Work day ended quite dramatically during a meeting with a parent, thankfully everything was resolved somewhat before i left for the weekend. Parents are back from china and dad has been my steadfast chauffeur for the last two days.

Had to rush for his cousin's wedding at grand copthorn hotel. I must say i have never been to a wedding with nicer atmosphere. While the food was not bad, what really stood out was the elegant decorations. There were flower arrangments everywhere, candles and ice pillars, as well as a live jazz band/singer. I guess the staff went all out since the groom is one of the managers there. The happy couple has 4 wedding albums at least and this was the first time i saw a wedding album where the bride wore a bikini (some shots were taken in a bintan resort). Quite a funky couple. I have attended their ROM at sentosa beach last year as well, and she was wearing a sundress while he was in berms and hawaiian shirt. The hotel also have a nice ballroom where there was a big glass wall overlooking a small garden and pavilion behind the stage. It has a very coordinated theme on the whole and i think everyone enjoyed the wedding tremendously.

After the wedding, decided to meet up with the girls at sound bar for a drink and chat session. As i was quite early, i took a walk around the place because i seldom had the chance to go to that part of muhd sultan. While walking pass the glass panels at simplybread, i was invited by the bakers for a short tour inside. Anyway since i needed to pass the time and the bakery looks interesting, i didn't really mind. Pretty nice people in general and they were telling me about the various bread around (even offered some but too full from wedding dinner *heh heh*). Well, at least i had something to do while waiting for the girls and it is interesting meeting people you don't usually have a chance to talk to. Maybe next time i go buy bread i will get a discount. *chuckles*

After a really nice chat with the girls, we shared a taxi home together. When finally, i was the only one left in the cab, the driver remarked that we must all be still in school. I asked why and he said it was because we talked like giggly little girls (which was true) so he was alittle surprise when i told him we have passed the mid20s (ouch ouch). Then he half-scoldingly told me, that i should be more mature and careful, and how could i have forgotten to bring my house keys (he overheard me telling the girls). While i was trying to explain that it was because i usually have the car keys and house keys are attached to car keys and i seldom not have the car etc etc, he told me that i should have the keys separated in the first place and gave me rather good advice on that too. Guess he thought i ought to be more "mature" because of my age. *laughs* Anyway, he meant well and was really nice because he waited for someone to open the gate for me (waited for about 5minutes before anyone woke up at home) before driving off.

Well, certainly an evening of interesting chance encounters and it was quite memorable in its own way. Guess it was a really nice evening on the whole.
