Celebrating our 12th Wedding Anniversary

12 years ago on this date we took our vows to be man and wife. In the presence of GOD , family and friends at Sacred Heart Church we dedicated our lives to the sanctify this union.

It was a match made overseas as we got to know each other while we were both studying in Melbourne. I was 18 and he was 25 when we got to know each other. We were studying in the same faculty and he was my senior. He was from Hong Kong and was staying on campus in a different dormitory from me.

You can say that it was fate that brought us together. We were are the correct place at the correct time to be able to meet and have sparks flying.  It wasn’t love at first sight but certainly one that has been enduring the trials and tribulations which have come our way.  Even back then I knew that R was the one for me and that he is the person who I want to spend the rest of my life with.

At that time some of my friends felt that I was being naive by allowing myself to be tied down at the age of 21. However I choose to believe otherwise. I believe in seizing the chance when it comes and not let it slip away. If the person feels right to be with why should I give up the chance?

I don’t believe in having to build up a career before I can think about settling down. Nobody says we can’t do everything together and what may have worked for other couples may not work for us so why must we follow suit? The rebel in me made me all the more determined to make sure that I have a game plan so that I’ll be able to have both career and family at the same time.

Through these 12 years we have experienced our fair share of joy, sorrow and pain as we moved from a couple to parents of three kids. It’s only fitting that we will be celebrating our  wedding anniversary overseas this year in one of the most romantic places in Asia.

Happy 12th Anniversary R

Holisitic Learning with Monkey Boy an Update

holistic

It has been a while since I last updated how Monkey boy has been doing. It’s now the June holidays and school is out.  From the last update we have been continuing with him doing his budget accounting and adding of a few more chores in the household.

Monkey boy ironing

He has just started ironing since we got a new Philips Iron. This iron is really simple to use and now at 9 yrs old he is old enough to start ironing his own school uniform.  I’ll be training him how to iron more different types of clothes in the near future.

Baking muffins

I have been also teaching Monkey boy to do more different bakes in the kitchen. Besides the simple chocolate cake he now is able to bake blueberry muffins too.  He enjoys helping out in the kitchen and  it is great that he is enthusiastic in learning how to cook and bake.

If ever he needs to go for a camp  or in the future when he does stay on his own I do know that he will be able to keep house and won’t starve as he knows how to cook 🙂

On the academic front he has been doing pretty well with his grades.  For this semester he has maintained a Grade 1 average and is within the top 10 percent of his cohort. I do hope that he will be able to get top 3 position or even higher in standard this year.

What have you been doing with your kids?
