1st Month of Married Life

Its been more than 1 year of discussing & planning... & finally carrying out the program for my wedding on 22 Nov 08. It all started back in Aug 07, when Rebecca & I first got our keys to our own new 4-room HDB flat at Buangkok. Its not a perfect flat, as we grew to discover, but we thank God for His provision & blessings on us. Some of our peers have gone through much difficulty to get a flat, & some still have not been able to get a flat, even until now...

I don't even know where to start, as so much preparations came into place... literally sapping out all my remaining strength at the end of every day. It was such a tiring time that I wouldn't ever want to go through it all again! To all those who are planning to get married... ease up, its just part of what every married couple goes through... get used to it... grit your teeth & it will soon pass. Just don't forget to take a little, little time to smell the roses along the way. =)

Today is our first month of our married life together & so far, we had our ups & downs... but what's new... such things aren't new... we see it happening in our parents' lives, friends' lives, cartoons, movies, fiction stories, magazines, etc. Life isn't a bed of roses, whether we are relating with living things (trust me, even plants are not easy to take care) or working with machines. Such is life, but life is not all about bad stuff either... it has its good times... just cling onto these memories, pray & stay in God's plan for your life... even though that wouldn't promise you a cushy life either. Life is hard... its meant to be... if it wasn't, we wouldn't learn & grow... we'll just wither & die... early... & God ain't gonna let that happen.

So far, in my past 28 years of experience in life, especially as I grow older & wiser (I hope), I have learnt that the best way to live life is to learn how to see good, even in the midst of bad... learn to be thankful & smile for even the smallest blessings... & follow your heart, don't ever look back to regret. Life is too short to groan your days away. As I always say - we only live once! Heck, get on with it! Amen! =)
