being the maid of honor

this is about me being maid of honor in june... which i must say, is a poor choice.

an asian's blog - day 1
It's occurred to me that it'll probably be somewhat entertaining to blog about my trip home. Blog being the current hip term as opposed to - keeping a diary/journal.
'Entertaining' from the perspective of the people that don't actually have to partake in what one can only imagine will be a series of tragically funny events for foo.
I sorta understand why people are absolutely fascinated by this thing (the blackberry). I'll try very hard to not be one of those assholes.
Day 1 - no drama yet. Next stop - london.

an asian's blog-um, day 1.5
It's not my intention to bore you with the minute details of this trip but...
Rarely, one can be quite wrong about certain things. Today happens to be one of those days for foo for she finds herself at heathrow waiting for the H6 hotel hoppa bus bound for the premier quality inn for the night. Yes, due to weather related issues, she will be partying up in london this fine saturday night. Fucking london weather and so much for 'no drama yet'.
I can feel in my bones that this is going to be a good trip. If nothing else, at least for the stories. I notice this as I'm trucking from terminals 4 to 1 and am secretly finding this all extremely amusing. The fact that I don't feel the strong urge to cry or bitch is a very good sign. I'm a hardy little sucker.
Next stop-singapore. Tomorrow morning supposedly.

an asian's blog - day 3
I'm finally home!!! Sans baggage (and therefore at least one dress down) but nevertheless, home. Optimistically (for at this point, it's just easier to be so), I'm up $100 - BA's attempt at compensating for my lack of hair product(s) and other bare necessities.
Hrs later...I'm at granddad's house - admist mass chaos of some sort only mom's family is capable of. Cause of chaos is unclear but all will be ok because I'm about to share granddad's version of a black & tan...mmmm....or two...he seems a tad pleased about gaining a drinking bud. Everything is pretty much as I left it...
dress shopping with ms han tomorrow. And I get to meet her kid, iman-psyched! Bridezilla attacks in 3 days...

an asian's blog - day 4
I'm absolutely pooped...my feet are swoll and my eye lids are getting heavier...
Updates will be less witty, with mere bullet points today...
-f00 got dress for ceremony and both pairs of shoes! missing: accessories.
-f00 met friend's kid. friend = supermom.
-status of baggage is still unknown. f00 is still without bare necessities (and 2nd dress for dinner).
-bridezilla attacks in 2 days.

an asian's blog - day 6
I'm quickly getting quite comfortable with being home. Almost like I never left really...except better 'cos I have no responsibilities (except for the wedding).
Nothing too outrageous has occured of late unless you count lost baggage as one. But I'm getting around my lack of things by shopping for things. This isn't a horrible alternative, really.
Also a first-i come home last night and find granddad sitting in the garden admiring the moon. With an iced drink in hand. Which he offers to me. It smells familiar but is a drink I can't distinguish. It turns out to be red wine. watered down with melting ice cubes. hmmm...interesting.
Bridezilla attacks this evening. I'm so freaking excited I'm twitching...

an asian's blog - day 7-11
funniest ad i've seen while home (thus far) is one about mosquitoes..."if they breed, you will bleed"...we're so fucking witty sometimes.
day 7 - i'm currently in the car on the way to kuala lumpur...tension has me craving a drink (g+t+extra lime) real bad...my 4th grader cousin (bless his young soul), offered me some of his bottled water.
days 8 - um...crazy family chaos all the time, all the time! commonly used command words: now! faster! hurry up! i'm quickly losing track of time in malaysia. but i know i'm ready for this wedding thing to be over!
day 9 - wedding day. i realize we're very asian (cheena!)...but all goes (relatively) well. one day down, one more dress to wear.
day 10 - dinner. i'm back from it and it was actually not as bad as i thought it'd be. man, i'm glad it's over. feet hurt from these fancy shoes i've been wearing.
day 11 - singapore bound!

an asian's blog - day 15
guess what ladies, f00 is currently on her way home - see y'all shortly!
