I will be here..

Been such a long time since i last blogged!
At the moment, i'm really missing Seoul, and more importantly, Mina dearest and her family who have been so incredibly generous and kind to me during my short stay in Seoul.

"Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear... I will be here.."

It's from Mina's friends who dedicated the song to the newly weds.

It's true isn't it, what we are all hoping for, looking for is something so simple, just for that special someone to be here for us. Often, all the rest doesn't really matter quite so much, we don't need him / her to be here all the time, only to be there for us when it really matters and we're just looking for a second opinion or really just a shoulder to lean on to ensure us things are going to be ok. Sometimes, despite the assurance we long to make, we can't guarantee anything but hey, it's about taking each step of the journey together no matter what. That's what matters. So i say it's lasting the distance, rather than guaranteeing all the sweetest moments or that everything will really be ok. Who knows?

I really like the idea of making a speech or dedicating a song at weddings. it's really sweet and it really is a great way to express how much a friend means to you. i went to the wedding .. some people wonder about that, going all the way from Sg to Korea? but you know what.. it was really worthwhile. i had a great time and i am really happy to see Mina happily married :) It's been 3 years since i last saw her and that's simply too long. NOw, i wonder when i'll see her again.
staying with her family, i can really begin to understand how parents must feel when they send a daughter off to be wed. It's a very warm happy feeling and yet, heart wrenching at the same time.
I'd really have done anything to understand her dad's speech... all in korean of course... at the wedding! For one who doesn't really speak much, it's so precious and meaningful just listening to him and holding on to his words of wisdom :)
