Yvonne's Wedding

It's been a pretty busy and intense weekend...just packed to the brim. Yesterday was Yvonne's wedding....she's a dear friend from sec sch. I was one of the sisters in her entourage, so I had to wake up at freaking 5.45am for the traditional sabo-the-groom-games and tea ceremony!! (Michelle has never woken up that early since JC days mind you) And we had to follow the bride until 11pm at night.

A pretty tiring day, but it was quite touching as it was a celebration of love not just between the wedding couple, but between generations of family members, and between friends (feels very 'Love Actually!). We were exchanging smses, and I told Yvonne that it's been 14 yrs of friendship already. Wow! :) She was saying that she really appreciated our help and company through the wedding...and that 'friends make all the difference'. I couldn't agree more. :)

Some things never change though....when we arrived in her hotel room, the first thing that came out was "DUDDDDDEEE, you're getting married!!" Which was received with an enthusaistic "Yeah, DUDDDEEE is getting married!!" haha! (Amazingly, this bride was running around in some football jersey and camo berms just before her make-up session, to sneak a quick meal of chix tenders at BK. We offered to buy for her, but she just couldn't wait. haha! It's just so typical Yvonne.)

Anyway..that's not the end of my weekend. Today I had classes as usual, and a band meeting with Jon, Nigel, Oli n Jason at Timbre. The band playing at Timbre was unbelievably bad...I dunno their name, but it was just super zao sia, loud and nasal singing...or rather screaming. :( Michelle was traumatised to bits. The look on Jon's face was quite priceless....I've not seen his eyes so big and his jaw drop like that before. HAHA! Yeah, we should hv gone to the Art House branch where E.I.C was playing.

Tmrw (Sun) is the BMI zoo outing!! So look out for more pics i guess. Mon is the start of a brand new term....God grant me strength!!
