A lot seem to happen during the past week. We had our Interact Club’s AGM in which we’ve elected our new board of directors for next year. Our way of selecting the new BOD is different from other clubs where they practise democracy whereas we (the past BOD will select the new BOD ourselves with our teacher advisor’s consultation). We decided that for the top four positions (president, v.president, secretary and treasurer), the chosen ones would each get an "appointment letter" in which on the envelope is written the name of the person, inside will be a piece of paper with their new posts.
Kevin got President, Shee Yee got V.President, Sheena got Secretary and Eu Gene got treasurer. Kevin was pretty surprised that he got chosen as President. Haha. Oh well.

Then on Thursday (I think), I went out with my mom and bro for a little shopping. I saw this really gorgeous pair of heels. Really it is. I begged and begged my mom to get it for me. =D

Oh and yeah, last night I attended this wedding dinner. Mmm…I love those. I get to dress up and all. It was just the two us, dad and I. We were assigned to this table where there’s this other lady with her kids. She’s from the same hometown as my dad as well, so they got on pretty okay. Then, the bride’s mom came with her boyfriend (she’s divorced). At first he was like 3 seats away from me, then he moved next to me so he could talk better with my dad.
At first I didn’t really mind that all, he talked a lot of funny things and I just laughed along. Lol. The worst part came after he had a few rounds of beer and got a little tipsy. He started calling me "Miss Fok. " (sounds pretty good anyway)
Drunk Uncle, "Ehh Miss Fok , Miss Fok. Uncle tell you ah…handsome boys no use wan. Must be an honest person, if not honest, you can ask him to get lost."
He kept telling me that. And also:
"Excuse me Miss Fok, let me ask you, do you think lying is good? For me, I say no! Honesty is the best policy. You ask me to lie I will feel very hurt."
For like half an hour or so he kept telling me those few things. Everyone at the table was looking at me like "oh, that poor girl."
And the utmost WORST part is near the end during dessert. I took a piece of this "kuih" and after finishing it I put my chopsticks down. Then drunk uncle came:
"Miss Fok, take some more la. That one is good."
I said,
"No thank you Uncle. I am full already"
"You sure or not? Take lah"
"Yes, I’m sure Uncle."
"Sure ah?"
"Yes, Uncle"
"Okay, you say wan ah. Don’t say I didn’t ask you."
"Sure, Uncle."
Silence for a few minutes. Then, suddenly…
He grabbed my chopsticks from the table and took a piece for me. For a split second I thought he was gonna feed me. So I quickly removed my plate from under my bowl and gave it to him.
I was so stuffed then but to be polite I ate it anyway. Half way through, he said:
"Miss Fok, if you’re full don’t finish it."
I was like WTH…you asked me to eat now you say don’t eat.
"Miss Fok! Don’t eat la if you’re full."
I finished it.
Then, thank God my dad decided we should leave already. But before leaving the uncle put his hand around my head and said, "Miss Fok, listen to what Uncle said and take care of yourself okay."
I just smiled and quickly walked out.

Grrr… that was really scary. I was half afraid he was gonna throw himself all over me. He kept looking at me as I ate and I saw his eyes move lower to God knows where. Ugh. But he’s pretty funny…when he’s not so tipsy. Lol.
Oh well. The wedding was pretty decent with nice food and all…but the place was a little bit cramped. I was expecting it to be huge since it was Tai Thong Restaurant. But nevermind… The bride was really gorgeous though. In a sweet kinda way.
Sometimes I wonder that like in all these weddings I’ve been to, it is mostly held in Chinese. I wonder when my turn comes, how will it be? Since I’m not really that Chinese-sy. So I started thinking of other potential places for my future wedding.
Mmm…definitely Ritz-Carlton. =P
