My cousin had his wedding reception last Sunday. I was really looking forward to it, or so I thought I was. Maybe subconsciously, I did not want to go.
You see, this is my cousin's second wedding. His first one didn't work out. As much as I had wanted to be there to celebrate with him and his new wife, I could not. One very obvious reason is of course due to my chicken pox. The other was that I did not want awkward looks and conversations from relatives.
When my second uncle's daughter got married, they were so secretive about it and they used me as an excuse of not telling everyone. They said that they did not want to hurt my feelings. Ha!! What utter bullshit! If you don't want to tell then don't tell. Don't use me as a lousy excuse. I am happily divorced and there is no reason for me to be unhappy, unless of course they were afraid that I would jinx up their daughter's marriage.
Well, in a way, I was glad that I was not there last Sunday at my third uncle's son's wedding. Then nobody can say that I had anything to do with anything if anything happens. I was very honoured though, coz my cousin actually asked me to be receptionist. Hahaha! This is the sort of thing I liked to do. I did that for my other cousin's wedding and it was fun being the PR person.
Well, most of my cousins are all getting married now and I am happy for all of them, coz I cannot wait to be auntie to all those cute nieces and nephews! As for me, I will continue my journey in looking for a partner. No, not for marriage, but for companionship. I need to start widening my circle of friends from now.
Anyhow, I had to decline the invitation to be receptionist and I stayed at home, like any other good patient.

What a mess!
Want to see how messy I got preparing myself for the wedding dinner? Check out this picture:
Plus, I used up five eyelid stickers for my right eye and I still didn't really get it right!!! These stickers are supposed to let single eyelid people like us look like we have natural double eyelids. It does look natural on my left eye though. I just think it has got something to do with the condition of my eye that day.
Nevertheless, a good haircut, with beautiful dress, matching shoes and bag, makes me a happy person.
As for the dinner, although the food was good but I think the hotel staff needs lots and lots more improvement. The floor manager did not manage timing properly and dinner only started at 8.30pm!!! I was also not used to not being cued for the very first dish. Usually, there will be the wait staff marching in to a grand piece of music. This time around, everything was quite haphazard, with wait staff just walking without music and two musicians preparing themselves on stage. We were quite unsure when to eat! Hahaha!!
That said, I had lots of eye candy that night as I had clean forgotten that my dear cousin is now an A&E doctor,while his wife is a paediatrician. The best surprise though, was when I saw a picture of myself, when I was young, lined up in a row, with some of my youngest cousins. I had forgotten how carefree we were and how, we did not know or care about the adults' affairs.

Mooncake night
Tonight is the 15th of August in the Chinese calendar and it is the day when kids and sometimes adults alike, gather together, eat mooncakes, drink tea and carry lanterns.
Well, I will not be doing it this year. Although in recent years, it has become more of a barbeque event for my friends and I, with mooncakes, sans lanterns. Tonight, I will be attending the wedding dinner of another cousin.
We used to be close and I would go to his house to spend my holidays with him and his sister, but some family matters have made us grow apart from one another. I especially do not like the attitude of his sister.
All that aside, I am excited about being able to doll up and put make-up, the choosing of clothes and the matching evening bag with the correct colour of shoes and the whole lead up to the event itself. For me, any occasion to doll up is an exciting occasion :)
Didn't spend a cent on clothes and make-up this time round though. Everything I need, I already have. The part I spent money on was my grooming: Hair etc. I thought it was about time too. Too many greys showing :P
Will try to take some pics and put it up soon.
