First Wedding Anniversary

Today, first of August, two thousand and eight, is our first wedding anniversary. It's pretty amazing and unbelievable that we have already been married for a year. Maybe happy time really passes more faster than you could imagine. People have been asking and wondering how we could manage to stay physically apart after married. I would say with no doubt it is a tough situation to cope with. That's why I appreciate so much what my wife has done to make this happen smoothly and to convert all the possible unhappiness into joyfulness!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow....our 1st Anniversary!! The images of our wedding are still so vivid and fresh that I can't believe that it all happened 365 days ago. It's really difficult for us to stay apart...We always miss each other but both of us tried to be tough and fully utilise our free time so that there's not much room to feel the loneliness.

Married life is sweet and happy because you know your better-half stand-by and support you all the time. You can rely on him and always get his comfort.

I have lived with my parents-in-law for around 8 months now and things are running on track. It is not easy to live with parents-in-law, simply because we have different family culture, however, try to look from their angles...life would be easier. Try not to get consensus at all times, it is impossible to set a too ideal picture ....I learnt to relax when things are not under my control.

Wish God would give me more wisdom to handle problems and fix family issues.


I'd like to say thanks to our family and our dear friends for their love and support throughout the year. They are my 'emotion-pillars' :P

Happy Anniversary, my hubby...See you soon...

Our news update

I have returned to Hong Kong and started my new job already. Yes, we're now physically apart. Hugo is staying in U.S and continuing his busy research. It is uneasy for us but with our rich experience in keeping long distance relationship, we managed to survive after all these sleepless nights.

I am now living with my parents-in-law. We're a 'Cook-free"family because each of us need to work and we have dinner outside every weekdays. Still trying to figure out some ways to live more healthier.

My new colleagues are all nice and helpful. The culture is totally different from HIT, my previous company. I need to get familiarised with the work flow and all the regulations here with a different sets of mind. I confessed that I was wrong to perceive that most of the civil servants are lazy and stupid. After a 1-week training, I realised that the job is actually quite fasinating and people in the same rank are actually smart and committed. I will try to perform well and get into my job.

Super Pass!

Thanks for viewing our news! You are cerified to be our good friends because you are still with us here reading our news (after we married for 105 days now).

A good news for u.....Both of us passed our Probation on 1 Nov with satisfactory performance! There's still room for improvement but it's a very good start. Thanks god for all this!

I think I'm lucky because I don't need to work after married - though only the first few months(simply because i don't have work permit in U.S and I have a plan to return to work, not because I'm rich nor I'm lazy), we have more time to get together. It could be very stressful if a couple need to work all the time and don't have enough time to talk.

In this three months, I can really set all the trouble aside and only play my role as a good wife. Cooking all the time and cleaning the house. This is a good experience because I could never imagine to 'stop working for months!!" ...I thought I would be bored to death....but the truth is I enjoy being a housewife... I have all my time to do things I like...going to library and explore new books...and just online and online without any time constraints...

After around 2 weeks time, I'll need to return to Hong Kong. I am a bit worried because I already get used to this relaxed mode. I must start to heat up myself and resume my passionate to work! The most challenging thing is I need to leave my husband for a long while....that could be tough......

So, how's our life in U.S?
10 out of 10. You know, we enjoy our married life so far and there's nothing better than seeing your loved one everyday. In fact, both of us are very busy all the time. (Okay, I made myself busy...)

Our typical weekdays: Wake up late...(coz we stay up late working on computers...Hugo conducts his research work and I always facebooking or chatting with my friends) Then I will cook at home and deliver my 'products' to Hugo. I am a very good chef! You can find some of my masterpiece in the photo album.
In the afternoon, I will read newspaper and do housework and start cooking again around 5.

On every Monday & Wednesday, I attend classess and walk around downtown till 4 and take the shuttle bus home. We'll also hang out with our friends occasionally. We also have fun parties and gatherings from time to time.

This is just a kind of dream life and we treasure every moments...Very soon..I'll return to Hong Kong......so I am now trying to cool down.....that would be a great challenge to both of us.
