Wedding n Friends

Attended Mulian's wedding last night at Marriot Hotel. Many NTU friends turned up. Edwyn, Gavin, Joelle, hall friends, Mulian's clubbing kakis were there. Well, jun was also invited, hee... It's good to be blessed by blissful marriage. whahaha... call me pan-dang if u like.

When montages of Mulian was played, it reminded me of times when we were classmates. She actually included our photos too. So touched! Well, we went for a one wk trip to Penang and KL during Year 2. Those were the days. Anyway, I knew her for 5 years and she is now happily married to Ryan. Feel very happy for her, at the same time, very honoured to be invited to her wedding dinner.

After dinner, joelle, gavin, edwyn and i went for coffee. Been a very very long time since the few of us get together. Joelle is doing very well at Prudential, star performer some more. I guess the job suits her a lot. Ed also updated me abt his work. Poor guy, have to go thru so much stress.

Though given the chance to travel regularly, his health deteriorated due to stress n overwork. I told him to leave the job if health is jeopardised. I mean no point staying on if ur health is affected. When i came home, i told my mum abt it. She agreed to what i said too.

However, she did point out something to me, which left me thinking the whole night. Despite getting lower pay, almost 0% overseas oppt, i still get to travel overseas. Let me explain. When u go abroad for work, (though fully paid by company) u work, but no time for fun or recreation. Like ed, he had a hard time, cannot recover fully from his illness.

For me, i paid for my own trip. It is out of my savings and the more i should enjoy. Unlike others, I will not be disturbed from work while on a holiday. That's true. I can "xin an li de" shop ard or go sightseeing. It's something not everyone can do it. Mum said, i should be grateful to be able to travel. (Here she meant holiday n not work)

Yes, i am. That is why i am always on the move whenever possible. I love travelling. Do it when i am still young and not tied down by kids. I mean when u have family, if without the kids still ok, u can travel with your wife/husband, but when a kid comes into picture, things will change. More travelling? Yes, but will stop for a while after june. The upcoming trip is expensive. whahaha....
