All in a day...

2nd July-Sunday

Reached Fullerton hotel at around 10+am. I was there at the hotel to attend Henry & Shirley's wedding in the capacity of sista's partner. Hadn't really known the couple well, wouldn't have gotten a chance to go otherwise. Went up to the bridal suite...it was really fantastic. There were 2 levels in the suite; the lower level is the living room and work area, the upper level is the bedroom and bathroom level. Helped around best I could, at the ballroom cocktail area. Helped to put up tealight candles, and the picture albums and frames. And then ushered the guests in when lunch was almost commencing.

There's a floor area in front of the stage, where the couple danced a number after they walked-in. Buffet lunch was only so-so, variety was disappointingly few, and not really that exceptional for a 6-star hotel. Baby Jav was there!! Oh was he cute!! I think baby J is really really intelligent; he's only a year and half old, and couldn't articulate words yet, yet he understands what the adults say to him and he responded accordingly. Really intelligent and adorable boy...

After the lunch ended, we all headed up to the bridal suite. Changed into my togs and then it's off to EC!!

Reached EC at around 4+pm, waited for LGG to come back and hand my blades back to me. The bladers went urban skating to Changi beach and reached back to EC only near to 6pm. The other group of bladers (SKbladers) were there as well, in fact their group had quite a big turnout. Yesterday was really quite crowded. Really was quite happy to see so many familiar faces, even those who didn't go EC regularly also turned up. Had a surprise SMS from JY, who disappeared for so long, asking how I am, and asked when am I free to meet up. He headed down to EC after hearing that I'd be there.

When LGG came back, I went to his car to get my blades, and saw an ugly situation. When I reached the car park, I heard loud and insistent horning. Indeed, one of the driver was pressing on his horn relentlessly, without let-up. Saw a lorry in the opposite direction from other cars, trying to bully his way through. The car directly in front of him was reversing and yet, the lorry was keeping close to his bonnet, seemingly trying to push him into a corner. I turned away for a while and turned back a moment later, only to see the lorry's driver climbing back into this seat. Presumably he'd gotten out of his vehicle to threaten the other driver. He made a sharper turn then, and I reaslised he could've made that turn earlier, instead of keeping at the other reversing car's head. What a horrible person! The lorry driver then went on in a bad temper, only to threaten the other car in his way who'd blocked him, when he was the one in the wrong direction. Again the rude driver started horning insistently. Gawd...what a downright horrible person!! I felt angry seeing the driver behaving in such a tyrannical fashion and bullying the other drivers. Couldn't bear to see anymore, took my blades and headed back to the skate shop where others were gathered.

And then my colleagues: CK, WT, Pink and a few others. Felt so happy to have so many friends there! Sis and I started skating late, so by the time we reached back to Hvper the bladers have left already. Nick, Albert, sis and I were then debating where to have dinner and ended up at Kenny Rogers. Had a great meal and chit-chat session and then headed back to the skating ring. First time at the skating ring; practised my T-brakes. More proficient at it now. But then again, the floor's really smooth which made it easier to practise.

Realised only today that I left my Gucci shades at Hvper yesterday night, panicked when I couldn't find it in the box. Asked around and luckily, sunshine confirmed that my shades were being kept in safe-keeping in the shop. Sis went down EC today and viola!! Got my shades back for me. Thank heavens!! Else I'd have to spend another (not small) sum of money to get another one. All's well that ends well...
