hello!
well...i havent been writing eh? I guess it's coz of the wet season, that somehow, I am BOUND to get sick..considering how I am so so so vulnerable to the rain. I just can't get caught in the rain no matter how short the distance I had to walk or run in it. so yeah....I am also sleep deprived which could also be one of the reasons why I am so tired even before 11 pm plus...or let alone 10 pm plus..I used to stay up late till 3.30 till 4 am and I guess my body is doing this cruel joke on me now..after I played the cruel joke on it. And u know what? I didnt know how strong the medicine the doctor gave me when I was sick in september when I took it this time since now then I had the fever compared to the previous time. I took two pills, as indicated, in one minute flat, I was groggy and had to sleep. It was that powerful. And this is even faster than falling asleep to a boring talk or lecture. And the next day, I was actuallie okay....until of course evening was approaching, and I had to get caught in the rain..again! See..all this time I bring an umbrella wherever I go especially when I am working but i left it at my office (dunno why..) and forgot to bring the keys to my table (dunno why again...) and when I came out of the civil service college after a talk..it rained...heavily. Yes, so poor ol' me was sick yet again..coz u see, how big a coverage can a small umbrella give ya if I am sharing it with a skinny person. You got it!
And so that is my sorry and pathetic excuse for not writing..heh. Anyway, just to let u know, the previous Wednesday, I attended a small gathering of friends and close relatives for a wedding. It was a very small and very simple wedding affair but the important thing was, they got to exchange their vows and became officially man and wife...on that very day..I mean night. Yeah..all this bliss....even though I tot they could do better decorating the plastic chairs or something or covering up the table with a nice embroidered table cloth. Sorrie! Can't help noticing..I mean simple is one thing..but ah...ambience is another thing. Anyway it's okay...I guess I forgot the important point too..hahah..
And I also met up with some of my other friends also..and I had a ride in natasha's car! woohoo! At first I was quite NOT willing to go lah considering how far this place could be. Far is one thing...inaccessible is another. But natasha, in the last minute, considered driving....and wanted to go along with her, and so yup! I guess I tot I would go..considering precilla, despite not turning up for our gatherings as often as before, did make an effort to come for my bdae celebrations and our other friends' important events like their engagement.
Anyway, you wouldn't believe how we actually got lost around the same area when natasha started to get confused with a myriad of directions given by her friends at the backseat. She had it under control all the while..until her friends, who supposedly knew the directions better than her after being there before...tot Nats got it all wrong when all she could do was turn right after that. My father brought us to that place before previously when we had a car...so I roughly knew where Changi Village is..but I didn't know that the place where the wedding reception was held was nearby Changi Village. So I tot they knew better..which in the end, they didnt lah. And we had a 'fantastic' time going in merry go rounds onlie to be back in the same place..where..u guessed it!...she could have just turned right.
Anyway, I didn't blame them lah...since it is not everyday we go to this changi vilage..but they did sound a tad bit overconfident..hahaha...Okay, as if I am any better either, i was holding a map all the while too and I didn't look at it. Well..backdated was one thing lah..it was in year 2000 edition?! But anyway, aznur grabbed hold of it..and when we tot we were lost..again....she somehow recognised the landmarks in the map with the ones that we passed by...so nats had to u turn again..and by this time she was really agitated....and okay..we did get lost quite a bit again..since the place hardly have any landmarks..The onlie marking that the hostess informed us about was a balloon. How helpful was that. We ended up with the first chalet-like house...but it definitely wasn't the one coz it looked empty. And we were thinking if we should just go straight into that dark lane or move out and then keep on searching. Then we got a surprise coz we saw two of our friends who walked in...and they too didn't know where. BUt unfortunately, since we're quite full..we couldn't squeeze them in..
Oh and guess what again...we finally found it..and what was more 'brain-consuming' was when we could have just drove through that dark lane coz their chalet was just beside theirs. Anyway, was so glad we made it on time and nats was so sick of driving she just parked her car nonchalantly which later became a prob when people wanted to drive out..haha...
And we were in time for the wedding reception..phew...lewis the groom greeted us..he was such a nice guy! I had to say that coz he said I am pretty..ahem! So the rest of our friends were there before us alreadi...and we told them our ordeal just now. I watched for the first time, a solemnization taking place before our very eyes...precilla was looking splendid in her white simple gown...And lewis? Of coz Lewis looked all gorgeous in his tuxedo...hahahaha...
