Everlasting love..

With the passing of Mrs Lee, or Mdm Kwa.. the love story between her & MM were always flashing on the media.  And it really touches my heart that they shared a strong knitted relationship over 63 years, especially during the times when MM started in career in politics and the times that she was bed-ridden for 2 years.  Little did I know she was contributing so much in little ways in the life of her spouse and partner.

It was really heart wrenching when I watched the news of MM entering where the wake was held, gazing at his wife's photo.. He doesn't look like the MM whom I knew of since young, the man who is always so stern & sharp.. Now he looked so lost without his life-long companion around him..

Not that I agree with the things he did or regulations set by him, but I really do feel inspired by the love they shared.  MM shared that he likes reading the Christian wedding vows as it signifies the love between he & his wife..

"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part."

It's really sweet to have someone to grow old with.. :)

Ring Fingers

came across this on a blog.. just to share :)

Have you ever wonder why do we wear our wedding ring on the 4th finger?

Now, here is a beautiful and convincing explanation given and believed by the Chinese.

• Thumb represents your Parents
• Index finger represents your Siblings
• Middle finger represents yourself
• Ring finger represents your Spouse
• Little finger represents your Children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back. Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (as shown in the pic above).

Now, try to separate your Thumbs (representing your parents).
They will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong and will have to leave you sooner or later.

Next, please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing your siblings).
They will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Then join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children).
They will open too, because your children will also get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you simply cannot do so!
Because husband and wife have to remain together all their lives, through thick and thin!

awwww... so sweet!!
