My youngest brother got married yesterday. It was a long day and everyone in the family was busy helping in one way or another.

Mom had been preparing for this day.. Buying gold, getting the necessary stuffs, preparing food and cleaning up the house. She must have been really tired and yet excited.

I drove my parents to bro's new house at Punggol and upon entering, I was immediately impressed and filled with envy. The whole place look so contemporary, classy and cozy. I will love to stay in a place like that.

Brother came back with his wife and we started the tea ceremony followed by heading back to our house to pay respect to ancestors. Time flies and soon it was time for solemnization at a very classy and cozy small little event room in Raffles Town Club.

Everyone was seated initially but we were asked by emcee to stand. Smoke were produced, doors were open and the pretty bride was led into the room by her dad. Brother look so happy and I felt so happy for him too. Mom was the witness and after the vows, kisses and rings were exchanged followed by loads of applause. Marriage certificate was given and everyone was told to proceed to dinner ballroom.

Reception area was getting more and more crowded. Everyone was congratulating brother and his wife. I was not spared the usual questions. I just act busy as I was tasked to be the usher. Deep inside, I was just hoping for the reception to be over as fast as possible.

Dinner march-in was again another touching scene. I felt so happy and yet envy. I wish I can experience this one day too but I guess that will never happen. As I watched my brother marched past me, I did a silent prayer, for him to be happy forever. For a couple of seconds, I felt lonely but my happiness for brother soon overwrote everything.


I'm sure mom was super happy to see her son on the stage. After over 30 years, she finally get to see one of her son married. Mom was so pretty yesterday, I took several photos of her and with her. I hope she will one day forgive me for not able to live up to her expectations of seeing me married.

My youngest brother has indeed grown up. He have started his family with his wife and cozy little house.

May happiness be with you forever bro.
That's really my deepest and most sincere wish for you.
