ps: i will post the wedding pics up soon!

the wedding came and ended, my relatives have also came and gone (actually they're still at the airport, or maybe boarding the plane now), and all the stress for the wedding came and went too!

it felt kinda surreal that day. i was sitting in church, thinking "wow, this is it" when i saw my bro all dressed up, and reality smacked me in the face when i saw my sister in law walking down the aisle with her dad. i am officially a sister in law now :D

not like it made any difference, coz i've always thought of her as my sister in law anyway.

the ceremony was beautiful, though i thought it was a tad rushed. it didnt even last an hour, and i am kinda bummed that i didnt get any nice pics of her walking down the aisle - she walked a bit too fast! and when i have some nice pictures, some idiot professional photographer has to be in the way! he better show us some nice photos! grrr..

and the reception itself was ok - i didnt really like the staff at the restaurant, including the boss, coz they weren't very helpful. they agreed that they'll be the one filling up the drinks, instead of living bottles on the tables for guests to do it themselves. we came home with SO many half or 1/3 full bottles, just because of them being lazy.

another thing was, the boss had this really angry look on his face for half the night, which really annoyed me. we're there to celebrate a happy cause, and to look at your dumb angry face! some of the staff had the same look too, but you know what? you're catering for almost 100 people, so it's expected that you would have heaps of stuff to do...dont have to show your grumpy face ok!

besides, we gave you guys the cake at the end of the night to say thank you, and i think my bro gave them a red packet each to thank them as well. i just think it's really rude to be a waitress and show your grumpy face when people are there to have a good time...

but all in all, we thought it went well, except for a few hiccups here and there :)

one thing for sure though, i am never going back to my usual hairdresser - he totally screwed up our timing due to lack of professionalism, and not knowing what their customers want. furthermore, everytime i throw in a suggestion, he'll just brush me off and start saying something else. HELLO IT'S MY HAIR OK and i'm PAYING you to do it!

we got there 2 hours before the time i wanted to be home to do my make up and stuff. his wife sat us down and stood beside her husband and just did nothing. then 20 minutes later, she came back and told my sister to sit down at the other chair. she then started doing this and that to my sister's hair WITHOUT even asking what sort of style we want or what we have in mind. she just started...and then 10 minutes into it, she started saying that my sister's hair is too fine and it's very hard to style. 20 minutes into it, she was saying her hair wouldn't stay after being styled. so i suggested that she used a curling thong to curl her hair and then style it up from there. she nodded, but continued to do what she was doing. where's the curling thong? i bet you they dont even have one!

almost an hour into it, she wasn't even done done half of my sister's hair. i was thinking an hour each would be more than enough, but i assumed wrong. after about 15 more minutes, she finally finished with my sister's hair. at this time, my sister looked as if she was about to start crying. they then started on mine, and again, they didnt ask what i i had in mind. noo...they just kept brushing and brushing and brushing.

i was really disappointed with the way they've done our hair. after the wedding, i came home to remove all the hair pins, only to discover i have a slight bump at the top of my head where they kept pushing the hair pins in very rough. it was SO painful!! i've never come across any hair dressers who just push the pins in without asking if it hurts or anything. and i certainly haven't come across any hairdresser who is SO rough!

arrghh!

just talking about it makes me so damn angry! i'm going to have my shower now coz i need to be a swim teacher shadow at 3.30pm today. bye!
