Of course great friends will definitely make aging a lot more easier...

But the context of this posting was more focused on finding that particular someone to love for the rest of my life...

And to many many many many more years to come! Can't wait for AM to give birth, then call us god-uncle... LOL... that's if her husband-to-be allows lah... ahaha...
