My Dearest Husband

My husband has a lot of free time when he is not flying. It is the perk of the job, he says. Since my application to be a full time housewife is pending approval, I can only watch with envy as he wakes up late and have all the time in the world to hang out with his friends of the same profession. But no matter how many friends he meets or how many activities he has on for the day, he never fails to show up on time to fetch me home from work. And sometimes this chauffeur comes bearing gifts of geberras and sunflowers. 

My husband snores, so loud he would wake himself up sometimes. But recently I noticed the snoring has diminished because he's deliberately slept on his side so that his pregnant wife would have a good night sleep. And he'd never failed to hold my hand underneath the sheets right before I fall asleep. That to me is the most romantic thing ever. 

My husband does not plan. He is the pack-your-bag-and-go kinda vacation planner and is all for spontaneity. While it stresses the mild OCD in me sometimes, it actually brings out a sense of adventure previously alien to me. Thanks to dear husband,I got the chance to shoot an AK47 in Vegas, pat a leopard in South Africa and sky dive in Santa Cruz (well technically that was my idea but he was all for it and did not chicken out).

My husband thinks he's put on weight. I think the little pouch is too cute. 

As I am on this hospital bed waiting for the nurses to check on Chloe, the husband sits quietly waiting beside me with his Nexus 5. And I am reminded of how blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is there for me through thick and thin. This post shall post as a reminder to myself not to that for granted. Love you my dear. 

Top 10 Reasons To Be Married

Being stuck with one single person for the rest of your live really isn't as bad a picture as some might paint. Here are the top 10 reasons why I think we should all get married.

10. You don't have to date weird random guys anymore 

Remember that one date you went out with this guy who talks incessantly about soccer, or the dude who sweats a bucket while eating a bowl of ramen, or the German dude whose accent is so heavy you couldn't understand a word he was saying? Well no more of that, FOREVER. 

9. No more breakups 
Because you are married, breaking up is actually now a divorce involving lawyers and everything serious. You think twice about stuff like that. 

8. Women's charter
Need I say more? 

7. You have a legitimate reason to have a baby
And your friends can't say you got knocked up.

6. It makes financial sense

You double your saving, and get tax breaks when you have children. Not to mention HDB rebates and all those goodies the government dishes out to get you hitched. 

5. You can get some

Any time, any day. 

4. You increase your social circle

Suddenly you are not just that chick he dates and brings to meet his friend. You are his wife, and are here to stay. They better start liking you.

3. You are not living in sin... Anymore

Ever felt guilty of living with your boyfriend when you are not hitched yet? Well, get married - problem solved, guilt assuaged. 

2. And The Lord God said

"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him..." 

1. You've met the One

When you have met the love of your life, you want to be with him every day and night. You miss him when he's not around, and smile when he gives you a stalk of sunflower for no reason at all. What better reason to get married than to be with the One? Happy one year anniversary my beloved husband. May there be many more years to come. 

One Year Older Another Year Wiser?

Had a surprise birthday celebration for the hubs. Special thanks to Law for hosting and Bee for baking the cake!

Here's a special birthday song from Law.. enjoy!

Honeymoon

The honeymoon planning was way easier than the wedding, and much more fun too. We were initially debating heading to Hawaii but dropped the plan as we got increasingly exhausted with the wedding plan and didn't want to travel the distance. With the wedding approaching and the stress mounting, we were pretty set on a place to just relax and chill out post-wedding. And what better place than the beautiful island of Maldives.

We were spoilt for choice in terms or resorts I had to take a couple of days to read up before deciding, which is a pretty long time in PuiSan's world. I normally decide at the snap of the fingers. The hubs was indifferent as long as we don't overspend. So we finally chose Cocoa Island by Como Hotel. It's a quaint little boutique resort consisting of 30 over-the-water dhoni-style villas. Very secluded, quiet and no screaming kids running around - perfect. It's also featured in Mr. And Mrs. Smith travel website, check it out HERE for more info --> 

As we flew across the Indian Ocean, we were astonished by the beauty. Patches of aqua green, clean sea water are scattered all over, It's amazing just watching from above, even more amazing when you're on the ground. God's work of art never ceases to amaze me.

We arrived at the resort by boat ( hubs was disappointed it was not a sea plane) and were greeted with the usual welcome drinks and introduction of the island. It's a pretty self sufficient little resort with a restaurant, bar, infinity pool, diving/scuba school, library and most importantly a spa! Having a massage facing the Indian Ocean was unforgettable! Too bad the hubs doesn't do massages.

We spent 5 days there, not doing much. We wake up, have brekkie, swim, make babies, eat, sleep, scuba, get a little bit of tan, watch the stars at night, sleep. Perfect! Well,would be better if its not so hot but otherwise can't ask for more. Here are some pictures.
