Wedding Planning Retreat

So the cf committee and I headed down to Melacca from our respective homes last Thursday for our dear Cf advisor's wedding and then after to a 3 day planning retreat.

After all the hooha i ended up sick. So much for a getaway. Much to my annoyance we were tired the whole time due to lack of sleep and rest, even lack of bathing water sometimes and an overdose of planning. But we did have fun in our own busy way and stuff la, so it was still cool.

The guys being guys, made a lot of dumb jokes and there was even the one about Jensen's stomach. Hah. Our FES advisor Lian Chui was complaining about our lack of manners and civilized-ed-ness. I think they all had fun burping at Shirley and irritating her with their tricks. That one was seriously amusing.

Ahh well i did have fun driving shu's car around. And dressing up and stuff, and then eating..^^ One does not come and go from Melacca without eating. We really gorged ourselves silly. Oh and I bought a bag! We were at Jonker's street and I saw this ratan bag that cost only RM15, and something like this would cost more than RM50 back in KL.

And I bought rings for my bitches. I know how much Beverly likes those stuff. They better love it. Oh and that reminds me my results are due to come out anytime now. Aih. Damn and double damn. Anyway, here are some pictures.











































































































































































































































Yeah thats about it.
