Another post of appreciation…

Well, if you’ve been following my posts, it has been pretty sad…  Yes, life hasn’t been too smooth-going, but I thank God that by His grace, I am still able to sustain till today.  =)

Decided to post something happier today.  And as the title suggests, it’s another post in appreciation of CG.  Some church friends were saying today that CG always 嘴硬，likes to ‘act the bad boy’, but actually very 体贴.  It was really amusing, but I must say it’s pretty true.  Sometimes he just likes to say something to get a reaction from me, knowing very well that I WILL react.  =P   

One thing I’m really thankful for, is his driving.  Those who know me well enough will know that I absolutely hate parallel parking.  I used to ace it during driving lessons and even in the driving test, but that was with the help of poles and stickers.  See the blue sticker, turn 1 round, see the red sticker, turn half a round.  Yes, that was how I did my parallel parking.  Needless to say, now that there are no poles and stickers, when it comes to parallel parking, i either start the queue or end the queue.  =P  I’m always amazed at how CG handles the wheel effortlessly.  And I really appreciate that if we are going to church or other places that require parallel parking, he will drive.  Perhaps it’s due to the fact that he can’t stand my driving skills.  Nevertheless, I’m thankful to have him take charge in this area.

Since the year started in 2007, I found that I missed my dad even more than when he just passed away in 2006.  I once spoke to a close girlfriend and she said that it’s because I could feel the void more, and also because I was preparing for my wedding and wanted to share the happy times with my dad.  I guess what she said was quite true.  As always, CG always stood by me when I missed my dad.  I would tear and keep quiet, and CG would just silently be my pillar of support.  Holding my hand or just giving me that reassuring hug, he never fails to calm me down.  After a good cry, he would make one of those smart alecky remark to bring a smile to my face again.  He has always been very understanding towards my sadness and my loss and has always there for me.

But as I said, he always makes smart alecky remarks.  A very good example would be today when we collected the materials for our marriage counselling course.  We flipped through the file with much eagerness and curiosity.  There was a page which stated the Ten Commandments for Husbands.  Amongst the ten commandants, there was a commandment that said “Avoid Criticisms”.  Well, I read it to mean that the husband is to avoid criticising the wife.  However, when I showed it to CG, he immediately said ‘Oh, so when you criticize me, I’ll siam.’  Aaaarrrggghhh!!!  =)  Though exasperating, I must say he’s very quick-witted and funny…  Haha…

I must say that CG now takes my comments more seriously.  Whenever I make a comment, he would brush it off or just keep quiet, sometimes giving me the feeling that it didn’t go in.  However, after a while, I would see actions.  =) 

CG, I just wanted to say thank you.  Thank you for all that you’ve given to me, thank you for all that you’ve done in my life.  Thank you for being you, someone so special and important to me, someone whom I know I can count on.  Thank you!  =)
