less than 6 months

it's the 3rd week since we came back from HK....it feels odd but excited. We're slowly picking up our lives in Vancouver.

Finally calculated our spending in HK..and we're over about $2000 CDN oops...but that's ok...we've decided to cut out our 2nd honeymoon...sorry Roy for bearing with me esp. on getting good quality stuff.

Now: we need to start planning our future (career & family)....plus furniture shopping hehe

there are still many minor things to do but i think we can do it coz for sure we're a great team :D

reallly had fun dinning with lung meow & gar meow the past Sunday. Both of us realize we long for hanging around with people who gives us inspiration.

for mui mui...i hope to get back healthy & start thinking about my career.

that's it for now...Carol

six more months to go......

exactly one month after our last blog, we come back from our hectic life to my jag laggin, flu suffereing time on bed, writing our journey to our marriage. I realize how lazy I am from not working on this "journal" and finally pick it up from the very beginning. Now, six months to go. I think Carol is getting excited. I am as always excited, but still embarassed to talk about my wedding day in front of people. May be I am not used to the spot light? Don't want to be "put on the table"? anyway. just don't want to be under the spot light only because of the marriage i guess? o well, may be this is something i have to get used to. After all it is my highlight of my life and I should not feel embarrased to be joyful and happy about my marriage.

Ok, let me catch up on our trip back to HK and some thoughts I have developed. It was hectic, tiring, ma farn but yet exciting and enjoyable!!! I am suprised Carol and I enjoy the fast pace in HK and complained about how "slow" it is here (more on this later). It is tiring because we have to find stuffs in HK if we want it cheap but in quality. Apprently we have failed and settled with the good quality stuffs by paying more hahaa. It was hectic because we have to find the stuffs for our wedding and on top we have to attend many dinners or lunches to meet our relatives and friends. We are out most of the time and have seldom stayed home, relaxed or watching TV. but honestly, we have went through a lot! i felt like we are like a team: Carol is good at looking out for stuffs for the big day, spoting special things that is of quality in reasonable price; I will judge whether that thing is good to have and make the final decision after gathering all facts. Carol is real good on gathering all the items and remember every single detail for the wedding while i worked on the relational things and deal with our relatives, friends and parents. What a Team!!! well, it was rough at start and we often argue especially when all things went over budget or Carol is being "siu mui mui" and "dou mei" (pouring rice) or in-decisive. and I was being whinny, keep on bragging about out of budget and keep on calculating how much we have and getting worried on what to do etc... suen la... looking back, i enjoy the fight we have coz that means we are both trying to make things work, and most of all we developed the communication pattern and are willing to share the hard feeling inside but not hiding from ea other. But yes carol, sorry, i should work on my tone. hehhee

ok that's for now, more later.



.... to be contined

dinner with lung gor/lung meow

last nite ate with lung gor & his meow meow...we are all tired..but had a bit of good chat...should have ate during weekend

this morning mui mui had troublesome in taking care of the minor car mirror accident...have to run to different shops quote at mastercraft was about $500 incl. tax (w/ new mirror glass)
hopefully..it'll be solved either by mastercraft or on suk (still waiting for quote)

i'm still thinking the card design...and run into many stumble blocks...don't know what to say...
should it be simple as no particular wordings or sentence? I found some interesting phrases from www.passing-notes.com incl.

Carefully unfolds God’s faithful hands in their lives ....

God’s plan was revealed for both of us...

From this day forth stems our love, two lives interwind in the marriage of...

I personally like the words "share", "interwind", "unfold" and it will be cool if i include them in the card invitation.

Another phrase that i should be using is:

"Reception is follow at 1:30 at the golf course"

i'm not sure whether i should use bible verses like
"We love because God first loved us" 1 John 4:19

keep thinking
mui @_@

survivor...

after battling with the cold that has been hiding in my system, i feel only a bit better. Seems that some of it is still inside me. so forgot a blog a day will make us stay... hahahahah anyway, i will continue this routine and hopefully this will turn out funny / great.

last nite' s talk with law law was fun, and yet supportive. i found that we are quite similar: youngest in the family, lazy, self centered, but caring, deep thinking, non-verbal...etc etc... but one big difference: a family with God and one without... sigh.... this is such a big difference. when he talked about how he wanted to be a great father etc etc it reminds me of my father: the great, knowledgeable and caring father of mine. if he does not exist while i was growing up (well, even though he was not physically exist in my space, but his dominence thru fax and phone was touching and still effective), i don't know what i will become - may be more feminine and whinny? hahahahaha yea.. too much female figures while i grow up during age of 18 - 21 and i slowly realize this is not rite and i can't make a male out of this group. hor hor hor... that's why i still have some feminie side.. sorry carol i hope i didn't scare you away. but honestly, as the time for me to become somebodies' husband, a potential dad, etc etc, pressure is on and it is defintely a new challenge to me. it is not only the fun we will have; not only a companionship, but also facing hardship together, living together and getting into ea other's space; supporting ea other when we are going thru the same thing; to love, to have patience, to have kindness and don't speak stupidly or act ridiculously to harm ea other and to get our own way; to be considerate, and slowly change our habits to accomdate ea other........ long list of to dos and it may not be as happy or romantic as it may seem. But I still want to do it coz i know I love carol and i know we will be like my parents: holding hands even though we are "lo-fuu-lo-cheai" (married for so long). I know God will be in our relationship as He is the one that pull us together, He is the one to hold us together. I can only hope, and try my best to be at least 1/2 of what my dad has become. I really hope i can.

Dad, the ultimate survivor, applause.... : )

... I announce you husband and wife....

Fun, I would say, that we can have our dairy on the web once and for all. And when we view it ourselves later, we can laugh at ourselves and wonder how silly i am to have that kind of thoughts ...... o well, a time capsule on the web then

So, seven months and one day left until my big day. I am nervous, anxious to go back to HK, and worry if i have enough $$ still; worry if i can fit in my tux at photoshooting; worry if everything turns out ok, and even worry if God will provide a good, sunny day on my wedding day... sigh... why am I so whinny? I am sure when i look back i will laugh my head off... that's what a "blog" for? haha

and what worry me most is my career (and carol's). I don't know what to do if my contract doesn't get extended. Should i go for a new job? or should i wait till i come back on July? o well, i think i really have to learn how to let go and let God take over. I think i need to learn that badly!!!! hopefully not from a hard way.

cool, that's my first blog. keep writing and keep reading.
