Hazy Days and Mondays always get me down

The Cupcakes!!


Another hazy day and the NB has flown out of singapore on business, leaving me here to suffer the haze alone. Ok, maybe not realli alone cos I think the WHOLE of singapore is suffering together.

But yes, the haze is getting out of hand. As of now, the PSI has hit like more than 100! I can't see the sea from my office window!!!! OMG.
What I would not give to be where she is now. Although having said that I am a little concerned that she has taken off in this weather.

The weekend went by in a flash, as it always does. It's back to being Monday and the start to a new week. Weekend was good, went for drinks with the usual suspects on Fri night. I hate Truth or Dare, remind me not to ever play it again. Let's just say it's dumb lah. Funny thing was bumping into Chaney there tho. Bein the sweetie he is, he came over to say hello , right in the midst of a round of five ten. haha. But it was nice to see him. Miss your funny face chaney, we seem to see less n less of each other nowadays.
Drank too much, got to bed too late. But nevertheless was a good nite out.

Saturday was spent in class and running off midway for Wen's wedding. Oh it was lovely,been a long time since I've been for a church wedding and it was nice to be back in church for oneand to be part of the whole exchange of vows, i-give-my-life-to-u ceremony. Wedding was lovely, short and sweet, witha nice rendition of Steven Curtis Chapman's I will be Here. Nice. The cathering was great as well, lots of variety of food and the wedding favours were lovely! Two cupcakes decorated to the colour theme of the wedding. Will post pics once I upload them.Later in the night went for Karaoke! My fav! haha.Was one of the boys' birthday so we had a nice time getting him drunk. Maybe boys aren't all that stinky after all, this bunch seem like rite sweeties.

Sunday was great, lazy morning followed by a great round of tennis with the usual foursome.
Scarily, as we were playing, the PSI had crept to unhealthy levels! So it was good that we were back indoors just after two hours of play. Was a nice session, lots of fun and jokes, really appreciate my 'charity' tennis people, they make me lurve the game more and more! Really, there is little I won't forsake for a round of tennis or a session of karaoke at the min.

And It's all over!

Hurray, the wedding went off without a hitch! Well, almost without a hitch.
As I had my saturday class on, I had to miss most of the tea ceremony but went for the all important haggling at the bride's front door. It was rather uneventful tho, cos the groom ended up hurting his arm and the fun came to a premature end when the parents intervened with the house key. sigh.
Nevertheless it was all good fun. The guys were really sporting and it was a relief that at least all the brothers helped to create a good atmosphere and we had alot of laffs.

Dinner went well too. I MCed with one of the "brothers", me doing the english portion and him the chinese. Went alrite, had a couple of funny blunders but most of it went ok.The guests were all pretty punctual and the night ended around 11, which was just nice.The Bride looked lovely and the pics turned out great as well. Everyone had a great time and I think we have forged some new frenships. It's so cliche, makes me think of the SDU adverts of old what with couples hooking up at some fren's wedding. Well, fingers crossed, we'll see what happens.

Oh well, here are some of the pics so far;

All the 'bros' and 'sistas'

Me and the other MC (I know it's a bad pic but well...)

And the one with all the girls

2 days to go....

This is what happens when you are a wedding coordinator to your friend.
It's like 1.37 am and I just got back from her house finishing up the signature board and decorating the money box. Thankfully it's all done and sorted. Well pleased.

So here I am having to leave my house in the dead of the night to go settle these things, having to walk through crazy (read creepy) corridors and lift landings and not to mention a rather large field. Thankfully the field was well lit, which took me by surprise, I was bracing myself for the trek in darkness and being startled by so much as the wind, but nicely there was a HUGE spotlight that made the 'adventure' more than bearable. The bottom of the blocks are a totally different story though. But well, back in one piece safe and sound, save for the fact that I had to walk back cos none of the buses stopped for me. That really pissed me off. The buses just ploughed past my stop which was like 3 stops from my place so I decided to leg it, which is not nice at 1ish in the morning.

Much of the list has been ticked off thankfully. *sigh of relief*

Our Outstanding List
_______________
1) Corsages-sorted to be collected tom
2) Money Box-sorted and nicely done ( will post pics later)
3) Signature Board-done
4) Bridal car -settled
5) Video Montage-still a mystery
6) Table seating-oh well, as usual that is gonna be a big surprise. sigh.
7) Emcee-to be confirmed

At least it is a good thing that the bride has pretty much got her act together as well. There was a slight panic attack with the signature board but although it kinda doesnt really match, it's really quite nice, I reckon.

Oh well, am pleased that things are falling into place, but I suppose given the short notice of about a month or so, this is remarkable. Not withstanding the difficulty in getting the bridal couple to focus. So just keeping my fingers crossed for the BIG day!

Now, all I need to is find a beachy dress for the day ceremony! Oh me and my bright ideas of getting the bride to pick a theme, I'm left with nothing to wear! But am really looking forward to it! It's gonna be such fun!
