All Good Things Come to An End
Breakup song of the week. Heard it in the car one evening.
I'm not putting Nelly's video cos we all know how who she is already. Instead, check out this talented lady (Marie Digby) of Irish and Japanese parentage who sings it very well acoustic!,
Click here for her video.
Honestly what will become of me
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming
[Chorus]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
Come to an end come to end
Why do all good things come to an end?
Break-up And I won't call you baby anymore Won't call you baby like i did before
I caught the show starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston for the second time one night when I was home.
Watching the show again gave me new perspective...about the things they argue about. Its scary and sobering how the issues they fight about is not uncommon in the real life.
The sadest scene in the movie (I feel) is when Gary (Vince)apologised and asked for a reconciliation but Brooke (Jennifer) told him that because she was always the one giving in the relationship, right then, she had nothing left in her to give anymore.
Then the strangest thing happened on my way to work on Sat. I was plugged in to my ipod which was on shuffle mode and it unbelievably shuffled a medley of breakup songs!
I wouldn't have realised it had I not been heightened to the whole break-up fever.
The medley is as such:
1. Eleanor - Low Millions
2. Nothing Lasts Forever – Maroon 5
3. Goodbye My Lover – James Blunt
4. With or without you – U2
5. Through with you – Maroon 5
Anyway, my favourite of the 5 was Eleanor. Its versatile and yet very personal. Just change the name from Eleanor to __________. Highly recommended!

It doesn't feel any different with a brother getting married. Maybe because he is still staying with us! Their pad (across the street) would only be ready in 2009, hence he and his wifey are staying with us for the moment.
Some photos from the wedding (taken by yours truely on Niko):
The customary kids jumping. I would never adhere to that custom. Seriously... letting brats trample on a spanking new orthopaedic Simmons?!? 
She is too cute to resist. Lorna is going to be my flower girl.
Wide open wonder:
The kids do not understand why are the adults giving a red packet just for a sip of tea.
It was a mad rush for me that day as the reception was a lunch thingy. So right after the tea ceremony, I had to rush to get my hair and make-up done. The script was only thought about the night before, with zilch rehearsal!
In the end, all I had time was for a wash and blow at the salon and DIY make-up, aided by Spunkice.
I slipped into the LBD, jumped into my black pumps and I was set for the show!
Me and my co-host:
The newly weds:
The proud Daddy and Mummy:
The babes who played with me since childhood and have also seen my brother grow up to the man he is today.
Lorna's brother, Lowell. He is a fire-cracker!
After our hosting duties came to an end, HamSam decided to pose as George Lam (sans the moustache and a Tiger in place of a stout):
And I'm shamelessly posing as Jessica Alba with a Tiger correctly this time (but sans the killer figure):
Warning: Photo Whoring coming up next!
In the helpers room (which my brother had lovingly offered it to me and my friends!):
The only two in black:
In the toilet of the Bridal Suite:
Cotton "Marshmellows"
He needs to seek help for his addiction! This is the first thing he does when he enters the hotel room. Not just this room, its ALL hotel rooms, around the world, including my bedroom.
I'm breaking it into two entries...simply because its video watching time!! Tonight, its Run Fat Boy Run.
Note to self: I need to run.
Wedding Fever
Not mine, but my brother's. It's this SAT. And my calendar is filled with activities leading up to the day!
Food tasting
My personal favourites.
But we all know that the food would not turn out as nice on the actual day when they mass-cook everything...
And I'm the MC for the day! I hope my parents save some food for me at every course.
D-Day (Dowry Day)
It was the first event that I brought Niko to. Due to a lack of willing models, all I had were pictures of kids. People close to me would know that I rarely bother to pay any attention to kids as they are more often than not, brats.
I'm slowly trying to be receptive to them, reminding myself that they are but kids.
Pictures of kids...
The best kiddy shot of the day:
Its really not all about me!
Him getting the jitters seeing all the planning that goes into a wedding:
Accidental studio shot (with the curtains as the backdrop):
Not quite accidental actually. I was trying on Gary's lenses and flash. The effect is really different with the upgrades! I'm tempted...
Going to get my hair done tmw, hit the gym the next day, get my nails done the day after next, collect the wine, rehearse for the day etc.
Counting down...
