Dearest Love,

After 3 weekends with guests, I'm looking forward to the weekend alone with you :)
We've been so busy with our work and all, we've not really had a chance to share with each other.

We're unwinding for the year 2010 and it's been a mild year - in fact, a  bit "bleh", but it was still great because I've had you by my side throughout.

So here's a toast to many, many, many, many, many, many more years together and going through life's experiences together.

I love you!

Always,
Girl

Dearest Love,

I'm glad we're both alive and well.
I'm just glad we're together.

I love you.
And do always, always remember your most important promise to me.

Always,
Girl

Dearest Love,

Happy 1st Year Anniversary! :)
Time flies, indeed.

You've made it so easy to live with you :)
You've made it so easy to laugh with you (and at you :P)
You've made it so easy to fall in love with you - all the time.

Thank you for loving me. And you're most welcomed for loving you :)

Me and You. Just Us Two. We have a long way more to go - and hopefully, with lots and lots of laughs.

I love You.

Always,
Your Girl

p/s : Thank you for the gift :) It's such a nice surprise!! I'll snowball yours. :)

Dearest Love,

You remember the night we had that 30-hours without electricity problem? The annoying "Welcome To Cambodia" factor?

I remember for two things - how hot it was and how do people survive these days without electricity.
And I remember it for how you sat up in bed and used the blanket to fan me to sleep even though you were sweating like a pig yourself. I was really very touched by that, you know.

And I fell in love with you yet again.

Thank you for making it bearable - even though things seem miserable.

Love Always,
Girl

Dearest Love,

You're reliable.
And I thank you for that.

Love,
Girl

p/s : I still love hearing the sound of your laughter - especially when we watch comedies together :)

Dearest Love,

Today marks 2 years that we've been in Cambodia.
It had been tough, I know. Sometimes good, mostly not-so-good.
But thank you for being here with me.

Can't say it enough. A small mention here :)
Most importantly - for providing me with the laughs and keeping me sane and straight.

I love you.

Always
Girl

Dearest Love,

Happy Birthday! Let's see now, it's the .... 4th birthday which you are celebrating with me :)
The first was in 2007 - we went to Langkawi...
The second was in 2008 - we went to Palembang (of all places - but this was a pretty fun trip)
The third was in 2009 - we were in Cambodia
And now 2010 - still in Cambodia - but married :)

I remembered that you told me before - you hate celebrating your birthday without someone special. As long as I am alive, Love, I promise you that I will celebrate each and every birthday together with you. And all other occassions and anniversaries and festivals and everything!! :) Ok?

I still haven't figured out what to get you for your birthday pressie. That's because you make it so difficult to shop for you! I know when it comes to "fay-shion" (hahahahhahahaha! This cracks me up), you are pretty fussy :) And then - I've gotten you football stuff before.... and not to mention, loads of T-shirts (because I'm so not creative when shopping for pressies)..... and what's worse - I don't know what you want besides me!! :)

Still, I'll take a rain check on your pressie.

Meanwhile - just know that I love you very much!

Love,
Girl

p/s : Hope you really did like your cake :)

Dearest Love,

Wow, I haven't written for a long time. Well, since February, at least. The first half of the year is almost coming to an end. And all we've been doing were being downright busy with our own work.

But still, at least we managed to snag a short trip to Vietnam (that was a really great eating trip :P) and a trip back to KL. Which is one reason why I am writing this email. I just want to say Thank You. Thank You for your relentless support. I know everytime we go back to KL, I seem to have back-to-back meetings and appointments and things that need to be done, people that I need to see... and you have unquestioningly just let me do my thing and most often, you accompany me too. It's not exactly "holiday" for me in KL,.... but I kinda forget that it is yours.

Still, thank you for..... you know, giving in and letting me do as I please.

You're a quiet piece of strength,
Your stoic patience emitting the air
That I breathe.
Your solid embrace engulfing me in the
Comfort of your protection.

