Faintz days

These 2 days i have been to PS.... twice! -.- once on thur... meeting fren there... and once on fri.. cos i left my file there on thur.. gotta go back and find it... -.- but the consolating part is both days i managed to take the same bus as him... hahaha.. ok crap..

the other faintz thing happened yest.. after packing my bag and getting ready to go home.. i said bye to my colleagues... but they were engaged in a discussion.. so no one replied me... so i just left.. after i stepped out of the door for 3 sec... my fren opened the door and shouted after me 'hey why never say bye to me!?!?' super loud can! ok now comes the faintz part... just in tat split sec when tat happened... he came back from toilet i think.. and was going to open the door when the door flew open and someone stepped out and shouted... hahaha... kinda stop him in his tracks... (he don understand chinese.. so i guess he must be wondering 'why is this girl shouting at tat girl?' hahaha....) and he just stared at me and i stared back.. don know how to react... and my fren was still blocking the doorway! so he just stood there and waited for us to finish our 'conversation'... but i was still stunned and speechless... finally when i came to... i decided to end it all and said 'sshh.. bye bye..' and wave her in... malu can! he must be thinking wat's with these 2 siao charbos... hahaha... (!!!-.-)

anyway lately seems like a lot of things to do... applying my supp credit card... opening my US bank acct... checking out accomm... choosing car pool frens.. etc... plus baking today for tmrw's gathering.. and meeting up with frens and stuff... 1 more week and i'll be off work! shall decide next week if i wanna extend another week... ok gotta go check out my bread... rush rush.. meeting my fren!

Unwell again

There seem to be a virus lurking around the office... the whole office seems to be sick... everyone is taking turns to take MC... even a few pple a day... causing some of us to have to cover their work... i haven been sleeping well lately.. so i guess tat weakens my immune system and gave the virus a chance to attack... a slight throat discomfort and a mild flu...

today time passes real slowly... don know why... usually when i go late for lunch... time seem to pass faster... cos u come back at 2+... 3... so another 3 more hours can go home.. but today after lunch.. worked till i feel tat it's time to go home.. but it's only 5pm! faintz... it's a drag.. maybe it's because of the sick mood in the office tat make things seem to go slow...

even he is sick... he seems to be more serious than me... heard him cough.. sneeze.. and blow his nose... when i walked pass his table.. saw him blowing his nose using toilet paper! literally the whole roll on his desk.. i was wondering.. where did he get tat from? cannot be take the whole roll from the toilet right!??! but anyway.. can't be bothered la..

cos too many pple falling ill... they set up those air purifying stuff with the swirly fluid inside... and even go around asking if anyone wanna wear a mask!??!!? so faints... who would wanna do tat man? and look like an alien... even the building maintenance guy kena shoot by boss.. say their central airconditioning on too strong.. too cold and caused us to fall sick... hahahaha..

sometimes i really wonder... should u praise someone who comes to work even when they are sick... or should they stay home so as not to pass the germs to others at work... hmmm....

well... hope everybody get well soon...

Recent thoughts

Went swimming after work yest... it's the first time i went to a pool when the sun has set... well... we couldn't really call it swimming... more like... soaking.. hahah... the most faintz thing was we only realise we forgot our goggles after we locked our lockers... my fren had on contacts.. so must have goggles to swim.. so it's either we open our lockers and pay again to close it... or we just do without it... which we chose to.. forget it... anyway we both had our own troubles tat day... so just soak and try to wash everything away... talking and consulting one another... soaked for an hour plus till our skin became wrinkled before we decide to leave... went to a nearby coffee shop for dinner... by which was already about 9.30pm... surprisingly.. the tv there's not showing soccer... hmm..

after tat... we just sat on a stone stool and talked the night away... don know whether we really have tat much to talk about.. or are we just harping on the same issues.. but well.. would say it was another of those getting to know one another's recent thoughts kinda session.. also found out tat the girls actually feels tat i changed a lot over the years... since some incident 3 years back and also my stay in Aust... both good and bad... the past 3 years had been a tough time for me... to them.. it has resulted in me being more withdrawn... and have higher standards for things around me.. be it towards other pple or myself... but i guess the positive part tat came out of it was that i manage to know more about myself in these 3 years... though am still seeking the real me...

