OUCH!
just thought i’ll post this for remembrance…
a really painful moment if you asked me.. not to mention hearing my heart shatter into a million pieces when my one week old ring slammed against the metal grilles a dozen times. =(
and here’s my swollen hand..
bruised by the night…
and you want to know what happened?
as the chief-brother-cum-emcee for my bestie’s wedding so gamely puts it…wah, you are like anaconda like that. damn fast. stretch your hand out and snatch the angpow!!
ok. to be fair.. they were supposed to surrender the angpow before we could open the door but they just refused to!
and the snatch got the brothers and sisters trying to attack each’s other hands, peeling the fingers off the angpow, my arm being thrashed between 2 vertical grilles, people wildly slapping and hitting my hand, me screaming in response to my precious stone..
and the angpow tore into half.
omfg. a moment of silence from everyone while in lightning speed i withdrew my hand into the house and inspected the angpow. and as i slowly peeked into the 2 broken ends…
HENG AH!! the $50 still intact!!
and that’s how the bruise came along.. and you won’t believe in just 2 hours after the ‘fight’..a bump developed on my hand, and it was well swollen into the night. my fingers and thumb are bruised from the fight as well.
next time, brothers-to-be.. be gentle eh! it’s only a small angpow and its meant for the girls anyway!!!
besides, the groom really had it easy because due to the auspicious timings and the distance between the 2 houses, we only had like 20mins to clear everything and all they ever did was do the usual 酸甜苦辣..
Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
