Thank You!
This post is a week and a day overdue. I’ve meant to put down some words right after the wedding dinner of a dear friend, Wei Haw. But you know, got quite caught up with the World Cup rush and hence the delay.
I remember I had quite a fair bit to relate after the wedding receiption. Somewhere, feelings fade, bit by bit. Whatever that was strongly felt has now become something probably not that worth mentioning.
There is something however I will not easily forget. Being almost the only singleton there, it was really odd sitting at the same table where many two pairs of hands were held. Somehow, my friends and their partners totally erased that uneasiness in me. I didn’t have to drive there all by myself to begin with. It was a big deal to me as driving alone in the dark on some unfamiliar roads scares the broad day light out of me. I am a nervous driver when it comes to you know, roads less traveled by me. Susan and Fu Yuen were so kind! They came to pick me up and throughout the whole journey, I hardly see myself as a lamp post. Instead, I feel like a good friend of these people, I felt like a little sister riding along with my siblings. I really did.
Not far away from the main entrance of Cyberview Lodge stood a beautiful little garden with many chairs nicely adorned with goldenish ribbons. The garden had tranformed itself and ready to embrace the sacred ceremony between two lovers and the many well wishers. I saw Sze Lynn and Thomas, already seated. I hesistated for one minute, feeling a little uneasy as I sat in between the two pair of couples. My hesistation proved to be short lived. Soon I was busy catching up with Sze Lynn whom I last seen on her wedding months ago. It felt just like old times. Thomas was great! For the whole time, he just sat there quietly listening to us gossiping and laughing. I think I’d give him a 10/10.
Dinner was served soon after the registration. Again, I was seated between the same pairs of couples. I really adore these people as they had once again so effortlessly easing my awkwardness. I thought I’d cry when Sze Lynn shared her peeled prawns with me. It’s her little gesture that made me feel so warm and not alone. Thomas just let the two of us talked all we want. I felt a bit sorry to divert her attention from him. But wiseman said ‘love me love my dog’, hehe, that goes to show how much love he has for Sze Lynn! (But really, did wiseman ever say that? hmm, It doesn’t matter, I ain’t no chihuahua either :P)
I just want to say thank you Susie, Fu Yuen, Sze Lynn and Thomas, from the bottom of my heart!
P/S: Until the day Susan says Hallelujah*, I shall be a happy singleton
Hallelujah* - What Susan is going to say the day I found true love!
