Eight

Being Chinese, eight is a significant number. It represents a series of good fortune. The pronunciation of Eight in Cantonese also sounds like “striking a fortune”. Chinese in general is all about money and wealth and more money and more wealth.

Today, eight years ago, Bruce and I met for the first time. I liked him right away. Within a couple of months, we’re in love.

It’s hard to express in words, especially with me writing, how I feel about our relationship. The only way I know how to put it is, we are still very in love.

I love you Buhmbee. Happy Anniversary.

    God, I hate you Miss Penang. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. Ok, I don’t really hate you, I’m just jealous. And I am very happy for you. Does Kansas have the common law marriage (I think thats what it is called). If you’re together for 7 years, you’re considered married. Congrats! Bake a cake!

    Thanks Colin. Well, it’s not the number of years that counts. It’s how you both are feeling in it. We won’t be making the 8 if we didn’t first make the 2’s.
