the legendary – right way of writing I LOVE U as told to Su by fairy god mother

Not so long ago, at the pangkor laut village was a pair of lovers. They have come together after many obstacles as they never gave up on each other.
She’s a simple girl by the name of Su. He’s a guy who’s always there for her.

As they were strolling by the sea side, the guy was busy admiring nature and capturing photos. The girl received this ‘blessing’ from fairy god mother. She started picking up fallen flowers and naturally arranged them in the shape of a heart.

‘This is your heart, my dear. Fill it up with love for everyone. It’s love that makes the world beautiful’ – those were the words of fairy god mother.

She stared at the heart shape and caught a glimpse of the guy.
Besides her family and friends, he is the first person who taught her so much about love. He taught her love is about accepting the person you love as a whole.

Seeing that this pair of lovers has gone through so much together, fairy god mother decided to give them a ‘helping hand’. Fairy god mother make a fresh green leave fall on the left side of the heart and gathered some golden dried leaves on the right side of the heart.
















The girl gently led the guy to where her heart is. ‘This is what I’ve always wanted to let you know’ she said shyly.

























The guy took a stick and wrote this on the sand. She is touched. Very touched as she knew her love for her was genuine and also his for her. They walked hand in hand enjoying the companion of each other while listening to the sound of nature.

As they leave, a young pair of siblings came – a sister and younger brother maybe in lower primary school.

“Jie, see here see here.
Write wrong already. I LOVE U don’t have S one.
Should be I LOVE U ma, not I LOVE SU”

The girl overheard what the little boy said and started laughing to herself. Such is the innocence of a child, she thought.
She went to share what she heard with the guy and they both started laughing. The guy just knew this girl is going to post this to her blog.
Fairy god mother who heard the boy too, began smiling to herself. It’s indeed love that makes the world wonderful.

The same night, as the pair of lovers was strolling at the sea side, the girl quietly went to check whether her heart and the writings on the sand are still there.

It was still there… fairy god mother must have spread her love around again. The girl wonder whether the beautiful arrangements have also made other couples closer and renew the love of everyone who saw it.









Meanwhile, someone has decided to strike the S in front of U.
That person whoever he / she is decided that the right way of writing I love you is ‘I LOVE U’ not ‘I LOVE SU’








From then on, people start to write 'I LOVE YOU' as 'I LOVE U'
many may not know how this way of writing originated, but this was the story behind it.
Fairy god mother has since copyrighted this story to be told on every 20th April ... the 'I LOVE U' day.
