Deki - What is a Marriage?
and heart to heart.
So... what is a marriage?
all of life's experiences.
We believe, the link of our Karma has caused us to meet in this life as husband and wife despite our differences. And for that reason, we both knew besides the colourful rainbows, the songs, the warm sunshine, and the chirping birds, there would be difficult times ahead we might have to face.
Rough roads we would walk on, the heat and strong storms we would sometimes be attacked.
So these two unique people would have to bring out the best in each other: Listening to each other, compromising and respecting each other
We will learn from each other and grow from our differences
More than just being at each other's side,
I believe, a marriage is
to treat each other with kindness and respect,
to be patient when things don't go right.
And when we can't prevent
disappointments, frustrations, or grief,
a marriage would offer
hope, acceptance, and comfort.
Our marriage means we would learn from mistakes, accept faults, and would willingly adjust behaviours which need to be changed. We would give a lot and overlook even more ...
May I always need a partner in you, and you in me, to walk through this life together--- someone to lean on at times, and be leaned on, too.

China - Huang Shan
Ada 4 keajaiban alam di gunung yang amat termasyur ini:
Ciri khas lainnya adalah cabang-cabang pohon cemara ini tumbuh pada satu sisi batang saja. Dikarenakan lahan tumbuh yang kurang baik (lebih banyak batu) dan keadaan iklim yang tidak mendukung, maka pertumbuhan cemara-cemara ini amat lambat.
Satu pohon setinggi kurang dari 3 meter kemungkinan besar memerlukan waktu lebih dari 100 tahun untuk tumbuh, bahkan mungkin beratus-ratus tahun. Karena itulah akarnya bisa mencapai puluhan kali lebih panjang daripada cabang-cabangnya. Pohon-pohon cemara di Huangshan sangat kokoh berdiri walaupun diterpa angin dan hujan.
Memang benar semua gunung tinggi dapat menampilkan pemandangan lautan awan seperti ini tetapi yang ditampilkan oleh Gunung Huangshan sangatlah unik karena adanya bebatuan yang berbentuk aneh serta pohon-pohon cemara yang sudah berusia ratusan, mungkin ribuan tahun. Puncak-puncak gunung, besar dan kecil, tersembunyi and kemudian muncul kembali di tengah-tengan lautan awan. Sayang sekali saya dan keluarga datang pada bulan Oktober, saat baru memasuki musim awal musim gugur, jadi belum dapat menikmati pesona Lautan Awan ini.
Yang mengagumkan juga, banyak bagian jalan menuju Huangshan yang melalui terowongan panjang, menembus kaki gunung. (Bikinnya gimana ya, saya juga heran!) Permukaan jalan kelihatan kokoh kuat, dan.. bersih.
