I have always known A as my childhood best friend’s incredibly caring elder brother. And it is true that kindred spirits find each other, for J also shares many similar interests, and these two carry themselves with such grace.
J is very passionate about the environment and we’ve been blessed to have many conversations about it. I truly enjoyed sharing where flowers come from, balancing aesthetics between carbon footprints and the other by-products that come from flowering. We settled on a bouquet largely made from regional blooms that are trucked, not flown over. Tropical, but still gorgeous.
Here’s her beautiful fur baby Emmy making an entrance.
Coincidences after coincidences too added to the feeling that there was some higher power at work. We found out Eugene had shared an overseas posting with A's father some time ago, and I'd interned with J's brother at the sports desk of the national paper one summer.
Oh and the orchid pots from their hedges? Grandma insisted on bringing them back to Malacca, and so A's father dutifully carried them out of the sanctuary.
