Missing Out?

Friday (240904):
"This day, I will marry my friend". So aptly said. Its amazing how a relationship could last 10 years and the couple end up together as lawful husband and wife. That was what happened to a close pal of mine. Just attended her wedding dinner with the rest of the divers. Took the day off for a relaxed de-stress at a spa before attending the wedding; Saw some of my ex's uni mates. The dinner was good - abalone, seafood platter (I decided to stick to my conviction and steered clear of the shark's fin - nature conservation, yeah man!) Upon reaching home, it made me wonder... "Boy, am I missing out alot in life! Where is my prince charming?"

Saturday (250904):
Flight back delayed. Upon reaching home, went to gym, 'pet grocery shopping' and relaxed at home (read Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code", practised on my keyboard as tomorrow will be my last lesson for the term); In short, I just 'muck around' at home, editing photos from the wedding last night (was supposed to meet my pals for dinner in the evening but it was cancelled last minute due to work schedule).

Sunday (260904):
Woke up and roller bladed; had brunch, showered and went to keyboard lesson (Zali was cute today; he seemed sad and asked me if my mobile number is still valid as he may just "call you to update you on vacancy for the next term" Funny guy! Anyway, I adore his mellow voice and his patience with novice me 'terrorising' the keyboard) Went home and headed to the photo studio for my family portrait of my brother's convocation and mine (frankly, don't understand the fuss about taking photos but if it makes mum proud to hang that photo on her room wall so be it, you know).

Monday (270904):
What a pleasant surprise from an unexpected visitor - Steve, Berenice and Matisse dropped by our office today (thank god I did not go on medical leave; was a little under the weather). How time flies (its been only one and half years since they left for Melbourne) and Berenice is expecting her second child (so happy for her).

Another pleasant news was from my RMIT mate, she just delivered her second son today (got her SMS). Made me feel as though I am missing out alot in life in terms of settling down and having my own 'breed'. Oh well, my time will come... leave it in God's hands. Its true they say, no matter how successful you are, you have not truly attained true bliss if you don't have a family to call your own, to make you feel complete. As they say, "We find solace in the gentle shade of family".
