Good Hosts We Are...
13th November 2006, Monday
Yes November still seems agonisngly long as last week had been loaded with work well fitted for 2 weeks and this week began with the same notion with visitors seeing me demonstrating my platform, a miscommunication with regards to courier service, our vendors and his Beautiness caused me some wasted minutes during lunchtime and of course more stock-taking in the afternoon...
However the strong displeasure of our soon-to-be Quality Assurance manager is spreading like bonfire among the department and I am contemplating a coup when he is off on leave the next 2 days...good riddance..he doesn't work anyway...
Yesterday was fabulous as I had envisioned it to be...
Our beckoning for our beloved brothers and sisters who contributed so much to the wedding a month ago answered their call for celebration as beside CS and Hoe Chun as well as Michelle, my lass' JC mate, the rest duly made the housecall...
There were food galore as my condescending mom pitted her culinary skills once more to the appreciation of everyone with her signature curry and some sweet dumplings with peanut or sesame...
The bearded Foo came with his other half who seems to enjoying the entire day over my place for the first time in a long while as I had bombarded her with all those wedding video montages which TW warned about though she felt it was a sweet production effort...Mich also brought along some "kimchi-flavored chocolate" from her recent Korean trip which taste like normal chocolate but spicy...
Fan Han was the first to arrive with TW when we fetched her from Khatib and stayed peripheral the entire time she was here..but seemingly had a nice time just hanging around...
The "3T Gang" came and Huizhen with her usual nature can be bane for her at times but can spice things up a little while Lingmin and Geneth kept her in check...
It's our Serangoon JC Chemistry teacher that really blossomed into an eye-catching modern lady (sounds like an old Glay number, "Kanojo na Modern")...but still my buddy had his eyes fixated elsewhere...
Geneth had to leave early to meet her beau and was a good choice as for the 2nd day in a row, heavy torrential rain enveloped the entire neighbourhood...
Jing and Ed came, reeling from the effect of their weekend sports as the latter had only a few mouthfuls of the delicacy my mom prepared specially for my friend who refrained from seafood and vegetables from his diet...
The wedding photographs were top on the agenda and those timely captured photographs brought back some reminiscence of what happened that faithful Sunday especially the part which me and my crew were terribly late to pick the bride...
However it was the video taken wonderfully by the likes of Jiajian and the avant garde Foo brought maximum entertainment to those stayed behind due to the storm brewing outside as they became critical of how I had "manhandled" my bride in her full gown as well as TW's longwinded speech....
Not to forget our favorite game, "what about that guy!!" for those unexpecting paserbys spotted in various scenes in the raw, unedited video...
Mom then started going around telling tales to the likes of TW and Huizhen about not important being gorgeous when you can't find eternal happiness...
My buddy was assuming his usual self once again, brought his usual antics despite in front of strangers he might have met for like the 2nd time which I hope might be attracting the attention of some single and eligible ladies in the attendance that afternoon...
The later half of the afternoon sees the crowd divided with Huizhen causing endless headaches to Ed on the mahjong table as they had a little lesson with the classic game but not laying a wager bet which can be a chore...especially playing with Huizhen once again...
The rest were glued in my room watching pilot episodes of new anime series like "Le Chavelier D'Eon" and then down that memory lane with the Music Station 20th Anniversary special which led to my buddy gushing with nostalgia with classic J-pop tunes...
It was close to 8pm when the crew started to depart as we had expected the likes of the 3T to leave mere hours since arriving but seems like we had been good hosts to make our guests feel at home and I wouldn't mind hosting these close friends in the future as well but we had better not letting my in-laws anticipate our arrivals like last evening when we eventually went late in the evening...

Japanese word of the day:よいホスト ~yo-i-ho-su-to~(Good Host) When Michelle started to laugh as much as yesterday, I believe everyone had a good time...
