Leo & Viv's Wedding Day

i've always knew weddings are a tiring affair, all the planning, the coordination and the physical and emotional stress. but wat i didnt noe is tt it applies not only to the couple and their immediate family, but extends to close frens aka zee mui aka helpers. ya i noe, tt's why its called helpers. -_-ll but i remembered it wasnt this tiring when sis got married. anyway it was quite an exhausting experience, didnt get enough slp due to last min preparations (to sabo the groom) the nite before at the bride's house, having to wake up early the following day, having to follow where the bride goes and helping her change in/out of her gowns.. (yes, 什么都给我看完了*hiakhiak*) and not forgetting the shock i got seeing my fren transform into wat they term a bridezilla. very apt in this case. i wonder if they have a term for the suffering groom who has to placate the bride.. anyhow, shall blog more when pics come in (below pic from wing's blog). cun wait to see them =)

//woah, a couple of months late for this update. the photos came in abit late and there's just too much photos to sieve through for uploading. ok no excuses, im jus plain lazy hor. anyway. pics here.

Shocks!

practically jumped out of my skin when i stepped out from the toilet at home early this morning. in my slpy stupor, my senses reacted rather slowly to a presence standing near the washing machine, staring intently at me. when i finally realised, my reaction was extreme, though it was just my mum. nothing to be afraid of i noe cos she looked neither dishevelled or ghastly. but in my defense, she never wakes this early, no one does except for me. so under those circumstances, i had every right to scream and jump back in shock. and for that, mum was kind enough to compensate me with an egg sandwich to bring to work. =D

// very trivial i noe, but how often does your mum make u an egg sandwich?

totally burst my budget for this 2 months. and the worst part is, i'll be out of a job soon. honestly, i dun often spend unnecessarily, but when i do, its pretty crazy. let's list a few.

• grad portrait (at least $200) = its like obligatory? though i can definitely do without it
• grad dinner treat ($70) = err, not necc oso must say necc rite? everyone made an effort to attend lor =p
• malacca trip ($100) = quite an experience, it was like the amazing race. will blog abt it when i get pics
• new specs ($50) = totally unnecc, i have like 7 pairs now.. omg..
• contacts ($70) = cos its slightly cheaper to buy in 3?
• hair cut ($26+$32) = y twice i rather not tok abt it
• anita mui concert ($50) = i need some form of entertainment since i've decided to quit gg to the movies. and her songs are nice and creepy
• lunch treat ($50) = quite necc, cos cun always make uncle pay for mum and me
• holiday trip ($2200 + $600) = this is like the worst, i dun even noe wat got into me to actually sign up for the tour! gd thing is we can pay by instalments
  

now that i've listed it out, it looks abit worrying rite? i noe, i should be very very worried. so from today on, i shall cut down on dinner dates and stick to shopping at chong pang market. or live in complete seclusion altogether.

It Doesn't Seem To Be Dying

"Hong Kong's critically acclaimed leading stage actress, Alice Lau, of I Have A Date With Spring, returns to Singapore with a dramatic brand new production A MUI LIVE! The life story of a superstar is reenacted before your eyes and told through more than 30 hit songs of Cantopop Queen Anita Mui such as 《冰山大火》、《黑夜的豹》、《梦伴》、《妖女》、《坏女孩》、《似水流年》、《梦幻的拥抱》. Alice Lau will also appear on stage in close to 10 different elaborate outfits to dazzle you with her superstar chameleon image."

come May 16 & 17 will be the staging of a production tt's based on the life of the late Anita Mui. and already im looking forward to the show! though im not exactly a big fan of Anita, it seems interesting enough for me to actually buy the tickets. tell me, why do i scrimp and save but splurge on stuff like this?

Graduated!

2 years spent toiling for this day where i get a piece of paper certifying my status as graduand of University of London. 2 whole years, but the experience isnt as gratifying as it should. anyway, some pics taken on my graduation.

funniest shot for the day. sis suggested to pose candidly for the camera, and the result was more than candid i think. haha! and i swear i didnt do that on purpose!

and ya, hurray, i've graduated. *ho-hum*
