True love, till death do us apart..

Is it true love? They have been married for 72 years, and died together in an accident. Sobs...

True, long lasting love is hard to come by these days. Which is what makes a story like one so touching.

Gordon and Norma Yeager were the definition of soul mates. Having been married for 72 years, last Wednesday after a car accident, the lovers passed away within an hour of each other, holding hands as they crossed over.

The couple from Iowa were married the day Norma graduated high school in 1939. They are survived by their two children, Donna and Dennis, 14 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

Gordon is remembered as a sociable, fun loving party animal, while mum Norma was quieter, organised and considered a perfectionist. The couple rarely spent any time apart and according to their children 'were committed to each other for life'.

When the couple lay in hospital together holding hands after their accident, Gordon stopped breathing. But the heart monitor was still going strong because of Norma's heartbeat.

'Her heart was beating through him and picking it up,' Dennis said.

At their funeral on Tuesday, Norma, 90 and Gordon, 94, held hands while sharing the same casket. After they are cremated, their ashes will be mixed together, according to their family.

Thanks hun! And happy monthly-sary switie! We are now 2years and 10months! Woohoo!

One:: Your current relationship

I met him more than 3 years back, he's one of the hottest bachelor, I'm with someone else at the moment. He's pretty cute, and me, I'm just happy in a relationship. But once I was out of relationship, I was bored and trying to catch up so many things I left when I was in a relationship that I went wild. I date mostly everyone, went out almost everyday *with different people too* and I just love frogs, although I don't kiss them so that the could change to a prince. It was nice going out, dating and dining. Our mutual friends ask me along to their vacation, and him too. At first he was reluctant, but then he change his mind the last minute, and we sit together and the rest is history.

We had too much fun that night, and we went back, and we did not text each other. Somehow after that we did texting and skypeing each other pretty heavy and start dating, but still, we hang out with other people, afraid of committing and afraid that we make ourself miserable by committing. But by the end of the month, we were inseparable! So much of not committing anything :p

Well I guess I have pretty much talk bout how we met and stuff. Its only 2years and 8 month but I think I knew him all my life. Its cheesy yes, and its funny sometimes. At first, everything is mostly on lust and good lucks. But after a while, I found that there is more than his look. His sexy back for example :p Although at first I have no idea if this stud really like me or just passing his time. I am afraid, paranoid, and could not trust people fully. And this guy, is just content on annoying me or making me feel soooo unloved!

But after two years and eight months together, I could see the way he love me. So let me count the way. He did not tell me that I am the most beautiful people around, in fact he said I'm pretty ordinary looking. Buhuhu. However, he make me feel safe. At nights after dating, he'll make sure I'll arrive safely and locked all my doors then he'll go back. The way he hold my hand to cross the street even though I could cross much better than him. :P The way he steer me out of my favourite shops when I have no money. The way he abandon everything, just so I could get whatever I want. When he drives me home from Kuantan to Kota Tinggi when my dad is sick. The way he stays with em eventhough I am cranky, crazy and bitchy.  The way he assured me when I am burn with jealousy with oh,some other girls.

The thing is, I know he love me. He don't always show it, but I know. And officially missing him like craaaazy as he is now on his way to his home town, for two weeks. No calls, No text, and No MMS. Oh God.... But he did email me this morning. Gosh.

Okay, btw, as I was saying, I'm in relationship, with Mohammad Khyru and he is the most wonderful guy on earth, presently. If anything change, I'll tell you that, But since I just score a job and secure my pay checks, we could finally plan our wedding! Yippeee! Wish us luck everyone! XD

Love story: Baju tunang

She was walking around today with her mom and sister, when she spotted it. Light purplish with dark purple stones, she found it perfect for her engagement! But since she was broke, she just shrug it off, thinking of buying it later. But her mom & sis saw it too & urge her to try it. Its billowing, chiffon-ny material feel gorgeous, and her mom bought it for her. Perfect! Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, so could not put it up here, but will post a lot picture during the day itself. All I can say is that, it resembles here, but shorter hem and in light purple :

Btw, Thanks Mom! XD

Love story: Purple reign and modest white

She was born in February, an aquarius at heart, inconsistent, confused and always changing her mind, she baffled most people,including family, friends and foe. Her birth stone is amethyst, so it's probably why she love purple so much. Since its her decision to decorate and so on, she wants purple as her color. Variations of purple, creamy white and blackest black. She could already picture it all on her mind eyes.

The ring she like (above)

She was thinking, feather, white, fluffy feather with lots of creamy white rose and variations of purple orchid for her decorations.

Fat little orchid like this are the one she like best.

Just like the wedding above, incorporating little details she love, feather, orchids, purple and white. And gorgeous wedding plus gorgeous people.

And she had her eyes on this pretty sweet little number by Indonesian label.

Awww. Sweet, floaty, those sheer like outer clothes are just too pretty, But will probably just use baju kurung thou.

Or maybe a nice kebarung~

Breathtaking. Effortlessly chic! So, she still have few months to make up her mind, what will she do? Which option will she take? Stay tune to find out more~


xoxo

Love story: The Talk

It sounds scary isn't it? Most men dreaded the Talk when the girls say "we need to talk". Put it this way, usually girls will give the talk on things they a)disagree b)hate c)thinks the guy is not doing enough d)commitment. No wonder guys get scared!

