6 years and counting

When years are passing by like days,

and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face,
a simple touch can still make my heart race.

When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed were happy tears we've cried.

I love you as much now as I ever did before,
if possible, I may even love you more,
all starting from a feeling we did not ignore,
a feeling of connection we chose to explore.

I don't know what it is that you saw in me,
what I saw in you was the utmost happiness
that can ever be,
even more so on the day when you and I
became "We",
I can still smile and say with love and
truth Honey, I love you...Happy Anniversary.

Do you remember what we had to go through to be together? And every time you come home from work thousands of miles away... and we would reminisce on those difficult days and you would look at me and say we are here now.. I love you...

Kayaking Experience

The ladies ...

The unlucky ones

look serene ain't it?

Yesterday morning, our office had another session on pre-preparation for Pulau Perhentian getaway. Where is Perhentian Island? Google it .. its in Malaysia .. second best for snorkelling and sun bathing after Sipadan Island. I've been to Sibu Island and Pangkor.. but I am very sure Perhentian Island would out rank those two Islands. This time it was Kayaking. The location of the kayaking session was near the female sport complex. You have to walk further up the slopes until you reach a small reservoir. The water was dark and murky but as long as you can put a boat on it and paddle; it'll serve its purpose :-)

It was my first experience kayaking. First, we had a technical session on how to hold the long paddle. How to Row, turn and reverse..How to even get into the kayak :-). First, I went in on a double seater with Imah. She became the lead and sat on the back. We rowed and rowed until we reach the middle of the reservoir. Imah became tired so we rowed back. Well what do you know .. i became alil bit excited after the first round and opted to take another round .. alone!!! he he he. I rowed until most of the guys went up .... rowed back towards the shallow water... and embark. BTW, I got stuck .. man it was embarassing but what the heck!!! Its an experience I won't forget.

While walking back after the 3 hour session, it reminded me of the time I and my family were strolling along Oxford Canal in Oxford. The water was much more clearer and nicer of course. There was such a fuss and lo and behold ... there was a race between the colleges in Oxford. They were using the similiar type of kayak but instead of paddle .. they were using this rowing oars... I will try to find some pics and post it up...

Oxford canal is a 77 mile long canal. Above is one pic of the canal.
