The Red and White

Skipped school on Friday as it was my Sis' Wedding...

A busy and tired day.....

And i received lots of ang baos - from opening of the car door, fetching my sis from the groom's house, serving tea etc. The most was 7 packets just for fetching my sis - a Teochew tradition..

Anyway, the dinner was at Holiday Inn Hotel. Saw many old neighbours and some i couldnt quite remember. They couldnt recognise me too. Afterall, it has been at least 10 years.

And i felt awkward with the way i dressed. Haha... Because i didnt wear those standard formal suit just like the immediate families but a "more than semi-formal, less than formal" way. Ha, sorry no pictures.

Think white shirt, blue-silver patterned tie, blackish-stripe blazer with jeans and my usual white shoes coupled with my coloured hair.

And i was told i look like my brother-in-law from a few people. Hmmmm....

Dinner was okay but served late and everything only ended at 11pm+.

Time for me to leave home while the couple to rest at the hotel suite. The groom was getting quite drunk from the toasting and all and couldnt stand quite straight to send leaving guests.. Lol



And now, a 180-degree change of emotions....

I have to skip school on coming Monday again, despite having a self-test for Hydraulics...

I need to attend my grandmother's funeral..

Well, she was in hospital for quite sometime, fighting against cancer until she couldnt continue anymore. She left on Thursday, the eve of my Sis' wedding. But the wedding still has to continue.

5 tables were cancelled for my mother's side and luckily the hotel understands the situation....

Oh well, seems like i really don't have much time to study....
