Millidream III: Way to go!

(Feb 2019)

Boy-girl relationship is full of ups and downs, perhaps because, Men are from Mars and Women from Venus?! Ha!

WK and I are married for 21 years. Most years, we do not celebrate our marriage anniversary. We even tend to not remember it at all. So, sometime in 2018, I made mental note to myself that we must do something meaningful to commemorate our up and coming 20th year anniversary in Feb 2019.

Finally, we did 3 things. Firstly, I bought us a set of bracelets from Tiffany. They are from the men's department, so that it will suit him. We had them engraved.

Secondly, on the actual day (2nd Feb), which was a Saturday, we went to Fort Canning park, where the Registrar of Marriage is, for photo taking. I took out our ROM album, and used my mobile phone to take photos of the photos that we took back then. Using the images as guide, we tried posing the way we did in the old photos, and then I did a collage of the old and new images. The photos showed how much we changed!

Finally, WK booked a Phuket Clubmed trip for Valentine Day weekend.

In recent years, some friends and relatives confined in me that they are facing serious issues in their marriages. I'm feel very sad hearing their problems. The toil of chores, unspoken grievances, lack of concern and romance, causes people to fall out of love with and respect for each other. WK and I are quite lucky. We are not the most affectionate couple, and we are not doing much of the necessary things to maintain a strong marriage. But we are compatible, love each other, and treats each other truthfully and fairly. WK's best quality is he makes the effort to be a good husband. My friend is puzzled as to why I place so much emphasis on "effort". The reason is a lot of men don't bother at all.

I wish that our marriage will stay strong and happy for many many years to come. Way to go!!
