Our First Houseguests
I used to think marriage would turn my life upside down. On the other hand, it hasn't even sunk in. But little things do keep happening from time to time to remind us and leave us in awe. Like yesterday a friend asked if we would take care of his pet turtles while he was out of town. Well, of course we would. And so illar and chiller (yes, laugh it... more...

New Family
We are realizing shortly after marriage the funny nuances of living with a new person. He likes to snack whenwe get home from work; I like to hit the dinner plate. He likes to go out on Sundays; I like to stay at home. And he likes the air conditioning coooolllld; me not so much. It results in confusion, politeness, irritation and eventually laught... more...

Biji, My Grandmother
While chopping ginger for my black tea this morning I also chopped off a bit of my nail. The wedding magazines would have me off any kitchen work or house work when my wedding's just 10 days away, but what's a girl to do if she wants ginger tea. As I stood there looking at the stub of my nail, wondering if it would grow back in time for the wedding... more...

Love and Balance
Today is his cousin's wedding. We're all getting ready together - his mom, his sister and I. And his baby niece will be there too watching, wailing, bonding...

It actually began many years ago when I met the man I am now about to marry. Well, if I'm talking about the time when I first met him maybe I should say it began many many lifetimes ago... but that's another day.
