Of weddings and such

Attended 2 weddings recently, one of which I regretted going to because I was there as a '+1' i.e. not my circle of friends and the food sucked. [the cocktails kept me alive, thank God!]  slipped out of it as soon as they announced the start of games... gasp! to me those are games we are forced to participate in during corporate team-building events, you know those HR things where they herd us somewhere and make us say hi to the IT guy seated in the corner and ask each other's favorite colors, that sort of thing? shudder.  i will mingle when i feel like mingling, thank you.  The couple seemed nice enough, best wishes to you both.  warning: to those reading this post and happen to know which wedding reception i'm talking about, do not repeat this to the couple. i repeat, do not repeat this to the couple!

The second wedding was a lot more pleasant, the first reason being we both know the bride and she looked happy, radiant and beautiful [as always], secondly it was a very casual, laid back ceremony with a humorous pastor and his awesome mandarin translator side-kick [who i slow-clapped for in my head] and lastly the catering was quality, 'nuff said. Congratulations again to the couple with your gummy smiles and we wish you lots of happy and sweet memories as you start your journey together as man and wife.

Oh, at each wedding, the inevitable question someone will ask is "so when did you guys get married?"  Our reply almost always end up in some surprise and the usual "woah, so long?" response. you can see it in their eyes, they're doing some mental sums in their head taking 2014 minus 9 years and trying to work out at what age we got married and what they were doing in 2005. yes, 2005! in 2005 we got married and it's been awesome.  thanks hubs.

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. (*_*)
