Wine, Women, Song

I had a good reunion at a wedding recently. It was fantastic (despite some interesting comments on my choice of remaining in singledom - read post below). Mainly because it had brought back so many forgotten memories of my uni life. Sweet uncomplicated penniless student days.
The wine was flowing. The women were beautiful (and thankfully so were some men) but the songs were excruciating. Karaoke weddings -- it's a great way to have fun. Yes, indeed. You're never sure if the crowd is laughing with you or at you.
Still - I reckon - if I marry one day (no, I'm not a dyke; yes, I like men; yes, I do want to marry some day but I'm not too worried if I don't; no, i can't say the same about my parents) I would love to have a karaoke wedding. Why? Frankly because people actually do have alot of fun laughing - at and with you. I won't deny it. It's a contagious fun. But I'm going to make it classy and tasteful. And I'm going to make my dad sing a song for me.

So here's a list of things I'd like to have at my wedding: (Hey, every girl is entitled to have wishful thinkings about her own wedding).

I want:
1. A carousel & a band
2. Giraffes & peacocks
3. A garden party with gazebos
4. Fairy lights and ribbons
5. Champagne & crayfish; heck, I'll make it a BBQ
6. A grassy dance floor so I can dance without shoes

YES! I'm going to make mine a carnival!!
So what if it's strange? At least it's a night everyone will remember.

But see? they're all rather simple requests - a good time without getting flustered or frazzled because the hell with it, it's a wedding party. And weddings are suppose to be a fun time for brides and grooms. Not filled with panic attacks or hyperventilation. Leave that to the wedding planner. If you can't afford one - there are always friends. Ekekekekeke... (by the end of it, you won't have any left... kekekekeke)

Having good friends is very much like having the right partner. You're commited to one another for better or for worst. EKEKEKEKEKEKE...

Being a Woman

I was carpooling with two couples to a wedding when:
GirlFriend #1 said: "There are so many weddings to go to this year..."
Me: "Yeah... everybody seems to be getting married."
GF #1: "How do you feel every time you go to one? Doesn't it make you want to marry too?"
Me: (Uh-oh, she's going to start her 'Evils of Being Single' lecture) "Er... I feel happy for them. I'm happy when they're happy."
GF #2: "Eh GF#1, why don't we introduce her to some guys?"
Me: (Getting non-plussed) "If you want to meet more guys, you can go ahead without me. I'm not going to be your excuse."
Everyone: (sympathy laughter) "Hahahaha..."
GF #1: "Do you need lessons on how to be a girl?"
Me: O_o *smiles sweetly* "That's OK. I'll just go have a sex change."


Well, to be fair to GF#1 - she's the type of girl that likes to look good for her boyfriend. Which is fine y'know, because some girls are just brainless like that. I remember she said this to GF #2 once: "If you want to keep your guy, you have to be everything he wants you to be." And I thought, 'gee, how primitive.' Imagine, women are now educated. And with education, we have jobs. With jobs, we have money. And with money, we are financially independant. And yet, with all independence, we have to be everything a guy wants in a PS2 character: boobs, arse & without opinions. And permanent make-up.

I don't get it.

I love being alive. Almost every minute of it. My cousin Adeline is down from Sydney and she's a brilliant person. And I'm thinking, this is what a girl should be. A person with an extraordinary personality. And incredible intelligence. She's a 24-year old who has thought, 'what am I without experience? Let's quit my job, travel around Europe, meet the world, breathe in different cultures and come back with a re-newed spirit. Life is about knowing, learning & living.' This is such an ironic weekend. On one spectrum I meet a girl who thinks the world of her boyfriend (who may or may not marry her); and a girl who has the imagination to know that it's more than incredible just to be alive.

Rather interesting being a woman don't you think?

Don't forget the laughter, the love, the memories of joy that you have been blessed with when... the days seems full of worries. For they will soon pass.
Don't forget your friends, your family, your dearest when... the days are filled with strangers and loneliness. For they too shall pass.
Don't forget how easy it is to be you when... the days seem a little harsh and judgmental. Because they too shall pass.
For all that will remain in this lifetime are your happy memories. So turn that unfamiliar frown into the endearing smile I know. And all that you fear shall pass.
Love always, Tan.

Killer (1) My boss (2) My comic EA (3) Birthday Girl who had to stand on the chair and had the whole TGIF singing (4) Mini but Vivace Voce Mich (5) The Council Leader.

Comic Models & Faces :-)

Don't believe everything you see in a mag. Lots of preparation goes into a shoot. We get the clothes, choose the clothes, steam 'em, put them on the model, clean 'em and return. JY (pix) adjusts the model's belt so it'll look fancy dandy.

This is what I do almost everyday in my job. This here is a fashion shoot that we did recently for August. We work two months in advance so everything that we do has to be pretty much updated. It isn't hard since trends everywhere and other are usually faster there than it does in Asia. Imitation is a form of flattery. *grin*
