my sister's wedding
i actually wrote a rather long post about this, but to cut the long story short, i thought it was going to be another one of those family things, but i guess i was wrong.most of all, for the first time, i genuinely missed my (maternal) grandmother.
...
then came the shock of hearing someone call you "sister" (in teochew - don't know how to "spell" it,) for the first time, and then realising that, shit, he's really part of family now!
and when my sister gave her "thank you" speech, and talked about how our (paternal) grandmother "fussed over" her when she had chicken pox, and how she is the sort of grandmother anyone can ever hope for, i thought about how we would all say that about our grandmothers.
but i just want to say this again, cos i know that you've all probably heard this before - my (paternal) grandmother is damn garang (cigarette smoking and all). she is so fucking cool, and i hope i have inherited all her garang-ness.

you have!
every family seems to have one of these cigarette smoking garang old ladies. J's aunt is one of these too, smokes, drinks, curses and used to be a gang member. i remember a friend told me her grandma used to run an opium den in chinatown...decades ago, of course, in the wild days of chinatown.
hi! just chanced upon your blog! i use the nick monster ru too because of my name. just wondering what's your full name though..
thanks amp! that's nice to know.
hi monster ru - what a coincidence! this is a bit weird... my name's weiru. so i guess the next question would be: why "monster"? =)
my name's mengru. hehe.. :) was just playing around with my friend and behaving quite "monsterish" or you can say pms-ing when she started calling me monster ru... what about you?
monster ru too - hey, that's a pretty cool name! me because of REM's "Monster" album. and i guess also because i am guilty of "monsterish" behaviour as well! =)
i guess from today you've got 1 more person reading your blog! *grinzz*
=)
