Wedding Bells, They Toll For Thou.

October 21, 2008

My darling sis, Sabrina got married yesterday. The preps were long and tiring but it was really fun. The tea ceremony, the haggling over the Bride’s Price and the atmosphere was really exciting.

We sent them to the R.O.M and the solemnisation ceremony, supposely serious, was turned casual by the banter we made in the room.

Just imagine 13 cousins, both parents and a videographer overlooking the entire thing. Stifled giggles aside – the bride and groom were also jibing each other as the process was carried out. After the entire thing we took group photos and left the girls to take photos along Fort Canning’s idyllic scenery.

Rustin and I left for Taka’s Zara to collect my blazer from Pei Yi and along the way we spotted this huge dried cherry. Courtesy of National Museum of Singapore! Quite nice 🙂

We got the blazer and had some light food before dozing off infront of Zara, waiting for Pei Yi to end work.The lady came out in her dress that matched so well with my shirt that we actually got some stares! LOL!

The wedding dinner was a more sombre affair. The mad hectic seating of guests, ushering and greeting all my relatives and introducing Pei Yi to them all…its the usual of wad you’d expect as the family of the Bride.

Pei Yi got to noe almost everyone but I dun expect her to recognise them all….this will be settled in time to come. Meanwhile the whole event turned out fine except for some small hiccups in the seating arrangement.Sabrina’s temper was tested but other den a black face when other’s weren’t looking…she was pretty happy throughout the night. The night ended with pictures pictures and MORE PICTURES…omg!

—————————————————-

The morning after was a funny one. Everyone woke with battered bodies, strained out from the day before. My sis and husband returned home to get some stuff, only to be chided by me, becoz its customary that the bride is not allowed home for the 1st 3 days.

Pei Yi had to work full shift and started to get restless over the renting of a new place to stay. The lady wants me to move out with her but considering I have a room myself, its kinda redundant to spend that kinda money? Hopefully I can convince my mum to rent out Sab’s room to her temporily.

I’m hurting from every joint in my body, but better after popping 2 panadols. Totally strung out of money ever since the wedding day…I’m pretty unsure how to spend my 1 week off and survive till payday.

My mum’s 1st reaction after waking up – was to call my sis. Asking her to remember to serve tea to her parents-in-law was actually a dud…becoz her mum-in-law had left for work and the father-in-law wasn’t even up yet. Hey Hey~ customaries aside…we are all human k? Let us sleep somemore la~ 😛

100% Ache.

October 10, 2008

Damnit…my whole body is aching from an unknown illness.

At 1st I thought it was just muscle strain from the recent IPT session….but the pain and ache didn’t go away and it only brought on my migraine. I barely managed to go to JB with Pei Yi before it finally took me out. Now I’m home, medicated and unable to stand nor sit for very long. Grrrr~

The both of us have been communicating and getting to know each other more and more…I tink its time she got to know everyone. For the people whom been feeling left out or haven’t been able to pop into me (unlike ppl like Ron ), I tink I will finally be able to bring my new gf to face you all. My dear Ber should be happier since she’s been pretty unhappy recently and Cheryl who’s been hiding behind her desk will get to see the person who holds my heartstrings 🙂

As for the guys…I tink a Ice Cold Session will suffice – ain’t it always the case? lol!

I’ll set the outing for somewhere between 20th Oct (Ber bday if you guys dunno/ and also my sis wedding ) and 27th Oct. This is my leave period.

She knows the past and gratefully so;

I have nothing to hide and won’t do so.

Little gripes of jealousy thus expect;

But nothing in the long term for her heart to suspect.

No Replacement.

October 7, 2008

The recent days have been liberating. Although she often complains that I keep mentioning Ber in front of her…Ber however is upset that I’m not spending time with her…at least thats how I feel.

Despite the only resemblence being the hairstyle and that both girls are fair skinned…my dear girl tinks that I’m trying to use her as a replacement to forget Ber. Its coming almost impossible to try to convince her otherwise so I’ve stopped trying. Maybe actions will speak louder den words.

Ber on the other hand…I would love to meet. I’ve told her about this month’s impossible schedule and the IPT appointments I’ve to keep…and the only spare time I’ve got is duly given to my gf. I did try a few times to meet Ber after work…but the timing dun seem to match most of the time…

Even though she doesn’t read my blog or probably never will…I hope one day she’ll come to realise…

There Is No Replacement For You.

The Neverending Book.

October 3, 2008

I’ve become involved with the book on many levels.

At certain points we have become one,

yet again at times we just keep on learning more about each other.

Our communication method is pretty good – nice and straightforward and I truly hope it stays this way.

This is one book I hope I take forever to finish reading.

or maybe I’ll never finish reading it.

—————————————–

Pei Yi knows Val. Amazing huh~? But not on a personal level….its just that she see her often on the train with her new bf. Its such a small world. 😀

Well…its a relief that she already accustomed to my ex-gfs…but den again we guys never really know wad women are tinking about. Do we? 🙂
