boys will be boys

Just putting these 3 words together would have anyone & almost everyone yell - “Yeah right.” A great one liner for aspiring stand-up comedians. Just uttering them would be one way to get shipped off to join Tom Hanks on his li’l Cast Away Island. What made the whole ordeal more challenging was gearing 20 guys up for it…a good, clean & fun Bachelor Party.

We achieved the impossible. Well, maybe the ‘clean’ part was compromised a li’l but we deserve a slot in the Malaysian Book of Records. Just reflecting on a friend’s Bachelor Party, Robin Hood & His Merry Men was on screen in my head.

The Bachelor's rendition of "It Ends Tonight"

Well, at least we know for a fact that this is friend’s straight - now that he’s a married man - A whole new chapter where he fits into the shoes of a husband, and one day … the cute baby Nike shoes for his kids.

I recall reading a li’l story on a couple that prayed & toiled day and night for their dream wedding. It was a blast – everything was according to plan & picture perfect. The newly weds praised God…and He replied “Great wedding! Now please invite me into your marriage.” A good reminder that it’s important to have Him in every area & detail of my life, not just the ones which are out of my reach.

Back to good, clean fun... we gotta stuff it into a time capsule - It's on the verge of extinction.

*this post is a tribute to the newly weds - Peng Hoe & Rosalind. Here's to 7 new pairs of toddler shoes & 7 minutes of silence. Cheers.
