to marry someone who supplies wholesale roses, I will lack no roses on any occasion. I think I will get sick of seeing roses all my married life! Btw, I don’t think he will give me any rose on Valentine’s Day. Better he sells them and earns more money! Don’t you think so?
