Presentation for the newly-minted civil servants....

Yeah, like what the..... ???
I didn't expect much from them so I'll shut up about their level of interest, or at least the level they tried to show me, which was as high as my 2-inch heels. Duh.
I was also pretty tired from having to wake up one hour after I fall asleep every time. (I don't know why, but I will always experience difficulty in breathing 1 hour into my sleep every night. Ridiculous! Infuriating!) AND! I was having stomach upset this morning.
But I do credit some for attempting to ask some questions and alleviating some of the awkward silence.... Thanks :)

I was sent to and back with a car, pretty decent, like a celebrity, minus the red carpet. On my way back, I chatted with the driver and the topic drifted to if I am single. I guess I've been asked that too often and am totally immune now. So yeah, 'it would be nice if I can find someone I like, Sir'. And yes, 'it's a waste to be alone, Sir'. etc. Ah well.

My friend is getting married. Or rather, she has registered her marriage, but is planning to hold the official ceremony next year. Wow. I mean, I do have friends who are married and with kids, but they're 'distant friends'. All my friends, the rest of the really good ones are still single. Maybe we are cursed.

Back to my friend. I've known her for so long, not the longest among my friends but long enough, like nearly 10 years? Oh my GOD! AH!
Anyway, we knew each other since we were silly teenagers. What made us come together I really can't remember, but we wouldn't have known each other if she did not join the Chinese Orchestra. It was a natural progression for me, but she was playing basketball before that. Leng, do you miss the practices? :) I think the only good thing that happened to me during that time was that.

Oh dear, I've digressed again. I was going to talk about her marriage. Well, how I feel about marriage. But I've digressed so much I forgot what I wanted to say. urgh.

Anyway, I think it's wonderful, it's like finding your... a place in life. That is in the heart of your partner.
Your partner who will walk with you till you have to wear dentures.
Your partner who will hold you and say 'I love you' when you don't have to smile to see your laugh lines.
Your partner who will share the rest of your life's memories with you.
You will always have a place in your partner's heart, wherever you are.
Wow.

I really want to find my place, Sir......
