The Opera Populaire

I had wanted to blog about something sombre, but just checked my email to find a wonderful news: my fren from Canada, Jackson, had gotten married!!!! The photos are beautifully shot and most importantly, the bride and groom look blissful. Indeed, he who finds a wife finds a good thing.

Looking at the photos, you would never guess it took place in a city like Montreal. Almost all of the people inside are Chinese! Even the decorative words inside the church was in Chinese. Hmm...besides being one brother-in-Christ I truly admire, Jackson also has the loveliest Chinese handwriting I have ever seen. It really made me wonder and want to see first-hand about the Chinese immigrant population in Canada, especially as I have relatives in the US that I haven't seen in ages.

We meet a lot of people in life. Not many stay on, and it is especially so with overseas frens. Felt a bit embarrassed whenever my frens from Indonesia email me to say they haven't heard from me for some time and now I try to make it a point to email them at intervals. I admit to not doing my part about my Hong Kong pen pal, Sandy, but am hoping to meet her when I go there in Dec, after all these years. Perhaps I may meet up with Jackson and another friend, Bonnie (who, coincidentally, is Jackson's fren whom I met at US Media class!) should I go to Canada next year.
