PART 1; WEDDING OF OOI THIEN CHIEH TO MEI AT CIAO

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
THE WEDDING OF OOI THIEN CHIEH AND CHIAR MEI, BOTH IN THEIR 30S, AT CIAO RESTAURANT IN KUALA LUMPUR ON 29 DECEMBER 2012 WAS ONE OF THE MOST PLEASANT AND LOVELIEST.

Dishy Ooi Thien Chieh and Mei the beautiful 
bride

Ooi Thien Chieh, Kee Hua Chee and the Most Beautiful of Them All---Koon. Koon is a living angel who helped her sister-in-law raise Thien Chieh and his brothers Thien Eu and Thien Te when their father (Koon's brother) passed away. The 3 brothers owe their very existence to Koon and love her dearly as do all of us!
Beautiful bride Mei, gorgeous guest Kee Hua Chee and handsome groom Ooi Thien Chieh. Note Kee's 2 red feathers that dropped from his feathered shirt! He was moulting!

Mei and Kee Hua Chee who wore red as her wedding was an auspicious event!



I don't the groom well and have never met the bride Mei at all but am a great friend of Koon, their aunt. Koon founded Roots, Shoots & Froots and her company has certainly borne fruits as nephew Ooi Thien Chieh now runs Roots Asia in Singapore. 

Mei is a Malaysian but works as stewardess with Singapore Airlines and making good old Sing dollars instead of ringgit with MAS.

Of course all my millions of readers need to know how they met to the moment they are now having sex officially for the first time since they are now husband and wife.

This is Mei's version; "We were introduced at a friend's wedding some 5 years ago. Well, love slowly blossomed and we are now married. Our friend at whose wedding we met could not attend our wedding as he is in Hong Kong."

Sounds rather run-of-mill ain't it?

This is Kee Hua Chee's version; Mei met her future husband Ooi Thien Chieh while serving him (as women are meant to do) onboard Singapore Airlines on one of his many business trips from the Lion City to KL.

Mei accidentally poured hot coffee on Thien Chieh's groin, almost scalding his lan chiau. Of course the poor man screamed his tonsils off. Mei apologised profusely and offered to do anything as long as Thien Chieh promised not to complain to Singapore Airlines as she might lose her job. Thien Chieh demanded she pay for the laundry and hand deliver his coffee-stained pants to him in his home.

Luckily he had a spare pair of pants in his carryon bag so he went to the loo, changed and gave the stained pants to Mei. Mei duly washed and went to Thien Chieh's house to deliver the clean and fragranced trousers.

Thien Chieh then insisted on having sex with Mei as the last condition or else he would complain to SIA and Mei would lose her job and her poverty stricken parents and family depending on her earnings would starve to death in Penang or wherever she came from. His pathetic excuse was to prove if his lan chiau was still in working order after being scalded.

So Mei sacrificed her virginity to Thien Chieh who then dumped her. 

However, Mei phoned Thien Chieh later and declared she was pregnant with his child. Thien Chieh quickly consulted Kee Hua Chee who concluded the abandoned Mei would probably commit suicide and Thien Chieh would have blood on his hands and how would he explain that to Buddha in the thereafter?

Kee Hua Chee then gave RM 1 million to Ooi Thien Chieh and demanded he should do the honorable thing and marry Mei.

After signing at the marriage registry as husband and wife, Mei's period came back the very next day. Mei was not pregnant after all and it was a false alarm! 

Fancy that!

Since Kee Hua Chee had already given the RM 1 million to Thien Chieh in cash, the couple decided they might as well marry since their future is secured.

Both carried on with their careers for the next five years before deciding it was now the best time to tie the knot officially on 29.12.12. They held off the wedding till after 21.12.12 just in case the world ended and it would have been such a waste.

Since 21.12.12 came and went without a squeak or volcanic explosion, they decided it was now time to hold a lavish wedding at Ciao for 300 relatives, friends and business associates.

So you choose which version you prefer---Mei or  Kee Hua Chee's!

MIRACLE JAPANESE HEALTH PILLS FROM UMEKEN ARE ENDORSED BY THE JAPANESE IMPERIAL FAMILY!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
I ALMOST FAINTED WHEN I SAW UMEKEN'S ADVERTISING PITCH. 

Instead of flaunting some simpering pretty boys or vacuous blonde Japanese girls in ponytails, Umeken shows photos of the entire Japanese Imperial Family!

