It’s an epic tale of a fairytale romance over 13 years. Everybody on cue now say….”Awwwww“. Last weekend, yet another friend, Siti Aminah Abdullah or Aminah to us, Siti to the rest; got hitched to Shaipul Iskandar or Isk who happened to be an ex-neighbour!
We are all connected in some weird way, I tell you and if you really try to connect all the dots; you and Fiona Xie could actually be “friend of friends”. Yes, you have just earned some bragging rights at the next social meeting. “Me and Fiona? Ohh we go way back“…lol
The plan was to hitch a ride from Seha’s; she’s the lady boss with the car but no luck with license YET!, am rooting for her success in April and definitely looking forward to many more impromptu night suppers. Fieda was the trusted designated driver for the day, the one we put our lives at stake with and I was her vehicle commander aka portable street directory, the one who holds the responsibilty of not getting lost. Seha’s mom entertained us with stories of her cucus that left both me and Fieda tearing with laughter all the way to Sentosa to pick Seha up. No, Pah…we did not laugh about you…*snigger*!!!
We were definitely late as hell, funny thing was that Norman, Shera and Ayu who was there (at Pasir Ris) got lost for an hour and so the great samaritans that we were, we searched for them and brought them back to safety. 10 brownies points for ME and the ladies. lol.
It was actually a blessing that we were late as we got to meet the bride and groom at the carpark coz we were the first friends they actually got to meet before making their grand entrance. The food was NOT served buffet style and so we came just in time to eat.
Aminah was splendidly beautiful in her white gown and Isk was as suave as always in his cream 3 piece tux. The speeches by the cousins were very endearing although a tad too long but the event was saved by Aminah’s solo performance for her dear husband. “You’re Still The One…” everybody, on cue now say…”Awwwwwww”

For Noi!!
Selamat ulang tahun sayang
Kini kau bersayap, pergilah terbang
Rentaslah langit cita cita mu

Korang jangan jelos eh, bukan aku tak nak ajak yg lain kuar dinner tapi nie impromptu and lecehlah nak plan2. Aku ngan Maria jenis OK GO punya, lagipun dia abes kerja lambat kena do markings kat sekolah and aku pun nak abeskan work dulu. Member ajak makan kat Clementi kira meet in the middle, senang sikit nak balek cos kiter berdua memang budak Jurong pe. Lepas makan phad thai yg dah tak serupa phad thai tapi rasa semacam jer, cam char kway teow jer. Hampa sehampanya, aku tak nak beli lagi phad thai kat Thaksin. Celaka betol, dah ler $4, isi tarak abeh memang bukan cam phad thai pun. Apekejadah ler.

Lepas borak2, aku pun naik senak tapi nak chill kat tempat aircon. Tetap la, kata abg2 ngan kakak2, tak kan nak lepak kat kedai kopi kan. Naik cab terus gi Holland Village, minum kat Starbucks. Ader jer topik kuar tapi topik2 yg mencerna minda semestinya bukan pasal news kosong2. Walaupun aku sachok tapi aku jenis abg2 pandai k bukan himbo *looks at xxxx* wahahahaha
When I was posed this question earlier today, not exactly in the same sentence structure but the gist is, “were you close? doesn’t seem so, i don’t know..” I was fast to answer, as a matter of fact, “yes“.
Yes, we were and so now we are not. It’s such a simple question but it actually put everything in perspective. Change is inevitable, you have to embrace it and not resist it. It all makes sense now and all the fret was totally unneccessary. Alhamdulilah. It was a chip taken off my shoulders and now I feel “lifted”. Thank You!
See, although I may not always finish my sentences, I do listen OK.
I shall reveal the shoot now that Siti Aminah and Shaipul Iskanda just got married yesterday.