the past 3 years had proven to me... tat i can both be emotionally strong and yet vulnerable at the same time.. that brings forth the analogy of the 'cactus'... soft on the inside but prickly on the outside in order to protect itself... the Aust stay made me realised i can actually be very determined... when i literally 'forced' myself to reach the goals... it was a surprise actually considering the lack of determination and how slack i was back in NUS times... but like i said.. this determination brings with it a trade-off... which is u get easily upset by things that are beyond ur control as compared to when u take it lightly... upset tat things doesn't go ur way or can't achieve the things u want to happen...

i guess i should try to not take things too seriously... hopefully can not get so upset when things doesn't go my way... it's funny in the sense tat u weren't tat perserverance before... now tat u r... u need to back track a bit cos u probably perservere too much and get affected with things tat probably wouldn't happen..

ok.. this entry sounds weird and out of the blue... but just a summary of some thoughts i have recently...

Still about him..

today went to watch 'cars' with TAP pple... 5 of us.. so thought no need to pre-book the tix.. plus now World Cup sure no one watch movie one.. plus it's a cartoon.. how wrong were we... reached Cineleisure about 7+.. wanted to get the 8.20 show.. shockingly... the tix are sold out! -.- so we decided to try our luck by going to Lido... and irritatingly the cinema there is near empty... -.- everyone's packed at Cineleisure.. should have just fix at Lido instead... the show's pretty nice.. cute and funny.. plus it's more than 2 hours.. i think.. so quite worth it for $7 la..

In response to frens who know about this guy... stop telling me to just go talk to him... i also know that!! but i can't ok!! u think go market buy vege ah? just take and pay then go... -.- not tat easy for me k... -.- i'm shy too ok... (ok though i know someone would think otherwise.. hahaha) i can talk to him.. provided he's responsive... but i'm easily affected by the person i'm talking to... so seeing him so shy just makes me feel shy too..

2ndly... to all my frens... don tell me 'he likes u'... cos i seriously doubt tat... sigh... but sometimes i just don understand those guys tat like but don dare to do anything about it.. weird eh? wanna wait for the girl to make the first move? not every girl is so brave one can...

this guy fren of mine said ' just try la.. nothing to lose.. and a bf to gain...' erhm... hmmm.. i din think tat far ok... just wanna get to know him and be frens only la.. plus i don think he's the kinda guy tat i would choose for life... plus for those who know me.. i'm those 'for the moment' players... not really a 'long-term' committer... ok.. sounds playful.. but hey i restrained myself a lot already ok... tried not to start anything which i don think is gonna work out... not even those for the 'fun of the moment' types leh... learnt my lesson.. hahaha... plus like wat my other fren said... it's not the right time for us to start a r/s now...

but on the whole.. i think being about to see him everyday is the only reason why i don mind going back to work... pple even asked me whether i wanna work beyond 30th... well... hmm... hahaha... but contradictingly.. i gotta work for only 2 more weeks... i think i'm gonna miss him after i leave leh... ok.. at least until i find another person to bio... hahahaah.... but will still miss him... to think i don think i'll ever see him again...

drats! way way past bedtime.. ok... will be zombified again tmrw...

Wat's wrong with this guy man?

well... life's still as boring as ever... and the every morning bus squeezing still disgust me as usual... nothing much's changed... except tat we are slowly moving nearer to the date tat i have to leave everything behind... my family.. my frens... the familiar surroundings... way of life... the pple i bio... hahahaah..

talking about tat... i realised something about this guy... coincidentally... we will always bump into each other either at the restroom area.. or the pantry where we go fill water... there's always something about doors... it's either he's pushing the door out while i was pulling it at the same time.. (and get scare-d when the door suddenly feels light or flies open in front of ur face) or we are opening and holding doors for one another... -.- ok to the thing tat i realised... he never look me in the eye... wat's wrong with him man!?! if i weren't looking straight at him.. my sideward glance tells me that he's looking in my direction... but when i turn to face him.. he'll look away.. avoiding my eye contact... -.-

today went to fill my bottle... when i reach the pantry... i saw him there and i thought to myself.. 'oh shit...' cos the coincidental thing is happening too often... i don want him to think tat i follow him ah... hahaha... but there's no way i can back away at that point cos he already sensed my presence... so no choice had to awkwardly wait for him to be done.. then after tat he'll scoot off... -.- ok maybe i think too much... but i have decided.. if i see him leave the office.. i shan't go toilet or go fill water or so much as stand up... hahaha...

ok... psychotic there again... hahaaha.. but i just don understand wat's wrong with this person la.. see each other everyday.. din even show any sign of recognition.. instead... avoid my eyes... #$@*&@!*@**@&#*... my frens say maybe he's shy or he likes u... but i don think he likes me... cos i don sense tat at all... -.- guess he's just super shy... hey i should be the one who should be shy here can!?! well... tat's a first for me... the shyest guy i ever met... hahahaah... cute though... hahaha...

