Blissful marriage to my buddy, Boon wee!




Time was really a rarity for me since I'm back from Lucerne. Always so busy with work ... and the past 3 days just got more crazy! Thurs I work till wee hours in the morning, sleeping only about 4hrs. And come yesterday(Saturday, 28 April) ... not only was it my Mum's 56th birthday(which I celebrated in advance on Friday), it was probably also the biggest day for my bro, my buddy BOON WEE.

The day was crazy, started for me at 4.45am in the morning ... shaking off the effects of my flu(again!?) and the medicine I took, I reach Four season hotel at 6am ... to cover Sue Ann's make up session! My other bro, Ken had an easiler life, covering Boon Wee in Jurong ... knn only report for duty at 7.30am! NB!! haha!

And so it went on ... from Four season hotel to "THE church"(dunno how to spell lah, theresa or what, near mount faber that one lah!) to jurong, then dinner at Four Season ... gosh ... it was really a very long day for everyone!(nb, especially me hor ... knn 4.45am!!! haha)

Ultimately, we were all glad it was really a wonderful day which went on smoothly and beautifully! Both the families were so happy! And the charmed life Boon Wee didn't even kena knock out by alchohol! I also managed to catch up with some friends whom I've not met for quite a long time already ... but too bad it was only bit and pieces as I had duty to perform and can only be back at the table for only a while. Next time friends! :)

Finally, would like to wish Boon Wee and Sue Ann all the best in life, made more perfect by this wonderful union! Enjoy your marriage life bro!

** it really feels great to report so many happy union in my blog, just last year was my other 2 bros. Life's beautiful right! Oh ya, and I was just reminded I'm also a catholic ... so ... Thank God! :)

The most fortunate person in the world ... a contented person ...



I remember I read this somewhere ... by someone ... I can't recall who or where, but it strikes me hard. It's simple but not easy.
Less than 2 weeks ago, I was freezing in lucerne, snow everywhere ... beautiful, yes of course, especially when they float down gracefully from the sky. It was really a peaceful sight ... that is from the view of my window in my warm hotel room. But walk outside and it is really so cold and wet; causing so much inconveniences and a couple of traffic accidents.
Back in our small southern paradise island, I thought I will appreciate the warm ... but only for less than an hour. Perspiration made me swear and curse; so warm, so humid. Then come the roar of the thunder, the flash of the lightning ... and the torrentous rain. I grumble again ... so wet, so inconvenient, so much traffic jam.
Then I realised, I'm just human ... someone still learning and yet to awaken. Always grumbling ... but why didn't I appreciate the cool of the cold, the warm of the hot and the provision of water, the one source of life. So then I know ... it's not just the weather, it's actually my life ... if only one can learn to be contented ...
** aftermath- aiya, easiler said than done. So much pressure from social, peer, family, relative etc etc etc .... no wonder they say God is known as god because he can do what a lot of normal people cannot do ... haha! :)
