As age catches up with you, have you ever missed a part of your younger days and have a sense of nostalgia when you think back bout them? Well, for me, I have a contradictory feeling. While I rejoice in moving over to Sweden and having alot more quality hubby-wifey time with jw and have a place we call home, sometimes on Friday or Sat nights, I still miss the feeling of dressing and dolling up and going for the usual clubbing sessions. Esp all the themed parties! From Denim Diva to Head over Heels to Bling Bling nites, those were a fun part of my memories shared with family and friends.
I guess most, if not all, girls like to doll up at least once in awhile right? It helps to boost the self esteem somehow and makes you feel on top of the world when you look good. I wonder if guys understand that. Haha. For jw, he likes to wear casual t-shirts and jeans, much more than button-up shirts and pants. The only vain thing he does is maybe put on nice smelling cologne when we go out. But you know what, he still looks good. Haha. Some people are just born with it, I guess, that X-factor.
Judging from how much we would party and drink last time, we have probably cut it down to not even 10% now. For me, it's to ZERO because I can't drink at all now. Which is a good thing, right? And calls for celebration. I mean, I can picture our livers jumping for joy and the hole in our pockets slowly getting stitched up from over spending on booze.
But I know some part of jw still misses the party life somehow. Because I feel the same way. (That's why we are hubby and wifey!) But life moves on, and there comes a time when family takes priority over everything. Sure, we both said we will strive to become happening Mum and Dad and continue to indulge in harmless partying fun once in awhile. But the feeling is never going to be the same as before, I guess. We used to be carefree, unwedded, young and energetic. Now we are more mature, we have commitments, and of coz we are older and more easily tired. Haha. And starting next month, jw and I can't even pop by to Fox and Anchor or Nivö together for a drink or some dancing at night, because we will wanna be home with Baby Angel!! It's really gonna be a big change in mindset and lifestyle.
It was a norm to party till 6am at St James on Friday or Saturday and then head to Simpang Bedok for yummy prata. Our bodies could take it! Waha. Now I feel so doubtful if I can. I also feel doubtful if I can take as many flaming lambos as I used to. Everything deteriorates with age and lack of practice, right? Jw's jiu liang confirmed became lousier these few years than he was when I first knew him. (oooops, dear) Waha. But he was one of the top notch in uni days and although he's not as good now, he still can beat many people hands down. Right right? (*phew*)
I kinda miss those days with the girls. And deep down I also feel that although we may never quit partying completely, things are going to be different when I get back to S'pore. We may hang out for wine and champagne at quiet pubs and bars more than indulging in the crowds and loud music at St James. We may organise nice pot lucks at each other's houses and drink some beer instead of checking out the new club down the street. Hmmm. That actually sounds quite inviting somehow. Progressing to a healthier lifestyle! Waha.
Actually no matter what changes, if friendship doesn't, everything will always be as beautiful. Afterall, clubbing sessions don't mean a thing if not for the company, right? Both jw and I have been blessed with getting acquainted with a bunch of nice friends in S'pore, so we should be thankful for that.
That being said, dear, I most of all miss partying with you! Yeah yeah. You and me, our JS nites remember? I know you prefer many people together instead of just us, but there's a special feeling when it's only you vs me in the game playing and alcohol drinking. So, what say you, IF when our kids grow up next time, before we need to use walking sticks, we still head out for a JS nite once in awhile? Keke. =p
