The connection of all three? Nothing! It was just my agenda of last week.
The Friend
My long lost friend came to Singapore. Long lost, because I haven’t met him for about five years. Time really flies, yes. It felt like last month when we saw each other in campus.
So, first thing he said, Hey, gendutan ya loe!
Dasar kunyuk, kayak sendirinya kagak…
But okelah, he said I’m better this way, dulu kayak papan setrikaan.
Trus biar gak digebok, usut punya usut, ternyata dia gak suka ama cewek kurus. Haha.. eh, tapi bener lho, FYI, sodara2 cewek terkasih di dunia, banyak kok cowok yang gak suka cewek papan setrikaan alias kurus, katanya gak asik gak ada dagingnya gak paten.., whatever turns you on lah!
It’s good to meet old friend, although it also reminds me of how long time has been. Imagine, many kunyuk could have been my friend for at least ten over years. Ck..ck..ck..
The Bay
Friday or Saturday night?
Me and Hubby went to this new mall called Central. We used to see it every time we passed by on the way to our theory class, now it’s open.
It’s a very confusing mall, not really shopper friendly, but it was modern and huge, only that not many shops had already been opened. So instead of shopping, we were wandering around the river side.
He-ho! I had no idea that this mall is actually on the Singapore river bay. Surprisingly, at night, it was happening and quite impressive. There were many tourists in the pubs and bars, there is a big playing fountain with a little girls playing. She looked just like kid from nowhere, she ignored all her surrounding and played hide and seek with the fountain, it was quite late at night but seemed like the parent didn’t mind. But it was an inspiring and fun to see her. You know, that’s how everybody should behave, screw the world, I want to have fun!
Anyway, the surrounding was quite romantic. Berasa kayak diluar negeri or kayak dipilem pilem. Keke..
The Wedding
My colleague’s wedding. It’s a different type of wedding because I had never attended a Malay style wedding before. So I met up with another colleagues because I chickened out to show up alone.
It was actually quite similar with Chinese wedding, only that it was done below the apartment block and seems like the bride and groom had to go through more suffering. Morning, the groom would have the ceremony at the bride’s place. Afternoon, they would return to the groom place. So we went there about 3 pm in the afternoon.
A bit of distraction. June and July, imho, is the worst months of the year. There are no public holidays, the weather is damn unbearable, if I don’t remember that I might be made during these months, I’d volunteer them to be changed. Anyone like two Decembers and two Februaries or two Octobers? Let’s kick out June and July.
After a while, we heard the news that the bride and groom had arrived. But many of us were to hot to move from our seats to see them. Or we heard was Dung dung dung Tekdung Tekdung..
It took about ten minutes then finally the group moved inside. (We saw from the big umbrella). Then we saw some dancers. Then Tekdung Dung Dung, for sometimes, when it stopped, it begun again, the drummer were all gathered around the group, so we couldn’t see much from our seats (We still hadn’t moved out lazy bums!). Another Tekdung Dung Dung Dung, actually the TekDung rhythm was quite nice, but combined with bloody hot weather it created a lot of headache. When the Tekdung really over, we formed a line to greet the couple, and it was actually the goodbye ceremony also. Pretty similar with Chinese Wedding. Replace the Tekdung with Opera Song, there you go.
It was quite fun to meet a lot of colleagues and eks colleagues there, and most importantly, their children are all very cute. I must say it’s very cute to see those fathers getting busy with their children also. Hm…man with kid…again, whatever turns you on!
P.S : Wedding day is suffering day, I say.
My colleague say, it’s made that way so that you will remember it for the rest of your life.
Hmm, I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe it’s also to discourage anybody to seek for second helping. Hm?
Sorry, but why it seems like I can’t find positive quotes regarding marriage? He he he he..
I cannot mate in captivity.

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work or prison.