Bored beyond words

My job has taken a turn for the monotonous... other than the daily orders... i have to check out the 4000+ customers records and update them... first day doing it today.. and manage to finish 100 records... hmm.. think i might not be able to finish them by the time i leave.... times after lunch are the toughest to past... feel super sleepy... practically stare at the screen with half-open eyes... wonder if they look anything like Garfield's eyes to others... ahhaha... and when u r in this state of trance all the time... u tend to make a few minor mistakes... like sending out emails before u attach the files... updating on the wrong page.. blah blah blah... -.-

Been trying to inject some excitment into my work... by... bio-ing pple... hahaha... there's this guy tat i will see everyday at the bus stop... and he's from my office la... i would say he is the most bio-able from the office.. so well... everyday see each other.. also no reaction... haha... been trying to find a chance to talk leh... but doesn't seem to be able to find any opportunity... sianz... even the only thing to look forward to at work also turn out to be so disappointing... -.-

well.. have another month to try to 'chance upon' and break the boredom of work... hahaha... but hard la.. subtle opportunity doesn't come by easy... well.. we'll see... if not then like wat my fren say.. go US and get an ABC la.. hahahaa...

Step 2

drats! something wrong with the server after i finished typing... lost my post... gotta rewrite... well.. here goes...

Step 2 marks the beginning of the visa application process... went for the session with the agency that is sponsoring our visa... the guy wanted us to intro ourselves... after tat he comment and question u on wat u said... in an irritatingly irritating manner... haha.. cocky in fact... luckily i was the last of the group.. so i had a bit of time to think about wat i wanna say and not get shoot by him... haha.. well.. we'll meet again in 2 weeks time.. to be 'trained' on how to answer the embassy interview questions.. so as to get our visa approved...

after tat i went to take my basic theory test... passed it.. haha... initially was hoping tat it could give me some advantage if i wanna take driving lessons in the states... but sigh... seems like it does not offer me any chance to skip any steps... drats... well.. at least basic is for life... won't expire... so no need to retake... so if i don learn in US.. i can still continue after i come back... so i guess i would have to rely on fellow trainees to come fetch me... haha...

went to watch Da Vinci Code today... wasn't as wow as i hope it would be... there isn't much magnificent visuals of the churches and museums... to make the feeling more grand... well.. i guess the book is better.. more descriptions.. more details... the basic idea is there in the show... but there were quite a bit of modifications... too fast pace too.. well.. i guess we shouldn't expect too much since we were warned tat if u already read the book... u will find the show disappointing... well.. ya... a little...

wat i would like is to be able to be there in UK and France.. to see those places for myself... and not forgetting those places in Rome in the Angels and Demons... would be quite an experience... wonder when i will get to go there though... hmm...

TAP outing

Today went for our 1st TAP outing! met 3 of them at Raffles MRT then walked to the Boat Quay TCC... when we reached there... we saw 2 'suspicious characters'... so we used the magic password 'Lonza?' hahaha... and they said 'ya' haha... then the 6 of us went to tell the waitress tat someone in our group made a reservation for a table for 25 to 30 pple.. and she said 'ya.. they are all upstairs..' and when we went up... i was like 'wow... so many pple!' the turnout was pretty good... 20++ out of the 37 of us going US... more guys than us girls thought initially... hahaaha...

settled into the bean bags... at our long table... ordered drinks.. and had our rounds of introduction... tried to memorise everybody's names... matching those pple we talked to on msn to their faces... i managed to get most of their names... except maybe 2 guys who sat like pretty far away...

initially we just talked to whoever we are sitting near to... then we found tat we don get to talk to everyone.. so we started to change seats once in a while to get to know everyone.. they are ok.. talkable... nice pple...

at the end of the gathering i was asking myself 'so wat did we achieve from this gathering' seems like no conclusions were reached about the impt issues like accommodation... shipping stuff... bank account etc tat we set out as agenda initially.. haha... it was just a mass interaction time..

well.. at least pple were great from this 1st meet up... tat's good for starters...

