~*the month after...

Whoa… time flies. Its been almost a month since I last updated, and was all bitchy and stuff. Well, I promise the bitchy level has drop to a significant low after the wedding (not mine, just in case…). Had quite a good time there. The chalets were grand. Me likey a lot. The wedding guests were made up of about 80% Irish, 1 Dutch, 1 American, a couple of Aussies who are not of Irish descend, and a handful of us Asian folks. We were the minority in our own country. At the end the 5 days, the sisters and I agreed that we’ve just had a dose of mat Salleh overload :p haha, and has definitely hit our "small talks with strangers" quota for the entire... year(???). We talked and we entertained, and pushed our normally “not so friendly with strangers” self and talked somemore. Man, were we exhausted by the end of it all. No, I am not racist. I would love to breed gorgeous little Eurasian kids, given a chance. So, yea...hehe...

From that trip, we’ve learnt that Irish are very nice people, that the mat sallehs loves talking, and they can talk the whole day and night, everyday. They can also drink the whole day and night, everyday. They also love showering those around them with multitude of praises, flattery,and more praises. You cannot pass by any of them without getting an *Oh, you look gorgeous/lovely…. etc. etc. * , which was REALLY nice of course (haha…) but after a while, being the cynical Asians that we are, the novelty of being told how “gorgeous/lovely” you look sure starts to wear off. It’s like Ok, I am gorgeous, I know, no need to keep saying it, enough already! (hahahahaha…. hahahaha….. hahahhahahha….) Actually, it was more like "Really? Me gorgeous? Really? Liars...." ... yea.

I wonder if that’s just what they say to people. It’s like, instead of a “How are you” following a “Hello”, maybe they've been programmed to say things like “Hello, you look gorgeous” instead? :p I said the bitchy level has drop to a significant low, I did not say it was gone. Hehe…

Seriously though, most of them are really nice. Parents of the groom are lovely (haha) people, so are a lot of his family members. We really felt accepted and embraced – quite literally as well, especially by the parents into that clan, even if it was only for a while. It was... lovely.

Ok, I will not be talking about the less pleasant (read: psychotic) stuff. The pre/during/post mortem sessions the sisters and I had during and after the trip has been sufficient. I don’t need to bitch about those anymore :) so yea… I kinda heart Langkawi now… congrats again to da happy couple that found true love in this time and age! Haha... madame cliche!
