This is\u00a0difficult, hmmm,\u00a0I myself sometimes\u00a0question why I got married to Daddy. He’s not a bad guy really, but sometimes we can be so out of sync, I just wonder.. And I guess when you have been together with a person so long, you sometimes forgot what made you come together in the first place.\u00a0When I got tagged by Whoisbaby<\/a> and Mott<\/a>, I have to think real hard.<\/p>\n

So what made me tie the knot with him 9 years ago? After much thinking, here are the ten reasons :<\/p>\n

1. I was smitten when I first laid eyes on him, it was my first day at work, and my then manager introduced me to him. That friendly smile and firm handshake swap me off my feet. Remember Jerry Maquire<\/a>? After a lenghty romantic plea by Jerry Maquire, Dorothy Boyd said, “You had me at ‘hello.'”<\/span>.. it was something like that for me as well.
\n2. He\u2019s a 6-footer. Makes me look petite standing next to him (good enough reason?). It also gives me a secure feeling.
\n3. He\u2019s an anglophile, and I\u2019m a bit of an anglophile too. We like almost the same English Pop and movies.
\n4. He\u2019s good with DIY-ing. He built me an adaptor for my disc man the first month we were together and I was damn impressed (that was then.. it takes more to impress me now).
\n5. He eats bread every single day for breakfast (even when we\u2019re on vacation and staying in\u00a0hotels which served good buffet breakfast). I\u2019d heard some where that a person who can eat the same breakfast every day, must be able to stay with the same woman for the rest of his life. \ud83d\ude42
\n6. He gives me freedom, allows me to work on my studies or my career \u2013 He\u2019s the one who encouraged me to further my studies overseas, when all my other selfish and possesive ex boy friends forced<\/strike> asked me to stay back (and I was stupid enough to listen to them).
\n7. He\u2019s a practical person. He won\u2019t surprise me with flowers or any of such \u2018romantic\u2019 gifts. But he\u2019ll get me bags, shoes, jewelry that I\u2019d picked out myself (no surprises). When I was studying overseas, instead of love letters and cards, he showed me his love by sending me my supplies of Chinese herbs, Chinese mushrooms, Milo etc (boring eh? but I’m in control of what I get. :)).
\n8. He takes care of himself, eats and drinks well, doesn\u2019t smoke (I\u2019d had my share of smoker ex boy friends). Only indulgence is the occasional beer or wine. He helps me to take care of myself too, watch what I eat, etc.
\n9. He gives me room to have my own friends, do my own things, go\u00a0on my own trips.
\n10. He agreed to live in my dad\u2019s house with my dad\u00a0(a widower who would live alone in a big house if I moved out) after we got married, even though his parents were not very happy. It was 6 years later that we moved to our own house (my dad now lives with my sis).<\/p>\n

Now… I remember why I got married to him. \ud83d\ude42 Thanks to Mott and Whoisbaby.<\/p>\n
