How elusive is time? I last clicked on the “Write Post” button of this blog more than six months ago, in early September.
Much has taken place since then, not least my impending marriage to Jenny (see here for her one and only post on this blog). Yes, I’m guilty (and it’s true): love has drawn me away from maintaining this site and writing this blog. The whole experience has taken my quite by surprise – one never plans for such things. The nicest change has quietly crept into my being, almost unobtrusively. There is a new found calmness, … a serenity and felicity to the colour and tempo of life.
We’re due to tie the knot on May 26th. And May 27th, too. This Big Day is too big to contain within a simple 24 hour window. The two days will be full of fun, friends, family; with dinners, gatherings and a tea ceremony thrown in for good cultural measure.
After that, we’ll jet away for a fortnight to Mexico and Cuba (hence the travel guide purchases). After that, there is the small matter of making a home of our apartment at The Berth. And after that, a completed life.

Congtratulations, you guys. What better excuse for not blogging? I shall expect a full complement of wedding pix here in due course. Nina and I get hitched on May 5, before heading off to Amsterdam, well known of course for being the Mexico and Cuba of Europe.
Singapore is the anti-thesis of Amsterdam, don’t you know? Fly down, drink some beer, see the sights.
You know, the most difficult thing about it is the shift in self-image that accompanies this transition from single person to part of a union (however defined); from a twenty-something to a married thirty-something; from a care-free, though partial, existence to one which encompasses family and wholeness (however defined).
