penny for your thoughts


a little something to ponder upon...



an elderly couple was walking along the road. the old lady was guiding the old man even though it was obvious to see that the old lady was older than the old man. it appeared that the old man suffers from alzheimers whereas the old lady was a picture of perfect health. but they look extremely happy and contented together.

but they were not a couple. the old man was not the old lady's husband. they were not married.

when the old lady met the old man, the old man was a divorcee with children of his own. they fell in love but the old man would not marry the old lady for fear that his young children would be unhappy and would not be able to accept her as their mother. he told the old lady that he'll tell his children when they have grown up. and the old lady waited despite her being older than him.

the children have all grown up but still they did not marry. the old man said he wanted to see his children all settled down before he would marry the old lady. and so the old lady waited again. she was past her prime. with no way of her ever having children of her own.

all his children got married and had children of their own but still the old man and old lady did not wed. becos at the age of 60, the old man lost his memories and no longer recognises the old lady.




moral of the story?

That old man just acting only lar. By doing that, he actually has someone to do stuff for him, and in the old lady's presence, can go kangtao young chicks. :D

That aside, wanna say THANKS x10000 for all the help and support you've given over the past couple of days in adjusting to life here.

*KISS*

Oh, I finally hauled my ass up to the hall and connect manually via LAN cable. :D
