Someone's married
[ 7:11 pm ] So ... my best friend is married. Another one bites the dust ... kidding :P I thought it was a lovely wedding affair and perhaps for the first time in my life, I know how it really feels to be part of the joy. It's not something that I've been feeling a lot lately, and it's really different when it's someone that's so close to you that's getting married. I had the opportunity to meet their families, it's really interesting looking at other people's family sometimes. I find that Eric's siblings are just so different from him, particularly the elder brother. I guess most first born are rebels :P You know how some weddings that you go to, sometimes you feel out of place and not really in your comfort zone? It wasn't like that for his wedding, granted that I only knew a handful of people, but that didn't bother me. It was my best friend's wedding afterall. How was the reception that night? Honestly, my mood was a little spoilt on the way to the hotel due to the road closure and massive Saturday traffic AND on top of that, I was a little late for the rehearsal. I don't like to be late for anything ... but you know what? Why spoil the day, huh? I kept on telling myself to just chill and enjoy the day. Of course there were technical issues throughout the night ... the video file was corrupted, but good thing I brought my thumbdrive along. I forgot to unmute TL's DVD video of the day shoots on the video ... and it was too late to do anything about it. Bleh ... I didn't realise part of the bestman's duty was to follow the groom every table to Yam Seng! Didn't touch a drop of whisky until we went to the table where his brother and sister was sitting. "BEST MAN HAVE TO DRINK!" When presented with this, what are your choices? How do you escape? Eric had to down a strong glass while TL and I had to do the same. You know, sometimes I really don't know what to do. Down it and escape! We managed to dodge the second glass. I think after that table he was a little wobbly :D After the reception, the bridal party decided to check out Hard Rock Cafe ... yeah, I went. Always wanted to know how's it like in HRC. We manage to enter without cover charge since we had the hotel keys with us. My only thought for the night was, don't get drunk and stay sober. I think I had enough experiences as my guide ... so I ordered a glass of Mojito instead, much to the teasing of the bridesmaids, but meh, doesn't really bother me, I'm secured :) Best to keep your head screwed tightly on your shoulder than to let your ego run around. But you know what? I really had fun, like good honest fun. It didn't matter that I only got to know them only recently. Really cool bunch of people and I don't mind hanging out with them again. Doreen has really good friends and I can see that. HRC was ok, I thought the live band was awesome. Come on, how many bands out there can play Muse? They did very well. Eric said TL and I could just get a room at the hotel at his expense if we were too tired to drive back. Nah, we didn't want to, besides I don't think it was worth it. The bridesmaids said they didn't mind sharing the room with the both of us ... I was a little taken aback by this. I told them, I actually do mind hahahaha. Very tempting, but no ... not the right thing to do, even if it's only sleeping on the floor. Anyways we decided to call it a night and ... I got home at 4.30 after sending TL off. Haven't really partied till this late for many years now and no, this isn't going to be a habit. I'm just too old for this now. Once in a while it's ok ... just not all the time. It will suck the life out of you. We're thinking of organising a little farewell potluck for the both of them, but I find it hard to arrange anything when they don't even know when they are leaving the country. In the meantime, I'll just figure out what to make ... I had a dream last night. Wait, it could be a nightmare ... I dunno. I dreamt I had a pet Shitzu. What the heck. I don't know why in that dream I loved that dog, which I shouldn't because I love cats. What kind of nonsense dream is this. So finally, how am I? I think it's important once in a while to just ask how you're doing. Most of the time, I don't know. Who am I kidding? Actually I perfectly know how I'm doing. What's it like to take a plunge into the unknown? Hahaha ... gonna be trying something that I've not done before. The only sane reason that's not stopping me is, 'why not?' Yeah, why not? Until there is a reason not to, I suppose you might just try, right? Let's see how this goes. 0 comments Archives nothing |
