Wedding anniversary

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers ~ Ruth Bell Graham


How true is that statement! Anyway we celebrated our another anniversary on the 28th April, lost count, think 4 or 5 or 6? I'm quite the man in this aspect, never have the capability to remember birthdates etc. Always end up early one day or late one day for people's birthday. Then the wedding date I remember but cannot count the years. Lame...


We did the usual dinner, spending quality time together, had a stroll in ECP enjoying the peace before it ends... 


I achieved my Sales Director on the same day!!! woo hoo.. all my hardwork for the last 1 year has paid off and I'm right on track on my goals. Will be setting new ones for the next 2 years... Yes I know I'm fantastic!!! But nevertheless I busted my ass, mind you.... They say a women this generation must be both strong and yet feminine. I do agree to this statement... the man actually respect a women loads more. I know my husband does and he is super proud of me!! 


Was sharing over dinner with DD T about the women I come across in my MK career and how is it that I realized in Singapore the couple shares the bills in the house. An simple example is this mother of 2 is given $800 a month for food, diapers, milk for the whole family and yet has to share her bills with the husband. Like omg!! how can a husband expect the wife to pay bills??? *faint. Or that another lady works, pays for the family and car etc, husband doesn't work and she goes with him on weekend to the coffeeshop to serve kopi.  *double faint A lot of people around me always tell me how gullible I am in my life... actually I do think I am very >.< 


My new career is actually help this women find an outlet to earn extra income. Seriously to some earning $200 is a big deal as this money is for them to buy clothes. Or others earning $1000-$2000 to save up for a holiday. Whatever it is, I am blessed to be in a happy marriage... which is why I make so much effort in helping others, Say it as a mission or a career, whichever it is. I must treasure what I have and take this opportunity to enrich and impact others too. 


I have new challenges ... its great news and can't wait to embark on it ;)
