After a bit more than 2 freaking exhausting weeks, having to do overtime for every freaking day (aside from being sick), I thought I would be too tired for anything.
But!
Hubby (this doesn’t sound right, somehow!) apparently had something to make my day!
Check it out!!
Tadah!! :D
At first everything seemed to be easy. The hotel had practically taken care of all the big things to settle – the wedding favour, the florist, and the invitation card. So 3 months did not seem to be too short.
Then realisation came, and suddenly there were so many holes to the supposedly perfectly fabricated wedding day.
The pre-wed pictures would not just suddenly appear out of nowhere. The guests were not going to settle themselves into the best seating arrangement possible. The family members were not going to find themselves accommodation. An awesome vow was not going to create itself from thin air. The wedding officiate definitely was not going to magically appear on the stage to help us with our vows. The bouquet was not going to fall into my lap by itself. The videographer was not going to volunteer to record us. The nails were not going to beautify themselves with all the glitters and studs. The thank you speech was not about to be granted to our brains on the dot. The right songs were not going to play automatically on the wedding day. And all other bla bla bla.
There were so many things to settle, and believe me, it was not a piece of cake.
But it is possible as long as you have these two things:
1. The most patient groom ever – The one who sticks by you even when you turn into a bitch every single day before the wedding day.
2. The support from your beloved friends and family members, physically and emotionally.
Touty and her husband said that a wedding is an extremely good opportunity to see not how much the couple love each other, but how much love they receive from everyone else is.
And yes, on my big day, I really felt the love.
The wedding would simply be a disaster, without our beautiful MC, who had put so much love and effort into the whole schedule and small little details involved. Or without the pre-wed photographer and video maker, who had wholeheartedly and patiently fulfill all the requests that we have. Or without the event organiser, who travelled all the way from China, just to run here and there, made phone calls, and answered everything needed, on the big day itself. Or without the songs burner, who copied all the songs for the reception at the very last-minute. Or without the song and video player, who came very early in the morning just to learn on how to play those well. Or without the two photographers, who, I heard, had made the effort to learn about wedding photography, just for this wedding. Or without the violinist, who had to keep repeating the songs over and over again to allow us to practise.
And the wedding day would not happen that beautifully if not from the support of our closest friends (or at least mine), who got attacked all the time, because of all the frustration and stress that the bride was having. Yes, Mitch, especially you. And I am so so sorry!! :C
Anyway, the wedding was awesome, thanks to all of you! :)
So, people, thank you for the love!!
Much love from both of us! <3
Cheers!

It has almost been three months.
You know what I miss most about writing? It releases your thoughts. You know those little things you say to yourself, all day long? All the small little ideas, the stupid bullshit, the brilliant wisdom, the sadness, frustration, anger, bliss, happiness, contentment – the unspoken. They untangle, and suddenly you get a clearer picture of the what, the why, the how, the who and to whom.
It allows you to play around with words. To be the hero of your story. Or the victim. Or the lover. Or the best friends. Or the child.
More importantly, it allows you to dream.
And for a while, you get to be the person you’ve been striving to be.
And for a moment, you love yourself just a little bit more.
My beloved boy is now 3 years old!
Sending you much much love from the little red dot, and many many hugs and kisses!
I can’t believe you are already a grown dog now. I’m so proud of you. And I miss you too, more and more each day.

The Barber’s Speech
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone, if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness — not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term.
The answer was so “profound” that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn’t ceased…
Bonus Question:
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote
Proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
“First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell,
let us look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion,
we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.”
This student received the only A..
-OMG Thats Funny
