Last weekend, I attended sis Lan's wedding. I was proud to be one of her bridesmaids at the gate crashing and also emcee for the wedding lunch. I have known her for over 10 years and I consider her one of my best friends. We both came from Vung Tau and studied at the same high school but she is one year my senior. We came to Singapore together and enrolled the same batch at business school. I recall she visiting me at my dorm in the early time we first came to Singapore. She was in my room at PGP, chitchatting for a while. She mentioned about the difficulty getting a loan to buy a laptop. Suddenly, her tears dropped, I was speechless at that moment but I truly knew how she was feeling. We were both U20 young girls stepping out of our family's protection to live and study in a foreign country. The preliminary stage was so tough in adapting to the new culture and the rigorous studying schedule.
8 years have passed, I was on the stage of the hotel's ballroom as the emcee, watching her and the groom hand in hand walking along the aisle. I was crying inside seeing her contented face and happy smile. She is a beautiful, smart and kind girl who deserves a long lasting marriage. I know at last she has found her man who treasures and loves her and from the bottom of my heart I am so happy for her.
