Special Couple Nick and Chihiro |
It
was a wonderful Engagement Party, held at Royal Saxon in Church Street.
I was surprised to find such a nice hideaway on such a busy road. Must
admit, Nick taste is great. I made a point to make sure I would arrive a
little late because I wouldn't know anyone which proved to be true but
Nick was kind enough to introduce me to a few people who kept me company
till Chris and Cindy arrived. Who knew Nick has a brother? Not Me! Had a
great chat with him, he actually used to live near me... in the
"shield" What is the Shield? Well, I didn't know about it till last
night either, the shield is a residential area in Glen Waverley that has
every street named from places or people from Camelot. I have to head
down there when I get a spare moment. On another note, he directed me to
"Setto Bello", a nearby Italian restaurant that will be the next
destination for Willie and myself. However, more than anything, I was
surprised that he believed that I would make
something of myself not to
mention the chat made me more hopeful of landing a decent job when I
graduate.

Notice all the surrounding places have similar medieval names |

Additionally, he highlighted the fact that the "right girl" was worth waiting for. On this point I have only now recognised that I have been
really stupid. I keep saying I will do anything for Zoe but clearly not getting myself sorted, making myself better and waiting wasn't on that list.
How did my resolve falter so much? These times of weakness make me feel so ashamed. Last night opened my eyes. It may have been a month since I have last seen her but despite this, everyday I still think of her and every time she still makes my heart beat faster. I do love her, my post the other day in itself was foolish. If I love her as much as I say I do... then I will wait and do whatever I need to. I just
hope she hasn't given up on me.
Back to the party... The amount of Western to Asian couples that I
saw that last night was rather hard to believe. Perhaps its just Nick
and Chihiro's group of friends but even so, I was amazed! I even joking
said that "Nick has joined the club", or least he will officially next
year when they tie the knot.
Also, I was surprised to find
out that Shaun was going to make an appearance and I made a point to
stay a little longer so I could catch up with him. That young man used
to me my martial arts instructor and my school teacher before I changed
courses. It is hard to believe what he has achieved and what he has
achieved despite having a full plate.... that is... 5 kids, course
coordinator in addition to starting up a blog/ business, he is clearly a
testament of what can be done if you set your mind to it both
physically and mentally. Sadly I don't get to see this inspirational man
as much as I used to but when I do, I try to make it count.
All in All it was a
great night and I wish Nick and Chihiro the best.
