Today is my 20th wedding anniversary and I text him (ya, I am very in, and also very out of human touch) an anniversary message. At the end of the message, I wrote cheekily ‘SO WHERE IS MY GIFT AH?
Two seconds, he called me and asked me ‘Yes, what do you want?’ Typical Chinaman him, to ask the wifey what she wants…aiyaa, no surprise gift, flowers (delivered to the office maybe), pre-arranged romantic candle-light dinner for two, with a nice bottle of champagne to celebrate this special milestone. The best part, he said 'GO BUY YOUR OWN GIFT'..my dear, it's a GIFT, so you are supposingly to surprise me with the BIGGEST DIAMOND your wealth can allow you to buy!
What to do, been stuck with this unromantic guy for the last 22 years, so I should have known what to expect or not to expect should be the better choice. The last time he brought me flowers was in Cameron Highlands more than a decade ago. And the reason he bought it was because it was cheap. See, he has to even tell me the truth, in this case, was not actually the best policy,
For whatever that he will or will not, we will walk together till the end of our road.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
The Bible1 Corinthians 13. 4-8
