Beautifully Imperfect
"It's these small things you remember; little imperfections that make them perfect for you."
Produced and directed by acclaimed and award-winning film director Yasmin Ahmad, it is a story about how imperfections make a relationship perfect. (For MCYS to encourage young Sporeans to get married and not be choosy :P)
The story shows a widowed wife talking about how she appreciated her late husband's imperfections and how the love they shared helped him to overcome those imperfections.

I teared when I first saw this advert in my cousin's house. It was so heartfelt, down-to-earth. Of course, as I read the daily newspaper, there were mixed reaction to this advert. " Are you telling me that you want me to get married and not choosing my partner carefully?" "He/She is going to be my partner for LIFE, how can I not choose properly?", and the list goes on...
Having married and coming to three years of marriage this coming Nov 09, I sometimes ponder on this short video clip. It makes me ponder on the things that hubby does, and do that sometimes irritate me. But after awhile, I just have no choice but to adapt to it. But you know what? When I try to adapt to it, I don't get that irritated after all. Hehehe.
Last night he came back from class (about 11pm++) feeling weak and all that... I thought was just the usual flu and cough thingy that we always get when we're sick. But after all the commotion, I touched his forehead and ears and body, it was HOT! Hmm. I did panic awhile, but he told me he took one tablet of panadol, so I thought it should be ok. Woke up every now and then to check on his fever, and this morning, same thing. 5am++ I woke up and started to sponge him.
I left for work after that, late, because had to tend to him and it was raining as well. I reached office, and somehow, I didn't feel right because I'm not sure if he's gonna be alright. I told my immediate superior about this, and he told me to go home straight! I tried calling hubby, but he didn't pick up the phone, and when I reached home, his phone was on silent mode and yes, still sleeping! Checked his temperature, still hot! Quickly got him up to see the doc. 39degC! That was really high! After having lunch, took his medication, I boiled barley, and his temp seems to be going down. Doc gave him 3 days of MC just to make sure there's no fever after the 3rd day else, need to check for dengue, malaria, chikukuniya.
I felt relieved and good that I made the right choice to come back home to see to him. "In sickness & in health".. this phrase came to me... Hehehe.. and right now, I'm working from home.. argghh! But it's all worth it when I know I'm "here" for him, when he really needed me...Something that is expected of a "good & loving" wife, right? *wink wink*
