Wedding Bells

As you can see, I have added new features (again, I know). Haha… I tried the translator, and seriously except for a few words I recognize in Japanese and Korean, I wonder if the whole translated blog makes sense. Because I always type short form or net-spelling words, which means it’s not a proper English word like ‘which = wic’. So from now on, I will have to try my best to type all in proper and recognized English words, so that the translation does not turn into crap. Oh my, typing this paragraph alone makes me tired cause of sticking to the proper English. Just goes to show how ‘proper’ my English has always been. ;P Oh, and I wonder what are smiley faces translated into. Haha…

Ok, after trying in Chinese (since I read a lot more Chinese than Korean/ Japanese), it sounds ridiculous!!! But I guess it sticks to the main meaning though the structure sounds… weird. And my blog title ‘Rain Or Shine’, is translated into ‘Bu Jian Bu Shan’! Haha… Nice one. The section ‘about myself’, is totally absurd, but nevertheless delivers the meaning. Okay, some of my blogs become rubbish due to the use of net-English so I think some day some time I shall take some time to go back and do corrections.

Oh, and just for your information (see, I usually use FYI, but now cannot!), you can translate part of this blog by clicking the Alta Vista Blue header part. Then copy and paste it into the popup window.

Last Saturday I logged on (not from my house though), but my page appeared disastrous! Haha... Don’t know why it’s like that, but it seems okay when I open the page here this morning. Anyway, I tried doing corrections to the last post but it seems time consuming and dead boring. And it still didn’t make better sense. So I gave up. Sorry for those using translation feature just bear with me. At least you can still get what I’m trying to say… I think.

This morning JL showed a photo of a wedding she attended recently (should be during the weekend)in Merdeka Palace. KC was saying something, and I, as usual wasn’t paying much attention. I was actually standing there waiting for KC to dig out the lost SPC form, but they had evidently engaged into a really interesting conversation. It was something like this…

JL: She was so sexy you know. Her dress was bare back split all the way down to her butt.
KC: Haha… But she’s so fair and she looks beautiful in her wedding gown. (Gazing at the photo, while I was wondering when she would give me the SPC form.)
JL: You know what… The groom is more than 10 years her senior… (This is when I finally tuned to their conversation frequency)

… Don’t know what they were saying, as I was squinting at the photo now-it’s only the size of a name card. And yeah, the guy did look 10++ years older than the girl. By the time I retuned to their frequency, the conversation had just gotten from hot to SUPER-burning hot.

KC: (almost exclaiming) What, so old?! I cannot believe it. … (and she kept repeating it) When KC finally gave JL a chance to explain…
JL: Yalar, he’s her manager when she worked as Chemical engineer somewhere… etc… etc…

I began to lose interest again. Is age such a big problem? If the love each other, just go ahead lah… and I was still waiting for my SPC form... I think they got into a debate about the age thing (looks too) while I stood there, obviously invisible. Somehow, despite KC speaking so fast and anxiously, I managed to catch something which again brought my attention back to the topic.

….(in middle of age compatible debate)
KC: Same age as me lah, she’s my classmate mah.

Me: Wh..what?
KC: XXXX mah. My class one. (In an expecting tone) You don’t know her? (Because I told her I can’t remember anyone else from her year the last time she asked me)
Me: (mouth drop open and grabbed the photo from JL’s desk)

JL and KC stared at me.

Me: (looking up from the photo and barely whispering due to shock) Oh my gawd, it IS her!
JL: You know her?

I can only nod. And to think I’ve looked at the photo and not recognized her.

KC: Yala, same school mah, so not so surprising to know each other.
Me: (Actually, I don’t know many seniors one. So I explained.) Oh, actually I only know her from badminton.

KC and JL continued their saga of unbelievable age-gap marriage. While I asked myself what there is to be so shocked about when I found out who the ‘heroine’ was. I mean, 24 is a normal if not ideal age to get married (for most girls I think).

I have never been to a wedding dinner. And many people gaped disbelievingly at that. Is it such a surprise? Because my cousins are almost same age as me. About 2 or 3 got married but I wasn't around in Kuching then. Eh wait. Erase that. I think I have! When I was about 5? or younger. Now I remember cause I remember the photo of my youngest Aunt who got married. So did I attend? cause I only remember the church part. I cannot remember anything else. Maybe I was left out from the fun part being so stupid, I meant young then.

Okay la, I erm (OK wat is ‘erm’ in other languages I don’t know but well as long as it’s not too far from the meaning) think that’s all for now.
