It's been quite a lovely weekend; one of the rare ones where I actually feel rested after. Friday was the engagement party that the guys threw for us. It was quite a whirlwind of stops actually - we settled dinner at Seafood Harvest at Bugis, then threw down a couple of drinks at Helipad before proceeding to Attica for the real fun. I have to apologise, however - I admit I didn't enjoy myself 100%. I was down with an extremely nasty .. something. Might have been the lactose intolerance acting up again (in which case this woud have been a mighty huge episode), or what I suspect is a gastric ulcer. It's a vague epigastric discomfort, pain score 8-9/10, relieved by domperidone. In fact I made it worse when it first started, by taking Buscopan - I initially thought it was tummy cramps, but I ended up with ileus for 1 whole day instead - I'm not kidding, there were NO bowel sounds at all. Thanks, everyone, for being such great sport!
Saturday was spent doing wedding stuff, we finally completed the crystals on the dress! Oooh, and I almost got struck by lightning later in the evening. We were at Sime Darby Centre for our usual dance class, and as it was pouring so heavily I dropped Yx off at the porch first. After parking, I hastily headed towards the porch with an umbrella. No sooner have I stepped into the porch when I was blinded by a white-and-red flash and simultaneous booming noise. I turned around and saw that this rain tree just 5 metres away had all its bark blown onto the floor, and a cleave on its side revealing some of the whitish inner layer. I think I must have gone into shock for a moment, cos I started running into the girls' toilet shouting for Yx to come out right away. Seriously, lightning at a low-lying area like Bt Timah? And I wonder why it hit the tree instead of the building just metres away from it. I brought back a piece of the fallen bark as a souvenir, ha. And subsequently learnt that one of the merlion's ears got hit too.
