Yesterday night, I wasn't watching the the Sichuan earthquake show. I was at a wedding dinner. The bridegroom is actually my cousin's son. So he is one generation after me. Look at this photo. (I hope he doesn't find this blog and this photo, if not i would just get killed. And i really can't be bothered to blanko out the eyes)


Can you guess what's their age??

.....

.......

The bridegroom..... is the same age as me. 20 freaking years old. And the bride.......... ONLY 18! No your eyes didn't play a trick on you. She's only 18.

Yes my reaction was the same as yours when the bridegroom's parents came to give the wedding invitation card to us, and my parents were telling me his age. I was totally OMG-ING.... and when I saw the newly weds yesterday, my mind just kept playing one phrase- OMG. (Btw, the bridegroom is really short. shorter than his wife, shorter than me)

Yes, it's a shotgun marriage. In fact, the 18-year-old wife had an abortion before already. This is the 'second child'. My mum kept telling me that my cousin's kids are all very ah beng and ah seng one. She was right, I guess. I still can't believe it. The bride and bridegroom's parents are merely in their 40s, already awaiting a grandchild. My parents are already near 60, nowhere near getting a daughter-in-law despite having a 30-year-old son. Oh well.

One day, my tuition teacher just had this sudden urge to ask me something. Her sms went exactly like that: In ur uni, how liberal r d studnts in havg sex? Wantd 2 ask u in my home tat day bt 4got. Newsp said uni studnts havg at least once a wk sex, some evn in public.

I was shocked at her msg. I've read about such reports as well and I know how liberal students can be in the halls and stuff but i'm definitely one of the naive ones. Aft telling her my views, she replied: R u 1 of d liberal ones? Read they even do it in hostel rm dorm even wth doors open. tink cool. I think gettg out of hand- accounts 4 increas abortn+loose culture.

I am certainly not one of the liberal ones. In fact, i'm probably one of the most conservative ones. Innocent and totally dun believe in pre-marital sex. Religion really plays a huge part in this. And i still believe that the best gift you can ever give to your husband is your virginity. Hopefully, I can find a guy who thinks the same as me. How many of such guys are still left in this world??

I was really curious yesterday, and i decided to ask my dad how he met my mum (of course, when my mum wasn't around, haha). Their love story is really quite interesting. My dad was a policeman then, and my mum was already working in Singapore at that time (she was from Malaysia). Apparently, my mum called the police station trying to look for someone, but my dad was the one who picked up the phone and they just started talking.

Yes, I had the same puzzled face as you yesterday when i questioned my dad. So i asked, " Huh, why so weird and coincidental one?" And his reply was a really really good answer.

"It's just fate lah."

=) so totally cute rite? love my parents! =)
