A Reunion

Had a wonderful gathering wif all my JC Dance Team frens tonite. It's not so much of seeing them again. But rather, what they got me thinking of my own life.

Most of us turned up today for a simple get together dinner (we met last week for a movie) so it wasn't really a catching-up with what each other is doing. Our dear pregnant-for-6mths fren finally turned up as well. Was quite happy to see her, seeing that bulging tummy does look weird. 7-8 years ago.. we all were dance partners... 2 yrs ago.. she got married.. and now... pregnant for 6 months already. Wow time really flies.

A few others are planning to get married soon. My dear 'sister' finally sees her flat taking shape. (Yes... bought a flat like 2 years ago? When only the grounds were laid out according to the blueprints) Our 'big sis' is doing really well as a freelance makeup artist. Well, for those who are getting married and needs a makeup artist, please book her at least ONE year in advance. (Interested please pm me for her contact). Next, a fren is starting her own (yes! HER OWN) magazine house in aussie and planning to distribute to Singapore or M'sia. She's back to laise wif some publishers, so i heard. Another fren of ours is now a fine looking young lady and seems to be climbing the career ladder smoothly.

Well, i won't say im envious of them. To each his/her own. Everybody has their story to tell, what we see now may be the fruits of their labour. The more we compare, the more frustrated we get. Most importantly we are comfortable wif our lives.

But actually, it's all these that got me thinking. Where do i wan to go? What m i doing now? Can things be better than wat it is now? It's time i start planning for what i wan. Or m i juz floating around and let the tides take me to wherever it goes? Well, that's seems like a carefree plan. Do what i like, and take everything as it comes. But it's not me to let events catch me offguard... im the kind who prefers to anticipate things to happen. But i hate that coz it always makes me mentally tired from thinking too much.. or rather worry too much into other possiblities.

And then we were talking about planning for marriage and house and stuff. Well, imagine this... close your eyes and imagine this scenario. This is the nex milestone in life.... the academic years are over... you are wif someone whom u gonna spend the rest of ur life wif... and for the very first time.. you r gonna be planning something for your own lives... as an adult. I dunno... but it really sounds exciting to me... as i embark on a journey wif my beloved together as one.

Imagine the cost of it all... how the wedding will turn out.. where to hold the dinner... who to invite... how things will turn wrong at the last minute... etc... And then there's the house.. the payments... the furniture.. the colours... and also things that will go wrong at the last minute. But at the end of the day, when everything falls into place, all these will form another set of beautiful memories that had been part of a new beginning as you live your new life together wif ur husband/wife.

Ah.. haha.. a simple reunion got me thinking of soo many things... Perhaps it's just a fairy tale dream? Or something that's really possible to happen?

Perhaps.... perhaps.... perhaps...
