Joi & Chee Keong (in full Korean Wedding outfit), with Gary, Adeline and myself.
Coincidentally, Joi's hubby is ALSO called Chee Keong..So before the wedding, I had promised myself not to respond to the name the entire night... Not very successful, haha. Almost everytime someone called out his name, I turn around as well.
Gary (who knows only Joi and me, and not the groom) got confused also..
Gary: Hi, I'm here for the wedding.
Reception: Hmm, can't find your name in the list. OK, are you with the bride or groom?
Gary: ...
Reception: Are you with Chee Keong?
Gary: Yes! Yes! I'm with Chee Keong.
Reception: OK, so let's sit you at the groom's tables
Gary: (slowly realizes..) Wait, Wait! nonono! i'm with the bride! (slaps head mentally)...

Good fullmoon weekend..
It was a great weekend in Singapore last week! Spent every minute of it catching up with friends, collegues, family..Must be the full moon having some positive aura on events: People are just in a celebratory/partying mood last weekend!
Quick breakdown: Spent Saturday morning catching up with Ry. Taught me a cool trick of taking people off-centre in a pix. Moody shot. (he's anything but that, had a blast with him). BTW, this guy is the best DJ, arranger for techno, rnb, soul, house music in the whole of singapore! I'm not kidding. Will upload some of his tunes next time for keen listeners, so stay tuned. Check out a sample of his techno track.
Ry
Next, YQ's Farewell organized by Hippocampus. Really great to see most Sembcorp plp doin fine. Some have newborn kids, some got married, some getting married, most progressing in their careers...It's great to be in the company of friends.
YQ's appointment at Shell is a positive step forward for Singapore, for Asians, for women in the corporate world in general, din realize this until sister brought it up. Wish her all the best in her new job.
YQ's Farewell. Just noticed: Isn't it strange how Cyn Yi seems like she poking her fingers up Choy Siong's nose? haha
More later.. on Joi's Wedding and Lee Pin's baby-in-the-making.

Hey It's been AGES since I played Tag!
This is fun! haha, din know I can still enjoy this at a ripe age of 31..(well, 30+ and counting...) Thanks SONIC.
Instructions of the tag:
Given a topic, you are to write down your answers in your blog, and then send the same topic to 5 other people. Write down the names of these 5 people and link to them on your blog. Go visit their blogs to notify them that they are tagged. The 5 people who are tagged should, in their own blogs, write down the name and the link of the person who tagged them, answer the same topic, and send it to another 5 people, etc.
The topic: Your 5 Quirks!
Mine are:
1) In total opposite to sonic, I need quiet environments. Noise irritates me (not the STOMP!, Photek, Prodigy kinda rhythmic noise that resembles music, but the random, grating sound of drills, grass-cutters, car-horns. GRRR...
2) I eat apples (or any other fruits that don't require me to peel off the skin) in a cirular fashion. Kinda hard to describe, but imagine an upright apple: First the top half gets eaten in a cirular way, then the bottom half get eaten in the same fashion. About 12 big bites ought to do the apple in..:P Very effective, nothing goes to waste using this method.
3) I bath in the exact sequence everytime: first hair, chest, legs, then err.. you-know-where-lah, then when all clean.. face scrubbing. no change since..goodness, can't remember when I did this in a difference sequence.
4) I sum the car numbers to figure out the total sum when I look at car plates (not eveyrtime lah, but about 30% of the time). I heard that the personality tests administered by the PSC-Public Service Commission/MINDEF scholarships plp actually ask you whether you do this during my time. No clue tho, never(couldn't) applied for these scholarships...:P Oya, I kinda take a mental note to see if the total is a prime/odd/even number or not. I dunno what is more freaky, that some stat board/gov agency actually asks these kinda stuff to determine who to hand out scholarships to, or that I actually still do this kinda thing.
5) I'm right handed, but I only hold two things with my left: Phone, cup/mug, and a gun (I was in the revolver club ages ago in uni, I hope no one thot of anything else)
And my victims will be:
Weitiong
Shakespeareheroine
Marrianne
shucks don't have any more blogger i know lah..
Tag!
