Unparalelled

For a couple of months or so now, I've procrastinated in putting this entry up. Before their wedding, and before she came over to Malaysia to be with him, I used to send Takeshi to the Central Market bus stop or to Bangsar LRT station after church on Sundays; so that he could take his bus back to Seremban, where he studies at STM.

Today, I had the privilege of sending them both again after lunch. One thing that I've noticed about both of them from the start, is just how polite they are. Talk about discipline and manners; they are at it's ideal. I've never seen anyone bow as much as Takeshi! He must bow at least 5 times just saying hello to a person =)

Oh, back to sending them off.. I notice their gratitude whenever I send them to the station. I felt awkward a couple of times, because the way they thank a person, makes you feel unworthy of such gratitude! I get goose bumps just having my heart warmed by the fact that they actually stand waving at the sidewalk, from the time you drop them, all the way till you are out of sight! It gives me a very warm feeling everytime I drive away, looking at my rear view mirror and waving back at them. You can rest assured they'd be standing there waving goodbye. They wouldn't just walk away right after being dropped off. How often do you see that with close friends even sometimes?

It's probably not a big deal to many, but it's a nice thing to experience and to see. Here's to a sweet, polite, soft-spoken yet fun-loving couple, Takeshi and his Korean wife Vicky! Oh btw, she's Korean and he's Japanese and yet they have made their loving marriage a reality, definately a testament of their personalities to have made it work, against odds.
