Happy 18th Anniversary Darling...

D...18 year ago on this date we were married sorrounded by all our beloved families and friends...........Happy 18th anniversary dear....living away from you has been very difficult but eventually we manage to overcome our obstacles....our love and bonding had grown much more stronger, let me say something from the bottom of my heart on our 18th wedding anniversary....

Where do I start writing?. Well....we met in a foreign land when both of us were 18 and our first date
was at Wendy’s. It was winter and we went for bowling after the dinner. I beat you that nite! And up until now I can still brag to you about my winning. But you said, you lost the game but had won my heart. Some interesting discovery the first time knowing you were born 3 days apart, both of us start reading the news paper from the back and we wear the watch at the right wrist. Both of us like Alleycat’s songs. How coincident! Actually I guess that was the main reason we met. I had forgotten to bring any Malaysian songs and had decided to borrow your cassette. That is how it happens. From then onward, you always call me and we click instantly. But in actual fact, I already noticed you while both of us in the orientation program in Malaysia because you were the only boy who wear white uniform with significant height.

I still remember during your trying period to win my heart, you skipped your class and waited for me to pass by at the bench by the pedestrian street near the Memorial Union. I saw you sat there reading newspaper, I walked pass and just say “Hi..what are you doing here” and just continue walking without stopping. At that time, I was not really giving attention to any boys so I treated all boys the same. Later as our relationship grow, you admitted that actually you were waited for me with hoping that I stop and talk to you. That was really sweet of you. I never expected at all that you are trying to win my heart. But, I notice that you always call me everyday asking about my classes and sometimes we were talking at length on the phone. I still treat you nothing special compared to the rest of the guys. You also said sometimes you sat at the lobby of your apartment just waited to see me passed by.



Then I decided to join the girls to travel to Chicago for a week. This had changed your feeling towards me. You called my roommate (Kak Azia) who happens to be one of the senior and admitted to her that you had fallen in love with me and did not know how to tell me because I always very spontaneous towards you. Then, Kak Azia told you either you declare to me or you will loose your chance. I was really having fun with my girlfriends and never gave you a call. Then, when I came back you called me and told me how much you like me. You wanted to be my special boyfriend. I was not shock since I had sensed earlier that you like me but never expected you wanted a serious relationship. I asked for a week to think it over. You call me everyday and asked whether I had made up my mind. I told you firmly, please do not push me into making a decision and when the time comes I will give you an answer. After that only I realized why you willing to walk more than 30 minutes in a thick snow to get me some medicine (you even offer help to buy!! hhhmmm…..later you said it was an investment!!). You gave me special nickname “Adik”. When I ask you why, you said because you want to be special and do not want to call me the same way other guys calling. How neat! That time you always refer me as “Makcik aku” to all of your friends. But now you change to my significant others... I am thankful that your family accept me and welcome me to be part of them. I have a very good relationship with all your sisters and click well with them. I still remember how good your late father was to me when they came to visit me during my short trip back to Malaysia.

I have known you for 24 years and had been your life partner for the past 18 years and still looking forward to many more years to come....we are bless with 4 beautiful children, comfortable life and love all over us! I thank Allah for sending you to me. You have been taking good care of me thoughout all of my 4 confinements....You encouraged me when I was on wheelchair for 4 months after having Adam, you bathed me, took me to the toilet in the middle of the night, attend to Adam when he cried at night when I can't even move...without feeling ashamed you took me out even though I was on wheelchair so that I can still enjoy going to my favorite bookstore, giving me morale support to overcome my pain.....yes, life was not so easy then...that was the most difficult period to test how strong our love bond is....you are such a doting father...love the children more than anything else in this world and always make sure that they are always in your priority......

This is our first time apart not celebrating our anniversary together. Nevertheless, we have a very blissful relationship and still enjoying each other company, even though, sometimes we have our misunderstanding, and we managed to settle our differences. After all this year, we still say “I love you” everyday without fail and you still hold my hand. You still take me out for a date for a nice meal together, watch a movie and always take timeout to spend special moment with me alone. We still chats 2-3 hours everyday like I just knowing you yesterday. You always trust and believe in me. Since I first met you, you never have a feeling of envy or jealous whenever I have a good relationship with other guys. You know me well!! I never hesitated to discuss anything with you. Beside my beloved husband, I feel that you are the best friend I ever had. Yes, our distance now has makes our love grow ponder. I am glad I found you! I love you lots and will always do........Happy Anniversary D!! Looking forward for more years to come.....thank you so much for giving me the chance to be part of your life.....


Lastly, as you dedicated the song to me 24 years ago...I am Crazy for You by Madonna, but now I am STILL crazy for you even after 18 years of our togatherness........I hope I had say it all here...

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the weight of my stare
You are so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you will it's true
Never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Tryin' hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye, we need no words at all
Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deept into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see
It's all brand new
I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I am crazy fo you........


Can't wait to be with you and the children on 11th Nov.....


Hugs & kisses from far,
Your significant other
