31 Dec 2009

5 years ago this day, hubby and I were in Singapore, walking along the waterfront beside Esplanade after dinner in Marina Square. We found a place to sit and enjoy the breeze. In the middle of our chat, hubby got down on his feet, looked at me seriously and asked, "Will you marry me?" I thought he was crazy. Why would he marry me, divorced with 2 kids, in the middle of a custody fight and in debt? But I was selfish, he is a good man and I wasn't planning to let him go, so I said yes.

5 years later this day, we're happily married with 4 wonderful kids and living in Sweden.

Hubby bought me flowers today to celebrate this day.

As we were having our New Year's Eve dinner,

I commented that we have 2 things to celebrate today, that the new year is beginning soon and that we have our first customer who bought WebTrust. Hubby added that it is also our engagement anniversary date. Jovan asked, "So what will happen if mommy said no?" Hubby replied,"Then we won't be here today. Ivan and Chris will not exist. You will not be in Sweden." Jovan continued,"What if mommy said yes then?" .....

And while we were having our silly conversation, Ivan was focusing to poke the corn kernel with his fork...


After dinner, hubby, Jovan and Angel went to set off the remaining firecrackers which was left over from last year. (We only managed to set of 2 or 3 last year coz Angel and Ivan ended up crying...) This year, Angel is really brave, she didn't freak out from the loud bang, instead she wanted to light the crackers too!

After that, they came home and we watched tv. This is usually the most difficult time for the kids, especially Angel, since she usually sleeps quite early. She has not been able to stay awake till the countdown for the past years and she was determined to make it this year. And they both did!


Year 2009 has ended and we all looked forward to 2010, hopefully it will be a year filled with good news, pleasant surprises and opportunities to learn, so we can all be better person!
