T-I-R-E-D but H-A-P-P-Y

I didn't quite realise how tired I was till I dozed off in class yesterday..
LOL..I have never dozed off in classes before..The only time I ever did was in secondary school but that was cos I was running a fever.. haha..

And so yesterday when I woke with a shock after having dozed off, I was quite alarmed.. haha lol.
Bruno was very draggy yesterday trying to explain a new grammatical concept to us...he was droning on and on...
It got better afterwards when we did the exercises in the workbook...
Eric spoke to me during the class break and he joked that I looked like a drug addict...
Dark eye rings, thin, stoned & spaced-out look.. haha...kns!!!

===========
And the reasons for my tiredness??
Didn't sleep well on both Thursday & Friday nights!! Abit worn out by the activities on both days!
Hahaaa....nevertheless, it was a happy happy time...=)

Thursday was a usual work day..I am still in my honeymoon phase. Reading up on past projects, trying to assimilate into the work culture and ofice environment...
Rushed home that day..wet and shivering...I remember it was raining the whole day..
Got changed, packed my overnight bag...and then went downstairs for Ling & Susan & Jierui to pick me...

Went over to NTUC in Tampines Mall and bought stuff...had a rushed dinner at MOS burger and then we were off again...to Aloha Loyang...
Met up with Gail there...checked out the chalet, washed up and then got to "work"...

The chalet was huge..living & dining rooms, kitchen, garden space, 4 bedrooms, a courtyard with BBQ pits...piangzz...really big...
It was kinda surreal actually. The whole day's rain added to the effect..everything was cold and damp, the grass was wet, the stone brick walls were cold, the air seemd misty and dewy...
And it felt so quiet an dout of the world...we were just only 1min away from the beach too...that close to the sea...

What work did we do? Hahaha...As "sisters" for Gail's wedding...we pledged ourselves to churn out various tasks that Adrian's "brothers" had to do...
We made glutinous rice balls with torturous fillings...wasabi flavoured ones, lemon fillings, chilli fillings, bittergourd fillings, etc...
We made water balloons. We made clothes out of garbage bags for the brothers to wear...
We wote Chinese tongue twisters for them to read...

We had a blast.. haha laughing our way through the night...while our hands did the work...
We slept at 2-plus in the morning...crashing our tired selves onto the hard beds in the bedrooms..
I slept with Susan, ever conscious of whether I would snore..I don't think I snore actually...but ahboy begs to differ.. ahha...and I still don't know if he is joking or not...

It wasn't a good sleep..tossed abit in the unfamiliar and hard bed...I was facing the window and a silly part of me expected some kind of monster to crash through the window at some point in the night...I remember in my semi-conscious state, I even recited Hail Mary 3 times...
Dumbo.. ahha...

And the next thing I knew..it was 630am..4hours passed just like that...I think I only slept for half the time haha...
Woke up, bathed, dressed...And it was time to prepare again for the guys' arrival..
Cooked the rice balls, brought out all the apparatus & euipment and whatever props we prepared the night before...

Gail's parents & brother were already there..sitting & chatting quietly in the living room of the chalet while we went about our business...

Took a quick bite of our Mac breakfast...sent by delivery of course...put on make-up and voila..we were waiting just for their arrival...

============
And they arrived on time...830am sharp...Amidst loud blarings of car horns..

The sisters worked the guys...push-ups...rice balls eaten with grimacing faces...cool guys who soon were awash with sweat in the slowly gathering heat and the slowly growing sunrays...
Hell, I was so hot I felt a little grumpy haha...

And then voila...the tasks were over...the sisters got their angpows...and the guys were in the chalet compund...One more task of singing "Xiao Wei"..

And Adrian finally got through to opening a final door...and seeing his bride...

Gail was pretty...so pretty!...She wore a tube gown..white of course, with specks of gold & light beige embroidery of little flowers along the waist & on her train...A little green ribbon ran roung the waist and ended in a knot at the small of her back...with the tails of the ribbons flowing freely behind her...
Loved the beaded hair piece that the make-up artist wove into her hair...

A kiss from the groom, a few shots from the photographer...and the bride got the chance to step out of the room and finally see daylight hahhaa...
Her first reaction just before she stood up was "Wah, very bored to wait in here leh..." hahha....

More pics...and finally all of us, brothers & sisters alike all made our way to Adrian's out for the tea ceremony...

===========
Gosh, and it was the first time ever that I'd seen such a big wedding entourage.. ahha...
This batch of brothers & sisters are all darn rich.. ahha...

Amongst the wedding couple & 6 brothers & 5 sisters....there was 7 cars in total I think.
A merc for the bridal car, a lexus, 4 toyota vios-es and 1 mazda...
Haha it must hav ebeen quite a sight for passers-by to see such a long line of cars,...all with flowers & adornments....speeding along the roads & the expressway... haha...

Ahboy & I went home & crashed after the tea ceremony & lunch buffet was over at Adrian's house...
By the time we woke, it was already 515pm..ahaha..gosh, I was supposed to be at the place at 530pm... haha...

===========
MHotel...I was assigned the role of the Polaroid photographer.. haha...sneaking up on guests, interrupting their conversations, intruding into their private times, hijacking their smiles and snapping moments of time onto little pieces of film.

It was cool I think...guests wrote their well-wishes on the pictures which came out...and the pictures were displayed onto boards near the recep table. The Polaroid I took with Ahboy turned out to be so nice!..=D

The dinner was wonderful...The food was very good!! And they had Orh-Ni as dessert...my fav!! hhaa...The atmosphere was nice...relaxed and casual ulike some of the stuffy dinners I attended before...I guess in part because there were so many tables who knew each other...The Duman sec gang already took up 4 tables at least.. ahha...

With AhGim at my table..somehow I knew trouble was brewing.. ahha...She brought 3 bottles of Martell there...of which...2.5bottles of it was consumed within an hour...myself? I managed to get by...drank some....and got off sometimes by acting blur.. ahhaha....survival skills....=p

I think some of the other tables were just staring at our antics...some uncles were just open-mouthed at how much we were drinking...and also...at how much AhGim was drinking...
She drinks like as if Martell was just plain water quenching her thirst.. ahha...

============
We gatecrashed the couple's suite after the dinner...parked ourselves cosily there...watched abit of TV...BraveHeart was showing on HBO....
Played 5-10, drank abit more...took some more pics...and then finally left Gail & Adrian to their night ahead.. hehe...

Ahboy & I got home around 3-plus in the morning...Guess it was impromptu that he slept over at my place.. haha..he was tired and well...abit tooo woozy for the drive back to his place...

And so...we slept...he slept like a pig..
I woke up a few times after dawn broke..I dunno why...the adrenalin from the day before perhaps?
Woke, had lunch and the both of us went to visit Granny...

Went for my class after that...came home, watched abit of TV, bathed....
And slept at 10pm...and I fell into such a deep sleep within a few minutes that I missed Ahboy's call at 1020pm...He called again, spoke with him for a few minutes and crashed again....

Till 1030 this morning. I'd slept for 12 hours straight without waking a single time...Been a long long time since I did that....But it felt great.. haha...

Wokr up and then had to do household chores the whole day...from washing clothes to changing sheets to even frying meesiam....piangzz...my mother worked me hard today.. haha...

And now at 930pm....I feel the still air is lulling me back to sleep again...
Ah...the warm confines of my new sheets....The way it cocoons me when I get into bed...

Think I'll go sleep again soon.... hee....
Long long entry today.. hahha....
