Long time no see 好久不见
This is the seconds wedding dinner I have attended in the past 1 week. Seems like everyone around me is getting married. Needless to say, I m happy for them all and I m surprised that I actually enjoyed myself. Maybe it's because these weddings are that of friends rather than relatives. Guess most of those single people out there understands the agony of attending weddings of relatives. Aunties and Uncles will start to ask so when is your turn? Got steady or not? That kind of things... sigh...

Anyway, tonite was the joyous occasion of one of my army friend. He sent me the invitation weeks ago and I noted it down in my handphone, but somehow I actually forgot that today was the day. It was my mum that reminded me of it. Lol... Guess too many things going on in my mind right now that I keep forgetting stuff. As usual for a saturday evening, the traffic into town was horrid. I spent almost 40 mins getting to the place and trying to find a parking lot. Moving on, it has been years since I met these Army friends of mine. We gone through alot of crap during our time as medics in the medical centre. The senior medic Amy Lau was the most unreasonable and crappy hag out there. But thanx to her, the bunch of us were so united as we found a common enemy and helped each other out to make life a living hell for her. Hahaha... those were the days.

I was glad to see many of those guys who were like brothers to me. We talked and joked and updated each other on how we are. Glad to see that most of them were doing fine. Rather surprising was that Edwin(the guy getting married) actually got us to help out for the wedding. We helped with the table arrangement and one of the guys was the MC for the night. Even Dr Khoo was invited to the wedding. I think he was one of the nicest medical officers during my stay at the medical centre. He helped us out when we got into trouble with the senior medic.

Earlier in the day, Edwin messaged us saying that we will be activated on stage to help in the wine toasting. I was like thinking "oh no"... It's one of those things which I did not like and do not do during wedding dinners. But when the time came, the bunch of us medics and medical doctor, went gamely onto the stage and yelled our lungs out all in the name of friendship. Hahaha... well... it turned out pretty ok...

So the dinner went pretty enjoyable with lotsa chatting and exchange of contacts. I was pleased to see Yung, one of my understudies at the medical centre at that time. I did not expect to see him as we lost contact after I completed my NS. Too bad he was sitting at the next table and we did not have chance to speak till 3/4 into the night. I must say that he looks alot better than he did years ago, not to say that he look bad then.

We mingled and stayed till the end of the dinner, and helped out alittle after all the guest left. Then there was a photo taking session for the bunch of us. It was a great time I must say. After that, a few of us went to a club call Timbre near the old NLB for a drink and to chill out. There was a live performance and the lady belting out songs was pretty impressive. The ambience was not super fantastic due to the table that we were sitting, but I think it is not too bad a place to hang out with friends. One thing though, the music is all english, so those that only listen to mandarin songs might be alittle disappointed. The night ended after a long chat session and drinks. I m tired but the events of the night seems to spur me on.

Just as the song 好久不见 by 5566 goes, it's a long time since we met. The memories that have long been left at the back of our minds, suddenly woke and ignite a fire within us once again. (^^,)
