3/4 Saturday's

Here came another bride!

Yup, a USM senior of mine got married today- Chor Yan to David Lim. Her service was held in the E&O Hotel, beautiful place and the ceremony was wonderful.

During the drive there it occurred to me its my 3rd wedding in a month! Wah-lau-eh...I've never been to so many in such a short time span, usually its one a year max. But as my friend pointed out, we're getting closer to that age when everyone around us will be getting married. Its when we become of.....*gasp*...."marriageable age". Bleh. What an annoying phrase.

Anyway- it was great to attend it and see the love that was so obviously in abundance. There were several familiar faces (Uncle Kok Joo), and it was a pleasant surprise to have Mr. Lian (PKA's Family Camp 07) speak. It was bi-lingual between English and Cantonese and he talked about the Four Gives - Giving Out, Giving Up, Giving In and ForGiving.

Giving Out - Give diamonds to your wife...hehe...No, not only material things but of yourself.
Giving Up - Cant just simply hang out with the boys till late night.
Giving In - Hard as it is, sometimes just have to do so in an argument, swallow pride.
Forgiving - Even if its something repeated 200 times, still gotta forgive.

He also spoke about wives submitting to husbands, and husbands loving their wives. I liked it when he said something like, "David- if you don't love Chor Yan, who will? Trust me, there are plenty men out there who would love her. But by marrying her, you've cut all other options so if you don't love her, who will?" Hmmmmm....

This groom is also a romantic. He surprised Chor Yan by singing a song (that i cant remember the title now) and i've always wondered what the bride's supposed to do when that happens. Well, she sang along and they were in their own little bubble (amidst the other bubbles) of joy. I told Li Yee, next time, we must potong the groom- before he surprises her, she must surprise him.

Congratulations Chor Yan and David.

Oh my goodness. Stupid Kevin Ho's got me semi-addicted.
He first introduced me to this YouTube clip of a fantastic ventriloquist, Jeff-fa-fa Dunham. He's so good that its as if his puppet, isn't inanimate but is a real being and he's actually conversing with them. He has several characters, so far I've watched Peanut, Walter, Achmed and few others. Peanut is my fav. Seriously hilarious!

Some of the content is 'touchy' so have to watch it with an open mind. Only a ventriloquist can get away with the jokes he makes i think.



Jeff Dunham, check him out.
