Blessed One Year To My Amazing Wife.


I still can’t believe this is true, but today is my beautiful wife and my first anniversary! We have married one year ago today on November 22nd, 2014 at Tanarimba, Bukit Tinggi. It was a magical setting and fit both of our personalities perfectly. We wed in front of rustic, chilly weather with the view of a beautiful pond just beyond the arch. Tania and I a lovers of all things vintage. She's a person who loves 'options' and I am a creative person, Together, we created a ceremony that embodied both.

I remember last year, at this very time, I was waking up with butterflies in my stomach, donning a gorgeous suit, a giant list of to-do’s scrolling through my mind, and the comforting thought that I'm finally marrying the finest, the most beautiful girl, God ever put on this earth.

What a year! An indescribable, humbling feeling, to be loved that much by my wife. I just want to start by saying;

Thank you, baby,

Thank you for beaming, dashing towards me and hugging me every time I walk into the room. Thank you for going to the movies with me, watching Marvel films even though you really wanted to watch some artsy fartsy films and be inspired. Thank you for being the best personal 'Timmy's solo futsal training' cheerleader, running around the pitch like a small kid hoping to tickle a laugh off me and tell me to believe in my futsal training process. Thank you for helpfully offering to carry my guitars, my heavy effects pedalboard, and my heavy work bag even though you carry a back injury yourself. Thank you for learning all the words on my worship list, singing them out in harmony with the little kid voices, and practising them with me. Thank you for reminding me every night for a year to pray together and make our bedroom a prayer altar for God. Thank you for your utter confidence in my dressing sense. Thank you for transitioning yourself to understand my heart for people. Thank you for laughing at all my jokes, and entertaining all of my lame jokes too. Thank you for waking up earlier to prepare me breakfast so I won't leave the house on an empty stomach. Thank you for your endless attention to my oat intake supplies and for buying them at NSK, braving through the OKR crazy traffic. Thank you for calmly shepherding me into the shower when I stayed up too late working in the studio. Thank you for meeting my eyes each time we have a conversation.

Thank you, thank you and thank you.

What I am really saying, what I really mean, is that I hope I can spend the rest of my life saying this to you and showing this to you 'till death do us part 

Here’s to many, many, many 'lightning strikes'.
Many, many, beautiful years to come. And prayerfully a love that will continue to give us both understanding and respect and grow deeper with the Lord daily.

Blessed one year to my amazing wife and here’s to many more lol's, tears and joy-filled days with you.

I love you, baby!

Back From Blogging Hiatus

Yes! I was about to add a new blog entry and realised it's been years since I blogged last. Just two days ago, I dropped the 'blogspot' word from my domain name. Yay! I'm back and I'm trying to revive my blog after years of hiatus.  I've been feeling guilty about it almost every day (it's a lie) and I needed some sort of inspiration to start blogging again. So I decided to switched my blog's URL (domain name) from www.timmy-lai.blogspot.com to www.timmylai.com.  I hope this move will give me some sort of motivation to start  blogging again... *Excuses Excuses Excuses The truth is I don't want to buy a domain name and continue sitting around procastinating. Here you go. :)

Mental Photograph ( Part Two )

So far, there's never been a puff, bang, boom for me. Nothing even close, for that matter. Sure. there was my ex. Some people at church seemed to think we were perfect for each other and every now and then I'd run into her at church. We chatted once at church bookshop for a minute or so about nothing important and then amicably go our separate ways. There's had been a few before my ex, of course. I wasn't entirely clueless when it came to women, after all. I found them attractive and interesting, but more than that, I was genuinely fond of them. I was proud of the fact that I'd never shed a tear from the recent break-up despite remotely be considered a painful one. Not all breakups are mutual. Thankfully most of it petering out like a soggy fuse on a fire cracker as opposed to the big kaboom of fireworks overhead. I considered myself still friends with all my exes - R* ( lives in Indonesia now ) included - and figured they'd say the same thing abo...
