Hard to believe, it’s been 10 years since I got married. In the western world, that’s a really long time. But in Malaysia, marriages typically last a long time (even when it shouldn’t). But being a Malaysian with some western influences, I kind of get the best of both worlds. And I’m grateful to have my wife, my family, and everything else I have in life.
In the past 10 years, I’ve moved 3 times from the US, to Malaysia and then to Canada; I’ve had 3 jobs (currently on my fourth); had two kids; purchased and sold a home; and endured one helluva roller coaster ride, financially and emotionally. It’s quite a colorful life, if you ask me. It has its ups and downs. But when it comes to life, all you can really do is plan. In the end, getting there (or anywhere for that matter) takes a little luck and a little faith / perseverance.
So to my wife of 10 years, thank you for being with me. I know things aren’t, and haven’t been, perfect, but I like the way things have turned out. And I look forward to many more happy/unhappy years together. And by the way, thanks for the anniversary gift. I love it!
Here we are on our 10-year anniversary aboard a dinner cruise along the 1000 Islands.
Happy Anniversary, Ayu!
Nice entry… cheesy, but in a good way…:)
Yup, things aren’t perfect and I don’t expect them to be. But I love the idea of us trying to make things better together. Here’s to another 10 years of marriage!
