Make a Clean Break, Man!!

19th September 2006, Tuesday

Less than a month to go towards my big day and everything in my life at the current moment just rotates around the faithful day...

After down with the flu since Thursday, BY followed up with a rather severe case of bronchitis which warrants her to rest at home for the past 2 days...
With tight schedule breathing down my neck as I envision to complete this current project a week before my big day (which follows by a week and a half sabbatical from work)...

Despite my constant whining about her absence which is instrumental for my workflow as I need the sample plates that she usually will create, I think I could be the cause of her sickness to aggravate from a harmless flu...
On Friday when we meet up with YM and LF at Causeway point for dinner when I handed them the wedding invitation cards and endless hours of throwing scorns at our past colleagues which drew the ire of the very unprofessional staff from that Japanese cuisine joint in the basement level of the building as we had took up that place for a good 3 hours while the relentless line is being queued outside as if the food there was really that scintillating...
After dowing 2 glasses of "Pink Lady" (not the 80s J-pop group but a concoction of lime juice, ribena and Sprite), her coughing just worsen into a state that it kept her awake at nights...
Well after so many gym sessions with me, it seems like her immune system is very much still impaired...

While the IMF/World Bank annual meeting is shrouding our island, a popular tourist spot in Thailand, Hat Yai (just at the M'sia-Thai border) was hit by terrorist attacks on Saturday night which brought alarms ringing that the predominantly Southern Muslim seperatists are beginning to target vibrant tourist areas to get their menacing notions through...
It sure makes me wonder if our trip to Ko Samui sure be put on a standstill, now after I had booked the air tickets for it...
My missus seems relentless for her beach get-away and now we hope for some spiritual assurance given by the prayers Mom would normally does when we go on overseas trips...

We headed to my buddy's TW's place to present the wedding invitation to his parents as I wishfuly hope that his entire family whom had seen me grown up from a chubby mommy's boy to a loser mommy's man who is on the verge of getting hitched...
CS was supposed to meet us for that visit and we haven't seen each other since 1989 when his life became topsy-turvy with his love life; but he played us out at the eleventh hour...

He had been really paranoid about his girlfriend been really affected by my wedding (FOR WHAT?!) especially the fact that she might had realized their relationship is heading for doomship as CS had emphasized to us since the last time we met...
I believe they are perhaps at the road of patching back, or my wretched buddy simply just couldn't make a clean break, and dragged on due to responsibilities or obligations or any other shit he felt...

It really makes him looks like a "gu-niang" who couldn't decide what is good and bad for his own happiness..or perhaps waiting that things would work out for the better on itself...

Apparently his lass still restricting his life stringently that even meeting his pals for years now become an activity that would raise her eyebrows with suspicion...

I actually would like them to stay at a couple if he is fine with it and embrace his other half into our tiny circle of friends (despite persistent rejections from TW)...I really hate been a shady acquintance of his that meeting up is always been strained under a microscope...

Well eventually as TW said, he brought it to himself and I do feel he loves to feel self-wretchedness... and as long as he couldn't make a clean break, I really wonder if we could stay as close friends for long...

A long night spent chatting with my buddy for 20 years or so now which is really due to the fact that my wife had been well intoxicated with the tasty wines his old man had offered to her delight and she just "concussed" at one corner... her tipsy state and the late hours meant a costly cab ride back but it cost more than that $19 midnight charge but her precious tablet container which she used to house her millions of tablet supplements which I presumed had dropped in the cab...

This week will be filled with more nuptial preparations with us checking out the finished photographs we had been coaxed to part with an obscene amount of money for...
My lass penned a gathering for her "sisters" on Saturday and would hope that my "band of brothers" could appear...which is highly unlikely...
TW who is giving part-time digital painting classes at 3DSense will surely not be able to make it, Foo who could be in Tokyo now has been reluctantly to let me know when he actually will be back in Singapore..
And of course CS who I am beginning to lose faith in whether he could actually help out for the wedding at all..
Which left with Jerry (who could be sailing) and Edmund (who could be on reservist)...
I am pondering if I should enlist the help my old Sec. school mates, HC and Huat whom I am meeting to pass the invitation cards to this Friday...the most important factor, they both have own transportation
Japanese word of the day:から約束~ka-ra-ya-ku-so-ku~ (Empty Promise) CS could be giving alot these days
