I haven't been to a wedding since like, 10 years. Damn long please.
To me, as a kid, weddings were happy days when I got to wear flowers on my head, and munch on gross fruit cakes in pretty boxes!
Gosh, the fruit cakes were so popular back then!
Ok, back to the wedding. It's also my first cross-culture wedding! It was kind of different, as it was held at a Community Club. Not bad at all!
The place was air-conditioned and nicely done (: FOOD WAS GREAT OMGGG.
I never really had Malay/Muslim food too. The last time was probably at Bintan?
Of course, pratas, nasi lemak, curry puff not counted LAH. Is prata even malay?
Anyway, Mashita, my muslim colleague, brought us around the buffet area, and introduced the dishes to us (:
My favourite malay dish is now LONTONG! OMG I loveeeee KETUPATS! I can todali eat it on it's own too! And I'm still a bit sad that I can't make a ketupat out of ribbons. You know, the decoration thing?
I WANT TO LEARN LEH! Anyone can teach me?? Then maybe someday I can make a real ketupat. Wheeeeee (:
Saw the bride & groom making their way in. OMG SO COOL PLEASE. The guys were playing the drums behind them; it was like a grand welcome! When they were seated, there was even a dance performance for them! Kind of reminded me of the oriental palace!
Like, the king and queen would sit on their thrones, and graceful maidens would dance for them.
It's so traditional and cultural and I like it! I kind of envy the tradition and unity they have.
Like the whole family would wear the same clothes, OKAY not exactly the same, but the fabric and color all that. One look and it's like, FAMILY.
Chinese don't even really wear our traditional costumes at all. People only dress their kids in mini Qi Paos, maybe cos it's cool. I think even middle-aged aunties would look hot in cheongsams. It's a shame that we are so trying to be angmoh and everything.
White weddings, western fashion influences, the "Silk is sucky when I perspire" excuse, OLD SCHOOL IS COOL MAN.
Ok back to the wedding again. The groom then gave a short and touching speech, introducing his wife as the "Queen of his heart". It's so cheesy, but seriously, it sure is great to be a queen and, rule someone's heart (:
He then went on to sing a song dedicated to her! I think the title of the song is "You & Me" or something, by Lifehouse. I have never heard of this song before, but I think the groom sang really great! Good voice and I could todali feel his emotions while sitting down there! Towards the end of the song, he even held the bride's hand and hugged her.
I WAS MOVED TO TEARS.
OMG I'm such a sucker for such things. But seriously, it was really romantic.
I wish they'd live happily ever after!
Why do I love Gooby so much?
@ 10:40 PM
OK THIS IS A CRAZY POST.
I was looking at Gooby's photos, all of them. And I just thought, "He's such an ass! But I love him!"
HAHAHA OMG.
Yesterday, Eb, Ab and I, we took him for a walk. Together! The feeling rocks. We came to the playground and this random idea came up. We wanted to test Gooby's love for us.
Cos you know, he seems like he loves us, but sometimes, I bet he just wants to kill me as much as I want to kill him! HAHA!
So we thought we'd "abandon" him. See whether he'd run after us.
And so, I tied his leash to the playground ladder, and we walked away. Still quite nice, got say "Bye bye!" to him.
At first he just looked at us, then as we walked further away, HE TRIED TO RUN TO US!
The leash yanked at his neck tightly and he just kept lunging forward! He looked at me pleadingly with his puppy eyes, like "Don't go..."
Haha ok that's my imagination. But still, his face! It was so "AWWWWWW".
And of course we all ran back to hug him! OMG I AM SO SICK RIGHT.
But now we all know that he loves us!
He's so naughty sometimes, must scare him once in a while. LOL!! And after we untied him from the pole, he pooed. Literally scared shitless. OMG BABY, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU THE MOST <3

Omg damn glad Daddy agreed to let Gooby ride in the car!
Ever since the day Gooby came home with us,
I didn't dare to ask about bringing him out,
cos I thought Daddy would be mad.
But holy!
He asked whether we want to bring Gooby out!
TO THE PARK!
Wheeee I was super happy!
But then sadly, it rained today :(
Nvm, still can't wait for the trip when Mummy's back tgt with us too! :D

And he's so adorable when he runs!
His sexy small butt is cute, his flying ears are cute, his pink tongue is cute, OMG <3>His butt seriously quite sexy.
Ran damn alot until we all almost died!
And Gooby was still bursting with energy!
Really enjoying all the daily walks with him.
He loves people!
But sometimes, they get scared of him when he's too hyper.
Oh well :/
But then alot of people loves him too!
One construction worker even recognises him! Haha he said hi to us just now!
So cool please we have new friends! [we even have kitty friends!]
Ab & I kind of recognise some of the neighborhood cats, since they're always lurking around.

