BEST Saturday of 2011, i'd say. Wasn't looking very forward to it at first, i'd say.. cus i thought staying at nei's partay would be so awkward.. and i wasnt very prepared. So, woke up very bad tempered yesterday morning. cus i only had 5 hours of sleep? and we headed to the church for shimin[my cousin] and justin's wedding. only me, gerald and lorraine went for the church wedding. at first, i became really a lot better after seeing all my relatives there. and then, when the ceremony began (and of course, after alot of preaching), the moment i saw shimin walked down the aisle in that white wedding dress with her arms wrapped around uncle's arms.. omg. my heart did a little somersault. that girl there, 24 years old, the first person from OUR generation to get married.. is my cousin. my cousin is getting married. she has found the one guy who would love her, cherish her, take care of her forever.. omg. just 10 years ago, i was at her dad's goldsmith shop playing catching and masak masak with the 3 sisters. and since the closure of the goldsmith's shop, we never talked until great grandma's funeral. and we started comunicating and she is GETTING MARRIED? omg! so unreal you know?! seeing how she's going to be a mother in the future etc... cus when i see her and her sisters and in fact, people of my generation, our cousins, i always see them as my playmates.. as children. not adults. and suddenly, we are there at the church.. seeing her dad cry as he gave her away and she crying and everyone else just overwhelmed with joy and romance. hahah. sigh. i still can't believe thats shimin, in that gorgeous big and white dress.. looking soo pretty! :D the guy seems very decent, i hope they'd last. :D
random personal thought: hmmm, i used to tell people that i can't really see myself in a wedding dress.. but when i saw shimin's wedding, i feel even more that i cannot see myself exchanging vows and rings with a man, A PROPER MALE HUMAN SPECIMEN who is capable of being faithful to me, loving me FOR WHO I AM, so much so he just wants to incmergelude me into his life BIG TIME. Like part of the ceremony, they had to each hold their own candles and light up the middle one and extinguishing each of the own candles, symbolising how 2 different lives can merge as 1. And marriage (is supposedly) like the candle light which can never be seperated. how, will i be able to merge my life with another man? would any man wanna do that WITH ME? the not pretty, cant talk properly, full of nonsense shirley lim? hmm.
after the church wedding, we headed for the reception. saw more relatives and mingled around. finally talked to candice, my cousin whom i used to play with also but never spoke to for 10 years, i suppose? wow. such lovely family gathering!
so, after the church wedding, i went home, packed my stuff, showered and watched abit of tv before leaving house to nei's chalet. lol! first person i saw was seto, blowing balloons. lol! so spent 2 hours helping to blow balloons, pasted random decorations, putting up the banner, making random decoration things with sher er, nei's younger sis. lol. kept talking about o levels and stuff. then more people came and helped out. his mum is still as funny as ever! then after that, did hair and makeup, threw on my dress, left my barang in the chalet and i left for the wedding dinner at yishun. lol! [so funny cus i went to nei's hometown and he came to mine].
the wedding dinner was awesome! as usual, uncle jerry never fails to make anyone laugh! :D daddy and uncle jerry are always the highlight of any social events. takes them almost an hour just to finish mingling with the relatives. :D then cam-whored alot with lorraine and some other cousins also. saw the video montage of them and wow, suddenly, im all for believing in true love again. but nah.. still highly skeptical. got very high, especially after 3 glasses of red wine. then started talking nonsense and yum-seng-ing the loudest! hahhaha! so happy for them! for the first time, we were actually asked to go on stage to host the yum-seng thing also, but we're too shy. teehee. lol! very happy to see my relatives lor. it was worth the rushingly hectic schedule.
after the wedding dinner, i went back to the chalet. went in with anita. cake has been cut, present has been given. and they were mahjong-ing. lol. saw Sherrie [nei's elder sis] and her friend ting hui. lol. got super high. lol!! then went up to change. me and anita were thinking about what to do? should we hide in the room? should we draw? lol! then i decided to head down to change first and saw sher er playing mahjong and she needed help. so went to see see and she asked me to take her place! lol! so called anita down and we started playing mahjong with his relatives. lol! after that, the relatives left and we youngsters took the table. then ting hui brought out... VODKA! lol!! damn fucking drunk and high. i drank till i had rashes though D: bad. first time i drank until i feel my heart pump so fast and the blood just rushed through my head and i felt sooooo light headed i couldnt play mahjong. lol!!! shioook! heeee!!! then after that, everyone got too drunk to play. so we decided to cam whore with the banner. LOL! after that, v tired but me, sherrie and nei didnt plan to sleep. so nei went to play mj with his cca friends while i did abit of drawing for adeline khng. then, at about 6am, anita and tinghui slept alr.. so me and sherrie headed to the beach. then we saw the stars and decided it was too good to be missed. so headed back, took a garbage bag and laid it on the cold sand while we just sat and chatted about.. things. then we caught the sunrise and walao, seriously, sherrie is one of the most funniest, most enthusiastic people i know. AWESOME! need to hang out with people like her more to absorb the positivity!! hahahha!
yeah. then i headed back and was toooooo tired. i slept for an hour and woke up to attend to the catering man who came to collect the trays. was so tired that i just stared into space. then waited for nei's dad to come and check us out. cabbed back with anita. lol! SIGH! the fun is over and its going to be monday...tiring but very very satisfying. :D especially seeing so many people enjoy and knowing i contributed a lot to this.. :D but..
