We remembered our 9th Official Marriage Anniversary yesterday with SMSes (cheap...ya..just RM0.12 x 2..hehehe).
Official means registered with the government whilst our registration with God is on 29th May.
Frankly, I am more incline to celebrate the solemnise date rather that the April Fool...as it is more meaningful although officially in the eyes of the government we are legal partners since 1st April. With the blessing and full ceremeony plus dinner...it is a wonderful experience, a declaration to our relatives and friends where everyone will send in their best wishes...we are king and queen for the day !
In fact, in May that particular year, I still remember two other friends (Mr. Tee and Stephen C.) also ended their bachelorhood. Mr. Tee reminded to go for 10th Anniversary big do (he proposed during our last kopi-talk).
I think so, may be go for another honeymoon in Europe (10 days) as my first one was Gold Coast, Australia (4 nights/5 days). This year, we will not go far except for KL/Genting trip in May 2008, as need to conserve M-power for house renovations.
***
Appreciation to reflect on this life partnership is crucial and needed for long term. In our Catholic Church, we have programme for marriage renewal blessing for spouses to renew their vows. It is to remind us on the vow that we took and announce it to all..."in sickness and in health, in poor and in wealth, we will remain united to the last day"
***
But before the 10th...I must first prepare well for the 9th Anniversary's gift/celebration...(as my few seniors had warned me over the years...don't play-play with the home minister (now cracking my head...)).

how much is the reg of marriage fee in m'sia? In S'pore will be S$26. for both foreigner will be S$128 (weekday's rate).
Normal marriage is still RM30.00 for local or foreign. However, special marriage certificate shall be more expensive at least RM100.00.
Special here means that the foreigner need not to stay in Malaysia for at least 7 days before marriage registration.
MGB, Happy Belated Anniversary. Wishing you and your spouse good health and may God Bless your family.
Thanks mate.