I was embarassed to bits when it was time to 'throw the flower'! It is a tradition that whoever caught that flower bouquet, her wedding will be next in the pipe line. I didn't wanna go there coz I really didn't want to be caught as one of the singles..hehe..and flower catching would be the next embarassing thing. But natasha was so 'on'....and so 'on' was she when precilla threw the bouquet...the other girls either didn't bothered or stepped back..while nats took effort in catching it. Way to go nats! Of coz..nats..being single and still available...it became...me and sherry's task in finding the potential groom for nats among the male guests. I mean she made things difficult by refusing to marry azam..
So then dinner came on.....and I got to know a bit of annie's boyfriend! Aw........I think this guy seems more suited for her.....haha..so bad of me to look at the physical aspects onlie. But u know..he was so sweet! When the chef was preparing to make some burritos, he was the first one there to grab hold of it when the meat was still crispy and succulent as she just finished grilling it. And yeah...he was quiet too...but I give him the benefit of doubt since it was the first time that he met us. But hey....he looked awfully familiar.....
But sherry's boyfriend was sweet too! He took drinks for me like three times! Awww..............why can't I have a boyfriend like theirS?! Anyway..that's besides the point. Sherry noticed that whenever he asked if we wanted drinks...I would always give him a half empty cup....and I'd say...since he wanted to get us some refills.....might as well jump on it!..hahaha...BUt he was quiet too lah that nite..hey, why must u all be shy with me? Was i too noisy that nite?! hrmph....
And aznur got a new fon...it was an O2...the pda cum fon..but it looked more like a pda than fon. I asked her a few qns on it coz the other time, angie got it, I didn't get to ask much about it. I am always curious about gadgets. But she didn't let me use as a demo like i just wanted to put it near my ear and see how big it is..not as I was gonna call. SHe kept saying 'no' which gave her some curious eyes lah since it sounded a bit mean..haha..but narh, she was just joking around as she was scrolling thru the fon to find pictures of that jon cena guy...some bodybuilder or wrestler cum singer. I still couldn't believe the 'singer' part..and yes, I have never heard of him.
It started to pour just as I was struggling to finish the last bits of my food. Gawd..I was so slow..that is so unusual of me! I mean considering that it was just a week after the end of the fasting month...and I did fast for the whole freakin' month.
So everyone wanted to get back home fast..and Annie and her boyfriend, Ben, left earlier..Siti and her fiancee wanted to go first too. I guess nats bothering them to find out the exact date they are gettin married finally drove them away too..haha..And then followed by sherry, azam and her boyfriend. They made their move second right before it started to pour heavily. Sherry called me back saying that she was sorry she left in a jiffy...and forgot to say goodbye. And so I said goodbye to her, and then to azam..although it took a while to convince azam later that me wanting to say goodbye to Noah, sherry's boyfriend, didnt mean I was dumping him..haha..
Actuallie, me and aznur along with Nat's friends wanted to off too but Nats was nowhere to be found. I guess Preci was closer to her than the rest of us so we'd figured that maybe Nats just wanted to spend a bit of time with her. Of coz..until we found out she was asking everybody how to go back out without getting lost..that we were like..u could have asked us and plan the routes together!..hahaha...and it was till then, we were like...argh! where's nats!...then just as nats was planning to drive us back, that Preci asked her if she could send her mum out for a cab and nats went out first. It could have taken awhile but it didnt lah so we'd figured that perhaps, she waited till Preci's mum got a cab first before she drove back in. But while waiting, I got to know Nat's friends a little bit and we were joking around too. And yeah...had a feast looking at Lewis's male friends who were Chinese and see how they were messing around with their laptops as they were busie uploading the pics and making it look like some slideshow with music.
Awww...u know what? They chose Greenday as the theme song..'Wake me up! When September ends!...'But I got bored after while looking at them..I mean..the pics..that I was just contented sitting inside the living room. ANyway, one of them, who was like the official photographer too, he was friendly too and he was commenting to his friends that they were using the television to play games while me and our other friends, were watching some drama serial..haha..Yeah, he seemed nice..and nope! I know what u're thinking!...I have no interest in him. I can't help it..as what I told my other friend..the last guy I met..he did set a high standard!...
Okay..so nats was back and she drove us back out. And guess what...we didn't get lost this time, and nats was like thinking, hey we should have gone by this route instead. Okay..whateva! Anyway, it was still sweet of her to drive us back to nearby mrt stations, and for me, nearby bus stop coz my house was somewhere along the route to ang mo kio, where they were heading next.
I had a great time..not so much so in terms of the wedding, as I didn't get to talk to preci that much either..but Lewis was nice..he talked to us and took pics with us too. But the rest of the gang? They were great and sherry was great too...and noah, so sorrie it seemed like I bullied u for taking the drinks and the burritos...haha..but hey, u volunteered, remember? Anyway, I had some of the pics courtesy of Nats of that event.
aren't they sweet?

The rest of the gang..! That's me in pink! Swell....
