At 27 years of age, many of my peers are getting married. I can understand this is an 'ideal' age to get married, but I can't fathom why so many of them chose to get married in the month of Dec and Jan 07. I have received (plus those I know will be in my mailbox pretty soon) 6 invitations, (actually 7, but because of a clash, I can't attend one) for the coming two months. That is to say, if all are held on weekends, I'll almost have good food to eat every weekend.
Of course I'm very happy for my friends. They found their other halves and I can see how happy they are. I bet they are enjoying the preparation process, though people usually say the preparation is hell lot of work. The gown and suit fittings, the phototaking, the banquet booking, wedding favours, the house reno, honeymoon venue sourcing etc.... Wow...I actually miss doing all these. By the way, last month wasn't a good month for photoshoot. My friend, Kit, was telling us that he was trying to have outdoor shots at Sentosa. But because of the haze, the photos were all blur.
Anyway, to the following people, I'm happy for you and wishing you a blissful marriage!
Kit and wife - I hope I dun have to remind you that you are MARRIED anymore!!
Chee Wan and wife - your house is very nicely done, I'm sure u r very proud of it too!
Shuyi and Jerome - Hey girl, long time no see, why are u always so bz???? when can we meet?
Angela and Jason - Jason, must take good care of my hubby's 'sister' ok?
Zer and hubby
WC and wife

Malachi 3:3
This was sent to me by my big boss. I find it very meaningful. So I'd like to share this with anyone reading my blog. Especially my students who are having their A Level papers now, I think it really serves as an encouragement!
Malachi 3:3 says:
"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my imagenin it"
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
