yesterday we went for some business over at sg petani so my hubby has to forked out 360.00 to pay for something becoz all his cash were in 50 and 100 notes so he asked me wether i had any 10 to break his fifties ...after thoroughly checking my purse i discovered that i only got a single 10 left in the purse so i gave it to him telling him to use it first and pay me later but instead he gave me the 50 and tells me to keep the change fuiyoooooo..... syok nya and ladies and gentleman that is why i adored my hubby he is never ever stingy with his money (unlike me a bit laaa stingy but food wise no problem hehehehehehehe ...)

16 years of marriage

hmmmmmm the topic for today is my nearly 16 years of marriage... i've been married to my sweetheart for nearly 16 years (the actual date is on 23rd jan) and thinking back to the day i really first met him was on our co's annual dinner and i was sitting alone waiting for my friends and he came up to me and asked why i'm not dancing like everybody else? i totally ignore him becoz it's my rule and regulation that if i'm not properly intoduce to you than i won't acknowledge you.... weird huh? but that's my strict father upbringing 'don't talk to strangers' kept resonating around in my head hehehehehehe anyway... we were properly introduce after that while we're attending our boss's open house dinner and it just sort of takes off after that becoz i found him very charming, a bit shy and very very doting (to me hahahahahaha) before that actually i kept noticing him while i go out to shops around my rental house and kept thinking to myself he probably lives in the same area that's why i saw him a lot (later on he confesses that he kept hanging around there in the hope of catching a glimpse of me oooooo how sweet)... and believe it or not he did not asked me out becoz he kept calling and asking what do i do at nite, what time i sleep bla bla bla and i blurted out' fadz if you want to asked me to go out with you then say it right out' hahahahahaha and he asked me incredously ' why would you go out with me?' and i say ' but of course....' and the rest is history... we got 3 kids, few houses, few cars and what not and living in comfort(alhamdullilah) albeit a bit in modesty becoz i think we can never know what the future might bring but at the moment I can really say that i'm truly happy that i decided to marry him and it is one of my great decisions that i've never have any regrets on ... IF YOU'RE READING THIS HONEY ( I KNOW U DO) I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART ... YOU'RE THE BEST... I ADORE YOU FOREVER...
