Wedding bells ring-a-ling-a-ling~

Well, not mine, definitely. It's actually the Chinese wedding dinner of Mavis and Ying Quan who went through their ROM ceremony last year :D *Throws confetti*

I was kinda shocked to hear that Mavis asked me to be one of the 'sisters'; After all, we aren't very close despite knowing each other for almost 2 years. Still, I'm not going to look a gift horse in its mouth. I would LOVE to be involved in the ceremony, and I am already comtemplating the colour of the new dress I would be getting for the wedding!

However, such occasions also awakened one of my innermost secrets(well, not really, but still).

I have always, always hoped to be a maid-of-honour some day... But I've missed a couple of chances - I couldn't be the maid-of-honour for my sis-in-law(apparently because my brother's the groom), so my niece took the place, and I was only 14 when my nanny's daughter got married. Seeing that I have so many close friends who mostly already came in BFF pairings, I suppose this is one selfish lil dream that'll never come true. Oh well!

Besides, I still have the dream that every woman has but mostly denies - To get married to the man you love in a lavish and romantic setting... In spite of the animosity I have towards the male species at the moment.

Hopefully the PTB will grant me that since I'm not likely to ever be maid-of-honour in this lifetime. :P

Engagement.

If someone leaves a comment on your profile, and one of the sentences says: Congratulations on the engagement!", what could it be? Can that word actually be used business-wise?

Right now, the only engagement that comes into mind is marriage. Yes, we have lost contact for slightly over a month, but considering that I've known you since last September... It makes me sick.


Dave Wood, you make me sick.

Predicament.

Thursday was...


It was a relatively simple lunch date. We went to the east to have lunch and chat, parked by the ECP to smoke and chat a lil more. I heard a few revelations that caught me off guard. Pleasant ones, of course.

I never knew that the man I'd always found charmingly handsome, had found me very attractive too, not to mention attracted to me enough to actually ask me out. I also never knew just sitting next to him in the car could feel... what's that word... right.

Too many ramifications, too many things at stake. For one, will A end up like H? Will I be able to prevent my emotions from joining the fray? Sigh. I don't know.

The angel on my right shoulder has been harping on me to back off, but the persistent devil on my left shoulder has had herself perched permanently on it, whispering her words of temptation into my ear, telling me to give this a go and see where it goes, even though deep down I know - Nothing good will ever, ever come out of it.

The taste of cigarettes and taste that was uniquely you, while being enveloped in a cloud of perfumed 'Eternity' air... Well, that one's gonna stick for awhile.


Thursday was... Well, Thursday was nice. More than nice.

The dating scene...

is something I don't excel at.

Yes, I might be rather efficient in keeping an intelligent conversation with men, but I'm not very experienced in dating.

I have went out on a few dinner/movie dates with a few men over the years, but I was with my ex-boyfriend for 5 years, between the glorious age of 17 - 22. I mean, my first puppy love was when I was 14 years old, and I have had a few 'boyfriends' between then whom I have barely dated. So, to actually go out with someone who's neither a girlfriend nor my boyfriend, and as an adult?

No, I'm not that experienced at all.

Remember my previous post about going for a drink/casual date with a guy? Well, that went splat. I am still trying not to wince at some bad decisions made... *Grimaces* Moving oonnnnn.


I have another lunch date set for this Thursday, where I happened to have taken the afternoon off in anticipation of my dear Li Ting's birthday celebration at Orchard Scotts Residences.

(HAPPY 24TH TING!!! I'll join you in 24th-dom in October, lol.)

I've always found... (Let's call him L.) L handsome, confident yet humble, and charming... Have I mentioned I have a thing (one of many) for men who look sharpish in an executive suit? *Sigh* Well, he used to be the topic of conversations and countless fantasies, but now he will actually be picking me up for lunch.

Of course, it might just be a simple lunch and all possibilities; the what-ifs and could-it-be?! are purely allegations cooked up by my overactive mind, but there's too many factors at stake in this simple lunch date that I'm not at liberty to reveal yet.


Well then, let just see how it goes... *Crosses fingers*


OH! And on an completely unrelated sidenote, anyone knows where to get chio 3.5inch/4inch sandals or pumps that can come in size 9? My ridiculously tall heels have all went to chio shoes heaven. :(

The Bank of England Protest.

I passed the TV by earlier on, and CNA was doing a report on G20 protesters.

There were boards saying 'Eat the Bankers!' and banker-esque manequins(black pinstripe suit with tie and white shirt, etc) being tied to the traffic lights and set on fire. I even read that earlier protesters marched behind models of the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', representing financial crimes, war, climate change and homelessness.



Gotta love the English.

While I do believe that most 'well organised' protests(more like protests that have huge turnouts and went out of hand, making international news) are somewhat effective in getting the message across and garnering public's attention, I can't help but feel that the riot police's style of handling the situation was only inflaming the protesters.

Just like the basic theory of chemistry - When you squeeze a cluster of molecules into an enclosed space, the structure hardens. I'm sure that of the protesters that were present, there's bound be some who were purely 'spectators'. Enveloping them within police walls only forced the people to act out as one single entity, especially with the media there to aggravate the situation.

Oh well. The G20 summit will prove to be very interesting, though I doubt much will come out of this much-anticipated chaos.
