Gentle, melting eyes

Kak Nab and Che Mat Yahya our neighbors down the road held a wedding reception for their firstborn Aizad and new DIL Laila. It was held at Regency Alor Setar.

As far as wedding goes, this was a wedding with a difference... The wedding emcee sang along with the songs being played over the air! He practically committed murder!

Seems that the songs were selected by the groom himself, but I suspect the groom's mother had a lot to do with it...well wouldn't you agree since the groom is only 27 but the songs played were by Bee Gees, The Platters, Morris Albert and the likes. But the songs set the mood very nicely..it was after all, a wedding reception.

The groom seemed a painfully shy young man but who was determined to give his bride something to remember of their wedding, so when the emcee announced that they wanted the newly weds to take their first dance as a married couple, he pulled his wife tight, looked into her eyes, and whispered 'I Love you' and danced oblivious to all watching them. The song was Only You.

I whispered to my daughter sitting beside me...he loves her more than she him. It was obvious in the way he held her and in his gentle, melting eyes.

Lucky bride...I thought to myself. Good for her if my observation was right, cos the road ahead is narrow and long, and a woman needs a loving man by her side, always. Something all long married women would agree..hmmm?

Good luck to the new married couple, and don't let the pressure of your jobs get in the way of your love for each other. (Both are air traffic controllers with DCA and stationed in Kuching. Oh boy! talk about highly stressful jobs!) Maintain your sense of humour always as sometimes that is the only thing that keeps your heart from breaking.




Thanks to K Nab who rekindled my friendship with her younger sister Leha. We were the best of buddies, partners in crime in standard 6 and only her asthma kept us apart when it stopped her from joining me in TKC.

PS Bruce, mommy will get you a top hat and glasses just like that pic when you marry...

Ya cik ja,

Kak leha has metamorphosed into an elegant lady, walaupun anak 7 (simpan 1)orangnya slim kalahkan most anak dara.

Kak Nab suruh kak bawak ayang nak pegu dgn anak sulung Leha, dia kata ensem...ayang kata , tak pun...tapi engineering student dok ngaji kat France. Kak kata...ala ayang pejam mata jer...Ensem lagi ada sorang lagi mamat pakai baju stripe ala2 zebra, tp tatau sapa! Kahkahkah!

Anyway bruce in top hat will be even more ensem dari dlm gambaq tu kan Bruce...?

Cik som!

I ingat yang 8 I ada dah cukup byk! Rupa2nya, i di kalahkan oleh cik som. Kalau boleh sembelih buat gulai macam kambing kan baguih? Sorang ada 4 kaki, tapi tak boleh tlg apa punkat rumah.

Kalau u nak berbesan dgn I...boleh, tapi I nak menantu yg rajin, jadi you kena lah start crash course depa, ajaq masak ka, picit2 mak mentua ka...kalau pandai semua tu, hantaran berapa pun I sanggup bayaq!

Habaq kat ayang, pilihlah yg cerdik dan berpotensi jd kaya-raya-maya.. Yg ensem tp x cerdik dan x kaya cuma buat menyemak donia.. Walau tak ensem tp dah ada duit, donia yg semak pun akan nampak kemas tersusun semporna..

Cik Som, baik u bersetuju dgn I.. Kalau tak, nnt I kawinkan kucing u yg paling comey dgn kucing Cik Anne ni yg plg huduh!!

Hello Anne, happy marriages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blossom when we love the one we marry.
And love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
And who being loved is poor?
You have a pleasant week, Lee.

Anne, katalah you nak sedulang hati nyamuk atau sedulang telur nyamok. Senang sikit I sediakan. Bruce tak pantang apa2 makanan kan?

Ja, I ni half-hearted to agree. Walau tak ensem tapi ada duit, what if dia miang? Cian anak kita.
Tak ensem, tak kaya n tak cerdik.., I ada kucing cam nih (hehe.. terus melencong nih)

Lee,

Well said...forever the romantic!

You know what wise men say...only fools rush in..my daughter's only 19, so I say, relax babe!

Who knows maybe she'll get someone like you...what say you?

anneaziz said...

cik som,

Ada duit, tapi tak ensem, and miang...hmmm...cian juga ye?

Alah tak payah lah ayang... mama carikan ustaz, mata kuyu, pandai mengaji ok?

Cik som, i pun banyak kucing yang fit that description...

kak ja said...

CikSom, dgn duit yg dia ada, mcm2 ubat gatai di pasaran yg kita bleh try.. hehehe..
