3 anak dara.. LOL

Tersebutlah alkisah sebuah keluarga aman bahagia yang dianggotai sepasang suami isteri bersama tiga orang anak dara mereka. Nak dijadikan cerita, ketiga-tiga anak dara tersebut melangsungkan perkahwinan mereka secara serentak.......

Maka sedih bercampur gumbira menyelubungi hati dan perasaan kedua ibu bapa mereka apabila majlis perkahwinan tersebut selamat dilangsungkan....

Apabila ketiga-tiga pasangan bersiap sedia untuk pergi berbulan madu ke tempat haluan masing-masing, kedua ibu bapa mereka pun dengan tegas berpesan supaya mereka tidak lupa untuk mengirimkan berita sepanjang pemergian mereka walau dengan sepatah dua kata. Supaya tidak membebankan setiap pasangan, ibu bapa mereka mencadangkan agar mereka hanya menulis tajuk iklan yang dapat menggambarkan maksud yang ingin disampaikan. Lalu mereka semua pun bersetuju degan cadangan tersebut...........

Seminggu selepas mereka semua pergi ke arah tujuan masing-masing, si ibu menerima sepucuk surat dari anak mereka yang pertama, suratnya amat ringkas, hanya perkataan "Nescafe" yang tertera. Si ibu yang cuba menyelami maksud yang ingin disampaikan, tanpa berlengah menyemak iklan "Nescafe" di akhbar yang berbunyi "Nikmatnya tak terhingga", maka fahamlah si ibu akan maksud yang ingin disampaikan.....

Selang seminggu selepas itu, mereka menerima sepucuk surat dari anak mereka yang kedua pula, suratnya juga pendek, hanya berbunyi " Standard Chartered Bank". Apabila disiasat dengan lebih lanjut, iklan Standard Chartered Bank rupanya bermaksud " Besar, Teguh dan Peramah", maka tersenyumlah kedua orang tua tersebut....

Seperti lazimnya mereka pun tertunggu-tunggu akan berita dari anak ketiga mereka, namun minggu demi minggu tidak juga mereka menerima sebarang khabar berita. Mulanya mereka agak risau namun setelah hampir dua bulan berlalu, mereka akhirnya menerima sepucuk surat yang amat dinananti-nantikan, suratnya juga amat ringkas, hanya tertulis perkataan "MAS". Mulanya mereka agak hairan kenapalah anak mereka mangambil masa yang lama sangat untuk menulis perkataan "MAS" namun setelah membaca iklan MAS di surat khabar, mereka pun tersenyum. Di surat khabar, iklan MAS berbunyi," Tiga kali sehari, tujuh hari seminggu..."

To My FRENS Who Are ...

To My Friends Who Are........... SINGLE

Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.

To My Friends Who Are............ NOT SO SINGLE

Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person." It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

To My Friends Who Are............ PLAYBOY / GIRL

Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart. Never look in the eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works both ways.

To My Friends Who Are............ MARRIED

Love is not about "It's your fault" but "I'm sorry"... not "Where are you?" but "I'm right here"... not "How could you" but "I understand"... not "I wish you were" but "I'm thankful you are here."

To My Friends Who Are............ ENGAGED

The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.

To My Friends Who Are............ HEARTBROKEN

Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

To My Friends Who Are............ NAÏVE

How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.

To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE

It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

To My Friends Who Are............ AFRAID TO CONFESS

Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.
