Ian's Wedding

Ian's wedding dinner was held at Swisotel the Stanford, a very posh and high class hotel.

His wedding was like a mini gathering for those of us who used to be in the Southern Island Flight and I am sure that all of us present are happy for him, for he had found a very nice lady to share his life with.

While I myself could never imagine going through with the rigors of getting married, the wedding dinner itself was quite touching, especially when they showed the video that Ian had made for his wife.

Before, whenever I thought of Ian, an image of a flippant, social butterfly (especially around the girls) who is always full of lame jokes comes to mind. However on this night, I saw Ian in a different light.

Maybe it's the lighting, or even the formal suit that he wore, but it seems that marriage had changed and made him more stable, for to me, he kinda appear more mature and somehow seemed to finally made the transition to being an adult. (Yeah, I know, we are way past the age of 21. But being old and being an adult are 2 different things, I think)

However, traces of his humour still showed when he was making his wedding speech, and it is strangely reassuring to know that he was still the same lame-ass person whom I had understudied under before.

Throughout the dinner, I also had fun catching up with the rest of the Pawai-ans, seeing as how the rest of the Pawai Rangers (Yeah, i know its a corny name, but it is catchy ok!) seem to have found their directions in life (Kianyong, Junjie, Jonathan and Weida are in Universities, Cruise and Yong Tai are property agents, Lawrence is in investments while Eric is working hard from ground up in his father's company)

It is also kind of sad as compared to the rest of them, I am still flip flopping around in life and work, single, and not knowing exactly where I am headed or where I want to go.

As people who knows me well should know, I am no good at waxing lyrical about sentimental stuff and so those of you who want more information on the wedding can go to Junjie's posting on the wedding.


Anyways, I would like to wish Ian and Wanjun happiness in their marriage and to borrow a line from Junjie:

Yen, 祝您和琬君永結同心﹐白頭諧老 !!!

Have more kids and be saddled with a lot of study loans wor!
