And so we're 7. Aledy old???

The hubby announced to me a few days ago, with a sheepish smile, that he had forgotten our anniversary. I said, well, it doesnt matter cos I for one wouldn't have missed it since i'm so bad at remembering significant dates, yes, even my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversaries. Not like it matters also now that he remembered it cos I still havent gotten my anniversary present!?! HALLO???? HALLO???? ARE YOU READING THIS??? Better dont pretend one i tell you!

Ok, so we went out for dinner with mel & jes Tuesday nite at Uma Uma Men. Mel and Jes have been married 2 years, which makes the hubby and I feel like we're friggin dinosaurs about to be crashed on the head soon by meteors.

My brain has been on super-slow mode lately which is why only now i'm asking myself what have we accomplished in our 7 years together. 7 yrs X 365days is=2555days. Hmm...somehow this number doesn't seem very big actually or very long. But it sure feels like we've spent quite.a.bit.of.time.together.
So anyway, I suddenly feel the compulsion at 3 plus AM this morning to list out what our time so far together have meant for us and how its been significant. See, i'm weird this way, i like to count everything one...but its okay, this one my blog, so i can write whatever whenever rite?

Project/ Activity/ Achievement List:

1. Buying our biggest investment, our 5-room HDB house & then spending even more money reno-ing and furnishing it. We now use only 1 bedroom & adjoining bathroom and occasionally the kitchen which we need to enter to feed the cats.

2. Adopting 5 cats: Tiger(gay), Waffles(needy), Sailor(always underfed look), Ginger(Queen Bitch), Kitty(history of abuse & has lots of emo baggage)

3. Buying car: this is more hubby's project than mine since its purely his money but i benefit...*smirk*

4. Shared hobbies:
-Cycling (which i took up at his insistence but have since given up cos i'm so lazy and believe in the school of thought that supports the theory of fat-elimination through mind-power and self-hypnosis) So i'm delusional, but happy.
-Photography (still ongoing and something we both thoroughly enjoy)
-Tennis (which we both dont do anymore sadly, because we no longer have access to company facilities now that we've changed jobs and booking at SAFRA is just plain tedious)

5. Venturing into IT consultancy projects as a team. And squirrelling the money away for travelling funds.

I have a nagging feeling that this list excludes so many other important details but for now, this will do. Its a good quick recap and i'm assured that we're not like the typical marrieds who only spend time watching tv together and having sex to entertain themselves. Or maybe i shouldnt speak too soon. i will laugh if the next 7 yrs sees us doing precisely this. BAH!
