An unforgettable wedding

I was at Michelle's wedding yesterday. Her wedding is the first ever church wedding that I've attended. It was a very beautiful reception. Very beautiful church in Puchong. Too bad didn't have my camera. I hope someone will send me some pics of that day. It was a Catholic wedding, heard from Chia Wei the Protestant wedding is much simpler. Will know that when she gets married. :) Michelle looked absolutely amazing in her gown. She marched in with Siew Yee singing at the background. Very touching scene. Michelle's dad was quite funny too. Being very busy with the camera the whole event. After the morning ceremony, we had lunch at the church basement.

After the break from the morning ceremony, did some running around with some bills to settle. Met up with Bev and KW for BKT. Didn't eat la, just was sitting in to drink tea with them. Haven't seen them for sometime. :) went back, and WASHED my car, after like months of dust that had settled on my car! :p

Then needed to get ready for the night. We got there earlier for the pre-dinner cocktail. Nothing much, just ppl mingling around. Holiday Villa Subang. Victorian Ballroom. Very nice setting. Different from the ballroom for Danny's wedding the last time I was there. Smaller ballroom. Met up with the CF-ers from back then. Nice to catch up with a few of them. Dinner was good. The programs from start till end was a delightful one. I like the way both of them march in the room, unlike any other weddings I've been too. Michael sang part of a song then Michelle came in. It was "I've finally found someone". Very lovely couple. Even the food presentation was a different one, rather than the waiters coming in with some kitaro song, or
the lady with the trishaw... this was just a very cute presentation which involves 2 swans, a lot of hearts, and a few smaller swans. the waiters had to carry the props and move around on the stage along with the song. Ended with 3 signs that says: Michael and Michelle, Marriage Made In Heaven, Dinner is served. Food was not bad, but I was seated with all the ladies, so most of the dishes are not finished.

Let's move on with the "unforgettable" part of it. Lilian went to Philipines and brought back balut! And she brought it during the dinner! So everyone was so curious about it, watched Alvin swallow the first. Then Joseph...I got curious too. Leona was taking a bite, I told her I wanted to try. She gave me half of it. It was okay at first..without thinking, just bite on it. It tasted like meat with the egg yolk. But then they start to play with it, coz the balut i was eating had feathers. Then the thought came to me, sheesh... i can imagine how the Fear factor people feel when they have to eat like a whole bowl of it. I had to take sweet things frm then on. The aftertaste is really bad. I down half a glass of wine, then sweet desserts from then on to cover the taste. Would I try it again? No, unless someone dared me to.

Broken In~!

Police report:

"Pada 18/03/08, jam lebih kurang 1430 hrs ketika saya pulang ke rumah dapati pintu hadapan rumah saya telah terbuka dan telah diumpil. Setelah masuk ke dalam rumah dapati barang-brang di dalamnya berselerak. Saya syaki rumah saya telah dimasuki pencuri. ...."

Ok..so the story,should the same as the ones some of you already heard. But let's do it all over again to tell everyone about it. So this is what happened ( abit of harp-enhanced music at the background ... )

On Tuesday, when I was out for lunch, phone rang. My aunt told me that my house was broken in. Shocked as I was that time, I sweared the four-letter word quite loud in the mall. Didn't know what to respond then. Got myself home, then saw what damaged was done. The ride home felt like thousands of kilometres...got back, realised my front gate was still lock. Turns out the thieves climbed over and spoilt a bit of the shade in front of the house. Broken my front grill lock.


Can't see it that clear, but the cut off the "ear" of the grill to get in.

And then started searching for stuff. What I can see when I got back was the back door and back gate were opened.So they came in front, escape from back. They must've done that first. And I suspect it's 2 people at least.One to search for keys to the back and one to start searching, considering there's very short time for them. So what I saw was all the drawers opened. My room was the worst hit, coz has the most stuff. But they should be quite fast when they do it coz besides my desk drawers and cupboard, other places looked untouched.





Colleagues came back with me, helped me to get a new lock and all..this is what I'm keeping my house locked with:



Thanks to everyone that has helped me with the whole bizzare breaking-in thing. In the messy conditions, I actually thot my bank saving books are missing, so I went to all the trouble to get them replaced only to find them back when I started clearing up some stuff. Went to the police about evening when it started to pour. The whole police thing from reporting till them coming in to my house to snap some pics took about a couple of hours. Police was asking me who do I suspect? I said no one. I guess they've been watching for quite sometime before they took action. They also realised that my neighbour is always there, so they needed a quick search before my neighbour gets back I guess. Anyhow, from what my neighbour said it was a Wira. And a day after my house got broken in, another one nearby also got broken in with the same method. Might be related, but residents of Taman Klang Jaya, Taman Sri Andalas, Taman Desawan, please look out for Black Wira with a group of Indian men. If you suspect anything, please dial 999 to inform the police.

With all the mess, what was lost was only a few hundred bucks from my angpows! But I also believed that they took my old spoilt nokia 8210 too...I don't keep expensive stuff at home. The most valuable should be the electrical appliances at home which is already old and going to spoil dy. SO, if u're a thief reading this, please, this house is not worth you breaking in anymore. Please proceed next door~!

A new beginning?

Malaysia's 12th General Election was just yesterday. Sad to say that I didn't get to cast my vote due to some technical problems which involves a little confusion on the closing date of registration...okay fine, I was too lazy to register, so I didn't get to do it. BUT turns out if I did cast my vote, results would came out to be the same( WRONG ATTITUDE AND THINKING...I know I know...) SO I will make sure I'll vote the next election.

SO the results came out to be quite surprising, but it was hoped for since the last election I guess. It's really time to change. Political analyst calls this the political tsunami. They were all shocked with the defeat of a lot of incumbent MPs. Well, everyone was quite united to make a change this time around. So, with the results come a lot of follow up. Let's hope with more of the opposition's voice in the Parliment would actually help and create a better country. And I do hope that all those street "decor" would be removed soon enough. Kinda irritating.

Yea..a new beginning for all of us. :)
