Will be the emcee for Elaine's wedding this Thursday. Strange, I feel, as I'm not even her close friend. I would call our relationship as it is -- we are colleagues and mere acquaintances and that's all. She surprised me by asking me that day to be the English emcee for her wedding dinner at Pan Pacific Hotel. She got Quek to be the Mandarin emcee for the night. I was hesitant as I felt like I did not know her well enough to help her to host her wedding dinner. I mean, I would think that the emcee for the dinner should/would normally be close friends of the couple. That would be more meaningful, isn't it? Then the emcees will be able to talk and "expose" details about the couple and sabo them without remorse, isn't it? Personally, I would like the emcee for my wedding to be a close friend of mine. I would feel more secure that way I guess, rather than to let just any person who can speak in front of an audience be my emcee.

Anyway, I will try to be a gracious host for the banquet and will endeavour to say the appropriate things for her. I spoke to Quek today asking him if he had any more info regarding this emcee thingey. Apparently the both of us are pretty lost. She told me to be her emcee last week but she did not get my number (nor did the forgetful me remember to tkae hers). So I do not know how to contact her at all. She did mention that I could be at the hotel at 5pm to get ready and to rehearse. When I asked Quek what time he intended to be there, you would'nt believe what he said. THREE!!! "just to make sure that nothing goes wrong".....my goodness!! I think I have better things to do than to turn up that early to rehearse those few lines that we have. I mean, if I have to dress up and be at the hotel at 3pm, I'd be dead tired during the wedding man... 3pm is ridiculous. I'm just going to be there at 5 at the earliest. That's all.

I've put on weight. Don't know which dress to wear now....can't be too casual. I'm going to be stage man. Cold feet? not yet.....
