Day 6 - NUH (Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary!)

Jo woke up with pain this morning and was in a bit of a depressed mood...she's been lying here for 5 days now, not being able to leave the room or move about much for that matter. Besides the pain gets to her too, imagine having a major thorn by your side 24 / 7. Now we know what Paul felt like.

I swung by Tampopo at Liang Court again to get a bowl of Shoyu Ramen @ 12noon, however they have a strict policy of not allowing take outs for their noodles due to quality and hygiene controls. I was flustered and frustrated, but that's life. Since Meidi-ya Japanese supermart was just outside, I thot to myself that I'll just get her several different types of instant cup noodles. Unhealthy? Well at this point that's all she has cravings for and I'm only delighted that she's eating more. I also found Jo's fav juice - Ceres 100% Pure fruit juice blend. She likes the "Medley of Fruits" flavour consisting of Guava, Pineapple andother fruit.

By the way Jo finished the entire mini-bowl of instant noodles. :)

We're 6 years Today!
Yes we do have quite an interesting Wedding Anniversary date - it's 11-11-00 or 11 Nov, 2000. In fact thereshould be another 11 infront as we got married at 11:00am too! How coincidental, totally unplanned for. Instead of celebrating at some restaurant like we did last year, we'll be making the best of our mini "break" tonite. Our menu will consist of:
1. Main Course: Kopi Tiam's Chicken Chop for 2
2. Dessert: Almond Jelly
3. Drinks: Ceres Fruit Juice
4. Entertainment: HBO Channel (courtesy of NUH)

What We've Learnt Over the Years
For those who are married, even though bad things may happen, together as a praying couple with God's help even situations such as these can be turned into something good. A marriage is a covenant between two persons who love and cherish each other, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health...

The road ahead is never easy but when you love someone, it's never a burden to take care of them. Let's never take each other for granted, say words of love daily, say "sorry", spend time together, be gentle and kind to one another and above all - always put your spouse first.

Ok, am heading down to buy our anniversary dinner... :)

Dear Alex,

JoK always tells me how she is so happily married and that she wishes everyone around her were married and able to experience the same joy too.

Your commitment and love for her is for all of us to see. And a shining example for us to follow. May God further bless you and JoK and enrich your lives together.

Thanks so much Jotan, each time we celebrate our anniversary, we can only remember that God used YOU as a messenger at that particular point in time ... to bring her to me, or me to her? Hmmm, both ways I guess. What an incredible God we have! Thanks again my friend!
