My Fairytale Came True After All

Hui Leng — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:30:29 +0000

What a silly child I was, to be worried about ridiculous things like photo shoots and gown patterns. It all made sense when I saw how happy John was when I said my wedding vows. It’s not about whether the roses are the right shade of pink, or if your gown is custom-made Vera Wang. All [...]

Sometimes Words Hurt More Than Stones

Hui Leng — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:30:24 +0000

Private Post. Only Anna and Huimin can read. Mum proved me right yesterday by showing me that words can really hurt – more than you ever thought possible. Out of the blue she said all the wedding plans were coming along great, but she wondered whether I was truly ready. Because she always felt I was a dreamer [...]

How Difficult Can Counting Possibly Be?

Hui Leng — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:57:10 +0000

I think my student is trying to give me high blood pressure. During our lesson today, I noticed that she still had problems with subject verb agreement. I caught her writing ‘I are’ in her narrative essay and almost fainted. She’s in secondary school; she should know better by now! When I asked her about it, she [...]

Men Think With Their Biceps Sometimes

Hui Leng — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:30:59 +0000

I don’t know what John was thinking, challenging Steven to a RACE?!! There’s a reason why Steven is my ex. I had a word with Steven and told him to leave us alone. I think he got the message. And to make things worse, Mum was at it again yesterday. She cheerfully mentioned that “your cousin Jasmine [...]

In The Eye Of The Storm

Hui Leng — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:30:11 +0000

I really don’t know what to think. Everything is happening so fast. I overheard Mum saying something to Dad about stopping me from making a huge mistake. Does she think John is a mistake? Perhaps it wasn’t my imagination after all, when I thought she was being frosty towards John at the dinner. And this was before [...]

Old Flames Need To Be Extinguished

Hui Leng — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:30:55 +0000

Private post. Only Anna and Hui Min can read. I am going to strangle Steven if John doesn’t beat me to it. What was he thinking? Showing up unannounced at my door in the middle of my engagement party?! It was over between us years ago – years!! It’s a good thing Anna never lost her [...]

No Such Thing As ‘Two Waters’

Hui Leng — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:25:43 +0000

My tuition students are driving me crazy. I caught one of them saying ‘two waters’ during yesterday’s English lesson. I stopped him and asked him if you could count water. To my horror, he nodded, pointed at my glass of water, and then at his, and said brightly, “Can! One water, two waters. There. Can count water [...]

Love Is So Easy In Paradise

Hui Leng — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:45:05 +0000

Private Post. Only Anna and Hui Min can read this post. What a beautiful island Tioman is, and what a great husband John will be. He saved me from an ugly, big sea urchin that could have given me a really nasty infection. I was swimming around, looking for my fin, which had slipped off when he yelled, [...]

Sun, Sand, Sea, And My Sweetheart

Hui Leng — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:49:47 +0000

There’s a package to Tioman that looks very good right now. I know John definitely deserves a break, and it’s been a long time since either of us have had an island vacation. I think he’ll like the laid-back feel of the island… a few days in the sun with nothing on our minds will do [...]

The Day My Heart Stood Still

Hui Leng — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:29:07 +0000

This is the heart-shaped durian that John got for me as part of the surprise. Isn’t it cute?
