My Wife

My wife, Fanny is a very caring lady. Her hometown is in Perak, West Malaysia. She is now a permanent resident of Singapore. She is the mother of a two year old girl, who is under the care of a child care centre.

 

Here, in Singapore, she owns a hair salon located in the central area. Business is pretty good and especially even better during the weekends. She has two workers and she will always patiently guide her workers in the cutting, blowing and styling of her customers’ hair.

 

As we are staying in Singapore due to our work commitments, she misses her parents very much. Though she is very busy with her business, she will try ways and means to bring our daughter to Perak to visit both her paternal and maternal grandmothers at least twice a year.  On certain days when she is not working, she will bring her daughter to children’s theme parks or shopping malls and will buy her toys. My daughter is only two years old and my wife is already planning where to send her for her pre-education. She also plans to send her for ballet class and piano lessons when she is three years old.

 

My wife is a very social and friendly woman. She has a group of friends who are from her hometown and she will occasionally organise a gathering with them in our house. She will cook her favourite Hakka dish, “abacus beads” which are made of yam and tapioca flour and shaped into abacus beads. Then after boiling them she will fry them with dried prawns, dried cuttlefish, minced pork, bean curd strips and mushrooms.  This is my favourite dish and I always yearn for it but she seldom cooks them as they require a long time to prepare and cook.  All her friends also like this dish and they are so happy when they know that she is preparing this dish as this is their hometown food.

 

I feel very blessed and happy to have married her as she is so humble, polite and caring.
