A sporadic friend unexpectedly disconnects again. Weeks later, I get an apologetic message from her saying she has secretly flown to Singapore to try her luck. Armed with only her laptop and a decade of developmental work experience, I am certain she will be able to fend for herself. Well she should be, her best friend lives there.

3 months ago, a friend inconspicuously became a father. The text message “Sorry sa surprise” awoke me from dreamland. It was both a happy and astounding news for us friends. How he never told a soul, I presume prudence was the name of the game. Why talk when nobody asks? 3 days ago, he has already gone off to the capital with his look-alike daughter to join his new wife and start a new life – that of temporarily becoming a full-time father and husband!

Over lunch yesterday, a friend has opened up about her ongoing annulment case. She seemed fine. She’s already friends with her ex and thankfully, their daughter has quite some EQ as well. The little girl said it’s okay for her mom to look for a new boyfriend, but only after the annulment gets done. Cool.

Last night, a friend confided to us that hopefully by next year, when her husband’s overseas contract becomes stable, she and their 2 kids might join him in the Middle East for even just a year, or just before the kids start school. The thought excites her. She looks forward to the moment of time that her hardworking husband would also be able to experience firsthand their young children’s early growing years. Oh how sweet.

On Monday, I will be witnessing an intimate wedding of another friend who had been ecstatic of marching down the aisle, probably even before she could learn how to walk. I am truly happy for her for she has finally found the man who has dreamt of her to become his bride. May they live happily ever after.

I have yet to find my own ending, too. Wish it’ll be happy, as endings are beginnings of beautiful things. Ew.
