108-year-old wife tells secret to keep 38 year old hubby faithful to her

Wook Kundor is a 108 year old woman living in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.

She is happily married to her husband, Mohd Noor Che Musa who is 70 years younger than her.

Infact, Mohd Noor is her 23rd husband..!!!!

Wook was married 22 times before but all her 22 husbands had already passed away.

So what makes a 38 year old man, faithful to her 108 year old wife??

Yesterday on sunday 1st August 2010, Wook Kundor told the local Malaysian media that it is her “killer massage” that she learned from her ancestors that keep her husband happily married to her.

The traditional massage is what is keeping her husband, glued to her side.

“I will massage him when he starts to talk about younger women. This will dissuade him from thinking about them,” she said when met at her house in Kampung Bukit Tok Bat in Kuala Berang.

Asked the technique of the massage, Wook refused to share her secret, but said the focal point of the massage was to concentrate on rubbing the sensitive parts of the body.

She said it was the same massage that she used to keep all her previous 22 husbands remain true to her until their death.

Wook also revealed that one of the golden rules in the traditional massage was to first effleurage (stroking movement in massage) the masseur before doing the same on the partner.

“It will usually take about an hour to complete the massage that will totally relax your partner. This will create a closer bond between husband and wife,” she said.

Apart from giving her husband regular massage, Wook also keeps him happy by cooking him delicious food.

She also avoids nagging her husband as she believes hen-pecking could lead to cracks in a marriage.

“I hear a lot of stories from my neighbours about wives who nag at their husbands. Nagging is bad for a marriage as men generally hate it,” she said.

Wook also said that she always made it a point to keep herself clean at all times and never failed to perform her daily prayers as that also helped to strengthen a marriage.

Asked how she was coping after Mohd Noor was released from Besut drug rehabilitation centre following 18 months of treatment, Wook said they were happier except for some financial constraints.

She said many people who had promised to secure employment for Mohd Noor after he was released had reneged on their words.

“But I told my husband not to give up and to keep looking. I fear that if he is not working, he will revert to hisdrug habit,” she said.

Mohd Noor was detained for drug abuse early last year.

The union between Wook and her much younger bridegroom five years ago grabbed worldwide media attention.

Well may you live happily ever after Wook Kundor and Mohd Noor..!!!

The oldest Ph.D, Master's degree & Bachelor degree recipients in the world

Phyllis Turner

In July, 2007, the title as the oldest Master's degree recipient was Phyllis Turner, a 94-year-old great-great-grandmother from Adelaide, Australia, before the honour goes to Nola Ochs, 98, of Kansas, USA in May 2010.

Believe it or not, before graduating, Phyllis left school at the age of 12 before realising that she needed a Master Degree, no matter what it takes!!!

University of Adelaide awarded Phyliss her master's degree in Medical Science on 30th July, 2007, at a ceremony in her hometown of Adelaide, surrounded by generations of offspring.

Turner's supervisor Professor Maciej Henneberg said he had urged Turner to continue her studies to earn a doctorate, but she had so far declined his offer of help.

"People survive to 101 but rarely with a mind so young," Henneberg said.

"Her intellect is capable of completing a Ph.D., but her health is less certain; she is reluctant," he said, adding that a doctorate would take more than three years.

Turner quit school at age 12 to help her mother look after her siblings after they were abandoned by their father.

After raising her own 7 children and 2 stepchildren, she completed her school education at nights because "I love study," she said.

At 70, she enrolled at the University of Adelaide and at 72, won a 12-month scholarship to study at the University of California.

After California, she enrolled at the Australian National University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in anthropology. She said she decided to pursue her masters degree when her husband died 5 years ago.

Turner said she felt she could achieve a Ph.D. but her family wanted her to take life easy.

"The only trouble is, I'm short of years," she said.


Nola Ochs

However on May 2010, Nola Ochs of Kansas, USA beat Phyliss Turner as the oldest Master degree graduate.

Ochs, 98 years old, graduated from Fort Hays State University with a master's degree in Liberal Studies.


Mr Edgar Dowse

Meanwhile, according to the current record, the oldest person awarded a Ph.D, is Edgar Dowse, who graduated from The London School of Theology at the age of 93 years and 268 days in June 2004.

Mr Dowse is a former vicar and his thesis was aptly titled "the soul in relationship to God"...!!!!

Mr Dowse, who already has 6 degrees in Biblical studies and theology from other British universities, took 4 years to complete his PhD, which he decided to start after a personal tragedy.

"After my wife, Ivy, died, in 1999, I felt the need for intense study," he said.

"As I'm 93, it was a slightly unusual occurrence. I'm delighted that they came to this decision."

The university professors of the London School of Theology said "Commitment, hard work and talent transcend age, but when you get examples like this you really do believe it,".

"His achievement is an encouragement to everyone to see that learning is really for life and should be valued for its own contribution to a richer life, rather than simply as a means to an end."

Reverend Dr Derek Tidball, principal of the London School of Theology, described Mr Dowse's achievement as an unsurpassed example of life-long learning. "To gain a PhD at any age is a great achievement. To gain it at the age of 93 is remarkable," he said.

Well, this means that if Ms Phyliss Turner did chose to continue with her studies up to Ph.D, she could eventually hold another record as the oldest Ph.D graduate, overtaking good old Mr Dowse!!!!

Meanwhile the oldest degree graduate is Mozelle Richardson, who won a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism aged 90 years 103 days, from the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass.


Hazel Soares

The title and the honour as the oldest college diploma recipient goes to Hazel Soares, 94 of Richmond, California who on 15 May 2010, graduated at Mills College, USA.

Born in 1915, Soares, who has 6 children and 40 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, has been married twice and worked as a nurse and event organizer before she retired and decided to return to pursue her dream of obtaining a college education.

Hmmmmmm... How about us who have no degree, no diploma, no master and no Ph.D??

We can do it if we have grit and determination. Study hard or Mama will shoot you!!!
