My iphone beeped...

Facebook - XXX sent you a message...

Hmmm...XXX? I haven't seen her in ages and I haven't been in touch with her either...why would she message me?

Message title: Wedding Invitation

OMG!!! ANOTHER ONE????
What a reaction, right? I should be happy that my friend is getting married! It was really a big surprise!

The message read: "Hi Lydia, how are you? Hope things are going well :) I am going to get married on...at...and I'd like to invite you to join in the celebration....................."

Oh well, I can't run away from the fact of life!

My friend was sharing with me her experience and I could really feel exactly what she felt...I could even include myself in her story...

Imagine this scenario: 5 girls, who are good friends since university, met up for dinner. The following story has been slightly modified to make it juicier,haha...

The latest status of the girls are as follows:
Girl A - Just got married
Girl B - Just got engaged, going to get married soon
Girl C - In a very steady relationship, planning to get married
Girl D - In a complicated relationship
Girl E - Single

The conversation started off with Girl B, telling the whole story on how she got engaged, how unromantic the supposedly-once-in-a-lifetime affair turned out to be...and that story alone took about 30 minutes to finish. The diamond ring is too shiny to be missed, by the way. The conversation continues on how close her relationship with the fiance's family. Girl C interrupted with her story on her trip with the boyfriend's family and on how steady her relationship is, that she is so ready to get married anytime.

Then Girl A, who arrived late for the dinner, joined into the conversation effortlessly, telling the whole group on her married life. The whole dinner revolved around getting engaged, getting married, and being married. Imagine yourself being Girl D or Girl E, what would you feel?

You can just patiently listen to all their stories, put up a fake smile as if you are enjoying the whole dinner. At that instance, it's just so natural that you feel like leaving this group of girls. But they used to be in your clique before, they used to be your good friends before...

Look at what time can do to your friendship! As time passes by, you lose lots of your friends simply because you can't click with them anymore...you don't have anymore things in common to talk about. Marriage is the hottest issue when you enter the age of 25 and if you are not part of the wave, who have found their right partners, you will just feel so left out.

What will you do if you are either Girl D or Girl E? Continue hanging out with single friends? But the time will come that your single friends, one by one, are going to be in a relationship, engaged, married, having kids...and so on. Life is made worse by pressures from parents and families...sucky rite? To those, who have found their right partners, I sincerely wish you a happily ever after life, you have one less problem to worry in life!

This rental saga is really driving me crazy and draining all my energy physically and mentally! I'm too tired to repeat the whole story all over again (I have been repeating it thousands times to so many people)...I admit that i have to give this guy two thumbs up for successfully inflicting stress and much inconvenience to my life!

To all those who have helped me, thank you so much! I am really grateful to see that in this kind of situation, so many of my friends and colleagues are willing to help me out...

To him, thank you for always being there when i need you the most...for helping me to sort out this problem and for spending all your time by my side :)

IN A MONTH'S TIME, I'M GOING TO TURN 25!!! OMG!!! THIS'S SCARY!!!
