Uncle's Wedding-30 May 2005

Everyone in the family gathered for this long-awaited event. Uncle had announced his plans to get married with his psychologist girlfriend since last year and naturally everyone was quite excited. By the way, i enjoy attending wedding dinners, not exactly because of the good food, well, ok, a little, but also the atmosphere and the happiness in the air makes one feel good.

First, it was the morning tea-ceremony, and came the Brunch buffet. Upon looking, it was from Purple Sage catering...The food were good, and they didn't come cheap...

After food, it was leisure time. The adults occupied the living room and chat about everything, and the kids, yes, us(Diana, you're included!), went into one of the empty rooms, switch on the air-con, and started playing. Our playing included taking lotsa photos and funny videos, complete with hilarious kids talk.

Here goes...

Familiar?

Cai and Hao...My cousins...

Both of them were sleepy...

And so bro went to sleep...on the floor...

Hao loved climbing up there...

My mum, listening to the adults' talk outside...

3 little boys...

My mum and her sisters...

Our pants were the same colour...

One extra jeans...extra extra extra...

The Star formations...

What were you thinking???

Oooh...chatting?

I thought their house clock was unique..

Another thinking...

Hmm!

Grandma with Mum and bro..Bro looked eager to run away...

The condo design made you feel as if you were living in some roman castle...

Time flew once again and it was time to get home to prepare for the dinner at night. However, heaven decided to cry and threw not only cats and dogs, but whales and elephant down the sky so we couldnt get home on time. Then the alarm started ringing and all the lifts stopped. The worse thing was when grand-uncle climbed all the way down from the 17th story to the security guard office, the guards said they didnt know what to do, nor do they know how to deactivate the alarm, right.

For us, it was a feat to climb down 17 stories. It was definitely a mean feat for a 90+ year old great-grandmother to go all the way down. In the end, time pressed and there seemed no choice but to let great-grandma slowly climb down. It was only when she went down to the 7th story that the lift worked again. Poor great-grandma.

And it was dinner time.

While on the way, i was telling Dad and Mum that every wedding should have a tea-reception jus before the wedding dinner starts so that people can have a drink and some snacks to satisfy their stomachs a little while waiting for the late-comers.

There...the tea-reception by the pool i had expected.

The dinner...

Grand-uncle gave a Thank You speech..without a script..

Bride and Groom's turn...

My favourite Grandma and Grandpa...

Just the 4 of us...

After the dinner, it was time to go home...

Blissful marriage...The end of a fairy tale, the beginning of a new life...

Til then folks...

Horoscope

Scorpio

For Women

Personality : You are a bright and vivacious person but sometimes you go overboard that you hear the word "nagging." People think you are a reserved person but things are constantly brooding in your mind. That's why it's hard for anyone to figure you out. (This is scarily true...)

Love Tendency : The person you'd like to share your lifetime with has to be one who will never even think about deceiving you in any way. Your stubbornness will succeed in the end because you will meet an honest man in the end. (Well, hopefully)

Life : You'll experience some tough times during your younger years because your pride gets in the way. You are labeled as a self-centered person, which doesn't hinder you from having close trustworthy friends. Those might be the only ones you keep in your lifetime. (Erm, i do have close friends...but it's inevitable that human's are somehow selfish... And i do have strong pride..but lack confidence that's it. Rather contradicting huh...)

Match

Good Match: A-type or B-type Taurus and Aquarius and B-type Capricorns are men who will make you happy. They are wholly involved in this relationship and that's why you don't have to worry about them cheating on you. B-type and O-type Cancers are great comforters.

Bad Match: AB-type of Aquarius AB-type of Leo

What kind of friend

There's explosive element here, pure dynamite, if you ask me. However good friend you may be-and you are good-do not be secretive and wear a mask. Yes,you are discriminative in friendship and psychologically speaking,a disturbed family background, sometimes tragically so, is responsible for it. In friendships, you are intensely loyal. Though you do and can appear detached, you are ultra-sensitive, specially in pride and self-respect. You are a little too over-bearing, never a happy ground for a stable friendship. Secrets will be well kept. Do not attach too much importance to minor lapses on the part of friends. You could be betrayed, resulting in a complete severing of all ties.

(Yea, i do wear masks a lot of times. I have so many different kinds and colours and shapes of masks that i interchange them. Haha..not funny..)

Problems that may arise for you, and their Solutions

As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics.

As a Scorpio you may see things below that really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is because you are failing to express the positive.

Problem : Suffering from an inferior complex where you feel self disgust and are disdainful of help from others.
Solution : You should try to admit that others, as well as yourself, have weakness and then practice forgiving those weaknesses until you notice them becoming less and less. Unbend and accept that you can be helped in your problems.

Problem : After you get everyone to agree with you and you get your own way, you are still not satisfied with the results.
Solution : Looking deeply within will show you that: having reached the point where you have nothing more to want for in a given situation you then realize just what you were really after. Look within first.

Problem : Disruptive marital relations or a breakup with a loved one.
Solution : You should try not to be scornful of what you perceive as a shortcoming in your partners personality and soften up your rigid, unbending attitude.

Problem : The peers in your group begin to avoid you, or drift away when you walk up.
Solution : If you feel persecuted and put upon you will express it in conversation, this causes people to be 'turned off' of you so try to change your attitude or, guard what you say .

(Hmmm..i'm not sure about this myself..People around me shall judge..)

Flattery and Flattering

Your temper
Of course you don't lose your cool. But your very demeanour projects haughtiness, pride and grand disdain for lesser mortals. Others are often found saying that anger sits on your nose, and you are raring to give your peace of mind to the first person who tries to act funny with you.

You are selective in the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superfluous types. Your tongue-lashing is generally in a soft hissing tone,for when you scream your voice tends to get shrill and loud, and you do hate drawing attention to yourself! When upset, you are angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that Scorpio wants to show is being out of control.

(All i can say for this part is, this is so darn true....)
