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*

My latest craze...
i forgot to mention one important thing in my last post... my latest craze is Flash macromedia!!! i want to learn how to do flash!!! and for the moment, i'll try learning it on my own... hope that'll turn out good! if anyone out there can help me with this, i'd be so happy!!! i'm still learning from the help area of the program... and i've discovered there's alot of online tutorials available too!!! yahooo... i hope i'll be able to incorporate some flash into the YV power point presentation for the opening ceremony...
holiday mood again
it's been quite an eventful period from my last post, but as usual, i don't really have the mood to post anything now... perhaps it'll come when i get the ball rolling...
err... i guess not... started this post on the 11th and till now (later in feb), i'm still not done... hahaha... sometimes i feel i have to guard what i write here... coz you never know who might stumble across it and feelings might be hurt etc.
well, let me think... last week i was busy with the AIESEC branding campaign in UM... we were supposed to be tagging along with the WTTW people... and we were supposed to take turns (or better, be there) for the 4 days of the roadshow... but somehow, some people did not even come for a single session and others (especially my group) were kind of pressured and black-mailed to come... it really isn't fair!!! seems like the less you show face, the less work you'll be given and nobody would notice that you didn't do jack shit!!! but i can't do that... my principles just wouldn't allow it... feeling guilty of irresponsibility would do me more harm than good...
it's the 10th of march today... and i hope i can finish this post today... so i've been quite busy all this while and alot, and i really mean ALOT of things have happened in the past month... let me just start with the aiesec branding campaign in UM... i feel quite bad because my department (merchandising) didn't really have anything substantial to show... we didn't have any merchandise to sell!!! we had some sponsored coloured flyers from dominoes and printed mini organizer booklets (which was quite pathetic because it costed too much and had typo errors) and supposedly, stickers (which i only saw during our meeting but never saw during the campaign). well, perhaps it was my fault? couldn't get the companies to sponsor... not to mention our department had to do marketing calls on the week right before our campaign started... we were totally unprepared...
overall, i would say it was passable... not really what i expected... thinking back, i really don't know why i joined branding... and of all departments, merchandising... anyway, we went to linguistic fac, fpp, kps, 7th college, 9th college and 12th college... our main problem for the roadshows was that nobody (OCs) wanted to be at the booth... i commited myself to about 8 hours spread out among the 3 days... and i have a feeling some people weren't too happy about that... what about the other people who didn't come for the roadshows let alone our meetings??? and why the double standard treatment during the roadshows where only mei lin and i were kept being pressured to go around talking to people about aiesec while giving out the flyers? while the others (cronies i guess) could just hang around the booth and chat amongst themselves and just pass out flyers whithout uttering a single word?... lesson learnt is that you can get away with anything if ur a sweet talker and of course looks helps a great deal too...
well at least that's over... i don't need to hide from the cat anymore... it was getting really annoying... anyway, i went to career path 2006 in dtc, um last week and it was ok... probably would've been more interesting if we were looking for a job... there were booths by motorola, nestle, kassim chan delloite, lots of jobstreet-like booths and insurance agents etc... btw, career path (cp) was originally an aiesec project but when it got quite successful in previous years, UM decided to take over the project... so this years' cp was organised by UM...
i went for the window to the world fair today in dtc... and it was great!!! they had food stalls selling outback steakhouse burgers, kyrgiistan food, brazillian food, vietnamese food, thai food etc... and they had booths from many countries like turkey, bosnia-herzegovina (where we tried the extremely sweet baklava), germany, japan, korea, nepal, france (alliance francais), spain... and we practically saw the whole aiesec lcum there! and there was the aiesec mc there too... i just wonder how these people don't have classes back in their uni? some more engineering!!! anyway i liked wttw better than cp06... it was so funny, when we walked in, we knew all the people at the registration counter (from nlds) and we started hearing familiar voices ass the mc... it was rene (the dj) and mawar (the mc for the opening ceremony)!!!
ok it's 3a.m. i think i better go to sleep... have an appointment with the orphanage tomorrow morning for Young Visionaries stuff... i noticed this whole post is about aiesec stuff... weird!!!
