I have no idea why I'm writing this now but seeing that inspiration hits, I gotta write. No writer's block here.
Dear Chin Wei,
It's very weird to be calling you that when I usually calls you by your pet name. My whole family gets your pet name by the way, cause when I holler at you, its always "DEAR DEAR!! YOU DIDN'T CLOSE THE SHOWER DOOR AGAIN" (Fyi, we have a glass door but he DOESN'T close it, making the whole dry floor area wet, annoying!).
The 7th marks the 2nd anniversary that we got married. We've been through tantrums, fights, using the D word on each other, crying and I dunno why, pushing each other off the bed to see who feeds the baby. But there were goodness in it too. I remember you fending for me whenever I get down, I know I can count on you for advice. No one can take my humour like you do and vice versa. Like really, your friends don't laugh at your lame jokes but it tickles me. And my friends would roll their eyes at me when I joke but my joke tickles you. So if this isn't love, I don't know what is.
Leia is only 1.5yrs old. I know sometimes she pisses you, but I hope you'll be patient with her. As a mother, it pains my heart whenever she gets hit (by you, granddad and even myself). I chided myself in every other way when this happens.
Anyway, yes, we've been mister and missus for 2 years and I hope still a long way to go. I don't know why I'm writing this - But, I've decided to go ahead simply because you only live once, you never know what can happen. Everyone might think I'm crazy, but believe me when I said never would I expect our brother to die so young also and Chin Yong is always the strong one.
Babe - if anything happens to me, I want you to re-marry. You didn't see this wrong (and neither have your friends seen wrongly). But before you go on dates, the new Mrs. Yap MUST be approved by 3 signatures. I swear if 1 signature isn't there, I'll go up from my grave and haunt you. The 3 people are simply - SQ, Chee Yong and Melissa.
SQ, being your longest friend won't harm you. He is there to show you the right things, he might even chide you - which is what best friend does. He would therefore know, who is good for you. Chee yong, who has more vision that anybody else would also know. He might disagree on your taste (maybe me inclusive), but I think he can see personality well, so listen to what he have to say. The last person, Melissa, is because she is the only mummy friend of yours that I can trust. If I leave, I'm not only leaving you, but Leia (the most beloved bone inside me), I cannot condone if her step-mum mistreats her etc. A mum would know what's best for her kid. Melissa will know if the new girl is right for her. Its a mummy's instinct.
You might call me crazy especially if your friends go "Evette wrote a will for you? And worse, on your anniversary? Is she nuts?" but what do you want me to say on our anniversary? That we'll be together forever unto the day we die? Babe, we already SWORN that we'll be in this marriage, no need for mushy stuff. The day we said "I do", we've already exchanged our vows. Of course, the above will be void if I'm alive, I'm not going die now. I'm just being prepared if ANYTHING happens. Simply cause, you really never know. People don't smoke or drink, but they can die from lungs or kidney failure. And no, I'm not committing suicide. I'm just being prepared for the inevitable.
So dear dear, I really hope you can understand why I'm writing this on our anniversary. But I know you do understand. Cause only we understand the logic and the humour inside us. So HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUBS! I didn't regret being a Mrs. Yap at all. :)
And yes, I know you love me even if my fart smells like onions. How I know? I've never seen a guy dress smartly for dinner. I mean a polo and chinos will do, but my guy had to go all the way out. I'm impressed. And if SQ, Cy and Melissa is reading this (what are the chances?) I really mean it. We bought insurance from you guys because your company can protect us, now I'm just asking for you guys as Hubby's friend to protect him. :)
