Crystal and Brian

When I was asked to write something for Crystal and Brian's marriage, many funny thoughts went through my head and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. But when I opened up my word document and wanted to start typing, I was stuck. I just didn't know where to start. Brian is my cousin, like a brother to me, and Crystal is like a sweet sister to me for many years too. If I was to write about all my encounters with them, I could write a novel!
So instead of writing generic congratulating messages, I'm going to dig deep into Brian's heart, and share with you all what he will be feeling on his wedding day...

Now let me impersonate Brian, my dear cousin:

When it comes to weddings, big or small, tiny even, it all comes down to the two of us.
Me, and the most beautiful girl in the world.
And I can't stop looking at her.
Can't take my eyes off that fabulous face.
Can't get over how wonderful she looks today, with that smile on her.
I feel like I am seeing Crystal for the very first time. Does every man feel this way? Does every man feel that his bride is the most beautiful girl in the world? Probably.
With all my heart, I want the best for her. I want this day to be perfect.
Everybody smiling, happy for us, flowers everywhere, their scent filling the air.
There's no place more sacred than this place.
And if anyone is blessed, then we are blessed.
Wedding. It's what we both wanted. Making official what we have known from very near the start - that we are building a life together.
And to tell the world - the best is yet to come. What could be more hopeful than that? What could be more right? More sacred?
We're here joining together two celebrated lives.
Crystal smiles at me as though we are the last lovers left alive. And I have absolutely no reservations about this girl. She's the one. In sorrow and in joy, from this day forward. She's the one.
I am certain about this girl. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. In sickness and in health. For richer, for poorer. Forsaking all others. I want her face to be the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning. I want to watch that face as it changes through the years. I want to know every birthmark on her body, to commit every freckle to memory. To have and to hold. Until death do us part.
'I do,' says my wife.
I draw a deeper breath.
And I do, too.
(also a reflection of how I felt as I was marrying to my wife Kathy)

Only once in a lifetime that a special dream comes true. And suddenly your entire world seems beautiful and new.
I wish the happy couple, Crystal and Brian, for a future of dreams comes true. God bless you and yours, and surround you ever with his blessing.
Best wishes always!
Andy

family value challenged once again...

It is sad and at the same time this is life. We learn our many mistakes and we have to keep on going. One thing that never change is family value. I love you all and my family is always first place in my life. I love all of you so much and that's why I had the stupid reaction last night. I care and I hope to see us all in harmony. DW, you're still the head of the family. We need to see you in good form in order for us to be in great harmony. Please don't let us worry about you again. Simple life is always a better life.

Bernice's great news!

my dearest family

today i officially heard a great news from bernice. our little baby sister (siu bie) is getting married. when i heard this straight from bernice's mouth, i had tears running down my cheeks. mixed feelings i had, not knowing who she's marrying, and whether she'll have a good life ahead, nevertheless, i felt splendid joy. joy of seeing my little sis growing up after chain of life experiences. joy of my little sis finding her true love. joy of my little sis holding on to that family value we always treasure.

overwhelmed with joy, i hadn't forget to gave my little sis a little 'lecture': "life is full of choices, and when you've chosen your path, stick with it, and be responsible to yourself, and to the ones that love you. and always remember, your family is always there to support you, no matter what, they'll be there for you, through good times, and bad times. that's family!"

now my little sis is going to have a family of her own. i know, somehow, that we're not going to lose a lovely daughter, sister, but to gain a new family member. cling on to that love, and to spread that love, and to pass that on to many generations to come.

i congratulate you, dearly. i'll always love you, my sis. feel free to let me know if you need any help ok?

love

your big bro andy

love letter - Beethoven to His Immortal Beloved

Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -
Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.
Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

- L. Beethoven

Tomorrow Never Comes

i read this poem, and i really want to share it:

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you
fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord
your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you
walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back
for just one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your
voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action, and play them
back throughout my days.
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an
extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming
you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is
all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we
never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old
alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold
your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it
today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret
the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a
hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what
turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in
their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always
hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me,"
"thank you" or "it's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no
regrets about today.
