Without him, I'm sure the present wouldn't be the same. What happened was... just an hour before the 1st interview with my current employer, to my horror I discovered I didn't bring my original set of certificates for verification purpose which they had reminded me to during the telephone conversation & in the email. And hubby, instead of chiding me upon knowing (which's the reflex of most human including myself), immediately arranged to rush home to get them for me & asked me to wait for him at my interview venue. I wander why this husband of mine wasn't even in the least upset with me & still calmed me & reassured me that he'd be in time to deliver my certs. Thank God I managed to postpone the interview (of course not by telling them the real reason!) to half an hour later & I went back with him to get all that I needed. It's a big relief that by the time hubby dropped me at the doorstep, I still had about 5 mins to recompose myself. Phew!
3 days before I left my previous company, I thought of giving my colleagues a small treat. Hubby was so supportive that he volunteered to get me all I needed. He said whatever I wanted he would get them for me. To make things simpler for my honey, I "ordered" 2 dozens of donuts from Donut Factory and some pies & puffs from Polar (mainly for my Muslim colleagues) & he had them delivered right to my office while I was busy with my reports. Hubby's attentiveness has indeed gained praises from my ex-colleagues & 1 of them even asked whether Vince has a younger brother to introduce to another colleague.. hehe.
And about my last week's purchases, hubby aka my shopping buddy, didn't bat an eyelid & even went all out to search for some items with me. Instance(1)4 I also bought a grey jacket from Esprit besides those that I mentioned previously. We saw it in Marina Sq's but I initially wanted a black one. but we're told that only 1 black piece was left in Centrepoint after checking their record & as sale item couldn't be reserved, we quickly rushed there to get it. We've no idea whether their e-system or the Centrepoint outlet screwed up, there's no sight of such jacket.. not even the grey one. After combing their store (which's huge) for more than half an hour, we gave up but this time, I insisted they kept a grey one at MS. So hubby drove me back to MS to get it. (2) The Warehouse flap tote which I set my eyes on but I wanted to consider. The next day I decided to buy it but we couldn't find at Wisma's. We went to a few places in search of Warehouse but didn't know they have limited outlets. So eventually hubby had to bring me back to MS again. Hmm. Hubby has never complained about the back & forth trips as well as the expensive parking fees chalked up especially on Sat in town.
So at Aldo, where I got 2 handbags at 1 go, I bought a nice watch for hubby as reward. Hee.
And yes, I also bought a pretty bracelet watch while hubby bought a birthday present for one of his colleagues that's shared with the others. Frankly, I haven't been shopping since our Korea trip but I just couldn't stop buying once started!!
About 2 weeks ago, I did some online purchases and was waiting for them anxiously as I wanted them for my 1st day of work. My dear hubby was well aware of that & I was very pleasantly surprised that he helped me to retrieve them fresh from customs clearance without having to go through sorting & job-queue which would take at least another day or 2. So it does pay to have a hubby to work there. :D
First day of work, we left home late partially because I'd tummy ache. I panicked as being late on first day was the last situation I would want to land myself in. Hubby again reassured me that he would make sure that I reach office in time. True enough, I arrived in 35mins & reported to my new office on the dot.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
