liverpool lost 1-0 to man u. BLEAH! torres & gerrard had quite a few chances, but they were so unlucky! anyway, arsenal beat chelsea 1-0, courtesy of gallas, yay! i wasn't quite expecting a win, cos of fabregas's absence, but they proved me wrong (:

so anyway, it was off to taiping on friday morning for part 2 of the sister's wedding, at unearthly hours. the drive sucked as usual, with gross toilets and all along the way. but we arrived at 5 plus, thank god! and then we checked out the house we rented, before going off for dinner at gula, where i saw the newest edition to the family -- the 1st in a new generation, my grandnephew. man, i feel so old! they brought us to some place around there after that, to look at fireflies. it was pretty cool, except that it was nighttime, and the place was like a track in some forested place, so it was dark, and there was loads of cow dung on the path. i think it was my 1st time stepping on cow dung, and there were lots of it too. it was quite pretty when there were lots of it on a tree, kind of like a lighted tree you see during christmas, hee!

it was rise and shine early the next morning, for char kway teow. then it was off to selinsing, to meet up with the rest of the family. then we went to see some indian temple. but it wasn't the one with the archaelogical site, which would've been so cool! apparently everyone who goes to that one dies after coming back cos the land is cursed, and the archaelogists hafta wear some red helmet thingos that protect them. SO COOL! then we went for lunch, and kinda drove through taiping, to show the brother-in-law.

it was time for the wedding dinner at night. we had 5 tables at some taiping restaurant, where 2 couples were also having their wedding dinners together. it was so irritating, cos their guests were going up to sing hokkien songs, with their terrible voices. it was damn funny when the worst singer's microphone got unplugged! the dinner ended quite early, and then everyone followed us back to the house we rented, which was quite funny.

we woke up quite early the next morning, all prepared to go to st louis for mass, and then when we went there we realised that there wasn't mass. but there was a really cute dog there that made up for the wasted trip :D so then we left for s'pore, and reached in a record time of just 8 hours. we ended up in st theresa's for mass eventually even though there was still time to go to st mary's -.-

the toilets are why i dread going to m'sia. and not just the ones along the highway, but in every single place. urgh, why can't home toilets have shower doors?! anyway, it's really scary just how huge the mum's side of the family is. not just the total no. of people, but also the no. of generations. 5 generations, and i'm already in the 3rd. that's just insane lah! plus everyone in the 4th generation is getting married, and both the 3rd & the 4th generations are having kids. sheesh!

lemar's version of "i believe in a thing called love" has been stuck in my head since the start of the m'sia trip, urgh!
