the one with another wedding
preamblealarm sets off 6am...
groggy bee switches it off hoping to wake up in 15 min...
didn't happen obviously and she overslept till 745am...oh fuck
woke up in flurry of panic, smsed the other half to tell him she can't make it in time to his home at 830am to store the clothes for later half of day, told him that she's headed to wesley church direct...
made stupid rash decision of asking pseudo master at home for a ride to the church...
decided to back out after the master pulled a black face for his daughter's frequent LAST MIN requests...oh whatever...
hopped into cab 9am thinking she's late in meeting the other half and the family at wesley at "9am"...
arrived at wesley to discover to her horror that the family's only meeting at 1030am, not 9am...
glumness surrounded her as she sat alone at YMCA mackers with no book, no music, no one but two hashbrowns and plenty of mozzies (she sat near the fucking plants)...
the other half arrives and all anger miraculously disappeared...
beautiful service, short and sweet, for the first time she actually enjoyed listening to the reverend.
lunch buffet was HOT and to her amazement, she saw many eager guests trying to melt icecream by placing the entire dessert box on the floor right under the sun (huh??)
main course
dinner was great (to her) though many complained of the hot air conditioning at raffles town club. loved listening to uncle yan kee's military stories as well as uncle jason's ugly pitch experiences. thoroughly entertaining. laura busied herself with the musician who played twinkle twinkle little start just for her. aww. the other half was the designated angpow guard as usual. me thinks its his size (height) that gives people second thoughts bout stealing anything...
afterword
went back to other half's place and for the first time (again) in the few weeks managed to find some time to exchange their thoughts on certain things, was the loveliest moment ever. read her book and caught up on blog readings while the other half was finishing up the competition. vetted the copy and am now crossing her fingers that he wins. headed home and fell exhausted on bed...that was their saturday.
