Hmm...why didn't the previous blog get posted this morning?

Had a good weekend!! Met the blog group at their party...actually gate-crashed at 2am in the morning! :-) I must say you guys are a fun bunch. Thanks for making me feel comfy. Was just telling dear that I'm very impressed at how well-organized the whole thing was...like who to buy the booze, who to bring the games, etc. Jude : great job! Everyone has good memories of the gathering (even me, even though I was there for only an hour...to witness you pple getting ready to sleep! :-p) and that alone makes the party a smashing success. :-)

I will think twice before going for another family gathering. Out of those cousins in my age group, only Haur and myself were there. Haur brought his girlfriend. So guess who was the centre of attention? Yeah. I had to tackle and ward off "concerned" relatives on my "marital status". Aunties and uncles who came to me to tell me they have people they want to introduce to me. I was very amused at first, but then after having to undergo a very painful 10minute lecture from my auntie on "interesting" topics like "Getting Introduced Doesn't Mean Getting Married" and "You Can Still Choose", they were really getting on my bloody nerves! Tried to signal to my mum to save me from the gruelling lecture but somehow there was no chemistry in the eye contact that I made with my mum last night. She walked off!

I can't believe match-making still exists. I certainly do not need them to help me to widen my social circle. My marital status is of no concern of theirs. They should be grateful if I were to let them know anything because I'd being doing so out of respect for them as the elders, keeping them in the picture and acknowledging that "yes, you are family so I'm informing you". Who I choose to be with is my business, my life, my happiness. THAT, is the most important. I'm the one getting married to the man of my dreams. Not them! Come to think of it, how does me getting married or not affect their lives? Goodness....

That 10 minute lecture was the most "memorable" of all.

Well, grouses aside, I went to Blu at Shangrila Hotel (25th floor) with my colleagues after the family bbq. It's a terribly romantic place. Dear, let's go there one day...

Was at the beach at Sentosa today with Mart and Sin. Totally relaxing. Basically we just sat on the beach and chatted. Beautiful sunset.

Downloading "Crucify my love" by X Japan now. Sorry dear, I want to listen to the song so much tonight that I cannot wait till tomorrow to listen to it at your place...heehee....
