To those who even bothers to check this page :) of course,
Matt & I are legally married, but we've yet to be considered married, the Chinese way or the religious way
So please hold on to your questions if it is going to be any of the following:
1. Ang pow mana?
2. When's the kids coming along?
3. Where did you go for your honeymoon?
Although we are enjoying every bit of our status as legally married husband & wife, but at least spare us some breathing space first lah!! Kids can come later once we've settled down in our new home.
Work's a pressure cooker for us, and he's starting work earlier and earlier and I am mugging later and later, going through some sleepless nights because I'm trying to crack some ideas on how to solve problems back at the office.
And wedding's gonna probably be between June - September 2011, till then we have no plans on sporting a baby bump, go though morning sickness, thinking of whether it's gonna be a BOY or a GIRL or even anything that lies between that :)
But heck, life's been pretty good being married. Not like what most men say 'when you get married, it means GAME OVER'. Naah... It's a beginning of something new......

Don't look back...
Many a time, we'd have seen videos, movies and read or heard stories about how people got married, have kids and grow old happily until their old flame appears.
And that is when a big destabilizing factor hits the relationship and rocks the entire foundation of a happy (or at least, as what the story tells us it is happy) marriage.
Logged into FB and saw my hubby's status. Felt a little surprised. But after deliberating, how true it would have been. Then I thought to myself, one should never look back if one believes that he/she has found the right one.
We've gotta bear in mind that the right one is not really the same as the 'absolutely perfect one'. Nobody is perfect. Even though we have friends who are seemingly perfect, but they too have their own doubts, insecurities and things that will pull them down. And being husband & wife is not just about trying to be two people joined under oath and a silly cert stating that we are married.
Marriage too, for me, is not absolutely all about procreation and nothing else.
But then and there again, when we have made our choices, we have already accepted each other for their own flaws as much as we are in for the 80% of the criteria we really want. Unless it is a match made wedding which is uncommon but brings more excitement (according to my friend!).
After all these, I guess that I should not even bother looking back. Even though I know that looking back will only make me feel sillier because of all those insane decisions made, those that we just never thought thoroughly.
Sometimes, the past may sting your heart. Remembering the times you were ditched, stood up, those days you were naive and silly that you were taken advantage of (emotionally) and those stupid days you spent waiting for that one phone call that never came or those empty promises that sounded like clothes flapping in the air (which does not matter anyway).
Reminiscing the stupidity of our younger days, it might make us sad or happy. But for me, I am determined to make my days to come something worth remembering. Heck, who will bother if we had a bad past or an extremely good one? Life still goes on!
Babe SCH, we took a vow, saying that we DO want to be in this marriage. We so wanted to start this life journey together. We just want to have an exclusive You&I as Husband&Wife life and whatever life throws at us, it is no longer about you, or me. It is gonna be US :)
Just wanna let you know that I have made the best choice in life and I am happy everyday, knowing the fact that you'd be the last person I see before I sleep and the first I see when I wake up.
I love you!

Surreal. So real...
More than 36 hours passed. I am still trying to grasp the surrealistic dream I went through yesterday.
101010
Sounds like a binary code. Oh wait, it is a part of the binary code anyway! Logic gates, computers. Ahhh... you get it...
Anyway...... I've yet to get through the floaty dreamland-ish euphoria of the entire episode at Putrajaya, but I am now glad to say this ... I am officially and legally MARRIED to my beloved Matt Sia!
Years passed. We celebrated our Anniversary on the 5th October, and were telling each other, 'yeah, 5 more days to the real day and then, we change our anniversary date' and hey presto, it is already the 12th as I type!
Anyway, it does not make much difference in our lives, not because it did not matter but more likely because it felt like we've been married since aeons ago and now we're just officiating it! But yes, nonetheless, the euphoria and that words-can-never-describe excitement and adrenaline rush is a whole new experience to me.
One morning I wake up, I am Ms. Lim. The next day, I wake up as Mrs. Sia.
What a change!
Anyway, some of the pictures of the event taken from Shee Li's camera :)
Buddies who came ALL THE WAY from JB just to attend! Thanks, my friends!!
Brides and grooms for the day.....
Angkat Sumpah ----> I do!!
Family :)
Friends who means so much to me
and of course, the KIDS!
It was a wonderful experience, especially when you wake up to find that special someone beside you and knowing the fact that he/she is yours forever till the end of time :)
Sia Choon Howe, I love you :)
