Happy Anniversary 2023 ❤️

 26.10.23 This is our 10th wedding anniversary and 16 years together. I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey we've been on together. Over the past decade, we've faced joys and challenges, and I am deeply grateful for the love and companionship you've brought into my life.

For the past months, we have been planning what to get for each other. We wanted something special and memorable since it’s our 1st decade in marriage.

And this is what we got for each other. 

And we renewed our vows.

Our vows 

We promise to continue loving and cherishing each other, even more than we did on our wedding day. We promise to be each other’s unwavering support through all the highs and lows that life brings our way. We vow to be partners in all of our adventures, big and small, and to never stop exploring and discovering the world together.

We pledge to keep the flame of passion burning in our relationship, to always be open and honest in our communication, and to be patient and understanding when times get tough. We promise to laugh together, cry together, and grow old together, creating countless beautiful memories together.

In sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, through all the years to come, we promise to be faithful, loving, and devoted partner. 

I look forward to spending the rest of my life by your side, building a future filled with love, laughter, and endless happiness.

And the witness for this special occasion?

Our 2 boys! 

 

It’s a good day. 

Till our next anniversary. 

With love,

Evelyn

Happy Anniversary 2022 ❤️

Happy Anniversary 2022 ❤️

This year is our 9th wedding Anniversary and 15th dating Anniversary! It has been so long?? Doesn’t feel like it. Time truly flies when we are happy.😊 

This year, we did not have a celebration as planned… due to flu viruses which infected Aedan and then passed to Hub, Didi & me. 

This year instead of the usual flowers, I told my Hubby to replace it with a bangle which I think will be more lasting. I have ordered the bangle on 26 Oct and can’t wait to receive it *excited*. Is this going to be a new journey? New bangle every year instead of flower. What a brilliant idea. 😂 

Even though this year Anniversary, we didn’t manage to have a proper celebration like going to a fancy restaurant. I still feel really happy…maybe it’s because there’s the bangle. 😆 Really looking forward to many more years of Anniversary. 

And thanks for still surprising me with a cake and bubble tea and trying to make me fat.

I have created a poll on Instagram because I can’t decide which bangle is nicer. Will wear the chosen one on our next Anniversary celebration. 🥰

Till the next Anniversary. ❤️

Happy 34 to myself

*throwback to a post written on my 34th birthday 🎂 

Happy 34 to myself 🥰

34,

when I prefer simple celebration.

When I know what I truly like and dislike. 

When I can send floral website link to my hubby and request for flower within a budget so that he don’t anyhow buy. 

When I stop trying to do everything but focus on things that matters. 

When I enjoy and treasure time with my loved ones. 

When I can talk about uncomfortable things comfortably.

When I only invite beautiful things into my life and nothing less. 

When other’s opinions become noise and I listen to my inner voice.

When I realised while my hubby and children are important, I am also as important.

When I learn to listen to my body and mind.

Thanks Tan Zheng Wen for celebrating 34 with me and thanks for baby carrying Didi while taking this flattering photo of me. Didi napped thru our brunch and we managed to have a very peaceful meal.

It’s nice to put away those mommy’s outfit 

and dressed up on my birthday. 😊

Happy Anniversary 2020

Happy Wedding Anniversary 2019

Will continue to document our anniversary till forever...

This year anniversary was a simple one. 

We celebrated a day earlier. Sneaked a date to have 二人世界 when our boy was in school, our secret affair 😂 

Had buffet at The Line. Don’t think we will wanna do that again... a little over eating for our age, 老了，老了 😆.

As usual, we talked about our differences in opinions... about our very different political stands... it’s true that opposite attracts that’s how we can be different and yet madly in love (or curious) about each other right. 

Let’s keep our differences like a puzzle that will keep us wonder and wanting to find out more forever. 

I will continue to debate with you till the day we die. 

And remember that you promise to die a day later than me so that I wouldn’t need to live a day without you. 

Thank you for being my strong pillar of support. 

To be my grounded tree when I swirl like a whirlwind. 

With love,

Your wife forever 

My reflection before the end of 2018

Reflecting before the end of 2018...

Typing when Daddy and Aedan are both sound asleep. 

We have been back Singapore for a year.

Thinking back, 2018 has passed fast. 

A lot of energy is spent in setting a routine for Aedan since his start of half day school.

It was a struggle mentally and physically.

On Aedan’s 1st day of school, I was so emotional that I cried alone after leaving him crying and shouting for me. For many months, I struggled to carry a crying boy to school and had to explain to him over and over again in many different ways so that he can understand why he needs to go to school and there’s no room for negotiation. It was mentally and physically tiring. Definitely a test of my patience and physical strength with his ever increasing weight. 

This phase has passed and I am so glad that he does not resist going to school now and I enjoy listening to his stories in school. 

For long, we have been struggling with his very late sleeping cycle. Sleeping late and waking up late. We took really long, almost a year to finally adjust it to what we deem ideal. He now sleeps around 8pm and wakes up between 5-6am. It’s difficult because that means we have to wake up super early too (mainly Daddy 🤣 cos most of the time Aedan wakes Daddy first and I wake up around 7) and no late night out.

But it’s all worth it as Aedan is more energetic in the day and I have “me-time” on my phone when he sleeps ✌🏻

I also converted an unused room into his playroom which I am really happy with how it turned out. A very functional playroom which I didn’t spend a bomb to transform.

Aedan told me many times how much he likes his playroom and we spent a lot of time playing and learning in the room. 

2018 has been a year in which Aedan has grown more independent, with him adapting to school life, trying to do more things on his own, many ideas of how he wants to do things, he experienced his first school excursion and his first performance on stage which I am very proud of.

Hopefully, with better routine set in 2018, I’ll be able to focus more energy in making the home, my business, read more books and meet up with friends... maybe another baby if god bless me one. 

Truly happy with how things turn out. 

It was not easy but it’s all worth it.