Ugly pple

Went back to work today... after 3 days of MC plus 2 days of weekend... think it's the longest MC i ever took... but i'm still under the weather... -.- think everything just slowly build up and all explode at the same time... from high fever to slight fever to running nose to sore throat to cough to block nose... sigh.... today was so busy... so many orders to process... my colleague was like telling me... pls come tmrw... if not they'll be so busy.. haha..

Hmm... keep wondering one thing these days... ever since started going to work it just hit me... why pple always like to push so much? either push and squeeze along a crowded street (like wat they did during the pasar malam last week) or they like to fight to be the first up the bus (like the swarm of pple every morning) hmm... why can't they go with the flow until it's their turn? hmm... kiasu leh... wonder whether they just wanna get a seat or they are just afraid they won't be able to squeeze into the bus... in the streets also... either they like to squeeze... or they like to suddenly stop or change directions in crowded places right in front of u... or they like to walk super slow... like they are the only ones in the street.... and one thing tat always occur to me is... they like to walk into my face!! why see i am going in their direction.. they cannot just walk further away? they just have to walk into my face and expect me to give way to them... -.-

ok... don mean to grumble so much... just tat it just happen to me so many times recently tat i start wondering why are pple like tat... ugly leh... tsk tsk tsk...

-jiahua

Sick

sigh... have been sick these past 2 days.. so no work for me.. haha... one day u get hot flashes and the next cold flashes... temp rose to about 38.8 degrees yest... used 2 ice packs to try to bring down the temp... i think i'm feeling better today...

by the way.. i'm not confused ok... it's just tat life is contradicting at times... u do certain things not because u want to.. but because u have to... get it? well... sometimes i do wonder... if pple can not think about the need to get a good job (as in don need to worry about money) or also not be affected by wat others say (because at times the things u wanna do is pretty unorthodox) then wat would they have chosen to do? i haven really thought of something myself... so i guess we are still going with the flow or rather the push of society to move forward...

Long Weekend

fri went to grandma's house to celebrate mothers' day... as usual had our plenty of dishes lunch... and the 'gotta have' cake... told the whole family tat i would be going to US.. all thought it is gonna be a good experience... but wat grandma said really saddens me... she said... 'she's old... don know whether i'll still be able to see her when i come back' =( tat really weights heavily on me... i hope everything goes well for my family when i'm away...

got an email from US... providing more info... and i think they will not find accommodation for us... sianz... hate it when i need to do things myself... esp when i have no idea how to... well... US trainees have started conversing with each other.. adding each other on msn.. they even planned a gathering for next next sun... tat's enthu... but thru the msning with them.. got a feeling they are not really my kinda clique... but well... we'll see...

well... think i am a fussy person.. loner also... so don know whether can find the right place to stay... and will be able to get used to whoever i'll be living with not... sighz... and think the public transport there is like... almost non-existant can... so we need a car... who drive leh u tell me... *faints* we'll see when we get there... -.-

-jiahua

Start of long weekend

well... yest's entry was like random... tat's explains the title.. can't even think of a title for the randomness... haha... hope i won't have further entries entitled 'random 2' or 'random 3'... hahaha...

well... end of work today marks the start of long weekend... so thought it's something worth celebrating... and to have an entry to commemorate... no work for 3 days! woohoo.... -.-

was looking back at past entries... rem i did say i would try to finish the filings soon so i don have to do tat anymore... boy was i wrong! just within a day and a whole box of them appeared... out of nowhere! o.O so i guess it's never gonna stop... till the day i quit... well.. have been involved in other stuff too.. like orders assigning... etc... but i guess admin's really not the kinda thing for me... don wanna sit the whole day... ok shouldn't say tat... in case i get jinxed for my future job... hahaha...

the visa application is like taking quite a while... haven heard anything yet... when is my step 2 coming? haha... after the briefing... the only email i got was giving us the email add of the person to contact... obviously a lot of pple sent in enquiries... but i was like thinking... is there tat much things to ask about? hmm.... maybe they should forward the qns and ans to everyone... at least can get an idea of wat others are asking... or maybe they are just asking crap... for example.. during the briefing... someone asked 'do u think it is advisable to bring your spouse along?' -.- i was like thinking... tat's ur own business... why ask other's opinion... duhz... oh well...

