    My latest home project

    Recently I had this urge to revamp my study room.
     
    After much pestering, hubby finally agreed to go buy some shelves from Ikea. We went one fine Sunday morning and got ourselves some book shelves and I was very eager to start on my "project".
     
    Unfortunately, I had to wait 2 days for them to deliver the shelves ... by that time I was already very very "kan cheong". When it arrived on Tuesday, I bugged hubby to help put the shelves together - but he said "Wait till the weekend la!" Wah! I so feel like smacking him ... but then cannot piss off my handiman right?
     
    I waited till Sunday and finally .... I chucked out half the things in that room and found myself with much fewer things. I was happy ... finally a nice room for my "me" time.
     
    Till today (about 1 month already) there are still things which have not found its space, but it is getting there. Goes to show that although one can start off feeling very enthusiastic ... it gets a huge amount of effort to see things through.
     
    My next project? I would like to say buy a landed house - but this project seems very far fetched at the moment....

    My third anniversary

    I celebrated my third anniversary last Thursday - 24th November 2005.
     
    Yup folks, it has been 3 years since I said "I do".
    It has been both wonderful as well as not-so-wonderful.
     
    There are times when I am just ready to quit and say Bye-bye but then I would think about how difficult it was for us to be together and I would take a deep breath and swallow my anger.
     
    And then there are times when hubby would say/ do such nice things that you cannot help but to love him more. I have always said that it takes courage to love me and everyday I admire him for still wanting to be with me after all these years.
     
    And then of course there will be those normal days which he will just irritate the hell out of me just so my day goes by quickly. Yup, I actually think my days go by quicker now that I am married.
     
    And lastly, of course there is Ryan who could not have come by without my hubby. It was rocky at the beginning but it has been getting better lately (I hope!). Seeing them together really makes me happy and still at times, it brings tears to my eyes. Here is a wonderful being who is loved by his parents who has been through an eventful journey together and still amazingly lasted till today and are still looking forward to tomorrow and what the future may hold.
     
    The golden question - Will we still be together in a year's time? In 10 year's time? Who knows? But for now, I am happy with things and am looking forward to the next minute while planning what to cook for dinner tonight!
     
    Oh! The life of a wife and mother!
