oh no, i just remembered that i haven't paid steph back for her 2 bucks!
oops!! sorry!

anyways, today has been a day for knitting, and horlicks. not much else went on today. *yawns* but sunday and tuesday were fun...

sunday: went to two weddings. not much fun about that, except for looking at fabulous wedding decorations.

The first wedding was my mum's brother's adopted family's wedding for their daughter, and it was fabulous! The father of the bride is a chef at suntec city, so the food was fantastic.

He and his siblings made all the food themselves, and it was totally hotel/restaurant fare: A long table just for desserts (more than 20 types!), and a separate table for food! There were fruit tarts, and quiches, and little hors'deurs (if that's how u spell it), and cheese cake, and traditional malay kuehs, and loads more! My plate was full even before i reached the other half of the table. (i never did get the chance to walk the entire length of the tabel; no space in my tummy). The main course was nice; black pepper fish, and fried kway teow, and i-don't-know-what-else. Dessert definitely outshone it, though.

And although the wedding was typical void-deck style, it was decorated so nicely- chandeliers, and coloured lengths of cloth spruced up the ceiling. Round tables, chairs with satin and gauze covers were used, and the dias was... woah! It looked like some rich person's living room, lol. The entertainment was not typical karaoke. No, they had traditional malay art forms- dikir barat, and malay dance. Fabulous(except... it was a bit crowded...)

Phew, that is one long description. The second wedding was typical, except the dias was the pretty flower-garden-gazebo type. Lesser variety of food though.

tuesday: DFS ice-skating outing!
yay! with dan and steph, went to kalland ice-skating rink. and man, it was so cold that you could see the water vapour just swirling in the air! and it was pretty thick, too. You could barely see the other side of the rink. It was so fun; dan tried to teach us this two-foot spin thingie, but we couldn't spin... but dan was in her element! so nice to watch! well, at least steph and i learned to swizzle and twizzle (or something like that)

then it was off to the esplanade for photo-taking op. I'd forgotten to bring my camera :( so i just knitted in that darn hot sun. We tried to take a photo of the three of us jumping in the air. It took many shots, and many unglam photos (me, particularly), but we made it in the end. yay-ness!

after that, a little unwinding at mrs fields, where we had orangina and two snapples. and then it was off to home

i wanna go ice-skating again! But the three of us are finding it hard to coordinate our schedules. aww... steph's in melbourne now, then next week i'm off to hong kong, and the week after that dan's off to bangkok. Darn. Then after that there's the rush to finish all our homework...

oh well, maybe next year?
