As usual, Sandy and I were the first to arrive at the designated place enjoying a round of Sour Apple with 7 Up.
I have to say this drink is rather addictive and potent at times if consumed wrongly.
Dinner was booked for 6 of us at eight-thirty, the only time where tables were available thus the reason for pre-dinner drinks if not, what else could we do?
Forget what we ate at the buffet but what's important was an announcement made during dinner. Lance proudly announced that he is to be a father soon. Happy news on a joyous occassion.
Come this time next year, a baby will join us for the birthday celebration of a mother - Monica.
So the news was told, thoughts came through my mind hurriedly. Diapers, milk bottles and a familiar scent of babywash. That's the next phase in life for our group of friends. First was Ed and Louisa, then Lance and Monica, will it be Mun and Clara next?
Its a funny thought to see us all carrying big and small bags, pushing a stroller and singing children's songs. Constantly catching a glimpse of the time to make sure we won't miss feeding time and have hungry children. Phew.
Anyway why am I thinking of such when I still have many stages to go. Wedding not done, house not purchased and weapon not fired. Its a long way more but for many of my friends, they are there at that level and ready to fire. One or two might fire a few more rounds before they know how to stop.
Here, let me wish Monica a happy pregnancy. Remember what I told you, a happy mother makes a happy child while a happy father tries making more children ... Clara, you ready? :)
