Today, 3rd Aug 2011 is our 1st Civil Marriage Anniversary. M surprised me by sending me a bouquet of roses while i was in office. Of coz it was sent by the florist. He followed by a call after that. Such a cheeky romantic man he is!
After work, we went for a satisfying dinner at Amaree, Subang Avenue. We were so happy eating that we've forgotten to ask the waiter to take pictures of us. Boohoo~!
Hence here goes a solo picture of me in the car. But we've promised to remember to take picture together on our 1st Church Wedding Anniversary which will be on Sept 4th. Hopefully we will remember and not like this time, busy eating only.
Thank you, darling! May our love continues to grow stronger as each day passes by, just like it has been ever since we first started. I love you more than you could imagine and i know you too. Love you always!!
Marriage is when two individuals love each others and decided to spent the rest of their lives together. I still remember my wedding very well. It was a beautiful morning. All my beloved families and friends had come together to celebrate this sacred and wonderful celebration of ours. It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. When Martin declared his consent before God, I had tears in my eyes.
I. Martin, take you, Jean to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life, till death do us apart.
Martin & I were together for 9 years ++ before we got married, and now it makes us 10 years ++ of being together. We have started our love strong and it has been even stronger as time goes by. He has done his part very well. He was there during the bad times and he is not selfish at all. He has put my happiness before him. Sometimes, I am amazed at the things he can do for me, especially during our most difficult moments recently.
"Darling, I've been wanting to thank you for everything, for all the things that you did for me. If it wasn't for you and your divine love, I would still be in my dream. The reality is too cruel for me to accept but you've made it easier for me. The road ahead will be tough because we will always be reminded of the incident but I am confident that we can make it thru'. Please know that I am always here for you too! We will have each others! I love you, darling!"
To all my MM friends; This is also one of our wedding song. Hope you guys will love it too. "Happy MM, peeps!"

