big bombad post~

hey everyone,

man what a week. I've been so flat out this whole week, I've been meaning to write this post since the beginning of the week..but just haven't had the time. this is going to be a huge post btw..the main event i want to blog about is amanda's bro's wedding ^^ lots of fun. but first, just a quick over view:


uni life

booooring. busy. we had three mid semesters this week, monday wednesday friday, along with a lab session on friday morning. I don't think i did so well in them all either =/ I feel like work is starting to effect my studies (see below) but yeah. next week it should slow down, even though we're starting some project work (hehehe group work.... =] )

work
work is both good and bad. let's start with the bad first. I think it's starting to tax my energy working every night. So yesterday I biked down to work from uni (only took like 10 minutes (20 minutes uphill -_-)) and asked my boss for some less hours for the coming weeks.
good: today i got paid for watching kung fu panda and starship troopers. exceeeeellent.

also, i have restricted internet usage at work..so everyone's blog is now my entertainment. so everyone, can you please put youtube vidoes, and interesting posts =] (i've looked back at dave's and marco's blogs for the past...5 months worth of posts for half an hour haha)

wedding - 26th aug
woohoo! what a day. congrats to amanda for organising the whole thing by herself!


me and amanda =]

bride and groom (joy and tony)

ceremony in the morning
went over to janice's house first..and she was wearing a white dress! anyone see monster-in-law?
then a quick jog over to amanda's house...and then ontowards the city (along the way janice got attacked by a spider while ripping flowers apart..which i saved her from and didn't even get thanks =[)!

wedding party on the altar

the ceremony..was very real. it's nothing like the movies. but it still held that feeling a wedding should have. i got to be groomsman (2nd best man) cause amanda needed a partner in the wedding party..it felt weird, but at the same time i was really honoured. and it wasn't that awkward, the cousin that was best man and the bro were really friendly... tony (amanda's bro) was really nervous haha. the vows and everything were really nice..oh yeah, janice sharon and I were there btw..

janice and sharon blowing bubbles lol

after the signing of legal papers and lots of photos, we went back to amanda's house to eat. I got to know the cousins a bit better..who for some reason knew alot about me -___- how many times did they ask me if i was amanda's boyfriend? alot lol. anyway they were really nice..i took liking to anna (in a brotherly way please =_=), she's 13 but was easy to get along with. we all played uno for most of the afternoon (which i didn't suck at!)

interlude
after that i went back home..and then to the doctors. i haven't been feeling well (low on energy) and i have excema really badly during this weather. so i got some prescriptions..and a blood test again T_T i hate the feeling of blood being drawn out of me..

reception
the reception was even more fun! dave joined us, all smart in his suit as well. we started off by stealing specific lollies off tables and rigging out wedding presents to get the right one (there were three different options).

benny!

we sat next to a benny lookalike...it's so benny! and then we ate through 8 courses of seafood..lobster, crab, sea cucumber (hahaha sqiushy!) pidgeons (not a seafood I know but..) fish etc. etc. AND i found out i'm allergic to a certain type of wine..i had a sip and i got really hot and itchy all over at once. yup, no drinking wine for awhile now.

and then we took all these photos with the younglings. it was fun!..until the point where they all shouted at me and amanda to get together and take a photo =_____=" seriously, it was like i was meat and they were all lions. ROAR ROAR STAND CLOSER ROAR ROAR..

us five


cousins and whatnot. anna is the middle one in pink.

anyway, thank you amanda for inviting for such a great day..i haven't had that much fun in awhile. now i will proceed to upload photos into this post.

good night!
