deep thoughts in 2010

Is 2010 the beginning or the end of the decade? For me and my hubby, it's the beginning of our 2nd decade of marriage. I can confidently say (at this moment, at least) that there will be several decades to follow. I have my husband to thank for this confidence. I didn't plan any kind of speech at our party and didn't say a lot things that I should have. I wanted to note this down 'coz it's been nagging me all day. People who know the two of us will know that we are really quite complete opposites. I was born in HK but raised partly here, partly in England and partly in Dallas, TX. He was born in Fujian, PRC, partly raised there and partly in HK. Imagine the cultural differences! We always marvel at how fate, destiny, serendipity brought us together. I'm loud, (sometimes) reckless, outspoken, untamed and uncompromising, but fairminded whilst he is thoughtful, serious, meticulous, responsible and ambitious but opinionated. I am most unsporty, I like (live) to party, sing, dance, play and party some more whilst he likes hiking, all other sports (except water and snow ones), to make plans, have serious thoughts and sleep. I like hot and cold weather alike but he is afraid of the cold and prefers to stay dry when near the sea. He is always thinking two steps ahead of me and whenever I thought something happened by chance, it usually turns out he had it all planned out. I'm spontaneous but he's not, yet when it comes to entertainment, it is the only time that he doesn't know how to get his planning skills to work. Notwithstanding all these differences and many others not listed, I love him for loving me and being my bestest friend. Despite our differences, we are so in love that it feels like I love him more each day. I want to thank him for being supportive, loving and caring and despite being a bit opinionated most of the time, I thank him for being tolerant of me. I love you!
