5 Years & Still Counting

It's our 5th Anniversary (R.O.M) today. We met eleven years ago when I was still in my first year doing a degree at a local University. He was in his 2nd year, same course but different major. The place we met? In the forest coz we were camping. The camp was part of our course. Good ler.....Just complete your 2-week camp and pass your practical training for that semester. I must say that course was and perhaps is still the most exciting and fun course around in Malaysia. Unfortunately, work prospect is not good. That's why I'm stuck in the same company for 8 years. That is another story....Now, where was I..........Ahaaa........the visits......We got to visit and see so many places. Every now and then were trips. My friends doing other courses were so jealous with me. The things we were supposed to see were not exciting (sorry to say that) but the journey and interaction between course mates were memorable.

Those were the days. I'm still yearning for those carefree, live-free and eat-free days (Expenses all born by parents mar). Now, everything also 'tanggung sendiri'.

Our relationship went through difficult times too. Both our parents were not too happy with our relationship coz different culture mar. Then the financial difficulties. Living under one roof also another story. We have to adjust to the different preferences. We still argue on the toilet seat sometimes - should it be up or down? That's a minor thing but can be irritating. But I guess these are all part and parcels of a marriage. Argument is one way of communication too, right?

We struggled and managed to pull through and things have settled down quite a bit now. We have a wonderful son. What more can I ask for?

Errrr.......perhaps another holiday?????

Happy Anniversary. Yes yes.. argument is part of communication.
I'll get dead worried if my hubs don't tease me for a day.. he sure 'san yau si' (probably did something wrong). Hope you had a great celebration!

The most important thing is that you guy are together to go through thick and thin.
