I dedicate this post to Mr and Mrs Yip

On their wedding night, i just realise i could have said something nice about the both of them since i have the privilege of knowing both of them pretty well.
The first time i got to know Selina was during youth camp 1995. She was in my group and i was the leader with Jess my A.L (All of this sounds so juvenile on hindsight) She was quiet and demure on first impression, notice the use of past tense "was". Hmmm... come think of it, most of the church girls i know "were" quiet and demure when i first knew them. All a bloody facade i say! Kudos to those who don't hide their true self, like Brucellina for example, she never hides her love for Bruce Lee and wants to be called Brucellina, nice name i say.(Disclaimer: This is the view of the altered ego of the writer and does not represent his view when he is conscious.)
After that youth camp, we went on to the same Bible study group, cell group and even music ministry. Thats how i got to know her true self, i mean real self.... her faithfulness is really commendable.
I remember seeing Jeremy in church sometimes after service. There was this period he had this ridiculous skin head, I was wondering if he was a fan of Hitler or he must have a not so healthy diet of American History X and other Nazis related stuff.
Our first real encounter was at a basket ball court in Toa payoh. I manage to single handledly win his team in football. A painful past he tries to forget. Guess i played a part in awakening his football genes. Now his skills has improved tremendously (All thanks to me!) and he is the proud captain of F.U. (Repeat after me and say it with gusto: F.... U.....!) It stands for Faith United for those who don't know.
All in all, I just want to say that i am truly happy to see the both of you get hitched, it is truly a joy to see that u guys seem so very happy together, and through it all, i know you are both a very good match together. May u guys make beautiful babies together too. Remember, it is not just the destination, it is the process and journey that really matters.
Thanks for being a part of my life.
