The reception area was filled with laughters and joy. (while in the ballroom, a slideshow of our Bridal photoshoots was presented.)

We were the stars of the night…a once-a-lifetime experience..a moment that we will remember we are once a star…

guests were queuing up to catch a moment with the bride and to take a photo…

everybody was asking for the bride…”where is she?”

We were very excited and nervous…oh my….it was like preparing for a stage performance when thousands of onlookers looked at you…and you are the only one performing…our hands were cold and our facial muslces stiffened…but we whispered encouraging words into each other’s ears…”relax…you look great/ handsome/ very beautiful!”

adrenalin rushed through my body…happy adrenalin for happy occasion…

It was already 2pm and we made our way to the bride’s house for another session of tea-ceremony.

Likewise, tea was offered to parents and relatives with desceding seniority.

Then, after that, we had another group photo-taking session with the bride in kua and later, we made our way to the hotel for the wedding dinner…>.< by this time, we were already quite tired...>.<

I were experiencing a mixture of feelings at this point in time…sadness…anxiety…gladness…

sad that a great artist could no longer draw and share his wonderful art pieces with the world…

anxious as in unsure how my colleague will be feeling when sending off her rbother for the final time…

glad that there won’t be any more suffering for this noble person…

my colleague’s brother had some illness and three days ago, there were a relapse and he left the same night…

it reminded me of how my father passed away 12 years ago due to lung cancer and he got a brain tumor growing behind his right eye on the day he died…

as much as we wanted him to go peacefully so that he no longer need to suffer, I long for me to be with me…to see me graduate…to see me get married…to be there for me during my greatest lfie transitions…

I can’t forget…as my llife unfolds, I have to remember him …vividly in my mind….reminding myself how much I have missed him…

no one knew I teared a couple of times when I remembered my dad on our wedding day

Sudden death had constantly reminded me of the fragility of life…as much as we want to live to the full life expectancy, who can guarantee it?

All I can do right now…is to llive a full life as if it is my last day of my death…cos no one can know what will happen tomorrow. can you?

He drew well but won’t be able to from now on.

Though I had only seen him once or twice from a distance, the image of the hummingbird that he drew seemed to be so close…just as if in front of my eyes.

An amicable, creative and talented young man I must say.

And I have no idea why such great man is taken away by God from his very dear family members?

This morning when I woke up, I received a sms from my colleague that the younger brother of another colleague had passed away yesterday night.

It was a shock that things seem to happen so quickly, suddenly and without warning.

Everyday is a new day for us…for us to know and understand each other better.

Everyday is a day of saying “I love you” and planting gentle kisses on each other’s cheeks and lips.

Everyday is thanking my partner for trusting me, loving me and for treating me for I really am.

There is no need to be the ideal someone that we have always wanted to be.

There is no need to be the ideal prince or princess who we once wanted to be.

There is no need to look beyond what we already have.

I know what I have always wanted is always here beside me: Love from those who love me.

I remember a story of the family of a chick.

The chick was well-taken care of by the mother hen while the rooster went out to look for food.

When the chick grew up and could move around, the mother hen brought it out of their home.

And while the mother hen and the chick were exploring the environment, the rooster’s role is like a protector, guarding his family to the extent. .. to the extent … to the extent …

of getting himself killed if it can save his family from harm…

… … …

… … …

I want to be the rooster … >.<
