Kissing a life-sized image of our friend = slideshow material, for sure!

Sister and I picked up brother from Tom Lee Music, and got annoyed because he wasn't outside waiting for us, especially when he called to ask where we were. Then we introduced Harmony to more weird humor - hey, it's our family! Let's just say she doesn't want to know about a certain logo just yet... we might spare her the actual reality till she comes here in person, haha. Speaking of their relationship, a few people asked both me and Steph when they were getting married... that's pushing things a bit too far ahead since they only started dating in October. o_O

I was at my sister's table, and we had to make our own little party since we couldn't really hear or see anything that was going on - Daniel and Teresa had great chemistry as Masters of Ceremonies, though! Citrus, David, Rosenda, Ian, Danielle, Steph, Connie, Andrea, Vania, Melia, and I all talked about a variety of different subjects. Some of our time was spent entertaining baby Ian, who's going to have a new brother very soon - Rosenda can't wait to have this baby since she's pretty huge! Thank goodness they scheduled this C-section for the early morning of the 28th! David had a Nintendo DS which Ian seemed most interested in, but ice was definitely more economical, heh. Melia says that she hasn't set a date yet, though her brother Phil and Grace are getting married on June 30 this year. Maybe next year for her and Angus, heh. We talked about kissing, Jewish weddings (best men are so nasty!), turning red, money, aging, parenthood, metabolism and being active, all the food available, various ways to get Ian's attention for photos, skinny people / people we thought would never be fat (Chung / Vernon / Ivan / Uncle Richard - who wouldn't come to the banquet unless certain people weren't going to be there... just TURN AROUND AND TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE if you see them!), wedding plans, how Auntie May was a fashionable grandma, Vivian's detailed text message updates of the hockey score (we won 4-1 against the Wings on goals from Smolinski / Krajicek / Morrison / Linden into an empty net!), etc.

Phil talked to me and Lee about his plans later on - they're renting in Langley and then seeing where life takes them / what they want to do in ministry. He's not moving to Texas since they both like it here - they were going to get engaged earlier, but had issues to work out... good for them for focusing on the important stuff. Grace loves babysitting, which is what she's doing right now: Maxine said that the nursery could always use more help in that regard! Saw a bunch of other people I hadn't seen in a long time - Auntie Gloria (Eunice's mom), Lucas and Hannah's parents, Vernon (computer stuff!), Hannah and her boyfriend Phil, Sarah and Vernon, and others. It was good to see them, for sure! Talked to Kelvin and Evelyn briefly about their whiny kid (joking!) - I haven't met Taylor, but I did see him! I also hear that Kelvin's younger brother Kenneth is going to be a father in June... Daisy is pregnant?! Oh man, he'll always be that slightly immature kid to me: going around telling Jenny he liked her, asking us in a baby voice whether we'd be his friend, carrying a teddy bear everywhere... times change!

Said hi to Tim, and asked how old his baby was: Keenan's three months old, and already he has like a full head of hair?! Dude! Gave Sophia her birthday card, and tried saying hi to baby Olivia - she either wanted to play with her cousin Ian, or watch herself on someone else's tiny portable system.. the high point of a 1.5-year old's life is the narcissism, haha. Karen Choo sat at our table for a bit, so I gave her Ivan's card - the banquet IS a good time to give things to people that you may not see too often, since they're right there and not leaving anytime soon! (Same goes for talking to them - Vernon told me about what they did with Sarah's brother Lucas' computer... sewing machine oil?! Well, I'll talk to him on MSN maybe and see what happens... he's changed email addresses because of SPAM at Shaw!) Speaking of email addresses, David refused to give us his when he said he'd send us a bunch of table photos... "you can text me at this number, and I'll get your email addresses somehow - like from Rich!" isn't going to fly with us!

I took a bunch of photos with my table, with Daniel, with Chung / Karen / Chung's parents... and definitely had to dodge quite a few other people's attempted photos! Later, I happened to be looking toward the washroom, and saw little Sean's dad come out - he waved to me, and I could see Ian (NOT baby Ian) walk around too! That was nice - Sean would have just run around and created havoc! Spoke to Teresa for a while afterwards - definitely a long day, but she did eat something too. The wedding party didn't get to eat much, which is probably usually the case - but it IS only one day! Karen was wearing her mom's wedding dress - how cool is that? Later, our table went out to take silly photos - the one with Phil pretending to kiss the life-sized version of Chung will definitely make it into HIS wedding slideshow in June, haha! Way too funny - Winnie inspired them, too.

Nathan was very tired after driving around all day, so figured he'd go to a later service at another church depending on what time he woke up tomorrow. He has video documentary of these plastic bags on the wedding car - they tried to protect the decorations on it with Isabel's help, but they all flew off on the highway, which Jon found hilarious. Said hi to Jeff and a few others, too. Melia says she's not going to give lucky money once she's married unless she sees people like Anita and Michelle doing it - good call, heh. Definitely good times, and something to tell two of my favorite people about tomorrow! After a brief stop at my place so I could get certain essentials like a change of clothes and my Sunday stuff, I was good to go to the townhouse and overnight. See, it's MUCH better when I'm prepared! ;)

P.S. I'm spoiled with Firefox having a built-in spellchecker now. Whenever I'm using IE at the townhouse or other places, I have to pause and wonder where the red underlines are... =/
