Thankfulness

Received a surprise whatsapp covo from another friend whose wedding I've attended before the food-poisoning-incident on my way home..

She sounded eggcited and was full of thanks cuz she was touched by what i gave when she went thru the list (I think the list was the gifts that friends/ relatives gave for their wedding). Not that I gave a huge amount but it was certainly covered more than what my dinner cost. And i sowed back the the Ang pow $ the couple gave for helping them out in the lil deco that I've did for them - Foc cuz felt led to ;) well more blessed to give than receive right? Anyway I've fun doing the gift box n flower baskets ;) and a cheap thrill to see the flower girls to continue carrying my DIY Daiso creations ard the shoppe area after the matrimony ;)

Sad to hear that they were slightly short of breaking even for the wedding but at least it was not a huge figure.

Oh well, from the look of the invited guests, I would have presumed that it will at least breakeven, since I guess as friends, let alone relatives, you would want to bless the wedding couple right. So if u can't give extra, at least cover your share of dinner? Cuz I don't believe in free lunches (alright, unless you qualify to be considered needy)

Happy to be a blessing!

Hopefully no shortfall when it comes to my turn (if it comes) since the principle of sowing n reaping should apply!

Three days of 2013 have passed and I've probably slept more than 40% of it away, thanks to the last wedding of the year I'd attended on the eve of New Year's Eve..
Thought it was my bad habit of irregular meal that trigger my gastric pains on new year day (which paved another day of rest for me on 2nd Jan). Realized that 14 of my colleagues who attended the wedding luncheon, as my friend - the bride herself, suffered from symptoms of food poisoning (with varying severity)..

Nice wedding favor though .. No snapshots of the food.. No particular reason perhaps had an inkling that pictures will render some unpleasant memories? ;(
Oh well at least I got a day of beauty sleep of more than 12 hours on Wednesday! ;)
Hmmm the hotel actually reported to MOH voluntarily after my friend feedback to the hotel on the incident .. And now MOH is investigating the matter. I guess the proactive approach brings more pros than cons.. Imagine the negative press that may arise should they simply ignore the feedback..
Oh well.. I seriously don't mind the extra day of rest minus the nausea, bloated feeling, fever, body aches, headache, dizziness.. Which i had dismissed as pms - perhaps it was a mixture ..
Too bad, I won't be able to assist in the stool test cuz the sample will certainly be tainted as my personal diagnosis of one the probable cause of my symptoms is proven correct. Sigh.
