A date

My husband doesn't believe in celebration. It's always me who would initiate it for us..It's always me to buy birthday cakes for my kids. Since he doesn't like celebration, I had stopped buying cakes for him.

But this time, I reminded him early in the morning yesterday. I just simply said, "Today is our anniversary!" No reply from him but I was sure he heard me.

So we carried on with our work. After some time, I came close to him and whispered, "Wanna go makan tonight?" Yet again no reply from him.

I presumed he's not bothered. So I just forgot about it. I went back for my dinner and when I came back later, I was surprised that he said, "Tonight we go makan."

I was happy and at the same time bemused!

Dismissal time a little earlier. At the door, he said, "I'll wait for you." I needed to go back and change. He had gone back earlier and taken his bath.

I quickly took my bath and changed. He came back and we had a shot of ourselves.
Happy Anniversary to us!

Then we went out searching for food. Finally we stayed put at the third place. He started talking about work and I said, "Don't talk about work! Let's talk about us!"

We had a nice meal and came back feeling so full..

    Hello Wenn,

    You must be feeling sweet at the end of the date. He must have read your romantic message on this blog. :)

    A very nice photo of you both. Next time, you must blog about your courtship story, how you both started dating and became a couple. I am sure it is very interesting. Please? Thank you.

    Good night. Sweet dreams!

      Indeed I felt good as we hadn't gone out as a couple for quite a long time. It must have been years. We usually go out with the kids tag along.

      Ok, I try..Btw, my husband doesn't read blogs..

    your boss is surely a very subtle person and doesn't like things to be done in a loud and high-profile manner.. but i am sure he heard you (deep in the heart) when you told him and WHISPERED to him about the anniversary.. :p

      I knew that as he needed time to think about it. I prefer this way than him giving his answer straight away..

    If me, I would have slapped him in face the 2nd time he ignored me. Lol!

    But glad he read your mind. That is the way, man!

    Glad both of you enjoyed the dinner and came home happily.

    That is a nice picture. Loving couple.

    Hi Wenn, I was missing in action yesterday because my son had a fever and I became a 1-day-stay-at-home-mum to takecare of him. Don't feel good sending him to the nursery when he is still having fever.

    Wow, feel so sweet eh.. Hinted two times (today is our anniversary+go dinner tonight), but he showed no signals, but deep inside, he still cared and took you out for dinner afterall. I love your last sentence "Let's talk about us". Gawd, my heart would melt because my hubs is not a sweet talker and he never talk sweet things to me b4. His mouth is "see hum jui" (kerang mouth)..

    **By the way, you look like 30 in the photo :)

    Your hubby is already the 3rd generation Chinese in our country but he behaves a bit old fashioned sometimes. That makes a good family man.

    I forgot about my anniversary this year and my wife fooled me to turn up in the posh restaurant to "meet her and her classmates".
    I was stunned to open the menu and see her Wedding Anniversary card inside!!! Goodness! I could not swallow the food well out of guilt. LOL

    I lost my focus and forgot to snap any photos to blog about it. Maybe I should ask her to show me her photos and I will blog about it later. Malu lah me!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
