Dedicated... to DewDrop...

Yesterday's was DewDrops' customary and I was honoured to be 1 of her 'Jie Mei's :) My first time so was pretty excited about it! Went w her to do our nails on Thursday night & went to do hair treatment on Friday night so that I will have nice straight hair on Sat. Haiz... I miss having nice straight hair...

Reached her house @ ard 740am in the am after buying ice for 1 of our haggling games. Also (thankfully... being the scatterbrain that I am) remembered to buy/bring the sour plums bought for the 酸，甜，苦，辣 'segment'. She was already nicely dressed & made up when we reached... so pretty!! We went about getting ready for the games and also took many pics w the lovely lovely bride. As expected, she was v excited and nervous about the whole thing and I told her that she would have to try to control her tears later or her makeup will run heh!!

So anyways, the guys reached about 9am (i thnk!) after having breakfast wor!! And her hubby was made to shout up from the carpark that he loved her. We made him do it like 3 times, by which many people fr the neighbouring blocks were looking out of the window!! But haggling didn't go quite well leh... our 1st red packet only had $8.88 wor!! Alamak!! Not even enough to buy breakfast??? :PPPPP Anyhow, we did have loads of fun before finally opening the door for the groom :) Then it was the tea ceremony & more tea ceremony (& food!!) before we went back to the couple's house for a final run through for the dinner next Fri.

Was tired after the long day but felt really happy for DewDrop. She is a very sweet, responsible and patient gal whom friends can definitely count on. Have known her for almost 5 years now; had our share of gripes, grievances & gossip about our colleagues and pp from our Division; had our share of working together on divisional projects that only brought us closer; had our share of many sushi meals with our cohort mates; had our share of icqing during work to kill our bordedom; had our share of seeking each other for help for constituency projects and the list is endless. Through it all, I have no complaints about this gal; she just takes everything in her stride and looks at everything in a positive light. She is 1 of the people that I am blessed to have known in PA and though we are in different organisations now (conincidentally, our offices r q near each other...) I know this friendship will remain for a long long time to come. Happy for her that she will be embarking on a new journey of life together with someone who treasures and loves her and whom I can tell will look after her well... Congrats my friend!! Have a blissful marriage and hope to hear little feet running around your house soon!!
