Tok Wook and her 22 Husbands - a Malaysian Tale

Image sourced from this Star article

This sprightly 107-year-old lady is like the Hugh Hefner of women. I say Like because although she HAS had 22 husbands, i think they were all sequential, and so all legal. The article refrained from including particulars, but apparently she's thinking of getting her 23rd husband because she is lonely while her current 37-year-old hubby is checked into rehab.

It begs the questions:
- what is her secret?
- what happened to the other 21 men?
- does this centenarian still get jiggy with it?

Apparently, Tok Wook has x number of children who are already old and dependent on their own children. Gosh.
I'd be really confused if i was invited to my great grandma's wedding.

Anyway, i'm not too certain if i'm proud or unsettled that there's at least one lady with her conquest of all these men.
What say you?
Kudos to the (great?) grandma being able to woo younger men
or
It's kinda icky please just stick to 22 and be happy?

And if you could live to 107... maybe the 22 husbands makes sense after all?

It's a Beautiful World (Now We're All Here)

I heard this song on the radio and I fell absolutely in love with it. Lyrics searches were becoming fruitless and then i thought, hey, it had a nice piano bit. Let's give this Jim Brickman video a shot. And it is amazing. With the full orchestra backing and Adam Crossley's lulling voice, this is just one of those feel-good songs that makes me feel like i'm floating in a happy sea =)



Jim Brickman feat Adam Crossley : Beautiful World (We're All Here)

I'm really grateful for BFM (89.9), making that drive home in the buka puasa jam that much better because there are great songs for me to discover. Business station? Definitely not what i'd think of as my type, but the music is awesome possum so if you're sick of the commercial mainstream crap, give it a shot.

Yay to good music! It's been a while...
