some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Yesterday night was XL’s hen night! Well,if you can even call it one because like I told her,it has to be the most non-happening hen night to go down in history haha. I think she freaks out not so much because there might be a stripper for the night or any wild ideas (like it is even our style) but for the mere association with the creature due to her unexplainable phobia for birds of flight or even those that can simply flap their feathers around hehe. So anyway it shall thus be known as the last singles get-together that she is having with us (Alice, Huiling and I) before her big day this weekend. We are the three very honored guests from the uni faculty that she’s inviting for the ROM day. Yaay! Well,low-key is the idea here tho’ I think 60 guests is still a lot haha.
Planned then was a simple dinner at My Secret Garden where it was quiet enough on a weekday night for the four of us to have a good chat. The minimalist environment there just eases you into a comfy good mood even though it was after work and all. So we had a chat about work, a chat about marriage and a chat about what the future may hold. A chat that only close girl friends can carry out with unabashed frankness and heartfelt sincerity. The funny revelations that we hear of,the suggestive tips on dating that were shared and the quirky marriage schemes that were cooked up. Ahhh,yes,the inexperienced trio now knows how to capture the heart of a man or how to handle a marriage proposal,thanks to the lessons gleaned from the bride-to-be. And the planning for weddings,gosh such efforts it take,all to make it that one perfect memorable event in your life.
So to XL: We hope you had a great night. The softness in your eyes, the blissful smile you wore and your tinkling laughter all spell of the bliss you are in right now. You may not see it but we do. What lingers in the air is that of a sweetness when a girl anticipates her transformation into a woman and a wife. The new phase in life that is uncertain but exciting all the same. You begin it all for us. And we are so proud and happy that you are taking this one big step.
