Update on the wee hours of 19th December: My sis dyed my hair. Haha it was my first time leh. At first wanna streak only but then decided to do both. She had to use foil to like cover the streaks first. Then do the whole head. Abit pain la coz she said is the acid. Haha after I wash everything off wah can see the colour leh haha! I so happy. We painted our nails to about 2 hehe. It was nice having my sis back. The 3 of us talked and laughed. I hardly talk and laugh with my other sis. It's extremely hard to describe how much I love my sis. My willingness to wear a pink dress and heels I think speaks alot lolx. Then alot of memories came back lor. Haiz. I really miss those times. We decided to sleep and not wait for my bro in law to bring the car here. 3 phones were set to 5 am hehe.
Day Zero
When I woke it seemed like I hardly sleeped at all. I continued to rest as I was not needed. Everyone was already up. My sis had already bathed with the flower water too. Got up, and helped my mum wash the kitchen floor. Wah the makeup artist so accurate 6.30 come up. Her bag looks cool too lolx. My uncle called and said the guy who was supposed to pick up his son not there yet. I looked at the time and it seemed a very weird thing so I told him to call back later. I gave my second sis hp while she was bathing to call her boyfriend. Haha he said he was already in the car with him. How blur can my uncle be? As I was about to call him he rang and said sorry he had already left hehe. Funny case. He should have checked first what. Then my sis friend Sharon came. I bathed, and dun know my imagination or what the colour seems more obvious. As I finished changings my sis friends came. I dun know what they are called. But there are four of them. Maybe bridesmaid or something. The 'jie mei'. Then my cousins' family came. Wah the 4 jie mei chio leh hehe. All so cute too. Soon everyone was here. And my auntie from Yew Tee came to help cook too. So good of her. But lucky her transport is just a straight mrt here. But still is pretty far especially since she not used to coming here.
My sis asked Sharon help me style hair haha. I didn't like it at all leh. So flat. When I went out everyone shocked leh lolx. I also roughly know the jie mei coz they always go my sis house play mahjong. Everyone got something to say hehe. The most common is like "you really love your sister", "you look very 'pretty' (lolx) today", "wah", "give your sister alot of face". Hehe. I try ren la. One day only ma. After awhile, I went to the window and saw my bro-in-law coming out of the car. I suddenly felt excited. My second sis had pasted stickers on the lift door leh lolx. He came to the window and all the jie mei had alot of fun. Ask him funny questions, take money from him, and make him eat and drink disgusting stuff. Beer with egg inside. Seaweed with mayonnaise and other stuff. Banana split. Means banana split into half and inside got onions, garlic, wasabi. Then open the door, and I ask for money before he come in. Wah inside so many leh. Then he shout "Chailing wo ai ni!" then we open the gate let him in. The door he also shout then open, go into the room. Haha she so chio leh just sit there. My mum fed her some food then they left and we followed. Went to his house, and this was my first experience wearing heels. And these were high. Very soon pain le. Then must walk up 3 floors to his house lolx. But coming out of the car and walking was difficult for my sis. Coz there were red ants and they crawled up. Luckily all were removed. Had to do this repeatedly, every few steps. We waited, then go their house in Tampines to change. Walking down the stairs was a challenge hehe. She changed into the chinese thing then we left for my house. Quite good exchange leh, give my parents drink tea, then they give her jewellery, diamonds hehe. They also had to eat some. Soooooooo tempting leh! Hahaha. Prawns so big, duck, chicken, fish, soup... They left for the hotel first. My aunt who helped cook went to bathe. My mum got make up by my aunt. My room in the morning until now still so full. Coz everyone was doing hair, dressing up all that. Then I also got abit of makeup lolx. Those funny stuff at the eyes. I dun like! Haha she make lighter la but nvm. One day!
I left with my cousins, sis and boyfriend. He drove us to the hotel then went to fetch his parents. I went to their room. Xavier so cute hehe! He is the cutest baby I ever seen leh. He can speak dialect so well too. I can't speak a word. Soon everyone left the room and only left my sis, makeup artist and my cousins. We watched cartoons lolx. Then it was quite late le so went down. By that time my heels were killing me. It was getting difficult to walk straight but I put up a presentable show hehe. I said let's try this way then my cousins showed me the sign that I hadn't noticed hehe. 'Wedding of Chai Ling and Mark'. I braced myself. Every relative who saw me said the same stuffs. Actually everyone who knew me la. But... I put up with it. One day! Just smile and try to act pretty and nice. Lucky I saw my uncle then can help me take my stuff. The bag that I took couldn't half carry all the things I brought. Can't even zip lor. Overflowing le lolx. Signed, finally went in, went to my cousins table. There was a space as their maid didn't go. The couple came in and I went back to my seat. I sit VIP table leh lolx. Had to wait quite long for them to serve us. Ours is they give personally, no need to reach over and grab. The bad thing is cannot take extra. But I think this is a good thing so my stomach will have space for the later courses. After I finish each course I will go to my cousins table and talk talk, or go to my second sis friend. This works well coz at the VIP table we only got one bowl of shark's fin. I went to my cousins table and I got another bowl. Heng arh. But that was the only time I got food la. But it wasn't so bad coz my parents had to go visit tables. So I ate theirs too. My sis came to me and told me our old neighbour wanted to see me. I remembered them but I didn't know what they looked like. We talked bout some stuff. Like the time I rode the bicycle down the stairs. I always imitated stuff and they said it was lucky I didn't imitate superman lolx. Jumping off the 11th floor, that would have been it. Found out her son is going out with Qz's second sis. Cool. Last time we used to play together. They shifted ten years odd ago. Finally I could go away. It was not as if I didn't want to be with them. I was there quite long, so it was awkward, plus I was hungry and the heels were killing me again.
