First Love

Immediately after my Form 5, I went to work in a textile factory in Taiping. My husband was working in the engineering department. Every time, when I walked past his work place, I could feel that someone was watching me. There was also a supervisor in that department who was much elderly.

One day, this supervisor met me and gave me a tiny note. It was from my husband. He wanted to fetch me to the factory night which fell on Labour day. I said, "Ok!"

Later in the evening, the supervisor took my husband to my house. I met him for the first time. He was rather shy. So I agreed to let him fetch me on that evening for the factory night.

I tried to dress well and he came to my house on time. He used his father's car and when we reached the factory, he led me to the seats for the performances. We sat together and I remembered I offered him my apple. But he was too shy to take it.

From then on, he used to come to my house after work. And guess that's when courtship started. I began to fall in love for the very first time..

    That's very interesting...now it would be more interesting if you tell us what made him observe you from the beginning? What was that spark? And what made you say OK? Just curious...

    So the older man served as a go-between, chaperone, and father figure for your both.

    Thank you for sharing this tender and human story of YOU!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
