L & N's wedding festivities... which kicked off with their solemnisation arnd 2wks ago... finally ended today... I'm so so happy for them as i'm sure her dad and grandparents were... her TokAyah is positively beaming with happiness... never had i seen him so radiant in all the years I've known L & family... the dinner last nice was a nice reunion among the gang... only feeling a bit sad that only I & myself were there representing HSS-Femme15... too bad S can't fly back in time... the guys...? god knows what's up with them... was too tired to wait for them for the lunch today...

but glad for the wind of fates that brought the bride and teh groom together... it's nice to have N fitting into the group so well... as "often" as we meet nowadays... *smiles*... was an extremely poignant moment during the solemnisation and reception at melaka when the absence of L's late mum is so dearly felt... L may claim how she's not close to her parents and all having been raised in SG most of her life, but parents are still parents... there was a very heavily pregnant silence when her dad hugged her after the solemnisation, trying to hold back tears... i think the whole room went still seeing the poignant moment...

for myself... relationship with mum's been improving of late... guess we've been trying harder to understand each other... or maybe coz mum been around more often oflate... her health's not too good of late... so daddy's been going back JB on his own most times... but too many days without daddy around still can be a strain on me... though he always find it most amusing how we can squabble over the littlest things... haha... they say mums n daughters who are looks alike get along the least well... i find some truth in that judging by how often pple comments like i look like mummy... SIGH! what can i say... i'm more of a daddy's girl (and boy, all rolled into one *winks*)