-jiahua

Random

hmm.. this entry was supposed to be posted yest... but something wrong with the site i think... can only post now -.-
been raining a lot recently… and the aircon at work is like siao… always have sudden gushes of cold wind… makes us feel like we are working in the north pole… sigh… my body is giving me the aches lately… the cold office coupled with the slight lack of sleep… resulting in slight fatigue… -.-

oh ya.. made a cheesecake on sun… new recipe… pretty successful… taste and texture were right =D

and i managed to smack dead a fly with my bare hands… must be a rookie fly… haha… reaction so slow… trust it to have eyes tat enable them to see 360 degrees? hmm… well.. remind me of tat time when I was in Melbourne… the great ocean road trip… lots of flies… stand there and not move and all the flies will just land on u… and u'll have a pokka dot shirt... haha... i managed to kill quite a few (at least 5 i think..) of those tat followed us into the bus… proud indeed… kill of the day! Haha… the driver of the bus (maybe afraid tat we would dirty his bus or wat) told us tat if we kill one... more will come... -.- i was like thinking tat's even better... i can kill them all at one shot... hahaha... so don think u can scare me k... ok.. tat's crappy...

ventured to biopolis to meet qi and xin for lunch today... sigh... miss the 1st lunch shuttle... by like 20 seconds can?!!? nobody wanna go biopolis for lunch... so bus went off immediately... i was standing like just 5 metres away can... -.- got a shorter time to eat and talk cos gotta catch the bus back.. sianz... anyway decided to plan an outing for next fri... meant for our sec sch frens... will spread the news... whoever's interested can come... haha... wonder if pple we are not so close to will turn up... well... we'll see...

Step 1

before i start... the radio is playing zhang dong liang's 'zhi yin wei ni' now... and i think it's like the 3rd time i heard this song today... heard it once while passing by the cd stall at bugis village and once on radio while on bus home and then now... -.- ok maybe shouldn't give tat face la.. song's not bad la.. =p

ok.. about today... took another day's leave despite working for only half day on fri... =p well.. wat to do... gotta go submit the acceptance form wor (tat's the 1st step)... plus i'm very considerate ok... straight after submitting the form.. went straight to raffles hospital to do my body checkup le leh... (so no need to take another day's leave again... if not later pple give me weird looks for taking so many offs... -.-) ok... at the checkup today... as usual.. i got pricked (blood test) and zapped (x-ray) again.. ( to think the last time i did those was like just 1 year ago lor... last time was to apply study permit... now employment permit.. ) hai.. another sign of transitions in life... oh ya.. not forgetting the long waits... with loads of pple lounging around.. holding their piece of queue number... staring up at the board every time it goes 'ding dong'... funny leh.. like matching some kinda lottery or horse race results... hahaha...

managed to do a bit of shopping around today... bought 2 t-shirts... a roxy and a mickey mouse one... (don laugh ok... not the kiddish kind hor... is nice one can... haha)

and hor.. yest while i was looking out of the window... i notice somone trying to park la... then he was like super slow lor... very hesitant... like move a bit then brake a bit... so very jerky and slow... i was like thinking just normal parking lor... position car straight then just back all the way into the lot la.. why keep on in out in out like tat... if he parallel park how? behind sure jam ah... but there was a triangle on the window la.. so concluded tat he is probably not a good driver.. haha =p ok to the point... while on my way home... near the carpark... i saw wat i did yest.. front view this time.. not bird's eye view liao... but i could recognise it there and then... so purposely walk slower cos i wanna see who the driver is... hahaha... but as usual... he was inching in and out of his lot again.. very slow.. so even when the lift door open... he haven finish parking.. so no choice la.. gotta give up waiting.. but i think it's a middle age man... hahaha...

ok... don laugh at others liao... signing off.. sighh... work tmrw again... =(

tag board

the other day... small cousin was asking me to get a tag board... i was like thinking... hmm.. i don really know how to do so many fancy stuff to the blog leh.. >.> i'm a newbie leh (funny associating the word 'new' with someone my age... haha.. just like in 'freshmen'... am no longer 'fresh'.. haha) well.. i was like thinking... who on earth is gonna tag man? ok... other than u.. cousin.. -.- haha.. i mean really lor... don think pple visit my blog la.. nothing interesting mah.. just for me to record my everyday happenings (tat's the reason why i got this blog.. as a diary to record everyday happenings when i'm overseas... memory sake..) put also no one write... very sa la leh... but anyway.. just to explore the various features.. i have done tat... added one already... let's be amused by the usage or rather.. the under-usage... of the tag board... haha... frens my age are too busy to blog la (provided they even have 1 tat is.. -.-) so ya... i think there'll be only 1 person using it... hahaaha..