Today, the girl and the boy had a talk. & not only them, but with the girl's parents too! They talk on wedding plans, the date, the risik (asking the girl if she is still single), tunang (engagement), nikah (the registration or wedding), hantaran (the gifts to each other) and so on. Such a serious talk but it had to be done. They need to work through their budget and think on what to skimp, what to save, and on must have. They decided a lot today. And we'll see how they get through it this time.

Already the dreamer and planner in the girl work extra extra hard. The themes, the color, the decoration, the favors. The list could go on and on and on. Since they are both fair, they chose white as their theme color. The boy wants all white, but agrees with anything the girl choose. So the girl added her favorite color as complimenting the white.

Since he is all the way from Sarawak, they will do the risik, tunang and nikah in one day or in a row. The reception will be held later on as both are still young, immature, and pretty much broke. :P And since they do not want anyone to sponsor, they will only nikah first and see when it fits to have their reception. During nikah, only family members will be invited (those who live few mere kilometers away) but somehow the girl wants to sneak in one or two (or even eight!) of her best and closest friends.

Her dad urged them to go for the pre wedding course first, and so they will try to fit in according to their *hectic* schedule. This weekend, already past. Next weekend, nope, he got a tournament. *Best of luck darling!* Two weeks from now...Hurm the place is not convenient. 1st May...Nope, her friend is getting married *Congratulations Mira!Bless you for embarking this journey so soon!* The second weekend? Maybeeee.. The third weekend? "I'm probably in Swiss by then,honey." ohhh. She's going to miss him soooooo effing badddd!Two freaking weeks, without communication!*Except for stray emails, or...could they IM each other?Probably.Hopefully...*

She's start thinking about the flowers. Oh she love her flowers. And she would want them in her wedding, no matter how broke they are. Pfttt. Should she have that mini dais? Or she could just prop her sofa as the dais? Well she's probably diy something on her way there. One of her friends call her multi purpose. So of course she could do that. Or attempt to, at least. XD

Well I wish them both best of luck, and hopefully they stay sober and in love amidst all this craziness.

Love story: Boy meet girl

Although I have met him a few times, we are never formally introduced. He was my then boyfriend's classmate. I am his friend's girlfriend. We exchange nod and smiles, but never talk to each other. We went to a gig one day, and we still being curt and polite. The next time we met each other, am a single girl, mending my heart, and in dangerous mood of flirting and charming the pants of people. He was there, as one of our mutual friends brings him along. As we are the only single person there, we walk, sit and eat together, and as I am one cunning bitch, I found his im and im him, and since he responding quite well, we start chatting mostly every day.

The semester break came and I went back to my hometown. We start texting each other by then. As I'm using maxis and he is Digi user, I top up mostly everyday and it start wearing me out and I changed my number to digi, and we text more. As the semester break is ending, I ask if he could pick me up and he said yes! I was so happy and there goes our first date. We went to cinema and watch e-wally (if am not mistaken, the robot and the girlfriend? Not sure. :P) and next we had dinner and as we walk out of the building I told him how clumsy I am and not even 5 seconds after that, I fall forward and luckily he catch me before I fall head first onto the pavement. We laughed so hard after that even when I was walking he was guiding me so that I didn’t fall again. :))

After that, it seems we spend our time mostly together. We text each other, and we date around, every weekend, we went out together. At first most of my friends told me not to pursue this guy as he is a heart breaker and no one could keep him. I told them I just want to have fun and it feels good to have such an arm candy beside me. I don’t even know when I fall in love with him or him with me.

The night before he asked me to be his girlfriend, we were walking together (another date~) and I was walking on some pavement that are raised a bit and it looks like I'm taller than him and he was saying "wah tingginya awek aku ni" and I smile coyly and asked, "eh kita bila couple?" and he just laughed.

The next day he asked what do we tell our friends on our status. I said tell them whatever you want, I don't mind. And he told me he will tell them that we are in a relationship and I said really? And he said yes, would you like to be my girlfriend? And I just laughed and said of course! Like I would say no to him.

Reminiscence is good especially when you forget about how sweet your partner/couple/friend/family is and all that you could see is their tempers, how mean they are to you, when sometimes they are trying to do things for your own good. I have misjudged him, pour my hatred like lava, forget bout his love and his beautiful face that i love so much. I let my insecurity, my fear took over my heart, makes me spit venom to him and say some evil things that I could never ever take it back. I'm sorry honey. I forgot. I could give you thousand reasons, and yet, not one could make things right. I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you are, how you always put me first on everything even though you wanted it so bad, you always give up for me. I could never thank you enough, I am so bloody sorry I hurt you so bad, I would not promise you anything as I'm scared I will break them.

But babe, I'll try my best to be on my best behavior. I know I am sometime (most of the time maybe) impossible, and so babe, I'll try and remember your goodness and not blinded by rage and jealousy only. We'll start over again, and we'll start all over again each time we mess up babe. Thank you, for making me who I am today. And I hope, everything on Saturday will be alright.
