2) Something expensive or hard to obtain.
3) Sumptuous living or surroundings: lives in luxury.
Extracted from American Heritage dictionary
My personal definition of a luxury is No 1 and 3. To me, a luxury doesn't have to be expensive. But it requires a heart of gratitude that is able to appreciate and enjoy the little things in life.
Some of my little luxuries of 2007
Luxury No.1: Capturing cute moments of our beloved dogs
He's so tall!!!
She always has that expression when she's naughty.Ah boy play-fighting with His Ger
He's not fierce at all! It's just part of their play.Ah Ger with her 'Are you angry with me?' look
P/S This time he didn't swallow the corn cob. He almost did though in his enthusiasm to get the whole thing.Luxury No. 2: Enjoying my Favourite Cup of Tea /Coffee with Hubby
We were actually at Olio Dome. Looks like the cups from my house hor.My Favouritest Teh-Gor
This was a gift from QuanMiin. Our deepest thanks to them. We drank countless cups of Earl Grey and even served guests of 4 with this pretty little device. The filter is actually made of a small glass cup with slits to enable water to pass thru. With this, we can enjoy earl grey brewed from tea leaves rather than tea bags.Chinese Tea with Mooncakes
We started eating our mooncakes a month before mooncake festival.Nanas Galore
This was taken at R.K. House coffee Shop near Chomp Chomp. Yea R.K. house is the place where the pork (no pork) incident supposedly took place.Luxury No.4 : Enjoying the outdoors while lao gong fishes and listening to his exciting fishing stories
Yea I've (finally) come round to the fishing issue. It was only recently, when lao gong went for an offshore fishing trip that I realised I no longer felt unhappy when he went fishing. (I can hear Limin cheering for me =P) Think after being married for slightly more than a year, we've come to a deeper understanding of each other. All credit to God who's the One who has sustained our marriage and the love between us as husband and wife. Luxury No.5 : Collecting & Reading Christian books
This collection was given to me by my 'Angel' last year when our previous cell played the 'Angel Mortal' Game. The angel later on became our mei mei =)Here comes my two Greatest Luxuries...
Greatest Luxury No. 1
Fellowship and Quiet Time with God and His Word
Sometimes I don't appreciate the time where I really sit down at His feet and listen to Him and learn from Him. But I realise that my happiest moments are when I can feel Him by my side, holding my hand, guiding me, talking to me. God is indeed amazing. Sometimes I find it so incomprehensible why someone as awesome as Him can love us ordinary human beings so much. Thank you God for your love and your awesome blessings upon our lives =D
Great Luxury No. 2
Being married to my lao gong =D
Though we have our storms and crises, this has been one of the best years of my life. The time spent with you, laughing, doing simple things together, doing complicated things with you, being pampered by you, being lectured by you, your sometimes almost unbearable nagging, working together with you, learning how to respect you, just being close to you...
Having so many beloved people celebrating our union together with us...I can't imagine life without you now...Your wisdom, Your strength, Your gentleness, and Your love...Thank God for giving me such a wonderful man...