can't help noticing.. from the blogs.. u can tell straight away without looking at the profiles or entries whether it belongs to a teenager or a lao kok kok like me... (but still gotta give credit to pple who keep up with the times la... not everyone as lag as me la... haha.. -.-) teenagers' blogs are really fanciful... with fancy blogskins and many features... going further into reading the entries... u will realise the language usage... funny spellings... funny styles... oh ya.. and the lots of Fs and wat not vulgarities (not tat pple my age don spew those... haha.. there's always pple around whose language always raises ur eyebrow) i think for LKKs like me... our language is not so fanciful... maybe occasional short forms and stuff... i'm not a frequent user of short forms myself anyway.. (can't afford to be informal in ur writing when u r working) watever la.. just can't help noticing lor... and being a LKK... will also wonder whether tat has any effect on the way they write in sch... but anyway... can't be bothered la.. not my business anyway... hahaha...

ok... shall find out more about how to change other blog features.. hope to see more changes myself too... haha.. shows tat i have picked up something new again... hahaaha...

Mixed feelings

went for the briefing on fri... nothing much actually... just know wat are the next few steps we need to follow... where we'll be sent to and the blah blah stuff about wat happens if we skip bond -.-

well... on one hand... glad to have this opportunity to undergo training.. in a supposedly new field in sg... but on the other hand... the impact of leaving sg after only been back for like slightly more than half a year is slowly sinking in... sad to have to leave my family behind...=( going to a place with a time difference of a whole 12 freaking hours... at the other end of the globe... not forgetting the unknown area of training tat i would be allocated under... wat if it's some crappy stuff tat i'm not very interested in? hmm... hopefully i don get quality assurance or validation... read thru the brief descriptions... think manufacturing sounds more interesting... maybe QC also ok... but well... manufacturing seems better... oh well... we'll see... plus the uncertainty of whether i would be offered a place in the sg plant after completion of the training... well... just have to hang on to the belief tat after the training.. even if i wasn't offered a place.. the training would better my chances of getting a job... hmmm.. don know how true is tat... but i guess for now it's the only consolating thought tat we could hang on to for the moment and not think too ahead of ourselves and get all stressed up...

well... i guess it would be a good experience... staying in US for 18 mths... experiencing the change of the 4 seasons... hmmm.. i'll get to see snow for the first time... tat's something new... on the other hand... will be missing a whole year of events happening in sg... the festivals... the tv programs... hahaha...

OMG... was checking the current temp there... and it's like 36 Fahrenheit... which converts to like 2 degrees!! and i thought if i'm not wrong... it's suppose to be wat... spring? or summer? still so cold? hmm.. well.. maybe cos it's like 3, 4 am there? -.-

well... let's just hope everything turns out fine... and goes smoothly... the way i want it to! ok.. will post again when i find out more about the place....

Old frens

Yest met up with old frens out of the blue (recall back... we were in the same class in kindergarten!! so tat makes us frens of 20 years!!) and the funny thing is... i don think we ever met up for anything before... haha... hope in future we could hang out more... since we stay so near to one another...

Oh ya.. going to be an office gal from thurs onwards... for 2 mths plus bah... before i go off again... haha.. at least got some income la.. and also to pass time la... rotting too much is bad for health... haha...

Malay wedding

Wow! today is the wedding day of a malay neighbour (i don know them la.. haha.. but hey.. we are neighbours... we stay in the same block! and of cos we find each other's faces familiar la) met her mother in the lift yest.. she was dressed all in red (with circular chinese symbols design.. like those on qi pao... chinese influence.. haha) chatted for tat few seconds it took the lift to get to her floor... imagine i use to see her daughter in the lift in early mornings when we were still in uniforms.. going to sch... time flies... though i think she should be only in her early 20s bah...

walked pass yest... the void deck was lavishly decorated... with lots of tables... the floral arch... their 'throne'... and overall was a whole white and light purple tone.. nice... a lot going on in the makeshift kitchen also... cooking loads... large pots... and pple washing dishes at the sinks... busy busy... oh ya... not forgetting malay music blasting and singing!! haha..

at about 1.30pm.. the groom arrived... with his kompang troupe... how exciting... first time i actually get to see it happen (from a bird's eye view) other neighbours... both my block and the opp block were sticking their heads out to see the arrival of the group.... haha... kaypo also...

i always find malay weddings interesting... very fun... everyone get together... hang out... and feast... the overall atmosphere is warm.. with well wishes of frens and relatives... just a very 'family feeling'... totally love it... =)
