attended my cousin's wedding on friday.. it was very different from the other chinese weddings that i've attended.. the wedding was held at laguna country club and it was special as we get to witness the exchange of rings and the newly wed were brought in on a buggy..
and while waiting for the arrival of the couple.. here's a classic picture to share...
they put the cousins of same generations together.. and it's really nice to be close to your relatives.. somehow things changed ever since the death of my grandma.. it's a pity it takes such happening to bring the family close together..my brother having his first ever brandy coke..my cousin, niece and nephew..
if u notice the two guys looking to their right.. they are looking at the table that is the loudest for the famous "YUM．．．．．．．．．．．．．ＳＥＮＧ！！＂
cousins...
cousins..
and more cousins.. almost all were present, except for those in overseas..
the only 2 female LEEs of our generation.. popular as ever.. haha..
wad the groom (my poor cousin) is drinking is the latest concoction.. ingredients are: brandy, cheng ting, coke, red wine, pepper, salt, salad sauce.. yap...
the older generation...
i wonder wad's in the genes of the LEE family that made these guys grow upwards.. and the one on the far left is only 13..
with hunks around, how can u forget the babes?? haha..
that's my beloved cousin who never fails to give tender loving care...
my youngest aunt.. used to be a crew as well..
ppl always mistake him for my bf.. well, i wun blame them.. haha..

it was a great night out.. being with your family members.. if only dad was here to share the joy and company with us.. miss him so..

and yesterday was our cousin outing.. went to karaoke.. and believe me, we sang from 7pm till 5.30am.. haha.. really nice to sing duet songs together.. high together.. emo together.. laugh together.. break voice together.. saw the other side of tat rui.. and really surprise me cos he's always quiet and always sits at a corner.. but it's a good sign of course...
look at us.. still looking fresh at 5.30am in the morning.. haha.. and u know wad.. it was not enough... haha..

and i went out with my sister to look for furnitures today.. found nothing at millenia walk so went to courts and ikea at tampines.. bought 2 closet, a bed frame, a table top, a drawer.. and all we have left is a sofa bed.. we've decided to change the outlook of our room, and it's at our own expenses of course.. but it's good to have a change.. looking forward to my new room.. although we were rather quiet the whole day.. i was enjoying the companionship of her shopping for things with me.. asking me for opinion.. and just looking at her from the back can bring a smile to my face..

received a msg from my dad when i was eating at ikea just now.. asking about the family, and asking if i'm in singapore.. then i told him i was with my sister and our plans to change the outlook of my room.. and guess wad he replied.. "... i understand that u all have my character. never speak up but care for each other. i love all of you but poor in presentation.. " my heart melts upon reading it.. my dad is one traditional dad who has never said "i love u" to us before.. never expressing himself well enough.. but he just did.. first time he mentioned the words "i love you".. i really feel loved..

can't wait till the day he comes back from indonesia.. the power of kinship. treasure.

back from frankfurt-new york yesterday morning.. flight was a little delay and there was a minor hiccup upon landing.. and i almost lost the chance to see my dad off before he leaves for indonesia.. thank god i manage to catch him in the transit area and i really couldn't hold back my tears when saying good bye to him.. for the first time in my entire life, my dad hugged me. and other than at my grandma's wake, that was the 2nd time in my entire life i see him cry.. pain in the heart..

mom sent him off and was waiting for me at the arrival area.. when i got on the car, she asked if i met my dad and wad did he say.. was still struggling with my emotions that i cried in front of my mom.. i believe she's not feeling very good about it as well but is holding back her tears and trying to be strong for the family..

chat with my sister when i was in new york.. and i really feel very warm in the heart when consoled by my sister about the things that are happening to me in my life and my emotions.. and we even chat about changing the outlook of our room and going shopping for furnitures this coming sunday.. really looking forward to it and hope that i'll be able to share all my problems with her without reservations in the near future.. of course, i have to pass the obstacle that's in my heart..

many ppl are concern about me, my life and my emotions.. i really want to thank these ppl, namely: zifu, ailing, michelle, kai, javin, nicholas, linda low.. those not mentioned, thank u all as well.. i really appreciate the concern and support given to me and i'm really trying my best to pull myself up and go on with life..

some updates on my long trip..

upon touch down in frankfurt, rested for a few hours before going out with the crew for lunch at the italian joint and then off to town for some expensive shopping.. (not for me of course..)
that's my lunch.. nice..
this is the town area..
look wad the my fellow crew bought.. no.. they are not mine...
turning dark in frankfurt..
that's our hospi senior!! jasmine.. and so coincidentally i worked with her best friend stephanie on my manchester flight..
i was not hungry and thought i'll just order a salad.. but the salad end up to be bigger than other main dishes.. omg..
this was wad i saw in the sky of frankfurt before i left for newyork.. a cross.. is it a sign??

and in new york.. i took quite a no. of pics of the streets of NEW YORK...

and these kinda long limos.... super common in new york... cool..

and on my trip to new york, beloved colleague, AYU, took really good care of me.. love her loads..
the next day we took a bus to jersey gardens to shop in this factory outlet shopping mall.. and along the streets there was the weekend bazaar.. cool...

this is another very nice crew, peixuan, who took very good care of me as well and she's a good shopping khaki...

and that was the last view of frankfurt before i leave my room to go back to singapore..

chill out with vanessa and ailing last night.. and today met ailing for lunch at orchard and met xiu for k session, with sha joining us for dinner.. catch up session and everyone seem to be kinda stuck in life.. well, for me especially so..

如果今天泪光闪闪

我总是一个人走
心里却充满空洞
用太多借口, 来弥补寂寞
却无法, 找回自由