The yam seng part was abit awkward. No one went up so I got impatient and went up first. Even then so little people. Haiz. Eat and do walk about some more, occasionally playing with Xavier. He collecting all the chocolates. All the food was excellent. Except the yam dessert which I wouldn't even look. I ate 3 plates of noodles, mine and my parents. And I had their fish and vegetables too. Ok my dress was tighter now. Talked at my cousins table again. We played the drinking game hehe. Wine was nice leh I didn't know. The place started to empty and I wondered where my family was. Then suddenly my dad called and told me to quickly come out take picture. Wah I didn't even know. I ran out and there they were all ready cept for me hehe. Then I immediately went to sit down and take off the shoes. Recently whenever I sat down I took off my shoes. It really helps alot. Then we went to the VIP lounge to take pics and tea ceremony. I called Joanna to lend me her shirt. I didn't trust my mum hehe. Actually after this wanted go shopping with my second sis but then my cousins were tired, I was tired, and more importantly my feet were tired. As in excruciating pain every 3 steps tired. Walking on non carpet floor was murder. I was starting to get more bad tempered the more I walked. I even felt like just taking it off and walk, or take it and hurl with all my might at the unlucky stranger who happened to get hit. I dun know I just felt in such an angry mood. When I reached home Joanna had put her shirt on my door le. Thanks! I immediately changed, swept the floor and played com to keep me from sleeping. Wah the floor so much hair. I wanted to watch Shrek later. But I lie on my bed and fell asleep without knowing it. When I woke it was already 9 so I went back to sleep.
Today
Next time I woke was 1 plus coz I was really cold. I couldn't sleep so I thought about some stuff. Hew yenn smsed. Jiefang saying she can't bring seaweed. All these made me think of band. My mum was sleeping so I couldn't wake her up to tell her to wake me up. So I reminded Dom to bring shorts just in case and Shan joo to give me a wake up call. I wondered whether band would start at 8.30 coz half day only. So I decided to put 'wake me up before 8.30'. So she can get the cue that I am not sure. Thankfully, I could fall asleep. I had been lucky so far, a dreamless sleep all the way.
Woke at 8 by Shan joo. Thankfully I heard the call. I was still kind of groggy. There was no useful information so I just pretended I heard and said yeah all the way. Went to bathe and got ready. Haha dun know my imagination or what but like each time I wash my hair become more obvious. Maybe is sunlight ba. But still is like different leh. I dressed and the shirt is like so small lor lolx. Just fit my frame hehe. I was about to eat coz it looked good and I hadn't had dinner. But I decided to call Dom to double check he got bring or not. He said "you are going to be late you know." I was sooooooo shocked. Band was at 8.30!!! I panicked and rushed and took an empty water bottle. Took off the necklace. Left the house at 8.30 and forgot my clarinet. Went back to take. Luckily the bus came quite fast. I really rushed all the way. But then very difficult to run coz the ball of my feet still hurt and I felt weak with no energy. But when I saw the gate I ran all the way through. They doing marching. I found his bag and took the shorts and changed first. Aiyo their first words is the hair leh. Is it that obvious. Fall in and realized I was too jittery and was so not ready for marching but can't be helped. Sectionals finally. But my section had to 5 rounds for obvious reasons. I realized too late it was totally obvious. I thought only under sun. somemore dun know where my sis put my gel I cannot hide abit in the morning.
The sectionals was totally boring. A half day band is useless expecially if Mr Poh is not here. Long notes was a real pain. In fact everything was. Then had to go hall for the formation. And finally finish. Dom said he was at the back of the hall still can see leh. Kaoz. The only good thing was that we took a sectional photo. After band go burger king. I didn't eat coz at home got food. Lots of food. Then Hew yenn brought me to see the spray and then I went home. Eat, talk. The yam seng part was a hot topic. Talking about why the reaction was so slow, why no one went up. Then is whose fault, this that. Sms my sis about today haha. She was still at the hotel. In the afternoon my dad took my aunt's stools back to her house. At the same time can meet my sis downstairs and pass her the stuff. She is really sooo chio leh. He better take good care of her. Came back, and play com. Wrap present, bathe, eat dinner. Watch my wife and kids. Then now online trying to receive the pics. Gonna get durians from my sis soon, and she's coming home tml for dinner. They must come back on the third day to sort of visit us. Haiz. I miss her so much. And I felt that I did alot ytd. But compared to what she did my whole life I have an extreme mountain of a debt to repay. Thank you for everything. I love you.
