A Hot Date

Went on a double date on Wed evening. Was a fun night…. Had dinner @ Brewerkz, drinks @ Attica II & One Night Stand.

The big accomplishment for the nite was throwing the whole list of our Wedding schedule & program to Mel, one of my sec sch buddies, who’s our emcee & also 1 of the sisters in my entourage. Since she said she’d never been an emcee before, I’ve already done my best in putting as much details as possible for her so that she’ll know when to appear & when not to. You should have taken a look at her… she seemed so stressed out & kept complaining that we’d given her a tough task. Anyway I’ve absolute confidence in her… what’s this to someone who had been interviewed by Channel News Asia before & also made countless presentations to the big boys out there? Ha!

The joke of the night: she made fun of me by saying I had to go on diet in order to fit into my gown & I retaliated by saying likewise for her too so as not to make the 1 foot high platform collapse. Hahaha!
But my honey better be careful… think she’s rather determined to take the opportunity to sabo us… hmmm… should we regret now?!

Actually our main intention for this meet-up was to intro another of my good friend to her. Gotta know TM 2 years ago through 1 of the cocktail functions I attended for work, thereafter we became great pals. Vince & I thought they could be just right for each other – the guy’s the VP of a GLC & she’s a GM in an MNC media company. Both are young & capable. At the end of the night, TM paid for the dinner (we asked to pay for ourselves & he only had to pay for Mel’s but he rejected) & in return Mel paid for the drinks as a gesture of appreciation. So my fiancé & I benefited! Hee! But we’ve decided to give Mel a treat after our wedding to thank her for the help. Will invite TM too for being such a dear friend.
After observing the whole night, we both thought they hit it off quite well but how come there’s no exchange of hp nos...

Instead I was being bombarded with questions from Mel… like, why didn’t I keep him for myself? Doesn’t he has any gf with his caliber… etc…
Well it’s a fact that Vince & I had just started (for less than a week) when I met him. He did express his liking a few times & all those around me who also knew him encouraged me to give him a chance. BUT the most important point - there's no 'chemistry' when being with him, unlike the kind of attraction, sparks & bond etc etc I felt with my then boyfriend, now fiancé. I see the great potential in Vince, give him the same no. of years in career as TM (he’s a few years older than me) & I’m sure my honey will be somewhere in the hierarchy too! But that’s not the most important, guess I’d followed my heart instead of my mind, even though I used to tell myself after the last r/s that I’ll find someone rich so that I wouldn’t have to worry about $$.

2 years later, I’m still totally happy with my decision! No regrets at all & we see our financial situation getting better & better. Now we’re counting down to our wedding & getting the keys to our home sweet home… And eventually Vince & TM have also become friends!
