Hectic and busy weekend helping out and attending wedding banquets but I'm glad it's finally over and I can finally have sufficient rest and sleep. My laptop is back! Attended 3 wedding banquets back to back over the weekends, I had the most energy for the first one since I had sufficient rest the night before. I was only involved with reception duty, helping bride change into second gown and holding her dress when she had to walk from table to table for photo-taking. I totally didn't expect her to give me such a big angbao, I totally forgot they will give. Even if I remember, I wouldn't expect so much and she only gave me after the whole event so I can't even return some to her because I already gave her my angbao. I don't feel that I did a lot, there is really no need for her to give me so much, will treat her to dinner when we meet the next time. I didn't expect her to ask me to be her sister either, I thought she will ask her other friends. Not that we are not close, but I thought she might have other friends whom she feels closer with. 是我人缘好吗？:D I still like the song Perfect no matter how many times I've listened to it at wedding banquets but I still prefer original singer version. In fact I'm more sick of hearing 告白气球, used to like that song but not anymore.
The evening banquet is more relaxing because I don't need to do anything, just need to show up and eat. My friends could tell I was tired for the night, I was starting to yawn towards the end of the banquet. The live band was a little different from the usual ones because they allow anyone to go up and sing or dedicate songs to the newly-wed but mostly it was the older generation who went up so we heard quite a lot of oldies. Had a good chat with Jeff about the good old times, I missed those carefree days where we will always go out in one big group and watch movies after lesson ended or sing k after exams ended. Complained about those times when we had to do project and dissatisfaction with some biased teacher etc. 我承认我对朋友很好，好到有时候有些人会欺负我，可是如果觉得自己被欺负了还是会说出来。我不是对每个人都好，只有我的朋友还是我喜欢的人我才会对他们好，不熟的人我根本就不会理会他们。我当时对你好只是觉得你需要帮忙而我又可以帮得到你，那当然要帮啊！我也没有想太多，只是觉得你是我的朋友，帮你没有关系啊，我又不会有损失。真的想欺负你的人，又怎么会觉得不好意思？
Reached home at 12+, slept at 1am, woke up at 5am and started preparing for the final wedding for that weekend. This is the fourth time I’ve been asked to be sister, I still have one more at the end of the year. Good thing is, there is no gatecrash and the groom had so much sincerity we didn't make things too difficult for him either. He gave 3 angbaos and all of them are in SGD, he didn't even try to slot in any fake cash or monopoly money or rupiah. I thought only the last angbao will be the real deal but nope, all 3 are the real deals, how to make things difficult for him? Helped out with tea ceremony, played the solemnization song (Jay Chou's own wedding march in song) when they marched in, reception duty, playing videos and displaying the pictures for dinner. I was exhausted and keep yawning, when we reached the hotel, I don't even feel like talking anymore. Actually wanted to give $200+ but ended up giving $300+ because the groom gave us $100 angbao for helping out so we returned all, rich kid haha. The bride gave a heartwarming speech, very touching but nope I didn't cry but the bride did. The menu for the first two wedding banquets are almost similar, thankfully fullerton's one was totally different if not I'd have gotten so sick of eating the same 8-course meal for 2 days. I can finally drink alcohol yesterday but I only drank champagne. I was afraid to drink for the previous two, need to wake up early the next day don’t want to get drunk. Live band sang almost the same songs as previous night but one thing I don't understand, towards the end they started singing 小幸运, right here waiting which I think was inappropriate for such a happy occasion. Min is so busy until even after the event ended, I still have not received the wedding invitation haha.
Anyway, congrats Mrs Yeo, Mr Kee and Mrs Tan. Have a blissful marriage and 早生贵子! 4 down, 3 more to go.
我的好朋友结婚啦！她终于等到一个会一直陪伴在她身边的人。在一起的过程虽然艰辛，但是他们都一起度过了。我替她感到开心也一点都不担心她会被欺负因为我知道她的老公会对她疼爱有加。
认识她十一年了，陪她经历了很多事和她一起成长。看着她和他谈恋爱然后她开心的嫁给了他。她的性格和我很像，她很懂我。因为这样所以我们经常找对方倾诉，不管是开心的或是不开心的。她跟我说的秘密不管其他人怎么逼供，我一个字都没透漏。她交男朋友，我是最早知道的，她要结婚了，我也是第一个知道的。记得以前我还帮她瞒着其他人不让她们知道她有男朋友了。
前一晚去她家过夜，知道她肯定睡不着所以陪她聊了几句就去睡了，还好她的姐姐在，能陪她聊天。抱歉不能陪你聊到很晚，你也知道我爱睡觉嘛。希望没有把新郎和他的兄弟们整得太惨，我玩得很开心，在这种时候我很庆幸我是女生。恭喜我们的大姐接到捧花，期待她的好消息！那天一整天都跟着她，有点累，到了晚上就不想说话比较想睡觉。她还是和以前一样，面对一群人的时候会很紧张，不过感谢词说得很棒。一整天都很紧张的她，一说完感谢词整个人就变得轻松多了。新娘真的很漂亮，第二套礼服真的很像美女与野兽。上台举杯喊yum seng，到了早生贵子这个环节，我们喊得特别大声，喊到我喉咙沙哑。赶紧生个可爱的小宝宝让我们陪她／他玩。
CNY is my favourite festive season, did I mention that I love steamboat? I have already had shilifang and haidilao for 2 consecutive days as well as for new year's eve and I'm still not sick of steamboat yet. After trying so many tomato soup base, I still prefer the rich flavour from haidilao. 我喜欢大家聚在一起吃火锅的感觉，我喜欢热热闹闹的感觉。Have been feasting on all the nice food, my face is getting rounder. My luck this year wasn't the best, neither was it the worse but it was definitely worse than last year. Totally no luck with in between, I'll lose every single cent that I won from ban luck if I play in between.
Wore new pair of heels on the first day and got blisters at the end of the day. Couldn't tolerate the pain any longer so I walked barefooted from my house downstairs to my home. Tiring week, insufficient sleep.
We played a new game this year, goodbye saboteur hello avalon. It's a strategy game as well, similar to saboteur but now the bad guys know their own team members beforehand and 1 special character merlin who will know who are the bad guys. Percival will protect merlin by acting as him to confuse the bad guys so they can't win. Bad guys still win if they managed to find out who is merlin even if the good guys win all the quests. When you play with people you know so well, sometimes it's easy to tell who are the bad guys through their reactions. After playing for so many rounds, I only got the bad guy card once and I didn't choose it myself. 我天生就是好人命 :D I've no idea how to play the bad guy and not get caught.
