i just got back from my cousin's wedding in janda baik... nice holiday home... the wedding was different from the conventional chinese weddings... a little too simple and laid back, i would say... but maybe that's what they want...
had bio pop test in the morning... i had been busy all week and not much time was spent studying... plus i was so tired last night, i just couldn't read my notes... obviously i panicked in the morning! but the test seemed alright... 40 questions in 40 minutes...
since the test ended earlier than i expected (i.e. 1 hr 30 mins), mum picked me and we went to ss2 to do our hair. i decided to get temporary curls... didn't have any photos to show coz by the time i came back from lunch, they were half straightened... but i think they looked quite good... although they weren't in the style i wanted... i wanted curls like kate hudson had in raising helen... i think those are quite high maintainance... anyway, there was so much hair spray in my hair that i felt my head was heavier...
then we headed to tanarimba, janda baik... long journey... winding roads... expensive tolls... reached in time for the tea ceremony... it was not elaborate like other cousins' weddings in the past... it was simple and informal... the view from their house, enderong house, was nice... forests, artificial lake, red-breasted black bird which looked like swallows... insect orchestra...
then we walked down the hill to the lake for the wedding ceremony... it was a long and steep walk... walking in UM did not help prepare me for the task... anyway, the cousins were given the task to pop confetti cannons and bubble guns... and well, that didn't go too well for me... my bubble gun didn't work... how embarrasing!!!!! anyway, back to the ceremony... there was a pastor and we sang hyms and the pastor used their wedding invitation as an analogy and lots of flowery language were used... exchanging of vows was abit funny... LZ said 'yes' instead of 'i do'
... and when S was slotting the ring unto LZ's finger, it couldn't go in...
it was so hot, and we really had a sauna of a time under those white canopies... so we went back to enderong house to change into our dinner wear. i wore my new black dress with a silver sequin sash pinned with a black rose... my hair was a total metted up mess... mum was supposed to be at the registration table but we all came too late... anyway, us cousins had to do the confetti bomb again... and most of the confetti fell into some people's wine glasses!!! hahaha
the dinner was from tai thong... ok la... we sat at table 19 with LW, kevin, ai, her bro and father... ai and her bro are quite the lookers... if you get what i mean... the best man too (eurasian i think)... sounded alot like phillip but anyway... looks like all the lookers have targets or are being targeted... oh well... kekekeke
how nice it would be if one day i found out that someone really good looking, smart, caring etc. was to fall for me... but hahaha... there isn't any such perfect person on this earth ( seemingly on the exterior... but what lies underneath it all will only be revealed with time)... anyway, this is what all girls dream of i guess... so i don't think there is anything wrong in indulging in a little castle in the air musings...
well, anyway... what feelings have i brought home today... i feel that marriage may look like a simple arrangement that you can easily thrust away when you get tired of it... but in actual fact, it is a very important decision that you should make only once in a lifetime and with it carries a frightening uncertain future which can become a wonderful journey if you have the right person beside you... and that 21 or 22 years old is a very unripe age for marriage... you don't even LOOK responsible... so how can you BE responsible... it is the age where you're supposed to be testing the waters of adulthood... no strings attached... just finished the processes of growing up and allowed to enjoy a few years of freedom before being required to sober up and settle down... but then again, this may not apply to all... every case is different because the people involved are different and have different views... so anyway, all the best to all the couples out there and may all the decisions they make be the right ones for their situation in life...
what crap am i talking about here? *sighs and shakes head*
