i havent blog in more than a week!! heh heh heh, even though i have lots to say.

i shall sum it up in a few lines.

1) I m glad to know a colleague of mine Jason, whos 28 years old, at paradigm and we have been getting along real fine these days. He has been thru some tough times and i have been learning a lot of lessons in life from him.

2) My exams are in less than a week, and this is the first time i am going into an examination so unprepared, unlike my jc days, and the past 2 sems. But strangely, I am eerily unfazed....

3) My cousin got married yesterday and i am so happy for him!! :p And i got to sit at the vip table with him and his bride at the wedding dinner haha..so exciting. It was overall a great experience the whole of yesterday, from the tea ceremony right up to the dinner. After a decade without going for a wedding dinner, I finally understood more clearly why this was a day sought after by almost all the women in the world. The wonders of marriage...wow..I was truly impressed yesterdae.

Seeing my cousin's bride walk down the aisle together with him hand in hand, dressed in a beautiful gown, and looking so so beautiful, with the touching music in the background, with numerous cameras flashing, with over 400 frenz and relatives applauding with gusto, with both their respective parents looking so so happy having seen their once little kids now on their own...

My god... what a truly touching and beautiful sight.

I havent seen my uncle so happy in a long time. It must have felt really really special to see your own son or daughter getting married. Its like, you know, your job as a parent has been done.

Oh yah, and during earlier in the day, during the tea ceremony, my aunt's mum came as well! She s like, 92 years old and a funky granny i must say haha..It was touching as well for her, to see her grandson got married...during the serving of tea, she was like grabbing both the bride and her grandson's hands together, and telling them in teochew to take care of each other for the rest of their life...it was really a very sweet sight..

And yah..back to my cousin's bride walking down the aisle...I have seen her past photos, and really, she looks gorgeous and stunning yesterdae realli..I guess this is what they call the "glowing blissful beauty" of marriage..

And as she walked down the aisle, I think she teared.....

This is the day girls dream of ever since they were young..and this is the day women will remember for the rest of their lives...and one day when they are 90 years old with grandsons and looking back, they will realize that these are the moments which makes life so sweet, wonderful, and meaningful. I like to use the term "essence of life" to describe these moments...

And for the guys, bloody hell better start saving up if u intend to get married by 32 heh. Eh wedding not cheap leh. Estimated costs for a comfortable wedding is
$180, 000.

heh, what happened to my "few lines"???? I feel really happy for my cousin and i wish them all the best for the rest of their lives!
