MARRIED by Malaysian Law

SINGLE by Chinese Tradition

Yesterday was a beautiful and memorable day for me and my WIFE. Yes! My WIFE. We were lawfully bonded and pronounced Husband and Wife at 9:30 am at Thien Hou Temple.

It was a nice morning. The fact that we were 2nd in the list that morning, and due to the traffic along the Federal Highway, we woke up at 6:30 am. We arrived at 9:00 and waited for our turn. Everyone was there, me my future wife and our witnesses...except for one person ("kanasai, tak kang cze tao' = kanasai, always late), our cameraman (who is my BESTEST childhood buddy). As we were chit-chatting and anxiously waiting, the number on the electronic board started to jump. We soon realised that it's our turn. But we knew we couldn't go in yet, we couldn't start the ceremony because we want our special moments to be captured and be kept alive. So we asked for an extension of time.

Chris arrived 5 mins later, and soon we headed to the room, signed our papers, took our vows.

(Guess which one is Chris!)

The environment was very tense, but in the end, after those 3 words were uttered "WO YUEN YI..." everyone felt relieved. We shook hands, took some photos and that's it. In the name of law, I'm no longer SINGLE..... But being a Buddhist, we still have to go through some traditional ceremonies before we are considered a couple.

There are so much preparations to be made, but yet in the end, I know all our efforts will pay off. It's a kind of feeling which no words can describe. It's as though the whole world is yours. Well, you gotta go thru this on your own, then you'll understand.

I'd like to thank everyone who has sacrificed their time and put in their effort in making OUR dreams come true especially to TBT, Ah Yin and Chris. Thanks a lot...

To all my friends who are still SINGLE, DO NOT ENVY ME because....I DO ENVY YOU..... HAHAHHAHAHHAA.....
