bailey - the princess

This is my sister's dog - Bailey. She can be so adorable. She posed on my sister's bed like a fluffy toy after my sister changed her sheets. How cute is that?



love is in the air

Yes. Love is indeed in the air. A friend of mine, Agatha tied the knots recently and her wedding has incidentally fell on Mid-Autumn Festival. That has made the wedding even more romantic.

I have known her since my days in Beijing. Being the very few single Malaysian girls working in Beijing then, there is a special bonding between us and we both treasure our friendship dearly. Not only did she ask me to emcee for her wedding dinner reception, she has even given me the honour by asking me to be her bridemaid.

Due to my hectic schedule at work, I had no choice but turn down her offer, promising her that I will still attend her wedding nonetheless. However, she has insisted that it will mean a lot for her to have me as the emcee for her wedding dinner reception. I could not make it to be her bridemaid though.

My oh my. The last time I emcee for an event was during school days and that was many many years ago. For the sake of friendship, it was hardly a choice for me. So, here comes another adventure for me.

It all started after I returned from my trip to Beijing, I had to rush to a mall to hunt for a dress (the wedding has a Oriental theme and there was a dress code for all guest). Found the dress. Next, research needed to be done online for the special guests at the wedding, namely a famous caligraphy master - Mr. Zhong Zhen Chuan and a well-known singer in Malaysia - Ms. Yudi. Done with research and drafting of my emcee script, I was all set for the big day (her big day I mean!) and all these were done within a day!

The next day, I drove all the way to KL for rehearsal (Yes! there was a rehearsal!). Close friends of mine would know that I dread driving to KL as I dread driving to unfamilair places. After a committee meeting, rehearsal, getting ourselves beautiful and before I know it, it was show time! I took a deep breath....

The entire wedding reception went on well. The bride and groom and their families are pleased. Everyone including the organizing committee had so much fun. All these have made it worthwhile.

Sometimes, all you need is to make a small effort and you could brighten someone's day or life. I think I have made the right choice in agreeing to help my friend. 'Cause I know this small little favour I have done meant a lot to her and will remain forever in her heart.

Congratulations, Agatha anc CK!
