So in honor of life, I give to you,
the visual diary of blah

About Me

I like the smell of earth, the touch of waves,
the taste of berries, the sight of trees,
the sound of laughter, and the feeling of being fully alive.

There comes a time in everyone's life when they meet their soul mate, the person that's going to love and accept them for the rest of their lives, the one person who is unlike any other. The moment came for Cheryl 17 years ago, when she met me. (Sorry Yan Hao!)

For those of you who don't know me, I am Jessica, Cheryl's unbiological sister and Yan Hao's next block neighbour. I met Cheryl when we were 11 and have stuck together ever since. Growing up together, I've learnt that Cheryl is different. She is a sensitive soul who doesn't have it easy in this world. Despite this, she has never put her heart in a concrete bunker or lose the ability to love - and this itself, is pretty amazing. Cheryl is a compassionate person, she believes in the good, in forgiveness, generosity and acceptance. Around her, I can be myself - unapologetically. Many would describe Cheryl as skinny, but to me, her big heart makes up for the lack in body weight. Cheryl is a beautiful person inside out and I can honestly say that I don't know where I'll be without her. She is the sister I never had (and I have 2). I may not say this enough, but thank you for being all that you are and putting up with a nutcase like me. It is a privilege to have you in my life.

When Yan Hao came into Cheryl's life, he only amplify it. I can't say how he was like before getting together with Cheryl, but as for Cheryl, I've seen her grow in the relationship. She became more confident, grounded and happier. It is impossible to not see the love, respect and genuine friendship between them. And Yan Hao, although my best friend has abandon me permanently for domestic bliss, I couldn't be happier because it is with you. I just want to say thank you for treating her so well, you truly are a gentleman.

According to some maid of honour speech template I found online, now is the part where I should tell some embarrassing stories of the bride, but after careful consideration, I realise that Cheryl has a lot more dirt on me than I have of her, so we'll skip this part.

I was gonna give you guys some marital advice but I've only been married for 2 months so I am not the expert in this. What I do know, is that God brought you both together for a purpose. Love is powerful, it is the virtue that holds all others together. In this world of uncertainty, know that He gave you each other to weather the storms as a team.

They say "happy wife, happy life", some of my suggestions for you Yan Hao, is to keep Cheryl well fed, periodically bring her on holiday - she does like that, and the single most important advice I can offer you is if Cheryl wants your opinion, she just wants you to tell her she's right.

I am so happy for you guys and I wish you both everlasting happiness.
