.......What the freak???Today's not my bro's wedding...it's my mistake...it's on the 14th..today's the day according to some customs when he's supposed to bring the gifts over to the gal's family and bring something back such as pillows and bolsters, tea ceremony cups and best of all...the fertility fruits!!Nope..they're not aphrodisiacs... but symbolics of it...like huge bunch of bananas, longans and sort...well well...at least it's not today...so i still have 2 weeks to go on a crash course on slimming and get nicer gowns for the dinner...haha..not so bad after all ah...Bro, if you see this, which i'm pretty sure that you wun, just wanna say forgive me for being such an inattentive sister to ya...you know, it's exams time...lotsa things on my mind..
Nevertheless, we held a party at home today...but ah..it's pathetic...the number of family members turned up is probably 1/2 of what constitutes my whole family tree...while at the bride's side...it's full house man....my mum said that it should be this way...cause the Chinese value this gift-exchanging day for the bride (in the past, ppl would crowd at the bride's pl on a day like this and see what the groom would give to her family...symbolises how wealthy he's and how much he's willing to give to her parents for her hand)..then on the actual marriage day, more crowd would be at the groom's pl because the gal's married into the boy's family...hence that explains the less crowd...Nevertheless, i had a hard time entertaining the guests and being a maid to them for the day..."K, give xxx a drink"..."K, give Ah Ma the food and spoon"..."K, no more ice already...go downstairs and buy...bring YYY along also..."...I'm so tired by now!!!!
Then my grandma asked me to the room secretively...Thought what she wants from me...more family gossips??haha...no lah..anyway, she passed me a chain..with a pandant of colorful gems...she bought it recently...then suddenly she broke into tears...Oh my god!!Why's she crying??Then she said:"K..this is for you...you must wear it ah..just something little..." "But ah Ma, why you spent money on me??you should save it for yourself...it's really okay..it's too expensive" "it's not expensive....you can wear it 2 weeks later for the dinner mah..." and tears started streaming down her wrinkled cheeks...Oh my goodness...the grandma whom i've always grumbled about being gossipy and long-winded, and neglected for the past years is giving her love and concern for me..I felt so bad..Anyway, i thought it's not the real thing (Okie, i'm bad but she gave me a fake chain, you know, those she bought at the roadside stall in the market, so i thought this one's a fake one also lah...)..so when my sister-in-law happened to see this (we're in the room with my aunt), i said maybe it's a fake one...and my aunt got so angry with me....well, not exactly angry but she chided me for taking my granny's effort so lightly..she said it's "half-real"(wonder what that means..maybe only the chain's white-gold or something lah) and that i should treasure it...Ops, i know i've commited a sin...by not being appreciative..Sorry granny...i should treasure it...So from then on, i told myself that every mth when i get my pay-check, she'll always be on my "Giro" list...i'll give her a bit of allowance...just to thank her for being such a great granny in her own ways...Thanks Granny....
Prayer:"God, Thanks for giving me such a wonderful night yesterday, for bringing Father Luke to the Family and for giving us his 53 mins talk..for the YC for including me into their group...for my family for the happy occasion and the love i've experienced from my granny..Father Luke reminded us that by receivin your body, we're to carry your words and spirit and spread em around...i think i've failed to do it...still trying..it's hard but God, I'm trying...Father Luke also reminded us that prayer's not a wish-list (though i've been doing that all along) but to immerse ourselves into your love...Hence, God, thanks for loving me! I love you too!.."
