Inilah Dr Noraini Abdullah, seorang kawan saya yang amat prihatin terhadap perkembangan politik dan isu semasa di Malaysia, beliau merupakan bekas pensyarah sains politik di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, dan sekarang adalah seorang pemaju yang cuba membangunkan sebuah hotel di Pulau Pinang.
This is Dr Noraini Abdullah, my friend who used to be a lecturer in political science at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. She is a person with views in politics and many current issues. She now a developer in Penang.
Apabila malam tiba, saya bergegas untuk menghadiri jamuan perkahwinan Bella Tan, anak perempuan tuan rumah kepada premis Pusat Khidmat Rakyat Kinrara saya di Thean Hou Temple. Beliau telah menjemput saya ke jamuan tersebut sejak lebih setengah tahun dahulu. Saya terlewat menghadiri jamuan tersebut kerana jadual saya terlampau penuh sepanjang hari dan saya hampir terlupa tentang jamuan tersebut. Namun begitu, saya rasa terharu apabila keluarganya masih jemput saya untuk berucapa di pentas.
In the evening, I rushed to attend the wedding banquet of the daughter of the landlord of my Kinrara Service Center which was held at Thean Hou temple. They had invited me to this banquet since over half a year ago. Due to the busy schedule I had all day, I attended the banquet late. In fact, I almost forgot about the dinner function until my driver reminded me about it. Nevertheless I was very touched that the family gave me a warm welcome and even invited me to give a speech.
Kepada Bella Tan dan suaminya, saya mengucapkan semoga bahagia hingga ke akhir hayat.
To Bella and the lucky man, I wish you both much happiness for all the days of your lives.