At exactly one month ago, on 12th May 2011, a beautiful baby girl was brought into this world. Her name is Julia Martin Soo Sum Yue. Her English name was given by her daddy, while her Chinese name was given by her grandfather.
She was not supposed to be out yet until 25th June, but due to the complications experienced by her mommy who was having preeclampsia, she had to be brought out. Upon entering this world, she was very weak and had to depend on the machine for breathing. Despite all the negative comments from their doctors, her mommy & daddy had their hopes high.
Her mommy was in ICU for a day before transferring to normal ward. She was still having high blood pressure and was very weak at that time. Her daddy had to stayed overnights in the hospital to accompany both his precious. He was alternating between ICU to see his daughter and normal ward to see his wife. When her mommy was able to get down from bed on Day 3, she joined her daddy to see her. As what her grandma and great grandma said, Julia looks just like her mommy, especially her nose. Her hair was like her daddy - slightly curl, and fingers like her daddy – short and fatty. She was the most precious treasure her parents had. She was a part of them!
Her parents did not give up, they talked to her for 10mins every 45 mins, starting from 9am to 1am. Everytime, they asked her to be good girl and be strong. They told her about her comfy pink bed and her fun rocking bed. They even enticed her by saying that there are a lot of toys waiting for her at home and everybody is waiting for her to wake up. But she was still too weak to give any response.
Finally on Day 4, Julia left for heaven. She will be deeply missed by her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties. And they will always keep Little Baby Julia in their hearts.
Yes, I've been single all my entire life in high school. Don't get me wrong! It is not because I was unwanted at that time but it was because of a promise i made to my mom when i was 5 years old. I remembered my mom was praying when i interrupted her with this promise, "Mom, I am not going to have any boyfriend until I've finished studying". She just giggled away while continuing on with her prayers.
I knew my mom has forgotten about this little promise over the time but it was still fresh in my mind. That's why I was determined not to accept any dates during my high school. While most of my friends were happily dating and talking about their boyfriends, I would spent my time with my best friends and families. Tho' there were some lonely times when I had desired to have someone to pamper me and love me, but promise made is a promise kept. Blessed for me that I have a bunch of best friends to lessen my lonely times. Being single wasn't that hard after all!
However the desire to have someone to love me grew stronger after I left high school. How I dreaded to be in someone's arm! And how i wished at that time that I would know some friendly singles or perhaps American singles available out there.
While waiting in the car for M to buy his ramly burger this evening, i had this thought, "What makes a relationship lasting? How do we get to this stage?" Then I looked back at our 8 years together, and I realized that beside from the communications we had, we jokes alot daily. M & I are very childlike at heart. If you see us, we're like two children who is deeply in love with each others. For instance; I love punching M on his cheek, and M loves to imitate the slogans or characters he finds humorous. M would make me laugh, every single of my life. I think that is one of the reason why we are still on fire for each others.
My question is, "Does Humor Play an Important Role in Your Relationship?" Will a relationship last without It?
Before you answer me, let's take a look at the below quiz from Blogthings. I think it is quite true what it says about me in this. How about yours?
Your Love Is Represented By a Red Rose You love passionately and fully, without any reservations. And while romantic love comes easily for you, you also love many people platonically. You are a true romantic, and you always can see the best in people.
Yesterday saw us celebrating our 8th anniversary. It has been a wonderful 8 years together and both of us are blessed to have each others. My cousin always say to us, "You two are always so loving to each others. It is like both of you have just started dating yesterday." It is definitely the greatest compliment for both of us as a couple. And she's right! Even tho' we've been together for 8 years, we don't feel bored with each others. Our love just kept growing stronger and stronger with each day passes by.
Darling, your love has been nothing but caring, gentle, patient, generous, faithful, passionate, kind, understanding, respectful and thoughtful to me all these 8 years. Thank you for showering me with your endless love! I could not have been gone through what i have without you. You are the joy of my life! And I thank God for every second I am with you! I love you, darling, now and always will!
We had a great BBQ dinner at home last night. Cooking has always been fun for us. M did the bbqueing while i cooked the sauce and side dishes. I will post about the food at my other blog, AGP, where I can post the recipe too. Here, I would like to end this post with the recent photo we took together.
This was taken at Bukit Genting, Penang on 26th Dec last year. Enjoy and may you guys have a wonderful week ahead!

M & I have just watched Sex & The City, The Movie during the recent weekend. We found it kind of dramatic for Carrie to get so upset with Mr.Big that she has totally ignored him, leaving no space for making up. Well, at least she could have listen to his explanation first. But then again, who wouldn't be upset if the groom pulled out at the most exciting moment of your life? It's really a complicated feeling, if i were the bride. It's a mixture of embarrassment, anger, rejected, betrayal, hatred and love, all at the same time.
What i really love about this movie is seeing how supportive this group of girls are! And it has shown us how important our girlfriends are, regardless how old you've grown. :)
So, what was playing in Mr. Big's mind when he decided to leave the wedding? Well, at first, i couldn't understand why he kept calling Carrie and insist on listening to her voice before going in. But later on, i got it. Carrie has let the wedding gets bigger than Mr. Big himself. And Mr. Big was in a 'confuse' state for a moment. He thought that the marriage will change their relationship.
I think that it is so important to talk to your significant other about marriage and all before the BIG DAY. Communication is one of the key to a happy relationship. This will helps to avoid such thing (like Mr.Big) from happening. For M & I, we talk alot about our life and our life after marriage. We're blessed that both of us have the same goals in life. That way, we can work together to achieve them. Just to test my readiness, i've taken the below quiz. And looks like I'm 86% ready for marriage. :)

Aishiteru means I Love You, [if some of you may ask]. There is a silly story of mine behind this word. Long ago, before M & I started dating, we were always hanging out in a group. M and my girlfriend were quite close as in sister-brotherly close. One day, M said Aishiteru to my this girlfriend. Even tho' he meant it as in sister-brotherly love, but I got jealous. hehe. Those were the times when little things can makes you feel jealous.
