Its Christmas! And its also my uncle's pre-wedding party. Or, as he likes to call it, his 'bachelor night'. Starting from tonight,the bride and groom cannot meet untill tomorrow morning. There was a buffet stlyed dinner and ais kacang at my grandma's house. I helped my uncle to scan the photos he needed for his slideshow. His friends and grandpa's beer drinking 'kaki-s' and our relatives stayed until 2 a.m. Chatting, drinking beer, etc. The food was excellent. Fried chicken, curry, bihun, pai-tee, jellies.. yum! Other than eating, i helped my uncle take photos with his new DSLR. I stayed up until 2 a.m. watching 'Santa Clause', and singing 'Twelve days of Christmas' Madagascar style.. with.. my brother. He started singing first, then, i found it catchy and sang along.. :P
26 Dec
Woke up at 7 a.m. Hastily got in the bathroom and changed into a green maxi skirt. All of us had a quick breakfast of curry puffs and milo. Uncle started the ceromony of thanking his parents and bringing them a cup of tea. Then, we hopped into the car and accompanied my uncle to his bride's house. Yep, the normal Chinese tradition. We went in the bride's (my aunt's) house first, and watched as my uncle and his 'heng dai' group did the tasks set my the 'sisters' of the bride. It was hilarious.. and my uncle was syok sendiri, acting crazy in front of the video camera of the professional videographer. He finally got through after giving the 'sisters; angpaus.. And then, the next group of 'sisters' was waiting for him outside the bride's room. He sang a song and they let him through. Then, he got his beautiful bride.. And started the praying and tea ceremony. After the tea ceremony, uncle and aunt went back to grandma's house. Again, prayers and tea ceremony. Then, the ones younger than my uncle got angpaus from him. Including me. I shook hands with them and had to adressed them. 'Niaochyuan', what i normally call my uncle. as for my aunt, his bride, i used to call her 'Diana jie jie'. So, i started asking grandma and the elders on how to address her. Various answers were given. And dad was kinda unhelpful, telling me in Hainanese.. 'kimnion' or whatever he said... I zsettled on 'Ah Kim'. We had lunch, then i went with mum, grandma, grandaunt and a few of my relatives to the hairdresser. They had a hairwash and the hairdresser blow dried their hair prettily. We got back, took a rest and then started to bathe and dress up. I wore a pretty brown dress with polka dots, a gift from my kai-ma. THen, kai-ma came to help with the makeup, and thus, mum and grandma was dolled up. Of all the wonders of the world, they thought of me. And i had makeup on too, the first time since.. i last performed onstage.. Everyone looked like fairies..
We went to the hotel and uh.. 'performed our duties' as the people sitting in front, taking names, showing tables. Me and Hui Jing ah-yi was in charge of showing guests to their tables.
and my brother looked great in his suit, and my cousins looked absolutely pretty.. and i looked kinda idiotic pinning that flower in the middle of my dress..
And for my uncle and aunt's wedding march, they used a Totoro song! which is special and so awesome.. btw both of them love Totoro and it was my uncle who first got the Totoro movie for me to watch when i was little.. :DD
me and my cousins.. if anyone is wondering why i look as red as a beetroot, i had one too many gulps of red wine.. so i look like a beetroot.. In other words , i am improving my blood circulation.. :)

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

"Don't ever let yourself believe that the role you play in the lives of other's is not an important one, especially in the lives of the ones you love and who love you. No matter how big or small that role is, or may seem, it's a very important one, and it is one that only you can play." Don't underestimate yourself. Someone out there may need you. -David Archuleta
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
Every time you see someone in distress, you have the opportunity to work as a team with Heaven's angels. You become the channel for your angels to provide loving care to those in need.-Doreen Virtue
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
- Groucho Marx
"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.
Emily Bronte
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
