“What’s the point in going out? We’re just going to wind up back here anyway.” - Homer J. Simpson

That must be the laziest phrase I’ve ever heard. Hahaha

“It’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose.”

I think of Ivan and myself now, and how we’re so happy, living our lives as young adults. And then, I imagine us as a married couple, with small kids running around and we’re busy chasing after them, doing amazing balancing acts every day. Then I think about the in between. And I realize it’s a mixture of fear and excitement. How we’re going to get from where we are now, to a married couple with kids, it’s such an amazing process that I simply cannot imagine.

We are a strong couple, but there are times I’m afraid that this will all go away. And just at the right moment, this quote came to me. “It’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose.”

So yes, sometimes we do get too comfortable with each other that we take forgranted what we have. But one thing we know for sure, is that we have reached a stage where we can’t do without each other. Ivan keeps me intact and grounded, he’s the one i rely on for strength every day. I love to pursue a million things, but it’s Ivan who keeps me in perspective and reminds me what truly matters to me. So yes, it’s okay to feel afraid of the ‘what ifs’, because we have so much to lose. And that’s why we’ll strive even harder to make everything work.

Haha and for those who’re wondering why I suddenly get all ‘reflective’ and stuff, it’s because I’m in my Grey’s Anatomy craze, watching episodes that I’ve watched like 3 times before. And if you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you’ll know that quotes similar to the one above (quotes that make you think about stuff) pop up throughout every episode. Haha. I know, I’m mad.

AND I’d like to sincerely thank my bondue friends for trying to organize a surprise party for me, which I stupidly foiled. I am sooooo sorry, and sooooooo thankful for the thought that you guys put into it. Wanting to surprise me with KFC is seriously something I didn’t expect. Come on, I love to eat, and at 10am in the morning, I had already decided what I wanted to buy for dinner before the EyE meeting (by the way it’s the hokkien mee from the tze char stall in Kopitiam opposite SESS HAHA). So, I’m sorry for leaving earlier than you all expected, and, if I was indeed there during the planned surprise, I would totally scream. So, AHHHHHHHH! Haha. I love you guys, thanks

Love, Samantha
