woot! finally over! haha.. ok lar.. not the kinda "finally" of something that i hate to do.. like sch or boring army days... but more of peace with myself.. haha.. yeap didnt screw up or anything lar.. actually quite simple to emcee.. except got ppl you know ar.. then alot of background noise when you talk make me slightly more nervous.. but well me and my partner did ok.. the wedding was a success too.. timely and not too draggy like some other weddings.. kudos to the brothers and sisters man~~
it was a early morning yesterday.. got some stuff prep.. then my bro came over to have his hair combed by my grandma who was so happy... then off he went to fetch the bride as we set up the place for the tea ceremony.. relatives.. the seniors and the young and naughty ones too.. even broke one of my bean bag i've been keeping for years.. haiz.. no choice but to throw it away... even got my toe nail stumped in when my dad and i were carrying a heavy sofa and whacked its heavy weight down... was really angry.. but well.. accidents happen and its supposed to be a happy day so i didnt complain or throw a tantrum or anything...
the traditional tea ceremony
muHaha my first ang bao from my brother!
even the hamsters are in love!
after that we got a short break before we headed to safra mount faber as we did some final coordination with the tenchinian and music ic as well as some funny dry runs..
then the crowd came mostly at 7.30pm.. really punctual as compared so some other weddings.. then we kicked off with my role and my fellow mc huijun as emcee.. it all ran smoothly with a near disaster that the 2 emcees spotted the wedding cake about to drop.. loLx! after the yum sengs we went ard taking photos with every table.. met some old family friends and their frenz and all..
we are the EmcEes foR tonight!
my pRoud parents!!
the lovely couplE~~ arrh so jealous! loLx
was a really fun ride and all being the emcee.. being the brother of the newly wed... had funny conversations like how they thought my parents were cerebrating their wedding anniversary too.. or like how i look like a groom too.. playing ard with the kids.. or how my mom tried to engage me to some of her frenz daughters.. although many moments i felt really lonely as there was only a handful of ppl i knew there and could relate to other than my family.. even after it ended i kinda felt like my role as emcee wasn't much appreciated either.. loLx..
niCe staiRs with roSe peTaLs
oh well what can i say.. i'm really proud and happy for my brother.. really share the joy with my parents too.. but it kinda places pressure on me too.. loLx.. but as i told many relatives i think the earliest i can tie the knot is somewhen at 27 or 28 ba.. after everything i went back to my bros house as he was alittle too drunk after everything then dropped by li hua's 21st bdae party cum mahjong session.. loLx.. stayed till like 3am before i had to retire as fatigue crept in..
so shiok lor.. just went dinner with my family and my brother and da sao going korea tml.. so good.. JEALOuS! loLx.. honeymoon.. *daydreams* did alittle cny shopping too and bought a few clothes plus a jacket.. just a few more cny clothes to buy then i guess my wardrobes pretty prepped and ready.. as jan 2007 comes to an end i also added some pics i took earlier at derrick/wenlongs bdae and with my st gabs classmates for their 21st bdaes!!

first it was MLM... complete scam if you ask me... guiltless scamming of people to suit your needs while dreaming of a totally unrelated dream of richness... how it found itself to be legal in our world i really wonder... maybe coz its the extent of how man eat away at each other... but because of the 'networking' effect it strikes ppl deeper like myself... my conscience is too strong to even hear or be part of this scam...
then a new scam arouse recently.. have you ever received a sms asking you abt horoscopes and love predictions and all? ever read to the bottom before deleting the message? it writes "if you do not wish to subscribe, pls reply n to ****" so being the typical person lazy to read junk you click delete and woot.. you get horoscopes, loev predictions sent to you every few days... oh well must be free since i didnt sign up for it.. then your bill comes and wella... $40-$80 from premium SMSes.. weeeh~!! more than your subscription and calls too! OMFG.. who sent me all this message? wait i'm using Singtel/Starhub/M1s handphone!! *calls and f***s telco*
well.. so what happens if you say you didnt sign up for it? "oh, you didnt reply to the message so its considered that you were interested, and the charges are valid but we can terminate your subscription from now on" welcome to the world man... scams seem to be earning quite abit of revenue in our market today eh? scrapping off the weaknesses of people.. its almost an old joke "who wants deming to pay for the meal put down your hands!".. thankfully i only heard of such things but should they ever try it on me.. i think its time i placed my name in the forum page of Straits Time....

