My Friend's Wedding Dinner

Just returned from my colleague/long-time-friend's wedding at marriot. she looked very pretty, all grown up in her wedding gowns... saw so many of those ppl whom i'd worked with too.. haha they're the same happy bunch. sad to say, dinner at wedding dinners are seldom good. the best i've had so far was at sheraton towers. tonight's dishes were a little below par.

looking forward to planning for our own wedding. should be pretty simple. prob a long trained gown for the wedding rite, then a shorter gown for the reception. we're not planning a chinese dinner, so 100 times less hassle. just need:-
  1. photographer/videographer
  2. caterer
  3. gowns/suit
  4. make-up and hair

That's it. that's all. shouldn't be that difficult right? of course will need some help ushering and coordinating the thingie. but not that bad right?

was looking at some of the photographers. avenue 8 (www.avenue8.com.sg) seems the most promising. will check that out soon. was thinking of getting either get d'fia or utopia to do the photo shoot but they are quite expensive. i want a guy who can take bnw effortlessly. that way his colour photos won't have an issue. no posed photos pls. some natural shots (i guess it can't be all that natural)... in natural sunlight. none of that posed in front of some backdrop thingie thank you very much. i must say friend's taste in photography is quite similar to mine. will check out satine as well.

as for gowns, i want simple and nice lines. no idea who's good yet. but no need anything over the top. but i guess ott is the default here so i've gotta pay more for something simple looking?? doesn't make sense.

found my caterer - www.purplesage.com.sg they did a really good job at SMOTA. they're THE ONE. ok enuff talk about the wedding prep. gotta go kooonz for a black monday.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
