tying the knot

i have had a good weekend.

met up with the nus people whom i went cambodia with. it felt sooo good reminiscing about the times we spent in cambodia - staying in tents and bathing under the stars, eating happy pizza and all the girls getting freaked out when liangguo seemed a little zonked out, how freaky the rooms we were staying at were and the scratching sound qiming heard in the middle of the night, me, debbie and fengyi lying on the deck chairs at this very cosy and quiet pub by the beach, looking up into the night sky and just talking...

ummm....

at the blink of an eye, 3 yrs have passed.

everyone is working now. we have teachers, architects, doctors, pharmacists...

the most shocking news was: qiming and fengyi are getting married (not to each other)!!

the last time i met them, both were still unattached.

now, when you put the two of them together, all they talk about is where to do their wedding shots, get wedding gowns, make diamond rings and wedding bands, what kind of taps and tiles to get for their bathroom floors, loans to take to repay apartments they've purchased...

shucks, i felt young.

it must be a sign. everyone around me is getting married. alan got married last sat. jas lau in aug. sean in oct. fengyi in nov.

but no no, it's not time yet. yes, married/to-be-married people will tell me: there's never a best time. there will always be something that will hold you back, be it career wise, financially, mentally unprepared...

but i guess when it's meant to happen, it'll just happen, and you wont have to think.

goodness, fengyi only met her fiance less than 2 yrs ago, and they're getting married now. some will say it's too soon, but when you hear her talk about him, and the things he has done for her, you know she has chosen right. and i'm happy for her. Envious in fact. they make you believe that: love really can be so simple...

unfortunately my concept of love has never been simple, disillusioned by the numerous relationships i have been in and out. it was one of those times i wish i could erase my past, and start off on a blank sheet.

but it's ok. i'm not so bad now.
