My Bro-in-law's Birthday Bash

Just returnened a while ago from my brother-in-law's birthday party. It was a surprise party actually, planned by my sis. Actually, I was not too keen to go at first (as usual for most occasions) but I forced myself cos I felt the need to socialise more. And having a throbbing headache a couple of hours prior certainly did not help. Okay, finally made it there and on time some more (applause)!

Initially I felt kind of uncomfortable (another norm) cos I had not hung out with the group there for quite some time. It made it worse when most there were families (as in husbands, wives with their babies). Anyway, I got through the initial phase and got to the eating part. That, I must say was pretty enjoyable. We ate at a restaurant called 'The Scholar'. The food was really good, to say the least.

When we were done, we headed to my sis' place for cake cutting session. Before we sang the birthday boy his song, my sis did one of the most romantic thing I have ever experienced. She wrote and declared in front of all of us the things she loved about her hubby, the details of which I shall not mention. As she read, she started to tear. I was really moved inside cos I saw the relationship that she and her husband enjoyed. What made all these more precious was that we did not get to see this kind of love in our parents. As far as I could remember, my parents were most of the times at cold shoulders with each other till they finally divorced close to a decade ago. So, for me to see my sister in such a beautiful family with such a loving husband and great kids, it really touched me a lot. And I can only thank God for making this possible, knowing the kind of background we came from. Wished I recorded it though. Would have been nice to keep it as a memory......
