wedding

It was my brother’s wedding dinner yesterday. Been pretty busy the past few days before that. And I am supposed to have an essay test tomorrow which I did not even prepare since I was so busy during the weekend. Instead of reading today (I skipped school today, yippee!!), I slept the whole day like a pig. Slept three times!! Got up 11.30am this morning, slept again at 1.30pm and got up at 5.30pm, then slept again at 6.50 to wake up at 8.30. Ahhahahahha!! Can you imagine how many hours I slept?? I don’t know whether it’s fatigue or just plain boredom.

My aunt’s family came from Singapore on Saturday afternoon. I was asleep (yes, I was sleeping AGAIN) when they arrived but I awoke to the commotion downstairs. So I went into the bathroom to splash some water on my face before stepping out of my room. Once I stepped out, I was shocked to find my nephew standing outside my room, admiring my brother’s collection of Spawn figurines. I didn’t expect anyone to be there. He was cheerful and he said “hi.” I said hi too and he asked “party hard yesterday eh?” I laughed and said yes. Gosh, if any he has grown more charming than I ever remembered. He was thinner and oh, by the way he’s Kenneth. I am so hoping he doesn’t stop by here or I’ll never know where to hide my face.

Kenneth’s mom and aunt wanted to go shopping so I was picked as the tour guide. Brought them to klcc and Midvalley by lrt and I can’t help noticing how some girls were looking at Kenneth when we walked past. Wanna know how Kenneth looks like? Think of Wang Lee Hom when he was younger, when he had short hair. He’s almost as tall as Lee Hom coz he’s as tall as my father and my father is 6 feet tall. So yeah, he’s just oozing with handsome-ness! Hahahahha… he’s my nephew… can you believe it? He’s 20 this year. Past years, we didn’t talk much but this time around, we spent quite some time together and we had lotsa laughs. He has a great sense of humour too. Perfect? Too bad he’s already taken girls! And he’s a real sweet guy. His girlfriend is entering University soon so she complained that the lecture hall is cold and so he comes to KL to buy a jacket for her. I mean, how sweet is that?

Okay, now that that’s done, I’ll focus more on the day of the wedding dinner thingy. I’ll try to focus. Well, yesterday morning got up at close to eight to prepare for the welcoming bride ceremony. Got ready at around 10 and wore my newly acquired black pants and topped it off with a green singlet and lip-gloss. Instead of standing among the crowd to welcome the bride, I was FORCED (notice how I emphasised the word, forced?) to play the piano. Like anyone is going to pay attention when I played the piano? Everyone was so noisy and excited but at least my step brother was pretty supportive. He said “I share your pain, Caryn.” I was touched in a way but still pissed nevertheless. Thank god Walter calmed me down. I was almost on the verge of tears, angry tears that is. I’m glad he was there to calm me down. I needed that.

After all the hoo ha, went to the salon to get all made up. Had my hair done which kinda reminds me of the 70’s fashion. Then got my eyebrows shaped (ouch!) and make up done. I don’t know if I look pretty or anything but I swear I look different. Those who have seen me when I was damn plain will know how different I look. Well, I’ll see if I can show you guys my photo. I did not have a picture of myself alone because after all I am not the star of the show. I reached home at almost 5.30 to get ready to go to the restaurant. I was supposed to be receptionist. Sat down to have dinner only when the dishes were out just to find out, my place was taken!! No empty slots for me!! But my cousins were kind enough to quickly scoot over and put a place up for me. Well, I’ve received some pretty flattering comments about me and Kenneth was like “wow!” while grinning at me when he saw me. Hahahahha, he was real cute.

I think that’s all that can be said. The dishes were nice and the songs were relaxing. The atmosphere in general was relaxing as we did not allow any karaoke singing. My sister in law was stunning of course. Hey, she’s the bride and all brides are beautiful on their wedding day! My dad was drunk but he managed to drive home safely and it seemed that he was too overwhelmed by happiness that he cried, saying “my son’s is married.”…. Awww, I’ve never seen or heard him cry before. So, I ended up with another addition to the family!

Take care peepz!
