my cousin's very simple wedding


perhaps it was because i was not feeling too well that's why the whole thing seemed very simple to me. i was mostly in-and-out of the "zone" and did not notice too much :)

my job was to get well enough (since i was ill from that tuesday) to be at marine parade by 8am to pick up the bride and the groom. i only left home at 8 and reached the car park at 8.15. no one was in a hurried mode. everything was "take it easy".

my cousin and her husband loaded the few bottles of wine, their shoes, gowns and a bag, plus another plastic bag of food, and we're on our way to four seasons.

the make-up girl arrived shortly after we checked into the room. sharon had one hour to make up and then we planned to go down to the lobby to take some pictures. while the making-up was in process, me and HK had breakfast. then i took a few pictures of the rings before heading down to recce the area. (the make-up girl asked me, "did you teach at damai?" omg! but that's another story.)

by 1130 we ditched the room and headed to the 20th floor. there were only 6 tables, 3 each for the groom and the bride. it was all quite blissfully simple.

the couple is enjoying themselves at phuket right now. i wish them good health, and a very happy marriage.

病了

生病真不是一件好玩的事。连病四天,我简直是病疯了。

发烧的时候整个人缩成一团,在被窝里打滚。我好想说生不如死,但我知道那又太说不过去。

这次生病,我对“晚安”有了新的认识。半夜里体弱无力,无助又无能的感觉真的很凄凉。

晚上能睡个好觉,是福气。
