Bro Got Married:
Hence however reluctant I was to go back, I had to. I asked to be excused after lunch, cos I dont have lessons then. But timetable was changed so I stayed until near 3pm. Didnt tell them that my private car would come in the evening. So reached home and cooked up the stuff in the fridge. Made 2 egg sandwiches n 2 peanut-butter jelly with bacon and maple syrup sandwiches. The 2 egg sandwiches became my lunch and dinner on top of the mee siam I bought.
The drive back on the private car is a big misadventure of its own. Plus the booking earlier two weeks ago. Despite the massive jam, made it home safely after 11.30pm. I was the first to board the car around 6.45pm. By the time, the last passenger was picked up, it was after 8pm. Got a side window seat but felt a bit squeezed cos the other two are quite plump, despite the larger seats from the old Mercedes car. It cost RM $70 per pax for a ride to my home town.
That night I slept on the shorter sofa and later ended on the floor cos it was straight n I needed a hard surface for my back. Around 4am, my m8m nudged me up to go sleep in the room. Around 6am, I was woken by mom, bro n dad arguing about something. Later dozed until 7.30am tgen resigned to wake n get ready though Bro wouldnt be back with his bride until 9.30am. Got up, changed to a work top n put on make-up but with glasses so no eye makeup. Before the bride came, after eating breakfast, had to reapply make-up where my inclination is to wipe it off. 为了哥哥 n just did it.
I literally kena some jie mei duties like wash tge cups inbetween the tea ceremony. Sisters also helped and I helped to hold the ang baos after all the 敬茶. Even orderedyby Dad to help take pics though there were already 2 photographers... After the refreshment buffet which I didnt eat but kept washing dishes etc. When everyone left and there was 2hours bresk, then I ate some. Bathed, make-up and changed. Only new item was my cheena scarf I bought as a shawl. Love the red checkered design.
Again tio jie mei duty literally. So have to help usher but dunno who's who based on tgat sketchy seating plan. How would I know who are the neighbors or good friends. So my uncle helprd to identify n we supposed to usher but ended up not being much help n I didnt appreciate being made to stand around feeling like an idiot. Then later when most are seated, and going to do the walk-in. The bride side prepared rose petals but nobody to do it, so each sister do one section. We spaced ourselves out and threw the flowers as the bride n groom passed. Then before can finally sit, realised nobody jagar the photo album. So I took it n brought it to my chair and leaned it against the back of my chair n sat more infront. I was thinking to myself, really... what ever happened to the jokers of the 兄第姐妹, so bo zuo gang one. Is really actual 表兄 n 姐妹 one lor...
The wedding lunch turned to a karoke session as guests could go up n sing. Quite a few went up again n again. Some out-of-tune lor. Was 苦中做乐 and laughing about certain cannot-make-it singing... Food wasnt bad. I enjoyed the food n drank red wine. Told my elder cousin, maybe if drink enough, wouldnt mind the poor singing after a while. After all isover, went back with hands full of dabaoed food from the groom's table cos hardly eaten n the photo album.
After bathing n removing the make-up, felt better. Later on when things were more settled, I fell asleep on the longer sofa couch. Dinner was leftovers n slept pretty late on the couch again. Past midnight and kept being woken. One time was dad, once was mom and another was sister... felt like a zombie.
The next day after a cup of coffee, psychoed Dad to drive me n Geoky to the supermarket n small mall nearby. Bought instant coffee n mee. I got honey n lemon for my aching throat. Ate Macs dabao n also leftovers for my lunch earlier cos the private car would come pick me up between 12-1pm. This time it was a diff guy. He drove smoothly n fast. Reached sg by 3pm plus. I had tine enough to literally do ALL of the household chores before my sister came back in the evening. By then I swept n mopped the floor, changed n boiled the water, watered the plants, did 2 loads of laundry n dried tgem with dryer. Even settle the altar table. No wonder by evening, I was feeling the fatique... Felt the fatiwue on the next work day n scrapped through. Glad for the Vesak day holiday.

All the eating our of boredom n overating meant I put back another 3kg, back to square one. Now I had 5.5kg to lose... hope shoulder would healed up n I could start some simple exercise to start rebuilding my fittness from nil n flabbinessn.

Doing 50% of my usual weight n at 2/3 number of sets. So far ok except some numbness n am really out of shape. Restarting. Giving myself 3 months to get bsck in shspe. Restarting KM in June For now is rebuilding some fittness.
______________
3 weeks ago, I lost my footing when coming down from a double-deckered bus, but managed to prevent a big tumble cos I gripped strongly with my right but landed on the back of my left foot. Didnt twist the ankle but the impact on the back of the heel felt as thiugh I had injured it. Sure enough it throbbed abit. Kenasai!!! Lidat then kena twist something... only discovered my right wrist seems slightly injured cos doing push up, could feel the aches... WTF... so now it acted up. So my next session dunno how many acupuncture I needed to do. Sian... now pasting medicated plasters n wrapping up.
