Thank you to YOU
I dedicate this song to Dw for making the bold decision to hold my hand and walk down the aisle exactly 4 years ago.. This was played during our 2nd walk in for the dinner.
Thank you for the 4 wonderful years of marriage and thank you for giving me a chance to be part of this very happy family. I vow to be the best wife I ever could be to you and the best mom I ever could be to JD. Muacks!
Happy anniversary, & many more to come..
天分不出边界
却又连接
白天每个黑夜
那是我对你分不开的心
苍老了
都不冷却
地满载了一切
这些那些
悲与喜的季节
那是我为你累积的真
再没有欠缺
再没有告别
天长地久
握你的手紧紧放在我胸口
红尘女子的温柔天地男儿的港口
天长地久没有尽头你是我全部所有
天地交错得相遇
用我一生和你相守

Shots
An old friend shared a link with me this morning. Not exactly with me, it's more to introduce a photographer to another friend who's getting married and searching for pre-wedding photography.
The funny thing is when I saw these photos, I felt a lump in my throat. The photos were beautifully taken. The angles, the lightings truly brought out the grandeur of the venue and the beauty of the couple but yet somehow I do not feel the sincere love between them. I used to gush over pre-wedding shots of my friends and will always envy how beautiful / handsome they look as brides / grooms to be. Now that I think back, yeah, that's just about all there is to these photos. A chance to capture you at your best, with an elaborate gown and a nicely tailored suit and full make up. I mean, no matter how ugly you are, how bad can you look with so much help? If you still don't look your best then I think you're just hopeless.
Anyway these poses are choreographed and best of all, how much love can there be when these people have yet to go through the daily ritual of sleeping & waking up together each & every day, of seeing each other day in & day out and witnessing how sms changes from " Hi darling, I miss you so much, wish you were by my side" to "Tonight home late". The kids have yet to come into the picture where the ugliest scenes will then take place. Hell is raised to earth. These photos to me, mimic the exact kind of life that most of us are leading, pretentious.
Maybe the heart is too cold now, maybe the mind is too cynical. I think such photography should be kept till the couple has truly weathered the storms of marriage. The same link had an album where the photographer captured shots of his parents. Yes, with wrinkled skin & all. But the amazing thing is this album depicted the warmth & love that was between the 2 people. And yes, they were just as beautiful , if not more than those sweet young things.

Temasek Review
The passing of Mrs LKY has renewed my interest in the Temasek Review.. It is to my disgust when I read some of the comments. It's disheartening to know I have fellow Singaporeans who can rant so proudly their snide remarks on this sad occasion. But then again I suppose it's only with presence of such shallow people that allows the mediocre to shine.. Such a sad fact..
