Shhhhh.....my eldest sister is getting married......

What a start to Monday.  I received a call from Kak Yang (3rd in the family) to inform me that my eldest sister, who will be turning 61 in June, is getting married to someone of her choice, this Saturday.  Apparently she is marrying this guy who used to be a teacher in TKC and later headmaster of a well-known day school here in Seremban, KGV.

I just got off the phone with both Kak Cik and Kak Yang and we were wondering, why on earth does she want to marry this 78 year old guy?  By the way, my mother is turning 78 this year!  To make matters interesting, his daughter is MrM's office colleague at Exxon.  And they all came to my house about two months ago, this guy Haji Ahmad, two daughters and my sister, to look for a house around my area to rent.

I did wonder why Kak Mong seemed beaming and happy looking that time she brought them here.  Now I know.  Obviously I didn't suspect anything then, since I never thought that my sister would re-marry after the death of Abg Kutar (Mokhtar) in 1998, a few weeks after he turned 50.  Apparently looking for the house to rent is not for his daughter, but for them to stay.

Well, they have been adults a long time and let's hope and pray that this is right, to me, right decision for my sister.  This is one helluva curve ball you threw us, Kak Mong!
