because you guys make things better before i start off,
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENTS etc.
i might not show it too well, but i'm really glad for your concern. i might not be close to you or anything, but it really warms my heart to see that you guys seem to care. i know i can be such a disappointment at times. especially when i take such a long time to get back on my feet and be happy. i know it can get frustrating. but in any case, really, thank you for bothering to drop by this blog to find out how i'm doing and of course for msging/ leaving a tag/calling etc. it's times like these when i really count my blessings and find out that there are people who are silently supporting me although we might not have spoken for a really long time.
ok. so a slightly happier post today as promised.
saturdayset my phone to ring at 5.30am but only to climb up of bed at 6am to find that i was super super late. quickly washed up and got ready without making too much noise so that the entire household could sleep in. tried on the white dress i bought from missypixie for the first time only to find that it was q sheer and was abit too loose at the back. but it's too late to do anything so i just had to make the best out of it. spent the rest of the day tugging at the bands at the back to make sure i wasn't revealing unnecessary flesh (hahas!) tried my best to go out of the house within the next half hour but failed v miserably. got my maid to french braid my hair while i wrestled with my contacts at the same time. only managed to leave the house 50mins later when i was expected to arrive in lavender at 6.30. \= i even abandoned the idea of light foundations, blusher, eyeshadow and mascara because i was so late. i was looking so bad because i only had about 5 hrs of sleep and hence the even worst eyebags. rushed down the hill in my heels within record time and got into the first cab i saw. lucky the traffic was smooth and i managed to arrive at about 7.05am. and pearlyn was no help at all because she told me that the groom has already arrived while i was on my way. i was so freaked out. caught a glimpse of the groom and his best men as i rushed out of the cab and into the lift. luckily they didn't see me. got into the house pretty quickly and spent pretty much the rest of the time slacking around while the bride got ready.
'guarding the door' wasn't as fun as i thought because the kids did most of the job while the 4 sisters just waited for the red packets to come through. the sisters were supposed to receive the money but somehow the kids got it in the end. we were super nice and allowed the guys to enter without any forfeit! so easy on them. we actually planned for them to dorn a bikini top and do a proper hokkien cheer if they refuse to accept our terms for the 'entry red packet'. but we didn't in the end. before we know it, the metal gates were opened and the guys got through. and so we took our places in front of the bride's door so that we can get some more red packets for ourselves. it sure wasnt an easy feat to get money out of the guys. so in the end we only got about 50dollars each instead of the agreed term of- 3 digits, no decimal place, sing dollars. hiaz. but in any case. it was an experience. so friends, ask me to be your 'sister' next time. hehe.
anyway, the rest of the day was pretty boring. basically just followed the bride and groom everywhere. from lavender to ang mo kio (groom's family place) to mandai area (to take pictures), to yew tee (their house) and back to lavender again. we took some pictures in mandai area but i'm not really looking forward to seeing them cause i think i'll be looking really bad and shagged.
spent q abit of time back in lavender playing for the bride's nieces who are so super pretty. oh gosh. i'm so in love with their huge huge adorable eyes. plus the younger niece wasn't shy at all and she kept pestering pearlyn and i to play with her. we ended up camwhoring alot. shall post the pics up once i get them from pearlyn. oh man, their eyes are to die for. i want too! hehe. i bet they'll both grow up to be super super pretty.
left about 4.30pm because we were waiting for the rain to stop. but it never did.
anyway i think this post is boring. shall be editing it with pictures once i get them from pearlyn/bride/groom.
by the way i'm sorry for the lack of names because the bride's and groom's identities are supposed to be kept secret.
sundayfirst day in youth. pretty ok i guess. but there's still alot to get use to, esp sermons in the main hall. i cant help but always fall asleep when i'm there. hiaz. bad habit.
i was having a pretty bad headache (like the past few days) so i was q stone during sunday school and orientation. but i'm glad i still went for abit of orientation although i was tempted to go home and sleep. left just before games with dad.
i feel like going to make new specs cause mine has been more than a year old and the orange paint is starting to chip off. plus get new sports shoes for school. shall see if parents are up to it tonight.
signed and sealed with love at...4:13 PM
