3 weddings and a tummy ache

My best friend in the whole world re-married 3 saturdays ago. She married the same guy. The story is that they never did the big church wedding with the gown and the tea ceremony and hotel dinner. So to celebrate their 10th anniversary, they did the whole shabang!

She was beautiful, radiant from the start of the day right up to the end of the night - well, the end for me that is. I took leave earlier than I would have liked because my tummy wasn't feeling very happy that weekend. So in honour of my being her non-bridesmaid, she saved the bottle of Moscato that had been sitting on ice in the suite that day, and lugged it over to my place last weekend - she wasn't kidding when she said that bottle was intended for me and me alone. 

I love you MW!









My cousin announced via his mother that he, too, would be tying the knot soon - on the 15th of July. In Germany. I wish I had the funds to crash the wedding. I love him and wish him well.

And it must be an auspicious date because MB is signing on the dotted line too - in Malacca. It has been many years, and now she's met someone whom she can see herself having a future with. It'll be tough for sure, with the logistics to consider - her here, him in KL and KS in Malacca with Po Po... but I'm sure they'll be able to make it work in the meantime. Congratulations Nya Lisa. I wish the best for all of you!


And me? I feel as if my life has shifted a little. I'm not sure for better or worse.  I'm embarking on a new stint with a music school, I'm re-assessing my relationships with friends and family; it feels like something's changed, except not really. Looking at my daily comings and goings, everything seems the same. Perhaps it's something in my spirit. I feel restless, but at the same time assured of movement and change in the near future. I am consoled by meaningful words and thoughtful actions, but just beneath the surface there's a tinge of discontent. I'm optimistic and pessimistic at the same time, if that's possible. And if it isn't, well, that's how I'm feeling anyhow. Yeah, that's the best way to describe me at the moment.
