Manyak ong wor...

I fell asleep early tonight. Got my brain working on overdrive during the auditor's exam, I guess.

I saw a face in my dream. An old Chinese uncle I met more than 10 years ago. I was waiting for a bus ride home from school when this uncle approached me and said something like this:

"Amoi, lu punya laki manyak ong la, tapi dia misti manyak bilani."

Which, translated, I think it means "Miss, your (future) husband is a very lucky guy, but he must be very brave".
I didn't get to ask him to explain then, for he just walked off. And I was 'blur-blur'.

Never gave it any thought, and I completely forgotten about it until recently. Even so, I highlighted it to a friend and thought about it for a couple of days. But I could never recall that uncle's face, until just now.

Point is, why do I remember this now, after so many years? And what did he mean?

Anyone care for an idea?
