Term of endearment

This came to mind last night as I was about to sleep. I was felling rather sick last night-told my dear husband that I think that I have a slight fever-hoping for a bit of sympathy but what do I get-NOTHING. He fell a sleep right away. Then it got me thinking(funny what is in your mind when you are feeling sick)

We do not have any term of endearment, I mean some of you call each other -Abang, Adik, some of you Abang, sayang, some darling, and other panggilan. We have nothing. I call my husband his second name, at first to annoyed him but it kindda stuck, I kindda like it as nobody call him by his second name. He call me....emmmm let me think, oh ya he call me "awak" as in you. How romantic is that?? I did ask him to call me "sayang" and do you know what was his replied "tak nak, nanti orang kata mengada-ngada". How can calling your wife sayang be a mengada-ngada?? I really don't get it, but on the other hand, I refused to call him 'abang'-to me why should I call him 'abang'-he is not my brother. Come to think about this I don't even call my own brother Abang. So, I guess we are even in this department.

Anyway, it's too late to start calling each other differently now. We've known each other for 10 years, been married for 7 years. I guess at the end of the day it does not really matter what you call each other as long as you love each other right?? Agree with me people- I need the assurance!!!!
