Has It Really Been 25 Years Already?

My parents have been married for 25 years. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. That's more time than the sum of my years, man! (Duh. No dinner-before-breakfast nonsense, thankyouverymuch.)


And... this is why it didn't take me long to decide that no matter how busy I was or how little time I had (or even how emo I was), I just had to design a new header to specially commemorate their silver anniversary.


That's them on the left in the silver frame. =)


Those two people you see make the only couple I know who have never had a single fight in their time together. Disagreements, yes. But that's as far as it goes. (I haven't even seen these disagreements myself, to tell you the truth. I'm only assuming that since they're two separate individuals, the are bound to be times when things aren't always smooth sailing.) No raised voices, no pouting, no cussing or swearing. No I-don't-want-to-friend-you-anymore, no cold wars, no jelingan mauts.


Pretty cool for a 25-year-old marriage, huh?
(27 years if you include the whole dating process.)


Growing up in my home was an amazing experience. (One I wouldn't think twice about stepping back into, actually.) It was happy, very peaceful (I've always heard my friends speak of how terrible it can be when parents argue) and loving. I have truly been blessed to have had them as my personal mentors in love and life (amongst other things, of course).


So, before I tear and all that...
it's out with this one *points below*
for the time being, alrights?




Why emo when you can celebrate? =)

Thanks for the banner,'bee! I love it and appreciate the time and effort you've put into it, especially with all the demands of your work, the pain-the-ear and the super big bout of emo-ing to rival even Grey Seattle.

How do I snap, grab and preserve this post?

ATTN: Ming and Jeffro
Thanks for your good wishes and may you all live as long as you want and love as long as you live.

It's ditto to all the rest who send their greetings later on.

Marriage is a long-term enterprise. It encompasses:-

Seeking out a suitable partner
Understanding that 'me' is over
Consistency in behavior
Communication
Empathy and respect
Sacrifice... and then
Success.

It is a difficult process. Mr. and Mrs. Song, congratulations on what is a herculean but under-rated achievement.

My own parents have been together close to 30 years. Congratulations to them too.


Will I ever have this? Haih... I dunno...

Jeffro said...

Yupz! Uncle + Auntie shall party in their own way.. ^_^

Mrs Chong said...

lol..my parents are the total opposite of yours.

Unknown said...

Awww Happy Anniversary to Uncle and Auntie.

Lit some fireworks by the nite sky, that'd be nice.

Nice harmonious family setting, that's hard to come by when kids nowadays are so out of touch with da parents. And for that *cough* dumb *cough*, i mean filial daughter to make up such a sweet banner, that's like icing on de cake.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: sheon
– Haha. That's true. =)


ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Yeah. This is why I always have an idealised mental image of how a perfect relationship should be like. Sigh.


ATTN: Andrew Chua
– That's true. Very true, in fact. Too bad too many of us keep wanting to skip steps in that process. =(

Sometimes I wonder if love will ever be this perfect for me, too. You're not alone. For those of us who've seen love in its most pure and beautiful form, we'll always seek the same perfection in our own relationships.

And congrats to your folks, too! Whoopie!


ATTN: Jeffro
– Haha. Dinner. Salmon and chicken with RICE. That's their party. =p


ATTN: Ping Ping
– Haha. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Haha.


ATTN: Chris
– HEY! *stab stab stab*

Jeffro said...

WAH!! I want salmon also! Got any more?

Charlie said...

ATTN: Charlie

ATTN: Adrian Lim
– It's hard to believe and have faith in others sometimes. (God aside, of course.) That being said, I want to believe.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Jeffro
– Heh heh. Here's where you're wrong, little boy. You see, in HK, they say, "Gei dor cheen." Here in MY, they say, "Gei dor lui." It's different.

Jeffro said...

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Jeffro
