RESEARCH
REFLECTION PAPER
This story is based from a
Chinese wedding culture where couples would search and married in a certain
date. Some of the couples even said to be waiting for the perfect day that they
would declare their love to each other and be forever bound. It is believed
that the date would give them happiness and fortune, or it could simply mean it
is the day to get the perfect wedding.
But to me to marriage is not
about the perfect date or wedding, it’s about how you would love people
entirely and not to just wait to say “I love you”. Because you should cherish
your love everyday while it’s still there.

TREATMENT / STORYLINE
In a forest city where wild
animal live, there are two of the odd couple who madly in love with each other;
they are Bai and Ta. You could say that they are an odd couple, because doesn’t
exactly match each other. Bai is a lovely skunk who a bit of short tempered
lady, and on the other hand Ta is an English Angora that never spoke a word; no
one ever see his face to, because his hair is so long its cover his whole body.
But despite their differences, they live harmonically happy and planned to get
married exactly tomorrow at 12p.m. You could tell how it is very important to Bai;
after all… girls always want to have their dream wedding don’t they. Not to
mention this couple has waited 4 years just get married one particular special
date; the date that describe as the day of eternal love. Though no one could see
or hear a thing, Ta also quite excited behind his fuzzy hair. Sometimes you
could hear a faint squeak came from him.
“Tomorrow is the day Ta, we
could finally get married!!!” shouts Bai from her living room marking the
calendar.
“Now, I should get my dress
and prepare the cake order”. And off she goes with Ta’s car, leaving the lovely
ball of hair lying on the bed for the evening.
Today is the day when the
whole family will gather celebrating the couple, but who would know what would
happened with a family of Stripped Skunk and English Angora would be when they
gathered in a same room. Well I give you a clue, disaster; that’s what it is.
Bai and Ta’s families would never brace each other, and they always argue with
the each other about them getting married. Or which of the family are the
worst. But nothing could separate the couple apart. Bai would tell to the
families that they are happy as they are.
The Lucky day:
With all the dress and cake
all prepare Bai is happy, and so does Ta. His tail would wag non-stop just to
see the wedding cake displayed in front of him.
“We are going to have our
perfect wedding no matter what, now I will get in shower”
The beautiful wedding dress
is on the chair and the cake is stood up so deliciously high on the table. Just
as high as Ta’s covered eyes could see from his hair, he drooled. He tried to just
taste a bit of the cake.” Just a little bit …” he thought, reaching the cake.
And then…
*CRASH*
The cake fell. And what a
mess it makes in the kitchen. In the end Bai comes and have a surprise looks in
her face. Now she got no cake for her wedding, a dress covered in chocolate and
a broken arm groom; Ta is rushed to the hospital. Four years have passed for
them to get married and they won’t miss this day. An hour later Ta came back
from the hospital; and there they are, the odd couple; standing in front the
altar with a dirty dress and a wounded groom. You couldn’t tell what the worse that could
happened, but it is get worsen. Just a moment before they got married, the
bishop fell from his first step from the altar. The wedding is off and Bai
cries.
One day later, Ta came to
Bai and married her just like that. No big celebration, no big cake, and no
beautiful wedding dress. Just a simple golden ring and a smile on her face, on
his to… just you couldn’t see it. And they happily married ever after.
