---

Today is such a wonderful day where the flowers seems to be at its glorious-est, the air is at its freshest and the people seems to be at their finest.

Like I said in last post, I'm bad in giving words to situation.

Today, I would like to tell you lucky readers a love story. A normal yet heart melting love story.

Around the year of 1979, a fine young lady of age 17 and her family moved to Kuala Lumpur from her hometown, Perak after the death of her loving father. With the help of her eldest brother, they manage to settle down and got herself a job. But due to the high living expenses and the amount of siblings of this young lady have, mother of this young lady has to do something to support the family. So, this old lady got herself a noodle stall business. Because the old lady's stamina deteriorating, this young lady took up the responsibility of her mother and take care of the noodle stall everyday after work.

As time passed and million bows of Penang prawn noodle had been sold, it is still the same old normal ordinary peaceful day for this young lady till one fine day, a group of man came by the stall for meal. As the new comer of the village, this young lady then was informed about the story of this group of man being bullies and are a trigger of fight scene. Of course, being at such young age, this lady being very careful to not trigger THE trigger.

Being one of the man from the group of fellow bullies, this buffed young man wanted to do as the older one does, courting girls. And so, he though of dating one of the lady, any lady, from the stalls. Of course, this Perak origin young lady is out of this buffed man's list as her always being hostile to them.

Some years later, around the year of 1981, as the young lady age 20, she's still taking care of the noodle stall everyday after work and this place also became the hang out place of the buffed young man. One fine late evening, where most of the stalls had already closed and went home, this young man came by for supper, he has no choice but to have Penang prawn noodle sold by this young lady. It is a peaceful normal ordinary night, but neither of them both knew, it is a new beginning of something special.

This young man, after finishing his noodle, he went home and doze off until he was awaken by his aching stomach and endless toilet visit. He got diarrhea from the noodle but surprise enough that all his other mate got no such thing. That night, he promised not to every have Penang prawn noodle of that stall again. However, as the increasing count of dining at that area, this young man find this young lady is so charming in her very unique way. All his fellow mates thought he had gone mad. This young lady is so well known being cold and hostile towards them. Furthermore, they do not see the charm in her.

Regardless of the disagreement of fellow mates, this young man decide to go after her. He begin befriend with her, bribe her sister with sweets and snack, proving to her that the rumours she got from fellow stalls mates are not true. He did not give up no matter how many time this young lady turn him down. She finally gave in and got touched by his determination. Although she do not have any chemistry towards this young man but she agreed for a date. And the flower buds begin to bloom after the first date. They started seeing each other more frequent and got into a relationship.

After 2 years of relationship, one fine evening, this young lady came back from work and her mother started scolding her for not informing her about the engagement. This young lady was so lost that she entirely no idea what had happened. After making things clear only does she knows that this young man came by with his mother to get consent from this young lady's mother for the engagement of this young lady and he himself.

Of course, this young lady is so angry that this young man did not even gave her a proper proposal before getting consent from her mother. But, since they have affection for each other and had also dated for two years, she decide to marry this young man.

However, as the wedding date is near, all kind of words starting to get to this young lady asking if she really going to marry a big bully and telling her how bad behaviors this young man possessed. Despite all the bad feedbacks, this young lady's affection towards this young man prevails.

26 years later, on the same day and month of today, which is 19th March 1983, they got registered, married and announced as man and wife. Being so afraid to be a wife at such young age, this young lady took out all her courage and did her best to shower the family with love, proving to the villager that she had married the right man. As for this young man, he turn over a new leaf and begin his life as a husband, giving food to the family and he had also quit mingling around with all his former bully buddies.

A year later, the delivery of their first baby girl gave more joy and laughter to the family. This young man soon realise he wants to give more to the family. He want to give the best education and living environment to his new member of the family. So he decided to take the risk and set up his own company. With very limited education background but well experience and skills, and the help of some good man, he manage to run his company so well and even started saving for the down payment of their new house.

Four years after the first birth, they again welcome a new baby girl. With a small kid on his shoulder and a toddle in her arm, together they go for family activities to further enhance the love between each of them. And good news continuously announced by them. They got their third baby girl 2 years after the second. And, they also announced that they bought a new house in one of the developed town not far from the couple's parents.

This couple gave the best to their family. They bring their kids for all kinds food and to all kind of places. They send their child to the best school in town, send them for piano classes, tuition classes, swimming class etc. Their pace never slow down till the economy down-pour, 1997. They are forced to cut down the living expenses. Although they stop sending their kids to non-educational classes like piano classes and swimming classes, they still manage to keep the family in good shape, physically and mentally, they manage to tie the family together so tightly even in such bad situation where a lot of the families begun to break.

Together, they crossed the down pour and even expended their company. They send their eldest daughter to study overseas and give the family a well life. Their favourite pass time would be a drive to the city and envy over those big bungalow. And they made a promise. They will soon move in to one those houses that they envy. And they did not back their promise. They bought a semi-detach house in a town well known and so strategic that they call it the golden triangle. They send their child to the prestigious colleges and universities with such high hopes that someday they'll be a successful person.

As time pass, they celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, they been to so many honeymoon, they watch how their child grow and graduate.

They go through high and low together hand in hand. Although endless obstacles they will have to face, but this does not stop them from being together and lovely. They strongly believe that every obstacles will only make a person stronger.

Today, they celebrate their 26th Wedding Anniversary. There wont be a cake, no presents, no expensive dinner, but there will always have their family together celebrating this important day.

Their child, hereby would like to take this opportunity apologies to this lovely couple for them giving endless disappointment and disobedient, making them worry, and endless crying in the middle of the night with our problems.

Here, I specially dedicate this post to my out-going, fun-loving, lovely and wonderful wonderful Dad and Mom.

HAPPY 26TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!

The wise man once said, falling in love and getting married is easy, but keeping a marriage, it's a full time difficult job where not every couple could do that. Its an art. Art of Life. One must be very dedicate to this job, always fill the family with laughter and shower it with love.

Okay, I'm not a very wise person nor it I'm in a marriage. So, I have no strong platform for me to say further about marriage.

But what I would like to say is, dad, mom, if you're reading this, I just want you to know how much I love you two. 26 years ain't easy. I am even thinking if I will get married in the future as you two always says no one will want me. Hmph..!!

And, I will never stop laughing at mom being Ms Perak, dad being unromantic (did not propose to mom but get consent directly from mom's mother) and that we were adopted from the dump site. We will continue blame mom for us having big ass, flat nose, no eye brows and lashes, big legs and such little hair; and dad for having big mouth, curly hair(LM only), small eyes, dark skin, flat chest (does not refer to LM) and ugly nails. BUT I SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE WHAT I AM NOW, except for my flat chest.
