LC300 S'pore: My ME "love letter"......

This morning when I open Lenz e-mail, I read it for a couple times and just stared and think how could I draft this love letter to my sweetie…it is no easy feat to write one…so I think very hard and try to write one from the perspective of ME…to tell you the truth until now I still don’t know the exact meaning of a “love letter”…it is much more easy to deal with mathematical language then to having to write an English essay based on love and worst to search your heart through and express them in English words…….firstly, what is the format? How should it begin…what must I include?all the mushy, mushy love statements?If I were to include all the cloud 9 love declaration statements, it sounds a bit not my normal myself…and of course I don’t feel comfortable with it because that is just not me.....so after thinking very hard I chose to do it my way in which I feel the most comfortable..so I chose to do it in pictorial form..with words kept to the minimum…as much as possible.

Here is the so-called "love letter" but do you call this a love letter…? I don’t know…really…but all I know is that this is something coming from my heart....

To begin with when we knew each other 18 years ago, before that we were total strangers to one another (My genes are 100% completely from Ipoh (more than 300 km from here).. ..I was only born here....other than that I am 100% an Ipoh boy, very Malaysian, very very Malaysia Boleh!)……..So you see... one being from the north and one from the south (from 2 different countries), when we first know each other….naturally there are so many secrets each of us holds that cannot be told …..Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi…but since then, there are no more of such secrets…between us….

But like I said in one of my blog entries…I am constantly writing this “Tong Hua” (Fairytale) in this marriage and like any other “Tong Hua” there are times that are considered to be “…..and they lived happily ever after…”(remember that familiar phrase in every Tong Hua?), while there are times you seem to be in darkness….and begin to wonder… is this what's marriage is all about…St Teresa of Calcutta too experience that too in her vocation as revealed in this book.....

There are times in this so many 15 years or so…we do not know where we are going and the road in front of us is extremely tough and rough and also unknown….but we stick to our marriage vows….and “Feng Yu Tong Lu” ....

…but I have learnt the value and the meaning of sacrifice for you and this is my sign…of my love, and my fidelity to you..

…..my wedding ring which can be constantly found hanging there to dry (you know that) in the kitchen like sometimes after doing some housework like washing dishes or cooking your favourite vege…dish (Mine would be minus the the mushroom)

We went through extreme grief together….

But in the end this is the testimony to our relationship…this what our children sees in us…they are our mirror of our relationship..

This piano also a constant reminder me of our relationship in the early days back in 1994 where we are still without children where I accompany you all the way from Jurong to Yio Chu Kang to take your piano exams and sometimes I wait for you throughout your piano lessons in the old Plaza Sing….how we scout all over Singapore (from Serangoon to Bedok and then to Plaza Sing and then ultimately choose this piano and how you ultimately passed your piano exam….with it!

Also you have always asked me help your mum and dad in whatever request they made right down to getting this plaster…as they are old and not so mobile… and I did coz I know you luv mum n dad a lot..

I know at times I was very tired of it all doing all this and have disappointed you in some ways but I know I must persevere for the sake of my love for you….