arrhh as the my original job contract gonna end at the end of this month.... more things seem to be coming up to me... unfortunately with work committment further on... it seems planning things will be just as tough.... just went to wenlong and derricks 21st bdae parties few days back at ECP.. feels little nostalgic but boring at times to have 21st bdaes in chalets... but well i guess nostalgia had the better of me and finally decided to have mine in a chalet as well...
to me chalet isnt too bad coz can have diff days for diff ppl.. like my relatives.. my frenz.. my family... away from work worries.. away from house chores... its fun once in a while.. but also its important to be caring for the guests as a big event might cause ppl to get neglected.. and i dont blame them.. theres so many ppl even i am cracking my head to think of what i can do for my guests... meanwhile a guest list seems imminent..
which brings on to my second event.. my brother's wedding this sat.. if only he didnt make me the master of ceremony i wouldnt be so concerned.. loLx.. but one night i had nightmare that i lost my script and didnt know what to say.. haha.. with that nightmare on i decided to take my job more seriously.. as it maybe a free labour to me.. but its a lifetime thing for my brother.. =]
then comes another event.. alumni.. canoeing alumni~~ now with mr tan changed to another cca as teacher it became harder to liason and i guess its time to meet up with the new teachers and the new team.. but after so long of non activity its hard enough to influence myself to do something for the alumni.. much less to get those less involved ppl in too... hopefully can work something out soon...
then comes my own plans.. it seems my pals arent too comfortable to go overseas just yet coz of safety and also finiancial worries.. guess i'll hold my overseas trip with them.. maybe i'll go with my 1s10 classmates.. haha they seem more keen and regardless of their safety.. haha.. then one of my colleague so happened to be attending hip hop classes at old school which reminded me of another thing i wanted to do.. to learn dancing.. hmm... guess i really gotta sit down and plan all these things..
but first.. its my brothers wedding! hope i do a good enough job.. hahaz.. got my suit le.. first time got suit that fits me sia.. =} only prob is this tummy.. haha.. mission to lose my tummy before wedding = failed... >.< *SUCK IT IN~~* loLx... hopefully can meet up with some of my old pals.. work kinda pulled me out of my social life for some time already... feel quite lonely and bored these few days...

well... a cliche phrase ppl normally associate to naive / born-rich / swines / dumb f***s people... yeah thats what i also think so.... just like the other day in the office when i was talking to my colleagues abt our first pay... my instinctive reply was 'yeah rite...' then when i start thinking of how to spend my largest pay drawn ever in my life.. *more than LTA wor.. hehZ* i was thinking between scringing.. or 'splurging'
then looking back i think.. instead of both.. i'll SPEND WISELY hahaz... i'm nv the one to splurge.. thrifty but whenever i see sometihng worth using money on i nv much hesitated.. maybe thats why some frenz actually view me as a large spender... etc etc... but instead of just saving everything.. i feel compared to the pain of parting with a sum of cash against the sense of satisfaction.. i feel the latter will feel best...
like when i treat my parents to dinner... buy my pals a drink... spend money on gifts... it all pains me finiancially.. but the smiles and joy.. company and friendship.. arent they things in the world worth spending on? instead of carrying on my monotonous save and save for "something" i think its well time for me to enjoy spending money for myself...
definitely a part of my pay will go to parents... then the rest into my 'vacation' stash... thanks to fabby and kl i finally took the hesitant step... LETS GO TAIWAN!! haha.. of coz i first to ask would be my classmates.. being the most steady guys.. also feel like asking my canoe pals.. but dunnoe if they will feel awkward with the mix.. arr!! im so excited!! loLx
with such thoughts filling my head i think i should carry on with my current job.. pays good.. might be miserable at times.. but well... to be able to have such excited thoughts and all.. makes it worthwhile!!!

nope.. that aint warrant officer 1.. but its warning order 1.. loLx.. just got the timetable for 27th Jan 2007... its amazing how organized it is.. almost reminds me of some warning order we had for ops.. loLx.. of coz not as professional.. but quite close lar.. >.< never knew weddings were this complicated.. besides i only been to the dinner part of it.. visiting houses, toasting, fetching ppl.. its almost a S4 nightmare.. loLX.. sure looks fun though...
oh yah... today our boss asked us if we want to extend coz she needs a handful of ppl more for other roles... stuck between 2 options for a 9 months contract part time role to a full time role for unknown duration i guess i'll take up the latter.. see whether i am good enough to be retained not.. hahaz... if not i can splurge the rest of my holidays already..
and yeah.. i really gotta start planning on where to go for holidays... then i start ask friends if they're keen.. between taiwan or bangkok what you all think? bangkok will be super value for money.. but its dangerous with those bombs and doesnt have pretty women.. maybe pretty woMANs though.. loLx... think i should hit lonelyplanet webby to check any budget tour routes to take for either...
and yar.. so many 21 bdaes coming like all of a sudden.. not to be evil or anything.. suddenly when someone hits 21.. he/she seems to remember every single friend and invites them.. lolx.. dunnoe coz they really gian to meet up again or they are trying to increase the inputs for the birthday presents.. lolx.. got 2 coming up next sat.. then another one on the 27th.. but too bad cant attend that one as its my bro's wedding day! loLx.. save 1 less present to buy... oh well im not stingy really.. its just.. loLx.. i nv DO get presents from any of my friendz.. so i think i learnt to keep my wallet more to myself nowadays.. hehz

hahaz.. dear 2007.. do be kind to me.. i forgot to make another resolution.. hahaz.. i need to lose weight!! omG.. its only 19 days to my bro's wedding and im still having a belly.. oh gawd.. i cant imagine how lousy my motivation is... i really need to shape up not just for the wedding but also before the fats consolidate.. and become.... .. . . . . . . .
ok i best not imagine it.. hahaz.. but well... i'm gonna start from tml onwards!! work is really much more draining than i sought.. or i just lack the pressure or stress.. but with the wedding drawing close i guess its enough motivation to get my a** moving.. coz after the wedding.. my job would also finally come to an end.. then comes my huge training program cum travel program.. but i feel really insecure.. as much as i want to go with frenz.. there doesnt seem to be a steady bunch of pals willing to go with me... haiz...
i just need to escape this melancholy of life in singapore.. been longing to travel since i entered army.. travel to countries not for military exercises but as a sinful tourist.. loLx.. but i guess if no one is keen to go with me... its better to irk off my last few days of being 20 in singapore...
HEY MAN i'm gonna be 21!! --__--|| i just feel so monotonous..
