“Just Us” meme

August 29, 2008

Ooh…I got tagged by Ann. Okay, at least I can write something now. Thanks Ann.

Actually I am quite busy, lots of things to think about for work, which is rather technical…till I am now quite lost with words. But I am gonna do this tag cause it is very special and relevant, since we just celebrated our anniversary. Its good to recall back some of the things we have shared…if I can still remember…opps

Here you go…

1. In which month and year did you meet your husband for the first time?
Oh dear, first question itself I already cannot remember lah. Actually, we were studying in the same institution but we are not even friends that time. I knew he existed while working part time there, still a student. When I joined the institution as an employee, he is my senior and a rather serious one - ordering me to fax documents, carry PCs and do all sorts of "kuli" job…that was back in year 2000. So, historically…I knew he existed in year 1997 emoticon

2. In which month and year did you two officially starting dating?
February 2002, after Chinese New Year (yeahhh…I remember!! thou gotta do a bit maths here…)

3. Where was the first dating place the two of you went to?
1 Utama (coincidently, this is the place we have our wedding dinner too…geez)

4. What was the most touching thing he did for you when you two were still dating?
A "public" proposal that involves all my cell group friends and all those invited to our cell group Christmas eve party. How could I say no to such a proposal? How could I laid down more conditions/rules before I say yes, in front of audiences…? Nevertheless, it was very touching cause at that time, I dunno that he actually wanted to marry me…hee hee

5. How about after your marriage?
Taking care of me when I was pregnant and sick to the core due to hyperemesis (excessive vomitting). He has to prepare breakfast for me before work. Go to work and return during lunch, buy lunch for me and come back from work, buy or cook dinner for me. All that and he will find that I vomitted everything he prepared for me, sometimes right after I ate a few spoon. He has to clean up after that as well and stand the vomit stench that lasted quite long, yet still have to finish all the house chores. All that he did very patiently, never complained. It was very depressing that time cause I was behaving like a person who is terminally ill, starving to death - just existing, not living. In those times, he never complained but would just normally go out to the balcony for a short breather. I guess he shed a tear or two fearing for my life and the little life (Zoe) inside me. I saw his emotional strength and preserverance that time cause he is always very positive in front of me. It touched me so much and helped me to carry Zoe till she is born.

6. Share your lowest period of your life with him.
All the above in question 5 that lasted 31 weeks and also when I was jobless for a couple of months, he took care of everthing, never complained.

7. Share your happiest moment with him?
The day he sent me a bouquet of roses and ask me whether I can accept him, via phone during CNY (he was back in hometown)…hahaha. I was till hurting that time due to a broken relationship but his gesture, straight forwardness and sincerity made me the happiest person alive that day.

8. Share your saddest moment with him.
When I was hospitalised (twice) due to my pregnancy sickness, fearing for the little life inside me and my very own life. The second time, he was still in his pyjamas, rushing me to the hospital ER in the wee hours of the morning as I was vomitting non-stop till we saw some traces of blood in my vomit.

9. Share your angriest moment with him.
We were still dating that time and because of some miscommunication (mainly his part), I was all dress up to attend a wedding dinner with him. It was his friend’s wedding but I was actually not invited…so I was sent home, all dress up. I did not answer his calls after that for 24 hours…hahaha!!!

10. Share your funniest moment with him.
Seeing how Zoe is so much like him, in terms of looks, her tastebuds and behaviour. It is really amusing that even he find it hard to believe sometimes…lol

11. Share your most frustrated moment with him.
Whenever I am sooo sleepy and having a migraine and Zoe kick up a fuss in the wee hours of the morning. I will hand Zoe to him and continue sleeping…muahahaha

12. Lastly, when was the last time you two hold hands and walk under the moonlight, like how you used to do?
2006, during our last trip to Bangkok. We were in Pattaya and I was actually 4 weeks pregnant and we have no idea at all that time…gee, so long ago lar…
We do hold hands now, thou its connected with Zoe in between…hahaha!

Will not tag anyone, if you feel like it, then go ahead and do this meme emoticon

Daddy is back!

August 5, 2008

Daddy came back on Monday morning, we only get to see him in the evening when I pick Zoe back from Nanny. How is Zoe’s reaction when she see Daddy after a 3+ weeks?

I constantly tell Zoe when we will be seeing Daddy, thou she might not have any idea about what day or time yet. On the way home, I was also telling her we will be seeing Daddy later at the car park - like how she anticipated everytime, saying "Daddy Daddy!" while pointing to the exact same place where Daddy will be waiting daily.

When Zoe actually saw Daddy, she was rather quiet and unsure. She did not held out her hands to be carried immediately like before. She just sat there and look at me. Daddy continue to unbuckle her seat belts and carry her out. Normally, she will be struggling a bit trying to get out as fast as possible. This time, she just sat there…

It did not took her very long to warm up to Daddy. After getting out of the lift, she already got familiar and bury her head on Daddy’s shoulder, hugging tight. I realised that is her way of showing that she miss someone. A few times when I pick her up from Nanny’s place, she will bury her head on my shoulder, hug tightly and stroke my arm. She did not know how to say it but she show us with her gestures that she miss Daddy.

Once Daddy start showing her the toys he brought back, waaaah…things really got back to normal lah! Zoe resume back her cheeky self - talking, laughing, playing like normal. I guess that is the wonderful thing being a child, all is forgotten when the fun starts!
