Went for my batch girl's wedding on Sat...
A moment with the Bf..Who made the dinner so much more fun...
Until my ex-colleague exclaimed... "eh yr bf damn gossipy hor!?"
What can I say... he's somewhat a male version of me lor...
My misfortune??? ;p
That's why I always say, Be Careful what you wish for laR.
Gayle n moiShe's absolutely glowing...
And when her groom went down on his knees n sang Adam Sandler's "I Wanna Grow Old with You" from the Wedding Singer n made a sweet speech... she was so touched she teared..
U other guys there might think it's too damn showy to be real lar... like wat the Bf tot...
But u know.... Girls r jus suckers for such shit....
I din think much bout it then... til after the dinner when the wine's all got to my head...
N it scares me that everyone goes thru the motion of The Wedding Dinner with little or no emotions...
Will mine be a little outta the ordinary?? Anything memorable? Or jus a drag...
After all.. it's a once in lifetime sorta thing...
If it ain't gonna be good, I rather not get married.
Do I sound naive saying this?
I just had to text my Von... n told her the events I witnessed tt night... reminding her that we both were afraid of crying at Adi n Co's wedding. What if it's only other pple's wedding which touches us ever?? n not our own? How how?
Thoughts thoughts thoughts....
I had to talk bout them.... SO i went down to Sara to find her lar...
She remembered Gayle from this...
When she came down to join me at Bala when my batch tried to org a gathering...
That was also the nite I knew she was engaged...
N we all oohed n arrrhhhed at her huge bling bling...
Actually, we all remembered her bling bling...
N when Von remarked offhandedly "Yar lar... can tell the guy loves her alot lar.."
I couldn't help but wonder...
Is the size of a man's love for his girl measured in carats??
:D
Like seriously... I know when I look at other girls' engagement rings... or my gfs' ones n there is this silent-I-can't-help-it!!!- sizing up on the size thingy lar...
Pee-sai stones R jus....... non inspirational... or so I think...
Hey hey... im sure i ain't the only person who think this way lor...
it's jus typical mah.
Among friends.... of cos not comparing to the Hollywood kinda showy-rings-then-divorce-later kinda thingy... I seriously think having huge bling blings COULD be a measure of the guy's love.
So let's say the girl is not dating a billionaire, sometimes probably jus averagely rich... when the guy works n saves for the big ring which he thinks his lady deserves, n he considers it a meaningful investment, n within his means....... Yar........ so i think men like this r practical... but not too such tt he puts anything b4 the lady lor. He is also romantic.... cos he thinks its worthwhile..
Hmmm... therefore I think, yes... carats R a way of measuring a man's love.
I know this sounds shallow...
But it's jus that way lor...
Otherwise why do pple oooh n ahhhh at huge nice shiny solitaires...
N then they ask "Wah yr fiance is a tow kay ah!" or they jus wonder what job the guy work as... or if he's from a rich family to begin with...
Depending on the answer.... the silent judgement in the head is processed...
Sigh.... So wat happens to the not so well-to-do guys ah?
Slapping 20k on a decent diamond is obscene.
And the last I checked while Mummy Day shopping... a good grade solitaire measuring barely 0.75 carat from Lee Hwa is easily 30k.
So let's say u compromise on the quality for the size... which i think is a no-no...
It still will cost like wat... 15k at least?
Add that to the cost of the wedding... dinner, gowns, photographers, bleah bleah bleah...
I told Von... "Wah lan.... if I a guy i think I die le lar... How to get married... so bloody ex"
But her reply "Of cos wat.... this is a once in a lifetime thingy... want to do then do properly one mah"
N I agree... cos if the girl's deserve it... the guys better do it properly oh! ;D
N i so remember wat Deniz told me once... "eh next time u get married dun get rings with the point-something-point-something ah"
"but it's really v ex lei" I protested
He insisted "No no... jus whole numbers... it's either 1 carat or 2 carat.... no point something!"
"oh oh.. ok..." i nodded sheepishly...
Well well... /; )

Dog Grooming Lesson #4
Got to deal with an incorrigible Maltese puppy before being sent to help out with a Chow Chow...
Before scissoring...
The After...It's devilishly cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can't help it!!!!
It's texture n size n pouffeness is like dat of pillow... a fluffy pillow...
Can sleep on it...
Aiyah.. must see it n touch it to believe it...
Too bad it's damn high maintenance... need to keep in air con when the temperature goes up.
Thats prob the reason why u hardly see Chow Chows in Sin...
Chows chows r like a groomer's nitemare...
the blowdrying took like FOREVER...... even with my help at the end....
n the fur... so thick... so thick!!!!!!!!!! ;O
I swear there r like a million fur pores in a milimeter square on the Chow Chow...
