deathcab for cutie's new album's third song 'no sunlight' sounds a little like 'the shins'!. slightly, not as edgy as 'the shins'. if the latter came to singapore i'd definately wanna catch them.

last saturday my second sister/roommate for twenty seven years got married. she looked so nice in her gown and make up and it was nice to see her so happy. she was fetched from my grandparents' home a few minutes away from ours, and if i didn't see wrongly i saw my grandmother tear the way she did when ee jie left for the states to study, because this is the first marriage of any of her grandchildren. there's this kampung feel about my grandmother's home even though it's not literally like that - the mosaic floors, metal laced lamps, the gardens outside. i think i walked too fast down the aisle in church, i was too anxious about walking too slow! it's so beautiful to get married in the sanctuary because i grew up there and it's a church with beautiful light and a long aisle. ee jie was the host and my younger sister played the piano after touching down the night before from melboune. a pity my brother was confined in army - they didn't let him out. if only he went in a week later. i shall shower him with lots of goodies when i visit him in the ocs camp this sunday, the sweet boy, and write him a letter - haven't replied to the weekly letters that he started writing a few weeks ago to his siblings.

the day before i was rushing out a model and dashing twenty four seven to purchase flowers ( so risky, white roses! they didn't have the big china ones, so i bought the more expensive ones from ecuador, because the ones from vietnam are so small) and squeezing in a manicure and pedicure with my sisters and mom nearby at holland village where i fell alseep because i went late because i was preparing the flowers for raymond to pick up and my siblings went back to the salon. i don't know why my cuticles dry up so badly after a manicure. it always happens! we had dinner with cousin david from new york and uncle kee from thailand.

it was the first time other than chinese new year where all my relatives were all gathered at one place at the restaurant. my parents looked like they had fun mingling amongst friends and relatives. siew jie has moved out of the house and this weekend i'm gonna have to reorganise my room. more wardrobe and book space! i think mingyao fell asleep. he's on skype but he's not replying. i had lunch with him today at circular road. more like he had lunch with friends already but he came to have a drink with me while i ate.

this weekend is sleep weekend. hui is back but i have to go kl on wed and thurs and fri she leaves. grrr. i will have to date her on monday or tuesday. hui! let's go shopping on tuesday!

zzz.
