Mix them all up...: WEDDING @ PASSION ROAD

No food review here. More important things to talk about... :)

A couple of weeks back, I attended a friend’s wedding LW at Passion Road (located at Lorong Yap Kwan Seng). It’s of course a beautiful bungalow converted to a cosy romantic restaurant with a lot of greenery right in the heart of KL.

Looking Back…

I first met LW when I was in secondary years in church when her family had just migrated back from US. Having lived there for years, the schema then about her was… sure got slang wan… and sure wild party girl wan…

She of course had her slang… but I was totally caught by surprise by the fact that not only was she NOT a party girl… she was a totally super duper duper goody two shoes girl… so much so to the extent that she refused to watch a movie at GSC cinema back in Bukit Mertajam/Penang with us as a group because she thought cinema’s were DODGY!!! I would have understood if we were going to some Pawagam… but GSC??!?!! That was of course the one significant fond memory I had about LW that have stuck with me until today.

Through the years, we grew closer as friends and of course apart as I went to her mutha-land to study and she went to a new land NZ to study.

Attending her wedding and meeting back with numerous old church mates brought back fond memories of us all when we were all back in Penang… The Youth Camps, the outings, the gung-ho-ness to show off our guitar skills, the bus load of laughter, the caroling, the charity events, and practically everything else we did together was just plain fun. So little worries, so much fun. If ever there was a day I could choose to re-live, it would definitely be the years I spent with all of them.

But as life has it, one single good time never would last forever, we all grow up (regardless of how we try to deny it), we grow apart with each taking our own path, we meet with new people, form new relationships and experience different good times.

Attending wedding dinners like this really throw back oxymoronish emotions. At one hand, you’re glad to meet up with old friends, but on the other, you know you are now not as close anymore and wished that we all could have remain that close and fun together but you know it’s not possible.

Of course the lesson here is always to enjoy the moments together regardless of how short it would have been. As we sat at the dinner table together and the wall awkwardness of not meeting each other for years crumbles away, we began this to enjoy this short moment of joy by simply being ourselves (not the corporate punk, not the “who I am today”, not the brains, not the cool dude)…. Jus the people we all use to be… and it was a perfect moment for each one of us as we joked and enjoy the company of one another. It was a beautiful night.

No doubt, we all left that night, going back to our own paths probably without meeting each other again until the next wedding, but each of us went back knowing that we all carry in our hearts a piece of experience we have had with each other that we will always hold dearly to.

To LW, CONGRATULATIONS on your new found life and we wish you all the best in the new journey that you would be embarking on.
