What's Up?

Wedding Number 3 this year ended yesterday.
And coming up would be Wedding 4 and news from a classmate yesterday - Wedding 5!
"Tis the season to be jolly ...."

Yesterday's wedding was held at Rasa Sentosa, which was pretty nice because its by the seaside. Nothing beats sea, sun and sand really. And because it started at around 6, we get to enjoy some light before night fell. Furthermore, it is so relaxing to have wedding dinner at that time. You don't have to worry that its getting late (it will take many hours to be late haha). So a few of us (JC classmates) had a pretty good time catching up. All those antics and nonsense things we did seemed so recent though it was already freaking 8 years ago! *gasp*
And i so enjoy buffet dinners. You get to walk about once in a while, and choose exactly what you want to eat, and also get to taste different kinds of food. There's salad , with walnuts! And sushi, and of course dessert. The only complaint I have- NO COFFEE to go with my dessert!

It was a simple Christian wedding with singing, sermon and the ceremony. I don't usually enjoy sermons but i can't help but think that what the pastor said is very true. "A marriage with 2 strings will be stronger than one. A marriage with a cord of 3 strings will be the strongest. (well... something like that). And its not the couple with one third party. Its the couple and God.
How true. In many marriages, its up to the couple to iron out differences. For a Christian family, you can count on the faith , and will probably even have the whole congregation of church to support you. Afterall, its a marriage blessed by God, they would say. Who could dispute that?

Another thought- Friends asked me, so what's up?
And when usually when people ask me that, I'll just reply "Nothing much, still the same"
But ...
I had eye surgery on Monday, had new specs, met up with friend, went for dance, am enjoying afternoon naps, going for show, shifted to new school, applying for SLP, going for audition etc...
So what do we decide to tell people? Why do we have to rack our brains when we are asked that question?
Is it because we only want to say what is deemed as important to other pple? Especially for people we haven't met in the longest time, do we have the tendency to sift our brains for the biggest "news" that had just happened in our lives?
Oh well... maybe the next time someone asks me this question, I'm going to tell them the first thing that pops up, even the most trivial thing. For example "Oh crap. I've been constipated for a few days." Or "My eye is feeling itchy, i think its my contacts" Or "I have been having afternoon naps almost every day, eat your hearts out!"

Maybe this would stop them from asking such an open-ended question like "What have you been up to?"

Anyway, Before I end off, i should announce- i finished my lesson plan this week by 4pm on a Sunday. Cheers!

Random thought:
I actually chose Times New Roman for this entry. Its so pleasing! *snigger*
I guess its a sign that I'm ready to return to a life using this Font, Double spacing, 1000 words. Am I?
Please let me have a chance to go back to NUS!!! *fingers crossed*
