T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

23rd March


Thank you dear for...
the first bouquet of daisies...
those random roses...
the surprise of lilies that came through the door that morning....
wonderfully orchestrating a picnic by the lake...

my first cable car ride...
holding my hand as we snorkel even when you wanted to explore on your own...

the plenty of rides home... at 3 am in the morning
midnight porridge... countless pratas n ice milk tea...
eating sushi with me though you don't enjoy sashimi....
putting up with my mood swings...& my goldfish memory..
your goldfish memory too...
carrying my laptop during my shoe shopping frenzy...
booking movie tickets....
for loving my silliness... clumsiness... dopeyness....
for reading the papers with me...

toasting bread and making soup...
calling even though it's late and you're tired...
being so smart... so thoughtful and so wise...
holding my hand through it all...
those nice long walks to serangoon gardens....

your reassurance at the squeeze of your hand...
your beautiful voice...

bringing pooky into my life....
embracing a family of bears....duckling... turtle... cat.... and a penguin... all 11 of them...
being so passionate about God, life, family and friends...
giving in to me and being the first to say sorry even when i'm in the wrong...
waiting... simply waiting for me on so many occasions...
being there...
for your unfailing love in all my ugliness...

Thank you for loving me...
Thank you for being you these 4 years.
