Q:Where did you meet for the first time?
What was the first impression of each other?
As a part-timer, he joined the restaurant where I worked
in the summer of 2001. Then he was not so good at Japanese,
he sometimes made incoherent responses.
While going out to karaoke with our colleagues,
we gradually become friendly.
My Japanese continued improving thank to Narumi.
He knows even what the Japanese don’t know well.

When I reached 30 years of age, I dared to propose to her.
Shall we marry, Na-chan?

“Will you marry me, please?”
Q: How was your parents’ reaction for that?
My mother in Malaysia was so glad.
Actually she will come to Japan to see us soon.

The Chinese have a strong sense of fellowship.