I love you.
Girl

Dearest Love,

I'm feeling so, so, so awful right now.
You are in the midst of getting blood and urine tests for suspicion of liver failure, hepatitis, jaundice or whatever it is that has something to do with the liver. Your eyes have turned yellow and I've googled some information and all your symptoms seem to point to liver failure. I am hoping it is merely hepatitis..... not that hepatitis is any better, but the lesser of the evils listed.

I've realised I've been such a terrible, terrible person. And to add on to that, a  terrible, terrible wife.
While we were in Bangkok, I had no idea what was wrong with you and I kept saying you were "Raymond"... and I was upset that you hadn't been able to enjoy the trip and food (more like I didn't want to get fat by myself...!) .... and oh, Love..... I am so horrible! I would go back to Bangkok and make it a damn miserable trip if I have to, if only nothing was wrong with you!

I think more to that.... You have always been living up to your vows...and I've been so spoilt by you... you've always taken care of me, you've always been the one taking care of plans for trips and all that, ...... and  I got lost for abit. And as a result, I forgot my vows to you.

I had vowed to take care of you and to learn how best to take care of you. All I did was try to feed you with some silly medication - which of course, was all the wrong ones..... which didn't help you. Oh God, Love... I'm a terrible, terrible person! :( I promise this will change.

I guess... sometimes, it is knowing the other person very well  too... and I guess, perhaps, I may not know you as well as I thought I did. Sometimes, we take things for granted. You and I, we're different - at times, both ends of the extreme. I've always liked living my life a bit closer to the edge.... (ala my Dad's style)... and I sometimes do not heed signs - or don't read them very well - especially when it says "Danger Ahead" :P Like the time I raced with a cracked rib.... or you know, eating snails by the roadside when I had diarrhoe.... I guess, I take the motto of Making Each Day Count a bit too far.....  You, on the other hand... have always been very sensitive to every little bit of changes your body goes through and you heed them........ and if you can't, you don't really push it......  and I guess.... we should look at it as a balance for the both of us. We need to find our middle ground.

I've been feeling so awful. I fear...... losing you. I admit - I don't think I can live my life, without you by my side. (and this blog would be pointless if that happened!!) .... I can't imagine and it's scary imagining it. I don't want money, richess, travel the world, whatever it may be... I just want you by my side and laughing together as we always, always do.

I will take care of you. Forever. Please get well.

Dearest Love,

Very nice of you to wait for me today for our usual morning convoy. Usually, you would zoom off without me!

I want to say thank you - for making me smile so much. That could be a reason I am putting on weight - because I am generally - rather happy :)

I smile when I think of you :
- dancing your silly dance, the way you dance
- your grandfather undies
- when you laugh watching slapstick comedies
- try to seduce me with sexy dance moves
- i am trying to bite you
- spank! spank!
- when i imagine you saying "haiya"...
- shaping your eyebrows :) :)
- tap! tap! tap! ;>
- kiss me and hug me in the mornings.....

Thank you for giving me lots of reasons to smile in a day. I wonder if I do the same for you!

I love you :)

Dearest Love,

Happy New Year. It is the first New Year for us as husband & wife. It is also the first day of the new decade.

And I am having a mother of all hangover. But what I will always, always recall, and emblazon in my memory is how you had been so patient, so loving, taking care of a drunkard wife on New Year's eve. Horrifyingly, I cannot recall most of what happened last night.

I remember our very tasty home-cooked porridge meal, of course. The first NY's eve meal that I had in a long long time that is home-cooked and so cheap at that! But we were both so happy eating it. That felt good.

I also remember FCC and then Riverhouse. The last thing I recall was watching swimming on TV at the Riverhouse. The rest, I don't. And it must not have been easy, as according to you, I sounded like I was a nutcase!

I had fallen in love all over again with you today. I don't know how to say it - but how you really took care of me and still kissed me and loved me, despite seeing me, possibly in the worst condition ever of my life.... - really made my heart melt. Melt a thousand times over :)

I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I wouldn't know what to do without you in my life ever. Please don't let me even try.

Well, now it is time to have the first "ahem" session of the decade for us :)

I love you. Always.

Your Girl