No individual, let alone a huge company like Umeken (it means Plum Study in Japanese!) would dare dream of using images of their revered Imperial Family to hawk their products unless explicit, written permission has been given. An honour no amount of money can buy. 

For the Japanese Imperial Family to consent to their family portraits being used to promote commercial products, the goods in question must have passed their personal stringent tests. Not just the approval of the current family members but of the past 2 generations!

In Malaysia, no company is allowed to feature the images of the Agong, Sultan, Yamtuan or Raja ie Malay Rulers. 

So it is a huge accolade for Umeken to succeed in being granted the singular honour of linking their health products to the Japanese Imperial Family.

In Malaysia, Umeken's range of health products and supplements are distributed by Sheju Sdn Bhd controlled by Dato Eddie Teo or Watchshoppe fame.

Background of Sheju

Sheju (M) Sdn Bhd was founded by its Chairman Dato’ Eddie Teo. He accidentally came across it i when he visited one of his good friends in Singapore. When he was there, his friend’s wife accidentally pricked her fingers while gardening in the evening. She thought nothing much of it and applied some household lotion and soothing balm. Instead of subsiding, within hours her whole arm swelled while rashes formed, causing them to itch uncontrollably. She started to scratch and thus aggravated the pain even more. A classic case of being caught between the devil and deep blue sea!

The couple were horrified and rushed to the family doctor for immediate treatment. The doctor introduced her “Biogenics.” He had just returned from Japan from a medical seminar and was thoroughly impressed with this product which appears to be a relatively well kept secret among the elite.

The Singapore doctor assured the victim. "This is very effective and may even appear miraculous.  I will charge you more this time but I guarantee the rashes will start diminishing by the end of today. You just need to consume 5 pills every 6 hours. I stand by my word  or else I will return your money!" 

The husband and wife were bemused at their doctor's enthusiasm and also noted he seemed to be enjoying a new lease of life as he was more energetic and lively than before.  The husband and wife  paid S$ 500 (RM 1,250) for their pack of “Biogenics” which was expensive since there was no surgery involved as it was not a serious matter.

.

To their amazement, the rashes and itchiness started to subside quickly 5 hours after consuming “Biogenics.

"The rashes were gone the next morning when she got up.  The doctor’s prescription was miraculous! The effect was immediate.  Both Dato’ Eddie and the husband were surprised and went back to the doctor to purchase Biogenics for their daily consumption as health supplements.

Dato Eddie Teo, boss of the hugely successful Watchshoppe chain in Malaysia is very health conscious and so is his wife Datin Lee Nai Yee. Says Dato Teo, "Having tried an endless array of health supplements and vitamin pills and all sorts of so-called miracle cures from various companies throughout the years, I can vouch“Biogenics” to be the most effective and almost miraculous. I feel like I have been given a new lease of life!

"After taking Umeken's Biogenics for a few weeks and seeing my wife and myself becoming visibly youthful and more energetic, I flew to Japan to negotiate the distributorship of Biogenics with Umeken for Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Macau."

Initially Umeken hesitated as they could barely keep up with demand in Japan but Dato Eddie Teo is famous for his tenacity and integrity and persuaded Umeken to increase production by building a new factory and investing in farms.

                                                               

History of Umeken® Co

During the prime of the Edo period, also known as the Tokugawa period (1615 -1868) a young man in Toyama prefecture perfected the use of natural herbs and ingredients to produce “Medicine Balls” that were portable and efficacious which greatly increased the quality of life of his customers.

It was a time where the arts, health and longevity dominated the upper classes of the nobility, samurai and merchnats. The 'Medicine Balls' proved highly efficacious and were in great demand by the elite. A new marketing system of “Baiyaku-san” that emphasized personal service grew and expanded in the Toyama region as the network allowed the medicine balls to be sold throughout the country.

It was from the Edo period that the foundations of Japanese Traditional medicine were slowly perfected. The formulations and secret recipes were guarded secretly within a few families. The skills of making the “Medicine Balls” had been passed down through the centuries and a descendant of such a family, Inagaki Shouichi, opened a small pharmaceutical company called Daido in 1947.

Holding steadfast to the traditions of his forefathers in hand- pressing every Medicine Ball and using only the best ingredients, the company grew steadily. In 1978 it was incorporated as Umeken® Co. which in Japanese means “the Study of the Plum” signifying freshness and healthy benefits derived from natural, organic ingredients.
