Last Sunday/Monday, 7th Dec - 8th Dec 2008, was a fantastic and magnificant day for the couple. In a relationship lasting 9 yrs, they finalling tie the knot at raffles hotel.
No mixed feelings at all, it was a busy but yet fulfilling day being a brother for one of my very good friends.
Oh wait, there is one thing worth mentioning about Alvin after all. Throughout the whole wedding preparation to actual day's event, I have been hearing some unhappiness from people around him, saying, he has not done enough for Shujing, and esp in wedding preparations, many things were left to her alone.
I cannot speak up for him on that, and I dun really know the details to start defending Alvin etc. But you have to agree something about Alvin is his patience and attitude towards the people around him. Have you ever seen him flare up or throw a tantram? Has he ever shouted or even show unhappiness? NEVER!!!
I wouldn't say I meet him often enough these years and I didn't spend 3 yr with him in Australia. but indeed he has never blown his temper. Every injustice he suffered, he would just keep quiet with a smile. Especially during days when we were in poly, the 4 of us always move around together, 2 x Alvin, lb and myself. We often had quarrels and things we dun seem to agree on, all of us had a taste of each others' temper, but never had I felt it from Alvin.
My point is, dun always judge a person by the things he did correct or wrong, judge from his attitude and behaviour at extreme moments. Haha, perhaps tat's the same logic as from army when they whack the trainee damn jialat before examining their ability to handle situations etc.
