November 25 Blood TiesWork has been so crazy recently that I have not been able to update my blog on the commencement of sales of tickets to my upcoming play, Blood Ties, at SISTIC! Sales has started and it seems good. I went to buy tickets for my friends on the 1st or 2nd week and many rows were already taken up for some shows! I am also heartened to see my colleagues buying tickets at such early days. Hope to see you there too~!
 Description:
What holds a family together? Is it money, family values, crisis or simply pure love? In this heart-warming comedy, three squabbling siblings are forced to unite when an outsider tries to lay claim on their father's business inheritance; a mother worries that her family is falling apart when her daughters adopt different family values; and a daughter while struggling with her mother's dementia, gets a shocking revelation about her family. Mixing Chinese Opera elements, wacky slapstick action and many endearing moments, Blood Ties is a family show not to be missed! This fiercely original SIM FILM AND PERFORMING ARTS SOCIETY production stars an ensemble cast wholly comprising of student talents from SIM.

On the side pavement, a couple ambling on caught my eye. The guy was holding a canvas bag over the girl's head without any shelter for himself. This selfless act of love displayed sincere affection which is so simple yet profound. Amidst the heavy rain, they were taking their time and enjoying themselves as they joked and laughed while the guy was struggling with the canvas bag and the girl trying to help him with it. As the bus drove nearer, I realised they were a young couple who was about 17 years old. Sweet young love like this brought back memories and a smile to my face. November 03 GoodbyeToday (Yesterday) is 2 November and you have left for Taiwan. When I was bathing yesterday (the day before), I suddenly realised it was 1 November and wanted to wish you bon voyage via SMS today (yesterday) but your wife won't be happy about that so I thought of penning my thoughts here. I hope your married life will be a blissful and meaningful one, especially since your first steps as a married couple is in a foreign land.
I'm sure you will treat her really well, just like how you treated me in the past (until we had that huge problem). You said that you tell her everything but I guess you don't tell her your little quirks which she would need to find out on her own. Perhaps, she has known most or all of them by now. Like how you don't like your ears to be pulled or face to be touched. If her favourite flavour is strawberry too, it will be great. Otherwise, I'm sure you will just order her favourite everytime or let her think her favourite is also your favourite. I don't think she will buy you Moisture White hydration mask for your face but it really worked for you so you should get it on your own. I reckon Taiwan has The Body Shop too. Oh, she may buy other products for you and they may work just as well.
You always know how to take care of others and not yourself. I still remember that you would scrimp and save in your daily life to buy me stuff, bring me out and treat me to fine dining. It also comes to mind that there was only once in the 3 years + that we were together which you did not send me home after being out together. It just so happened that I fell sick on the way back and you felt so bad about it, you made it a point to always send me back, no matter how tired or busy you are.
Don't smoke too much and work too hard. You are capable, intelligent and smart but learn to give yourself a break sometimes. Whether you work yourself to exhaustion or not, you will still succeed in life. This is something that I will never doubt. You wanted to be an Officer and you have achieved that. Like I told you, I was so proud of you that I wanted to give you a hug but your then-girlfriend would be even more displeased. You wanted to earn lots of money and you are doing that now. I always remember you telling me, "Instead of thinking of ways to save that few cents, think of ways to earn that few cents." I have always been telling mummy in the past that I don't need someone who is rich to be my boyfriend but someone whom I know will be rich in future because he is capable. I have that faith in you.
Your wife has been devoted and patient all this while. Love her with all your heart and she will be a very lucky girl. Be glad that you have found someone at this phase in your life who loves you this much. Our lives crossed paths with each other too early but memories are precious and I will cherish them. You are after all, my first love.
Take care. |
