On Thursday, after training, I went to my BIL’s house and picked up sister and BIL. We had a dilemma about the gift for the bride and groom. Our choices came down to either a gold coin from Khazana or a lady & a gentleman watch. Eventually, my fondness with watches prevailed. We dropped by a near-by Titan showroom and bought the same. In addition, we got two more watches – my gift to sister for her upcoming birthday and another gift for neighbor’s daughter whose birthday is on Friday.

After shopping, we left to ‘Hotel Park View’, where groom’s family was staying. After the usual ‘making fun of groom’ (it is a love marriage), we left for engagement. It was a simple function. Then I left to office and quickly finished up whatever needed to be finished. I came back to the hotel and picked the gang and came back home.

Friday was the big day. The wedding was at the Church of Christ the king, Loyola College. It is a pretty old church, built on 1930. For the riches bestowed on the groom (his dad is a retired captain and he is a first officer in a Hong Kong based shipping agency), the wedding & reception was a simple one.

Only when there are loved ones at home, there is life there. It is always a fun to have my sister around (with BIL, it only doubles). One greatest advantage for me is that she cleans the whole house. They all left on Saturday.

Even today, I’ve been busy until noon. I’ve been helping a friend of my sister with house searching and so on. Hope in the evening, I get some rest and ready for the week ahead.
