It is almost two weeks.
As the hours and then the days ebbed, hope wanes.
No news is good news?
Maybe it is destiny.
Or Astrological stars not in alignment?

The Marriage - Episode 3
It was an anxiety filled weekend for Ah Pek. Weighing heavily on his mind is the meeting with Ah Kung. Ah Pek went through in his mind the critical comments that Ah Kung had made and now these ring loud....something which was not immediately discernible then.
Underscoring all the comments is the issue of age.. a strong preference for youth. Ah Kung's hint was that a younger man has more vitality and drive and will be able to stay and be loyal to Ah Girl longer.
The suspense is causing Ah Pek to be very listless.
So when will Ah Pek be informed?

The Marriage - Episode 2
Now that Ah Kung had met with all the suitors for Ah Girl, he has called his family for a meeting to review, discuss and select the prospective son-in-law.
Ta Chay, Ta Ker, Ta Sao, Er Ker, Er Sao and Ah Ma will have to add their opinions after Ah Kung has described to them on the various prospects. Ah Kung's principal concern is the dowry amount that has to be given to the selected suitor. So far what Ah Kung has indicated seems to be acceptable to all the suitors as they feel that given the global financial crisis they are not going to ask for more. Of course if the family and Ah Kung is doing well then the suitor expects a big ang pow during the Chinese New year to which Ah Kung is not averse.
So who will be picked??? A young man seems the likely outcome but will Ah Pek have a chance??

The Marriage - Episode 1
It was a very harrowing experience for Ah Pek when he went to meet Ah Kung. The occassion?
To ask for the hand of Ah Girl, Ah Kung's youngest daughter, in marriage.
A good friend has whispered in Ah Pek's ears that Ah Kung is looking for a suitable suitor for Ah Girl who wants to start a family soon. Ah Pek has been adrift for more than a year and yearn to get back into a meaningful family life and also to bring his children back after Ah Pek's family broke up due to the global financial crisis.
Ah Kung was a merciless interrogator and gave Ah Pek a very thorough examination in all expects of life and Ah Pek's experience in life. It was a full one and a half hours of relentless questioning...worst than facing the CID!
At the end, Ah Pek's brain felt bleached and physically drained.
Ah Kung told Ah Pek to go home and wait for a reply as Ah Kung will be meeting more suitors who are according to Ah Kung much younger.
What is Ah Pek's chance in the face of strong competition from the younger suitors???
Wait for the next episode lah!
