Headed off to a turbulent start this morning...faced a major war at home this morning, which manifested into a cold war eventually. The details are downright ridiculous, so I shall just leave things at that and am not delving into details. Anyways, by the time I reached home just now from the wedding dinner, seemed like things are ok...for now at least. We'll see the situation tomoro huh
Speaking of wedding dinner, it was boring yes. I mean, how fun can things be when you hardly know anyone? Or rather, the ones you know are the old forgies (aunts & uncles from maternal side). Since young, we've all been closer to my paternal side; we practically grew up together. So well, my bro & I attended the dinner for one main reason. Two actually; first and foremost coz mom wanted us to go and two, we wanted to go see that cousin whom used to teach us when we were young (remember I mentioned in the previous post?). The one getting married today is a cousin, younger brother of that cousin I mentioned above.
So well, my bro & I sat with my aunts & uncles, and all they do are gossip and talked about the people they met at the dinner *yawnz* But well, the food wasn't too bad. Tung Lok Restaurant at Liang Court Hotel. Great food actually. Oh I've digressed. Ha. Ok, so when the dinner began, my bro & I kept an alert eye out for anyone who might be THAT cousin. At one point, we thought we spotted him. SOmeone who looked like how he used to be (very vague memory), though this fellow looked really older than the cousin ought to be. So we discussed strategies about how we would approach the guy.
THankfully, before I took action, we spotted another guy who potentially might just be the correct one. And yes, one look at this guy confirmed our "suspicions" that he is DA ONE. So we bidded our time, coz I don't want to just simply go up to him out of nothing...His wife might just thot I'm trying something funny. Eventually, the best time came only at the end of the dinner, where everyone stood up and was preparing to leave. We made our way up to him and before I could say a thing, my bro opened his mouth first. "Remember us?" THat, of coz, was met with a momentary blank look.
Now this was really amusing. Coz this cousin used to teach us when we were still at Pri sch levels. My bro in P6, myself in P4. And this cousin used to rant and scream at my bro for 1) not doing his homework 2) not doing well in his tests/exams. Of coz, being the concientious student that I was, I got heaped with praises. Ha! It was little wonder then, that my bro hated him to the core, and never wanted to see him ever. I, on the other hand, loved him to death (not romantically pls hoh) and looked forward to him coming every week. THat of coz, was then, when we were all young and foolish. Heh.
So anyways, after we identified ourselves, we could tell he was pleasantly surprised. Initial shock even, perhaps. Then words just gushed out after that, like a dam opening its valve.
Time sure seemed to fly. In the blink of an eye, we've graduated and have joined the workforce now. A far cry from those Pri Sch students back then. And he was just an undergrad then, at a local uni. NOw he's married with a three-year-old daughter. Sigh...memories.

I had a fitful sleep last nite, which was largely due to that bad dream I had. It wasn't one of those horror nightmares of ghosts & vampires. Bad dream as in those really sad ones; those that will make you cry like a little child should you encounter it. Ok fine, mabbe not you, but me - definitely. Something that meant a great deal to me. Or someone...That first love. Yeah I know *rolls eyes* Not that I'm still pining for him, but no matter what happens, I can be married or whatever, but there will always be a soft spot for him in my heart. C'mon...who wouldn't right?
Anyways, to briefly summarise the dream - he brought his gf to intro to me (Duh!), then along the way, something happened and they quarrelled and fell out. Then I became the mediator and brought them back together again...and they walked up the aisle, happily married. Me? Sobbing quietly by the side lah, what else. Would I really be so generous in reality? I seriously doubt so...
Reality check: He does have a gf now and they are happily attached. Matter of time before I get his wedding invitation card, I guess. But that's a different matter altogether. Oh well...scientists said that you tend to dream dreams that are presently weighing on your mind. Well recently this topic of him did come up in a conversation I had with Isa & Angela, so there! That must be it. But if what I dreamt had happened in reality, I probably would cry my heart out. Haha...

Definitely Monday blues tomoro, following that holiday which resulted in a long weekend. Actually don't need to wait till tomoro, I've got the blues now already.
Next holiday coming up only in August (National Day)...that's another 2.5 months or so. Urgh. Hmm...probably I would have made a short trip away before that, in these couple of months leading to August. Yeah, I sure hope I do. Otherwise, think I will go mad first before my Canada trip in Dec.
*Yawnz* Feeling kinda sleepy now already...Have had long days over the hols. So pardon any typo or spelling mistake I've made. I've yet to pack my stuff for work tomoro. -.-"
