My Best Friend's Wedding.

The past week was rather tiring as I was working on and ironing out some of the common nitty gritties involved in weddings for my best friend. However, its very worth it cos its my BEST FRIEND's Wedding!!! Oooooo YEah!
I wasn't given the opportunity to say a Best Friend speech on your wedding night and so here it goes...

Semper Fidelis

The name 'Carebear' is probably kindof like some common household names to many of the kids born in the 80s? For those who are much younger, Carebears are some cute little furries who would stand in Sedeyah Position with their puffy,furry fists on their hips and shout "Carebears stare" each time they want to defeat the evil. They each has a mark on their white fuzzy tummy that would give off a ray of bright lights when they fight and would ultimately emerged in victory. They are cute to an extent but I seriously think they are kind of like overweight and they need some eye cream for those puffy eyes which probably develops from the nights spent in trying to fight the evil. Hahahaa ok not farnie. :( Oh Yes and they have this very interesting automobile used in that Cartoon - Cloud Cars. Actually quite environmentally friendly probably is year 3876 it could be a possibility. Ha. Please don't roll your eyes and go "yeah right" cos you really never know, it could just be prophetic! kekeke

Anyway, I call Serene my Carebear friend. :) In no way am I saying that she has any of those physical characteristics though she is slightly hairy and dreams to fly on clouds. *wink* Like I say, Year 3876 could be a possibility haaa :) But she does fit into the other attributes such as the Carebears are generous, kind and always seek to uphold justice. Serene is as such.

If there is one word that I would choose to describe her which sums up my 13 years of knowing her it would be Semper Fidelis. She is always faithful. Through the years, I've seen how she remained fervent in the Lord despite situations faced and trials gone through. In rain or shine seasons she has never failed to worship and praise the Lord.

Like one of the proverbs that says, "As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another" I believe She is one of the beautiful Irons God has strategically placed in my life. There were many instances where she would sharpen me and guide me in my walk with the Lord. She inspires me with her dedication to the Lord and her love for the mission field. The ever passion of wanting to see souls saved is what I loved to emulate.

Her faithfulness to me and our friendship goes beyond those endless din wa zouks (telephone porridge) which we often bou (cooked slowly) during our younger days. Those were the times when we were not concern about beauty sleep and fine lines of course. Now, its slightly different cos her Smurfet friend - I, love to sleep at 10pm. Haaaa :)

It also goes beyond the many Tai Tai afternoon teas we often had and enjoyed especially during her first year of teaching. 9777 19 * * is the number I would call when I needed a listening ear. This small 50cm shoulder frame is what I would often cry and lean on for support. No matter how tired she was, she would still bother to listen, counsel and comfort. She is my always faithful friend.

I am sure to Vincent, she would be as faithful in the years ahead as they journey on together as one in the Lord.

Allow me to propose a final toast - of prayer to the both of you,
May the Lord's face always shines upon you in all that you do. As you walk righteously with Him, may His favour surrounds you like shield. May you never be in lack and always live in abundance. May your marriage testifies of His goodness and love til the day we all see Him face to face. Amen. :) YUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM seng.
