I found photographs of my folks before they were my folks. I saw Stanley and Au Yong. He, in a smart, trim suit and black-rimmed glasses, grinning our signature Tai gummy grin. She, in an elegant updo and classy white shift. My mom was holding a glass of brandy, while my dad poured for his guests. They were in the middle of doing their table to table toasts, a popular Chinese wedding custom.
I don't know who the wedding photographer was (the watermark points to a Kamy Studio in Ipoh) but his photographs made my parents exciting to me. Three-dimensional, young people who knew how to have fun. Not the grumpy, sleep-deprived folks that inhabited my childhood. These photos made my mom elegant and happy, and my dad handsome and perhaps, even a little caddish.
It was thrilling. When things got rough, or when boredom got the best of me, I'd pull these albums out and often remove the prints from their pockets so I could examine them feverishly, as though looking for proof that my parents had once been truly, madly, deeply, in love.
