on married life

wow.. it's been ages since i've updated any posts. they're all saved as drafts. problems with my broadband connection for eons.

old entry:

MARRIED!!!! at last! still fantabulously giddy when i think of it. to think that 2 years ago, the idea of marriage was quite off putting. i have to eat my words now :) if only i knew how lovely it would be i would have done it sooner and not balked at it. haha. the benefits of hindsight. many ppl have asked me what's the best part of being married. here's my humble answer: to wake up next to the person you love most in the world, and his face being the last you see before you fall asleep.

i think your whole mindset actually changes. so it's really not the same as when we're courting. i can't quite describe this change, just that it's an immense knowledge knowing that you are part responsible for another person as well, and that another person is depending on you. yeah, it's cool.

it's also involves lots of conscious effort and commitment not to take each other for granted. of course, we're still in the honeymoon phase so it's not apparent yet. but we're well aware that familiarity and apathetic feelings can creep up slowly and subtly, hitting you only when the symptoms are quite severe, and it's harder to reverse. so.. we must always be on guard. see? i actually paid attention during our pre-marital counselling sessions. heh.