Just received an email from Daddy again! OMG TODALI CRACKED ME UP!!
Hi Merlion Yi Yi,
How is your school holiday?? I have not hear from you for the past two weeks, I guess you must be very busy hor. Please start to spend time on your new school books. Merlion Daddy believed you can do better if you put in more effort on your study instead of spending your time aimlessly.
Merlion Ling Ling,
You are even more busy leh, sometime can't even get to see you at home or eat with you..........so missed you at time. Please try to prioritize your time and balance your external commitment. We all like to share our good time together with you. Cheers!!!
Ha ha Merlion Hui Hui,
Don't bullshit, after two weeks, I only got two mails from you??? Cheers!!! Don't forget about my two bottle of wine for my x'mas. I am quite keen to try out the diet program that Billy recommended yesterday. Shall we start together??
Finally, I will be very lonely next week because my Merlion wife is desserting me.............hope she will take care of herself and return safely to us. Anyway, enjoy yourself there and have a good time.
With love to my Merlion cub
L O L O L O L! ! !
Seriously, damn funny please? And he's complaining that his WIFE IS DESERTING HIM, zomggg. Haha, cos Mummy will be away next whole week for a business trip to HK and China! WHAT A BABY!
Maybe can make him bond with Gooby ;) Cos when no one is around, Gooby will be your bestfriend!
** Gooby just looked at me eating my Pau from the balcony. He pressed his nose against the glass, WHICH IS TODALI HILARIOUS!! Too bad I wasn't fast enought to snap a photo!

1 day after APEC:
I was lazing in bed, at 11am plus. Daddy came into my room, after his grocery shopping at NTUC.
"I HATE YOU!"
"Why!"
"Only know how to sleep sleep sleep! My off day then you don't want to go breakfast with me! I still drive you to work every morning! I HATE YOU!"
I was on the bus, on the way home. Received an ultra hilarious sms from Mummy.

U better march to my rm when u reach hm before u greet yr baby.[Jealous of Gooby!] Greet yr mum first with guilt that u hv totally ignore my 'bitter heart' in cooking the bird nest n forgetting to drink it regardless of my reminder loh!! Very angry :( :( [Really like to use alot of sad face emoticons]
Ai! Sorry mah! I thought I'd savour it properly after work mah! I still love you mah! :D

ANYONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG?? :(
Woke up this morning and found Gooby licking and chewing his paw. I tried to play with him, but he'd get distracted by the paw. It looks itchy! :(
Can tell the difference right!
It's kind of swollen and red now! :(
I even found a patch of something that looks a bit like his skin!! Found it on his fur, I think he chewed it off!
OHMY, is this serious??
Mummy asked a friend, and she said just apply Tea Tree Oil, and bandage it.
No need to go to a vet. Is it okay to do that?
NEED HELP!!
Please leave a comment here or sms me THANK YOU VERY MUCH x 10000000.
SUAY.

C A N N O T . B E L I E V E . M Y . L U C K .
I was sitting on the stool, watching the Gurkha. Happily enjoying work.
Then when I wanted to get off the stool, my shoe hooked onto the metal leg rest,
AND MY HEEL BROKE.
Like a drama style leh! Todali like what they always show on TV, lady gets a broken heel, suave man comes to help her, or send her a pretty new pair of shoes.
I broke my heel, just that mine got no HAMSOM GURKHA to come to my rescue. Eb says it's post-Friday the 13th. Sigh.
SO BLEH!
** Btw, there's a super annoying drama queen nearby. Can hear her voice every now and then. "Hola! Hola!"
HOLA GE PI.
Can security just take her away? Tsk.
The Chilli Crab Story.
Thursday, November 12, 2009 @ 11:49 AM
These few days at APEC has been quite interesting. Major boredom, but good to be involved in the event. Saw how the media rush for reports, carry heavy cameras, blah blah.
Our counter, as part of promotion, gives out free Chilli Crab mini soft toys, LIKE THE ONE BELOW:
Yep, the eyes very 3D.
I was giving this to a delegate, and then he was like, "Oh! Looks like you!"
LOLOLOLOLOL!
So funny please? I todali laughed out and didn't know what to say! "Yes, very red!"
ZOMG I JUST SAID VERY RED.
I feel dumb but I can't help it! Then he started complaining about his heavy bag, and asked me to try carrying it! LOL! Omg very gao xiao leh.
Now I keep laughing to myself.
Then then then, I cannot stop looking at the Gurkha. Very very mysterious. Very exotic. Feel like giving a Chilli Crab, but I'm scared that he'll shoot me, or stab me with the curve knife. So nevermind, just look can already.
