Wedding date: Jan 20th
All of whom are my poly friends. Friend # (1) is Ben. Always remember him as this tall big sized classmate in my 1st year class at Poly. I was 17 years old then. Young but maybe not that young. Mature, definitely am not. However, in that year, I was "crazy". I was in Electrical Engineering and in those days, it's quite a MAN's course to get into. I remember that in my class, there were only a few girls. Being a tomboy, I could easily gel with them well. Ben is someone whom I called "Father" cause he was HUGE in size and he always give me this fatherly figure image. Whenever we played "Catching", I will be lovingly known as the "Cockroach" cause I was small in size and nimble. Unfortunately, I can't find alot of photos. So this is the BEST few..! See if you can find me.. :P
Friend (2) Eric, my 2nd year classmate who happened to be my ex boyfriend of 4 years plus plus. Someone whom I shared a common interest in the area of sea sports. Love story started when we signed up for wind surfing. Chatted and like every other teenagers, fell in love. Relationship ended when we realised we didn't know why we were in a relationship. We were in it for the sake of being in it. Of course, though it was a mutual understanding, back then, I still loved him la.. So of course, like any other break-up couples, I cried for a few months.
We had never lost contact after the break up though. We always felt that no matter what, our lives has crossed and a friendship should remain. Many years later when we meet up, it was nice just reminiscing how silly we were, how crazy we could be, how we tried to love each other in the only ways we knew how. It has been 11 years that I have known Eric. Our friendship has come a long way. I have seen him maturing from a guy who doesn't know who he wants in life to someone who knows. When he asked me for advise on how to love his girlfriend (his wife to be), on where to get certain things for her, I knew he found the love of his life.
I am so glad... to have receive an invite to his wedding. A dear friend indeed.
Friend (3) is Fang. She is the friend who did all those lovely cards that I have blogged before. She is someone who has left me one life regret. Sometimes, I wonder - What will our friendship be like if I had not taken her for granted? She taught me how not to judge others by what gossips says. She is my 2nd year classmate and she has friends who heard gossips about me. However, she stood firm in the fact that she knows me personally and I am not what the gossips say I am. [I have no idea what the gossips were]
Well, I was young.. and immature. I didn't know how to treasure a good friend. I had to fall in order to learn. Tsk....
Receiving wedding invites is nearly a norm nowadays. Going onto 30, I practically am seeing all my friends getting married one by one. Weddings usually give me goosebumps.However, this three invites has caused me to be a little emotional.
In just a blink of an eye, 12 years passed. We see each other through the different phases of life. It makes me realised how life can be so beautiful through the many scars.
