Hear the wedding bells ring
Just came back from the wedding of my uncle and dang, I feel so tired! Since I promised myself to blog more, I have to complete this post today, if not I'll probably never start at all! (look @ the korea trip post and you know what I mean heh)Hear the wedding bells ring
We call my uncle AH BOY jiujiu cos he has a fraternal twin whom we call AH GIRL yiyi. Funnyaye, but it's just so convenient these days that I haven't changed the way I called them!
My bro wants to post the pictures on facebook but I don't want them there so I gave him the pix to upload -.- I guess I've reached a stage where privacy is really valued, to the extent where I have gone through my friends list at least twice to delete those who I have no idea who they are.
Weddings....
I was a cynic and I shall still remain one. Don't see the point in weddings cos they are so freaking ex and tiring. Though wedding gowns look really pretty!
I just feel happy I guess :) Dang, my thoughts are kinda incoherent now. and blogger is taking a long time to upload the pix.
Had to walk around in heels and my feet died. Kinda hate smiling at almost everyone cos I feel really patronizing, although I know I ought to do that out of pure courtesy. And the same old chat will resurface: "Ohmy, you are so tall!"
"It's really true that girls become prettier when they grow older!"
(HURHUR, I think I didn't change much except put on more weight. And ohwell, perhaps my flaws were hidden behind the thick swat of concealer and bbcream I spammed this morning. And thank god for the recent henna which covered my white roots YAY although I think the white roots are saying hi to the world again, ZOMG -.-)
Put on a dress for the second time this year, and mm I feel more secure with this one cos it's longer and it's black. Nothing will go wrong with black!

Even my mom went "you ACTUALLY look good you know. I guess cos you are tall and all" ....
and when I was there feeling slightly better about myself since she always puts me down (in a light-hearted way which good-natured me knows she meant no harm of course), she had to end her sentence with: "but the front... is slightly disappointing ah".
she and her constant harping of my "tiny disappointing stuffs" and how she doesn't understand why i failed to inherit her genes -.-
On a brighter note,
Food was awesome,
the bridemaids were adorable,
Kids kept smiling,
and the couple was loving (:
My aunt commented that the base plate looked like a WEIGHING MACHINE, and dang, BAD reminder! - conveniently forgets about her diet -

On the car otw there w my sis who is beginning to be more and more girly (Y) yayy

My aunt who cooks really yummy food. The mee served @ the wedding will get owned by hers hands down mann

My fav aunt whom I managed to chat with. The rest were alllll shoo busy.

My bro trying to be tall but failing terribly due to his lousy height and my HEELS. I still had to bend down, that lousy pok hahha.
I was telling him to grow faster, LOOK better, and smile nicer cos I can't see the tiny eyes of his, then he could pretend to be my boyfriend to help me shoo guys away HAHAHA. And it would be fine with me if he needed my help too, although it's abit unconvincing huh -.- Skarly I look worse than that girl, GG MAX.
Okay, as you can tell, my imagination is kinda good now, after a filled and happy stomach!

Fam :):) Can't wait to go on the family trip again. It seems that the older you get, the more you'll appreciate family time which seems to be even rarer and harder to get as time goes by.

Sometimes things are better left unsaid
I'm back. And hopefully my butt will stay.Sometimes things are better left unsaid
Had this sudden urge to pen my thoughts down, and felt the need to do so when I realised that this year has passed really quickly. I don't wanna end the year feeling like I merely lived the life of a mugger zombie, cos that would be really pathetic.
So here are the highlights of 2011; things that made the mundane life less boring and to some extent, pretty exceptional :)
Before that, on a sidenote, I was going through the blog counts and am still surprised that there are people who come here hahaha. I guess these minor things sort of make me feel less alone at times? And some mad stalker, who are you, DON'T TOUCH MY ARCHIVES. Kinda embarrassed at the way I talked in the past with those disgusting exclamation marks and spamming of emoticons, but I just want them there, somewhere in cyberspace, so I can retrieve the memories when I need them.
Team
The big bball fam and our fam, they're pretty much still the team
Even though bball has taken a backseat in my life and I'm forced to leave it out of my priorities, it never fails to amaze me how much this sport can connect people. It isn't about how well you play the game but rather, it's the passion for the sport that brings people together.
Dagmn, this feels like a GP essay, but nah, GP essays are all about writing what is easier to write, the stand that has MORE evidence so you can make your essay look more complete. Mugger topics shall be touched later on.
IT'S ABOUT BALL THIS TIME
Sad to say and guilty to admit this, but I still haven't touched the ball even though promos ended. It's weird I know, but I have no idea why this is happening. blargh.
Anyway, I'm reallllyy looking forward to the bball trip during Dec because I know (I just do), that it would be awesome, even though the location is pathetic malaysia. Those late night talks and gossip sessions, the retarded moments when you look at each other and burst out laughing after those few seconds of silence.... I can never be done enumerating the ways of fun we would possibly have. AHHH, wish I could fast-forward time.
Spent the post-promos days w Qi at Clarke Quay and chalet. We were commenting how we were like some old lovers.
Clarke Quay was PRETTY at night!
We were trying to be tourists, with the dresses and sunglasses and all, but failed terribly. I guess we'll always have the Singaporean look huh.

Chalet: 2 days 2 nights
Spent the first night alone and the solitude did me good. It's hard to describe, but I like feeling alone sometimes. It gives me space to think, to cut myself off from the world and to calm myself. And of course, the plus point about it being in a chalet is that I need not tidy my bed!
Morning was spent with qi nua-ing. Watched 2 movies which I forgot what the titles were, slacked out at the park nearby camwhoring, and back at the chalet nua-ing. The camwhoring part was embarrassing cos people were laughing at us agh. So that's how others feel when I laugh at them :/


Chan came over at night and I have no recollection of what we talked about, but it felt great to just spill everything out, whether they were heartfelt truths or just pure bitching sessions. Another round in Malaysia!
The stupid cockroaches dampened the mood a little though. Agh, hate them.
Grades
Agh, no matter how much I hate to admit this, I've turned into a mugger. It's like, even after the promos, I still think of them. When I slack, I'll feel guilty. HELLO, who feels guilty for enjoying life the way I rightfully deserve?! Guess complete stress-free life will only surface after A-s, which is at least a bloody long year away.
Nevermind, I shall learn to like mugging somehow!
Grades were fine I guess, 2 improvements, 2 downgrades and 1 stagnant. It may sound like conceit to some when I mention that I aint happy with whatever I got, but I guess it's about self-expectations here. Nobody compares themselves to people worse than them, I mean, what for? Gloating about being superior than someone else will bring about nothing except arrogance and complacency. Perhaps it's over-estimation of what I can possibly achieve or unnecessary pressure placed on myself, but I always looked forward, and at times, too FARRR forward. I guess that's how I get my motivation :)
Currently, I'm spending my time reading and reading. from serious magazines to romance novels.
Kinda found no interest in dramas anymore since their plots kinda suck and it's just about guy meets girl, guy likes girl, girl likes guy back, some bitch comes in the middle, another guy has finds his love for the female lead unrequited, nevertheless, guy and girl gets together, lives happily ever after. My foot. as if life was that good.
And I sorta miss the feeling of chatting with a stranger LOL. Ohkay maybe I should rephrase. Not stranger, but like acquaintance? I don't know, but I guess I shan't conclude that quickly, since I get bored very quickly and may find it annoying after some time.
Shall get the OCIP documentation done ASAP, get a shower and continue reading whoohoo :)
