Weekends fly past in a flash of light while weekdays seemingly tend to pass very slowly. Perhaps because I always feel very bored down by my work. I enjoy my work but sometimes during my busy-ness, i do feel very "discounted". Putting work aside, today I went for the CG QT. Not that I don't go often. In fact, I do wish to go but many times "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Today, while in service, the Pastor was preaching about "Life Modelling" and the character was David. Of all that was preached, 1 thing stuck in my mind--> "Having the courage to face the Goliath of my life". When the Pastor said this "Goliath of your life", 1 person immediately came into my mind and I wrote that person's name down. I guess I am quite fortunate that the person who was seated next to me didn't see the name of whom I wrote. After an incident that happened sometime ago, I know till date, I haven't have the courage to face this Goliath. It's not that its impossible, but everytime I see this person, I just don't feel like talking. For many out there, going for CG, CG QT, service etc is an easy feet, but for myself each time I decide to go, it actually takes alot out courage out of me. Someone mentioned that I am getting cryptic recently, and this the first time I am sharing this which probably was never mentioned to anyone. After the incident, every week, its a tough decision process (the whole week through) if I want to go for CG. To face the 'Goliath of my life' on a weekly basis, its 1 of the toughest decision. I've gone through CG tore apart, all my friends left, many times when I just feel like calling it quits but nothing is as tough as the decision to stay on and face this. Many times for the past few months, more often than not the feeling of wanting to be a 逃兵 floods me. But I know for sure 1 thing about myself is this-> I am not as emotional as people perceive me to be.
2) Next post is something which is overdued but not long overdue.(Well i still blog it in the month it happened.) My brother is married!! After about a year of preparation, my brother got married on 9 May 2010. I am officially the only unmarried child at home. I have mixed feelings about him getting married. While I am happy for him, I also know my brother will have divided attention. In the past, as a single but attached brother, I have privileges of getting him to buy stuff, fetching me and I can also intrude into his room and just sleep on his bed. But I know as a married brother, I can no longer do such things. *boo*. As his faithful sister who helps him look into the details while he and my 大嫂 were preparing for the Big Day, I am glad everything went on smoothly. Our family are also very thankful for all our friends & relatives who flew in for the wedding and all the generous giving. Some pictures to share of the wedding->
Prepared specially for the groom and the brothers. When I saw this, I was like "easy feet". If they meet me as 1 of the sisters, hahha..where got so easy??
Wasabi with Chilli Padi on biscuits! They didn't know my brother loves Wasabi..haha
All charged up! Brothers and sisters with the couple
Thanks to all the helpful friends who helped run the whole show for them the whole day which includes James, Luhan, Kevin, Gary, OCC and Desmond.
My pretty 大嫂
Ling's sister, Joey and my brother. She was telling me that she's happy that her sister married a good husband. :p
The couple with the sisters. Thanks to the sisters that helped out that day. It's not an easy task.
While we were waiting for the couple to be back to our house, the cousins decide to snap a picture together. My partenal side, cousins.
notice someone is missing from the pic?
The lovely couple posing with the bridal car @ my house garage.
Can you feel the joy on their faces? Ling is all smiles, but my brother looked a little tired.
and we have 2 little ones who "rolled" on the bed. Ethan & Junya!
Time to serve tea for the parents.
My parents were all smiles :) in receiving ling into our family.
and its my turn to serve it to my brother.
Dad's siblings with all their spouses.
Mum's siblings with all their spouses.
Brothers & Sisters taken with the couple. This time taken @ my place.
We have a lovely Tasha with Ling.
Ling looks intensely as my brother puts his signature down. My brother was joking with me that while Ling signs her life away, he signs his assets away. And I told him...Wrong! At this moment, you've only signed your liabilities. What assets are you talking about?
Ling wearing the ring for him. In fact, my brother loves the ring, telling me that it has the design of the " "Mazda". Ling even told me that he enjoys wearing the ring.
Ling's turn to wear the ring.
The deal is sealed. Commitment of a lifetime.
Mum was gleefully signing her son away. She told me she's so glad that a burden is lifted off her shoulders and she can't wait to off load me as well.
the moment.
the parents and now 亲家
Self explanatory
Taken out of their wedding album. This was taken @ Lunar.
Friends & Relatives who arrived early.
Banquet venue. See the red sash? My mum's idea. We had an overflow of guests coz the initial table that we were suppose to have is 30 tables but it came up to a total of 36 tables.
Champange pouring. They looked lovely don't they? I love her gown. It was kind of a last min decision to have this gown and they stayed @ the bridal studio till late few days before the wedding to have this altered.
Let it flow..let it flow.
Ok. this caught me by surprise. I was talking to my brother a few days before the wedding and we were discussing if he's going to have a speech and he say maybe a short one. But amazingly, he wrote a super long & meaningful one. I was caught by surprise that my brother will write something that has depth in it. Well..he's a thinker just like me.
and he toasted his beautiful bride for willingly entrusting her life with him.
my 3 aunties. Well the thing is this. Though we are of a different generation but I can talk to my aunties as well. From left to right: Auntie Stephanie, Auntie Elaine & Auntie Mirabel.
My dad's friends who didn't let my brother off the hook so easily and knowing my brother, he's not a spoilsport and he willing drank with them.
Katie! 1 of my cousins kids. I wished I can have a nephew/niece soon :p
Myself with Chelsea.
Sending our guests off. Dad was super hospitable.
When most of the crowd left, I decided to snap a little more photos of my mum. The very first time, I see her all dressed up. With Auntie and Auntie Mirabel. (Auntie Mirabel is a lady whom I respect alot). Many of my relatives say I have a striking resemblance to her. In terms of looks and character when she was in her 20s. 
new shoe rack! whahhaaa...
Put Junya on the weighing machine and he weighs 11kg. Approximately, the weight of a sack of rice.
Prada bag!
another view of the prada bag. nice!
