Thomashlyn's Proposal Story

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky, I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet

You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see

As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again (x2)

oh~

How I met your father?

Dear Emmalyn

Daddy and Mummy just celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary and 10th year dating anniversary earlier this year on 6 Feb 2016! It's your 3rd time joining our celebrations! 

Once again, we headed back to Fullerton where we had our wedding 6 years ago for the celebration. It has became a tradition to drop by this special place on our anniversaries. I believe we will continue that every year unless we were out of Singapore like last year. 

If I were a Time Traveller...

Over the years, I realised that there are simply too many moments that I wish to relive - the joyful moment like wedding, special celebrations and giving birth to a baby as well as the life-determining junctures like education and career path.

By that, I don't meant to undo or change any major milestones or circumstances of my life. No, I don't have a perfect life. However, I firmly believe that all everything, whether is it good or not so good or bad, is within God's plan and control. As one thing leads to another, I won't want to be caught in a butterfly effect where I ended up not having Thomas or Emma in my life (they are the best gifts to me!). 

In fact, if I could time travel and relive any moment, I just hope to walk through the same priceless moment once again but probably with better attitudes and emotions, to go to some ancient bible time to experience and understand what actually happened (reading the bible sometimes just gives me many questions marks) or to peek on how my parents took care of us during the tough days. 

It's so hard to pin down a moment for this "If I were a Time Traveller..." blog train hosted by Madeline Heng from MadPsychMum. So, I just taking this chance to time travel back to our once-a-life-time crazy countries hopping mini expedition since I'm missing the carefree life that Hubby and I once had from time to time. 

It was Hubby's big 30 and a special date, the only date with 1 digit, that we could have in our lifetime so he wanted something exceptional. Back then, we had crazier ideas like getting another marriage certificate in Vegas (too much movies!), trying bungee jumps and giving birth to a baby on 11.11.11. 

But putting the wild dreams aside, we came out with a "Where in the Hell is Matt" inspired countries hopping trip. With a goal to collect as many passport date stamps, we spent $1.2k to travel to 4 other countries in 24 hours and successfully collected 8 passport date stamps on 11.11.11. We could make it 5 if it doesn't cost more than double the price of the total for 4 countries.

... another photo that looks like one of our pre-wedding shots, but this time in asian setting :)

Hong Kong & Macau 2012

Dear Lord, thank you for watching over this trip :) Everything went well and we all have enjoyed ourselves.

I'm thankful that my parents are ever-accomodating and have successfully resisted Macau casinos.

Love at first sight

These alphabets from "Typo" @ 313 caught my eyes when I was rushing to Centrepoint for facial.

 

 

 

Have been wanting to get some of these when I first saw them in home decor photos last year

..... I love how they match our names and living room colour theme so nicely. :)

 

 

 

Family Trip 2012 !

 

Heading back to Hong Kong again!

But this time we are going with my parents & brother :)

 

It's my greatest desire to bring my parents on oversea trips! and I'm really happy that this trip is happening.

It has always been them bringing me & brother around to our neighbouring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia when we were younger. Now that both of us are all grown up and independent, it's time for us to bring them around. I'm so looking forward to this Sat.. Counting down! hehe

 

:)

Thank you Lord for this wonderful opportunity where we could all make time and travel together. I pray for a safe and enjoyable trip where we could have wonderful moments that we would never ever forget. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Precious Moments of 2011

I know that I haven't been writing much... posting photos is certainly the easier way out. =P.

Home Sweet Home.

We've finally moved in on last Fri, our 2000th day together ! :D

I'm thankful for this new journey where we would learn to walk closer in faith and love... I'm thankful for the entire renovation process, glad that there are not much big issues. I'm thankful for the effort and support that my hubby has given. I'm thankful that everything has been more or less in place and that we're able to move into our new place before I get really busy with school...

Seen the timetable and I'm already feeling busy. lol. School started last fri.. so it's time to get back to books soon !

Home-In-Progress #13

Our home is almost completed !!

We worked along the modern minimalist theme, matching white, black & red for our living hall. White-white for kitchen and study. Followed by, white & grey for masterbed room =D


Major touch ups were done last Mon and some more minor work along the way.. Tues was furniture delivery so I took leave to clean up our new place while waiting for the furnitures :)

In the meantime, we are packing and preparing to move in soon..

:)

 

Every end is the new beginning. The end of our 6-week renovation is yet another new journey for us. As we embark on this new journey, I pray for more wisdom, strength, time-management & love to walk us through.
