Marriage Made in Heaven

This is slightly late. OK, it was wwwaaaayyyy too late since this event was held last December. Never thought tis baby sister of mine, the lil princess of the house will be married. I mean, all of us in da house were always hoping she never grows up & remains the cute, little gal that everyone loved. By the way, for those who dunno, this sis of mine is born deaf. Reflecting upon this, her deafness has actually brought the whole family closer. Letting go can be tough, judging from the sight of Mum's tears & the way Dad hugged sis tightly when sending her off on the wedding day.

And boy, she has now turned into a beautiful Korean-looking lady & married to a nice & kind chap, who is also deaf. With his shoe designing job, Imelda Marcos would have made him her toyboy...:) Never got the chance to say a thing or two about them on the wedding nite. I must say the first moment I saw both of them looking into each others' eyes & signing to each other, something in my head (still dunno wat izzit) told me that they are really meant for each other. And it was saying to me like "Yes, tis is the guy my sis gonna get married to!!!".

The setting

A gathering of sorts for all the deaf attendees



The wedding nite went on, just exactly what everyone was asking for. Great company, great booze, great music & great ambience. I could really felt the vibration of love in that hall. Not forgetting also the showcase of deaf culture, blending nicely with the hearing people that nite. How I wish i could upload a deaf music performance here by Lily & Rahmat if not for the large sized file.

To Mei & Mike, this is just the beginning of a new journey. Do enjoy the ride of life together. It's not gonna be easy but faith, the care for one another & efforts of both parties will make the journey worthwhile enough to last u a lifetime. Just a piece of a bro's mind.....

 

Celebration of Union

Putting food aside, the actual reason for our recent Melaka was to witness an important event for our family. Bro & his gf, Janice moved a level up in their 8 years relationship (I think) by exchanging their vows on so-called auspicious date 090909. Total of 99 couples participated in a mass registration event on that day. Personally, I think the obsession of those auspicious marriage dates are all gimmick & has nothing to do with superstitions or customs whatsoever.

Anyhow, it was a beautiful celebration of unions on that day. Mom & Dad did not show it, but I knew they're really anxious & nervous about the day & anything else related prior to the day. Hard to explain it but it's like awaiting the birth of new baby in the family. Both families met for the first time but all talked as if everyone already knew of each other.

Congrats to the couple

Welcome to the family, Janice !!
