Saturday Night Fever

Saturday was great!

We had this cluster meeting at this guy's place. He's called Zi Zheng. And he has the most amazing house, I'd rate it the best I've ever seen. It's definitely in the top 30 houses in Singapore or something. His house is situated at the top of this hill, so when you look out, all you see are fir trees and sometimes the houses of other roofs. It was like a snapshot out of Finland. It's Amazing!

Everyone there were fussing about food, about games and just being funny. I almost don't know anyone there, except Pauline and Esther. It was fantastic that Esther went... because I was freaked out when I realise I was the only one waiting for Pauline to go to the cluster meeting. I thought I was the only person going in cell! And Esther was relieved too. We were the only two people representing our cell! I kept reciting in my head, "I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come..." then I guess it was better when I actually reached there, and the people weren't unfriendly. So I relaxed.

Zi Zheng has these almighty stairs that reach up to his bungalow, and they were very Cinderella-ish. According to some peeps like Ho Wi (who I indefinitely gave an English name to, Kowen - cause I didn't catch his name properly). Elaine suggested Pauline to have her wedding here, I would think that's a pretty good idea! Then we can have a pool party and push everyone in the pool. Haha... I'm being stupid.

We played a really fun game. Which was pretty easy to figure out, loads of spoofs. Sam kept laughing and laughing at the retarded actions we were doing. Like when I was leader, I kept making everyone jiggle their hands, and it became very very Parkinson's. Hahaha...

Esther was so high about pool! haha... I passed it out cause I got sick of pool since class chalet. Then we had fantasitc home-made cakes. This girl... she's called Alina if I'm not wrong. She made the most fantastic cheese cake I've ever tasted. The cheese tasted like ice-cream. Alina is a professional... Wow.

Unfortunately, I had to leave early to go to Hanif's cousin's wedding. Took Elaine's car back to church, since it was easier for me to go back home to change from there. Elaine was going bonkers at the traffic jam... she's pretty fun loving. The ride took longer than I expected. 45 minutes or something. So I fell asleep. In a stranger's car. That was not very polite... let me smack myself for that.

So I finally got to go back home, change, and head for the wedding.

I think I got my information wrong, because I mistook the wedding to be at Fort Canning Park. So when Hanif came up to meet me and pointed it out to be at the neighbourhood CC at Serangoon, I was kinda stunned. Nevermind about that, I'm always that blurrrrr.... *sotong*.. Hanif did a dramatic hairstyle. It looked exactly like the one Austin had. But he was well dressed. I just came in untucked long sleeves and black waist-downs.

The wedding was rather untraditional. Instead of the bride wearing traditional malay costume and waiting for the groom to come, and she covering her face with a fan and all those big hoo-ha, The bride and groom came together in a car, in western wedding outfits. Haha... I pointed that out to Hanif. And said he knows.

He told me the history of all his cousins. And there was one who came over to flirt with us. Ahahaha... she's 16 but her hair's dyed, and she's wearing blue contacts. Wonder how the school allows that... anyway he pointed out the cousin that can see ghosts, and this other cousin, who was really sweet. She giggled like an innocent girl. Charming.. very very charming girl indeed.

Indeed! The groom was an African American who was even paler than me. He didn't look very african cause he's actually very white. But the bride and groom made a very good couple.

So, this is the second Malay wedding I went to. And as chinese custom, I gave a red packet and got this snazzy pen and fruitcake as wedding gifts. OH WAIT. THE FRUITCAKE. It's still unrefrigerated! I just remembered!

Ok, I gotta run.

Bye!
