mixed emotions

I don't know how to describe what this kind of day this is.

I received a wedding invitation from a colleague cum client of mine. He even posted a link for us to view his pre-wedding photos. The photos were great and some looked kinda grand, too. But, it coincide with a wedding lunch of another friend of mine. And these two weddings are far apart. Urgh, torn apart, which one should I attend? Jeez, maybe I'll need to shop again.

Just within the same hour after reading the invitation, I got a call from a friend who hasn't been in contact for some time. It was great to hear her voice after so long. But the news that she brought was really unexpected. A friend of ours, H, just passed away this morning. Her voice was choking with tears while she talking. Although I'm not very close with H but she had been very friendly and we had went on a short trip together before. I believe that this would certainly be a great blow to her family.

Are feelings permanent? The joy and the pain that we felt will always pass on, but as of when then that would be depending on the impact it had on us at that time. Life goes on no matter you are happy or sad.
