Rediscovering me

Marriage has changed my lifestyle a little. Hubby's alarm rings at 7am from Monday to Saturday, and my alarm rings at 7:20am on Sundays. When he travels, the alarm rings at 4:30am! I never used to hear the alarm clock ring except on Sundays! So no more waking up at 9am on weekdays. Its not a bad thing though... Now I get to spend some time reading the Bible and praying before I rush off to work (as opposed to praying in the car during my singlehood). Plus, I have time to feed the fish, water the plants and make myself a simple breakfast. Marriage is good for my self-disclipline.

I have discovered that I enjoy housework - ironing, cleaning, cooking, shopping for household things. Maybe its because I got married in my 30s and have been too comfortable the past many years. There are so many things I want to learn! I have a new interest in looking for recipes online and I seem to be spending a lot more time in supermarkets. Not only that, I have started to have an eye for all sorts of cooking utensils. I have transformed into a housewife overnight!

3 Weeks Later...

I haven't written for a long time! Need to backtrack a little now. I got married (finally) on 2 August. On my wedding day, I felt like I was in a dream or floating in the sky because of all the fuss going on around me. I've never had so much make-up in my life... or worn such a long and heavy dress... had fresh flowers in my hair.... and walked down the aisle with a veil covering my face and lots of people cheering! It really felt like I had gone to heaven....

Emotionally, it was a lot to handle. I felt really touched when I was walking down the aisle holding my dad's arm, but I fought back the tears because I knew many cameras were snapping away and I don't like pictures of myself crying. I kept telling myself to smile and not be so 'emo' :)

I felt really happy to have Hoi Hian wait for me at the end of the aisle, we've gotten so comfortable with each other that I know he's the one I want to spend my life with. We have so much do accomplish together and I know this is the beginning of an exciting journey.

I'm really grateful to God for blessing us with our families and friends... each of them have added to the spectrum of beautiful colours in our lives.
