Bittersweet symphony…

25 06 2007

A very quick one on an extremely tiring Monday morning no thanks to an extremely tiring weekend.

I was back in KL and CS’ hometown for various reasons, namely first and foremost to attend his cousin’s wedding, and for us to return to our pad & clean it, continue our hunt for wedding bands and to watch a movie.

Friday nite followed CS’ bro-in-law & sis’ car back to his hometown. That was really tiring coz we left only close to midnite so we reached only at 4am. At 10am the next day we had to wake up and rush back to PJ to get our ROM form affirmed by a Commissioner for Oaths. Before the Sat half day work day closed. Then rushing to the DHL office to get it couriered back to my mum to submit on our behalves.

Once that was done, we went back home to clean our dearly missed home. A rather dusty one at that hehe. We only finished in the evening and then we went to Midvalley to do several things incld catch the movie and seek our rings. We were as usual, rushing from one jewellery store to another after dinner at OH Sushi coz we didnt have much time left before our 9.15pm movie. We went to Love Diamond, Diamond & Platinum and Selberan. However, we didnt really find any matching rings we liked. The nicest one we saw was this Love Diamond band that had LOVE LOVE LOVE engraved all around it but we thought the design wouldnt stand the test of time. So we decided ok fine, lets just buy the one in S’pore that we liked so much. With that settled, we rushed again to the movie.

On everyone’s recommendation, we watched Ocean’s 13. Yes i know we’re a little behind time but we’ve been too busy to even watch a movie (if thats possible, but im telling u it is) . It was really good, i lurved it as much as i lurved Ocean’s 12. Anyways. The movie ended near midnite and we were so bloody sleep deprived we just went straight home and zonked out.

Sunday i ensured we slept in a bit. After waking up at noon we packed and went to Sunway Pyramid first coz CS needed to get a new pair of pants and a shirt for the wedding/photoshoot. We were on our way back to his hometown for the wedding when we got news that his maternal granma had passed away. OH no…what timing. And this is the same granma of the cousin who was getting married. Like my granma, his granma was bedridden for a few yrs before she passed on. It was a very rushed thing, attending the dinner then the nite visit.

We left slightly after 9pm and only got back to Singapore at about 2am. Needless to say, i couldnt even drag myself out of bed this morning. CS will be going back home again tomorrow morning for the funeral on Wednesday, his sis stayed behind and didnt follow us back to Singapore. I feel so bad that i cant attend the funeral…but i have already applied for leave on Friday when we need to go back again…and i am kinda new here so i dont think its advisable to be over-applying for leaves.

Sigh…Life. You never know what it has in store for u.

    Glad you enjoyed the movie and very sorry to hear about CS’s grandma. Please offer my condolences to him. You’re right, you never know when life’s going to throw you a curveball.
