Another Invite

Last year, I got an invitation for an iftar reception by the Ambassador of the United States. I didn't go because I had to work late that night as we were rushing for some submissions.

I got the same invite again this year - 1 August. I will be in Jakarta on that day to discuss some renewals.

I really would love to go... would love to see who's who at the iftar session and of course to make contact. Perhaps next time....

Who Loves You

 Love. This week's topic.

Love 1 - Ella is married. Married at the age of 46. We read all the comments that netizens wrote about her solemnization. Agree. She is lucky to have found love.

Love 2 - A seventy-something year old man fainted when he saw his future wife. She is 53 and comes from one of the northern state in Malaysia. I think we almost fainted at laughing the headlines on Berita Harian.

Love 3 - Someone in office is smitten with LOVE! And we are teenagers all over again. The squeals of laughter, the shrieks that came from us when we heard her tell us he calls her "babe", "baby" and has a gem waiting for her... we told her to bring a parachute... and make sure she lands safely in case the guy does not meet her expectation. That love story is so surreal and I felt like I was watching a movie. It feels odd to be in the discussion - all single and I am the only married one! And it feels odd to be in this discussions when we are all in our late 30s/ early 40s. I hope this is LOVE for her.... hope she found love when she turns 50! That would be the best birthday gift ever!

Love. It makes you smile, it feels good and sometimes it makes others roll their eyes!!!
