today we attended yuling and andy's wedding. it was sweet and succint and so many familiar faces were there from the overlapping of groups of friends - bren, sab, huini, jo dong, and mingyao's friends who have become very familiar over the years. it's the beginning of the on slaught of weddings to attend but i'm always happy for the individual couples because it's so surreal, like how when i was young only 'adults' got married, but when it's my friend i realise what a wonderful thing this 'getting married' stuff is and means and i feel genuinely happy for these friends.

well, we were early so we actually went to do some grocery shopping at the supermarket before the wedding. also, invented secret arm-finger code.

this morning i went to my mother's place and added a little violet-brown highlights to my hair. and bought edward said's 'orientalism' from borders which came in such a nice shiny smooth cover. it's a new 25th anniversary edition. it smells very new. gah. i must go read it lars.
