Another wedding

Another friend got married on Sunday (tea) Monday (banquet)!
As usual, I was the jie mei again, yippie......NOT!

TEA CEREMONY - SUNDAY
First of all, the groom and xiong di sooooooo cannot make it, so uncooperative, so not gallant, in a summary, WAH LAO EH.
There were 3 of us as jie mei and got 4 xiong di.
So as usual, we start with suan tien ku la (STKL)
Wah lao, the stupid groom is damn irritating!!!
First, he asked us to explain the meaning behind the STKL, so fair enough we explain di di da da.
Then he pretended to forget and asked us to explain again! What the freak??
He refused to eat the STKL even when the parents inlaw were in the room, watching him lor!
So we argued (and I really mean argue) to the point that I told him in a very stern voice, "This is symbolic and your parents inlaw were watching, are you going to eat, or not."
And you know what he said "Sure, I will eat lah, but you got to explain to me what it means...etc etc" He seriously tried to talk his way out with his INELOQUENCY and irritating trying to act cute, FAINT!
Fucking third time okay! Until my friend's aunt also got pissed off and told him "This is a necessity, you need to eat it, all right?"
Wah lao eh!!!!!!
After that ang pow only gave a total of $28 for 3 of us - fine, who cares about his money, it's only a token anyway - so we let him off at $28.
The drama didnt end there, ask him to sing and dance - WE PROVIDE MUSIC AND LYRICS - he also didnt want to. And start with his annoying "Okay tell me what the significance of doing this, bla bla bla"
What the freaking shit man - and this is only the second item!!
We, the sisters, were quite pissed off lor, it's like not telling you to strip or anything.
Roll eyes thousand times!
Cannot tahan anymore I told him off! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I GOT PISSED OFF BEING A JIE MEI, YOU TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF. *Glare and roll eyes*
By then, the 3 jie meis totally pissed and no mood so told him to go up.
Before he went in, one of the jie meis told him to state 5 reasons why he wanted to marry my friend:
1. Because I love her.
2. Because she loves me....errr..errr...
3. Because I love her....err..err...
4. Because she loves me.

I think he is a reincarnation of a spoilt recorder.

Anywaysssss, the xiong dis are more fun people, got gossip about the groom with them and hi hi ha ha in the car also lah.

Then we reached the groom's house at 8am.
We waited for bloody 1/1/2 hour for the relatives to come in and conducted the tea ceremony!
Wah lao! I only heard of relatives waiting for the couple right, I have never waited for so long for relatives to turn up one you know.
Poor my friend hot and uncomfortable in her wedding gown.
So what we do during the 1/1/2 hour? Talk cock with xiong dis, drank 4 cups of tea, drank 3 cups of coffee, prick my eyes with my fingers to stop falling asleep, read newspaper.
Of course we have to pretend to still be chirpy and happy, so that my friend wont feel bad about it lah. Aiyoh.... I think she also sian. So we take lots of photos during to kill some time as well =)

After that we went back to her new house, then to her parents' place again.
I was casually chatting with my friend's sis (forgot her name, so im going to call her jie jie) then we gossip about groom's relatives lor. hahahaha....
I told the jie jie that no worries lah, even though groom very ngiao, but he treats her well, very concerned if my friend felt hot.
Then jie jie sniped "He better treats her well!"
Apparently the week before the wedding, he didnt really care much about my friend and this upset my friend lor.
Haizzz... maybe wedding jitters and stress? I also dont know lah.

So I told jie jie, "Well, the couple smiled and laughed a lot, I guess they are really happy!"
Then jie jie retorted " Zho hi what! + glare". At this point, I confirm know her sis really doesnt like the groom.

WEDDING BANQUET - MONDAY
Then comes Monday evening, I was totally sick and down with fever.
Bride totally pretty with her curls and wedding dress - she looked very sweet and happy!
Me doing reception again, while waiting for guests to arrive, drank 2 glasses of water and lots of potato chips!
So after 7 plus, guests started to arrive.
Most of the guests from the groom side arrived first... My friend's guests also si be ku ku jiao one, most of them came so late!!!

Got drama lor,
At about 8 plus, the groom checked with his sister and sister-inlaw, "So how many % of MY guests have arrived? Oh almost all? Can start already lor?"
Si be infuriating!!!!!!!!! He said this without checking with his bride - who was just standing beside him!!
Then his sister said "Oh, our guests have mostly arrived, but hers (the bride) havent"
Wah lao, very tactless right... my friend already so gan cheong! stupid bimbo.

Then ding dong ding dong on whether to start wedding without waiting for bride's guests... ngi ngo ngo... discuss... discuss... I just shut up and play with nails since I'm not fambly)

So jie jie, my heroine for the day, stood up and told the groom tensely, "Why not start at 8.30? It's raining and a weekday, I'm sure some people will be delayed. We should give them some time allowance." (Noni applauded quietly with her toes + glare at the groom + smiled sweetly at the bride)
Groom (MAYBE just remembered the wedding dinner doesnt make up of his guests only): "Oh okay okay, start at 8.30"

At this point, the biological brother (also wedding coordinator), came out and ask the whole bunch of us, "so are we starting soon?" HAHAHAHHAHAA... cant blame him, he was oblivious of the whole situation... Actually his biological brother is the nicest of the lot!! He is the most sporting of the lot and very helpful towards the bride's family. When I was alone waiting for the rest of the guests to come in, he asked the waitress to serve me a bowl of soup too. Wah very considerate!

Sigh.... quite sad I missed the march in and the montague.
I just wish my friend a blissful marriage. Though we were not the closest friends, I hope my friend makes the right choice. I'm sure there are plus points to the groom that makes her want to spend the rest of her life with him.
But I can also understand why jie jie doesnt like him. After all, my friend is very much doted by her family.

