Another wedding missed

I received great news today from a dear friend back home telling me that she’s married. She told me earlier this year that she’ll be getting married end of this year but when I wasn’t sure. I was totally happy for her for finally settling down. How I wish I could be there and witness her wedding. How I wish I could see how she looked like in person as a bride. I could imagine I’d be brimming with pride that the beautiful bride there is my best girlfriend!

The girl that I’ve known since I was 12. Since that day I sat next to her in our tuition class, we’ve become great friends. Our houses were situated not far away from each other, which was one of the reason that I used to hang out at her place and she at mine after school. When we reached high school, we’d often take a bus to town to go shopping during weekends. When we were old enough to drive, she would pick me up at my place and off we went again on our shopping spree. Although there wasn’t many shopping outlets in Ipoh, we would still enjoy strolling and window shopping, enjoying each other’s company. She was my shopping buddy and one of my best girlfriend!

My mum said that she finds it really amazing that our friendship has lasted this long until today because we only met during tuition classes and sometimes on weekends. Furthermore she was from another school. I find it amazing myself as I wasn’t even close to some friends that I met everyday at school.

I have missed many weddings since coming over to Germany. I think it’s really a pity to miss out on something so wonderful. If any of you out there are getting hitch soon, do inform me in advance ya. I’ll try my best not to miss out another of my best friend wedding again *fingers crossed*.