Oh well... quite a drama wedding. Wish my friend happiness forever and ever! =)

Totally Inspired - Marathon 2008

Met up with Jessie for lunch today. Man, I admire that zha bor, she completed her marathon!
I will run marathon in 2008 for sure! Will make time to train, will try my best!
But first must beef up my leg muscles, otherwise cannot make it.
Jessie said need to lose some weight first, so that the burden on the legs is lesser.
Shit this is pretty challenging, I have never gone below 55 since JC days.
But Will TRY!!!

According to J, a lot of old farts who ran marathon okay - is that inspirational or what!
And these old folks are like TOTALLY FIT lor, of course got some who crawled to finishing line lah.
If the old fogeys can do it, there is no excuse for me to say I CANT.
The challenge now is to keep to my training regime. Marathon is different from 21km, I surely cannot finish 42km without proper training!
By running 21km onli, my knees were woobly and turned into jello, cant even freaking walk straight. Heng ah, I recovered after 2 days!
Glad I dont use those squat toilets, I rather not pang sai.

Anyway, my goal for marathon 2008 is now cast into stone, I WILL DO IT!
Here's some funny video of "A day after the marathon"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-hCuYjvw2I

I want to zho bo lan

I feel damn lazy to work today. No mood siah.
I want to go off already, hang out at some cafe and read a book while sipping tea.
Today totally si be sian, man, I want to go holiday!!!!

Can't wait until the 20th Dec, first day of office shut down until 1st Jan.
I need my break - I want to zho bo lan whole day!
Though I can do that during weekend but to zho bo lan during weekdays is totally different feeling - dont ask me why, I also dont know.
I want to zho bo lan, sobbbbb...

OH, forgot to update,
I lost a bit of weight already, I can wear my old pants now, though a bit tight, but I can freaking BUTTON the drat pants at least.
Will run regularly to go back to my ogiginal weight, I'm sorry my pants, I will be back to action with you soon!
Muaharharharharhar....

I did it!

Went for half marathon and completed it!
YAY~ busted my knees but all worth it!
Waiting for the timing to be released!

This year's run is pretty special to me, coz I'm running alone (no ah fat, peter running 10km with wife), plus I had no training at all. Thought of not running this year but I seriously felt very sad when I made that decision, so fuck care, just run and I'm freaking glad I did!!

The run started well, weather quite cooling in the morning and the crowd is simply crazily wild!! Well, who is not crazy to wake up at 4 plus AM to prepare for a torturous run that lasted at least 2 hours?

Anyways, it was a great run to start with, at the 5km mark, I still feel quite fit. Then something happened....... I was stalked by a lup sup uncle. Ewwwww..... lup sup + uncle = TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!

Signs that I was stalked by lup sup uncle:

(1) lup sup uncle first run beside me and chat a bit "how's the run?" "first time running?". Clever nono knew this uncle is seriously WRONG, so nono spoke a bit and ran faster.
(2) lup sup uncle no where in sight and happie nono ran with SMILES
(3) disgusted nono spot lup sup uncle at 20 degree to her right and he smiled his lup sup smile at nono, so disgusted nono ran behind him so he wont give her the disgusting smile
(5) lup sup uncle looked behind him, to his left, saw nono and smiled AGAIN (EW!!!!! I want to slap him at this point! He thinks he has charming smile? He thinks he is Keanu Reeves?? _l_ )
(6) nono cannot tahan anymore, ran behind him, to his right side. lup sup uncle turned to his left and cannot spot nono. he did it about 3 times and finally smart enough to turn to his right and found nono - again he smiled his lup sup smile.
(8) disgusted nono ran faster and lup sup uncle caught up beside nono and gave nono disgusting smile again
(9) nono lost patience and curse (roll eyes and cursed "oh god"). Then nono ran faster and left lup sup uncle behind.
(10) lost lup sup uncle so nono ran faster then out of no where lup sup uncle beside nono and said "hows the run?"

At this point, nono lost her patience and shouted "UNCLE, I DONT TALK WHEN I RUN AND STOP STALKING ME OR I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE MARSHALL!!" Lup sup uncle suprisingly calm and said "okayyyy" and pehhhhhhhh he ran to the other side.

What a cockster!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I'm glad I gave him a piece of my mind so I can keep running in peace! I bet he did this every year, stalking people, so I rather regret that I didnt bother to remember his number and report him.

Anyways, this year run's is quite challenging. Wah leg muscles cannot take it. I cramp 3 times and had to hop to the side to stretch. And freaking got hungry pangs at my 10km mark. HAHA!
Then this guy had to run in front of me with message glued to his back: "McDonalds' breakfast ends at 10am, so run faster!" I chuckled to myself while dragging my feet to move.

The real test is the fucking long stretch leading to the turning point at nicoll highway. Freaking hot and stamina totally gone. Thats when I had my first calf cramp, ouch! I think I was practically running on the spot, my legs just cannot open wider man! Then..... my greatest motivation came: I smelt BO! Aiyohhhh, I wanna die, so tired already still got BO smell... Dont know who was the culprit, so many people running at the same time. I forced myself to run faster to get fresher air! OH man, cant really blame the person with BO, it's hot, sweaty, wont be suprised got BO smell. But man... really...

But WOO HOOOO finished the whole run, though I definitely took longer than last year. I think last year timing was 2h30 min. This year, I think either 2h40 or 45 min. But the feeling after the race completion is fantastic! though knees totally busted, walked and climbed stairs like crab, it's worth it!!

Next year, full marathon. Hope ah fat can run with me in 2008. YAY!
