Q-Joen visit
I was delighted to see Q-Joen (read: Key-Joon, real name: Indra) on Saturday. He spent the day in Cambridge with Cen (his girlfriend) and Marlina (his friend from San Diego). Actually she's a friend from common friend of ours, Mila, in San Diego, who just got married recently. This Marlina girl is also getting married in October. My best friend Eveline's wedding is on 10th July. My parents were invited but unfortunately they cannot come because it coincides with another wedding. Deasy, my cousin in Jakarta has decided to have her wedding on the same day.. *doh* But my mum is invited to a mass at Eveline's house on Thursday, so I guess that's okay. I wish I could come :(
Another friend of mine, Benny Ho is also going to get married in September. I begin to think this year is a marriage season for friends of Monica. *hint hint*
As usual, to accompany tourists in Cambridge, I had to go punting :D Well that's really the best way to have a look around Cambridge. Relaxing and thorough :D We were so lucky with the weather this time. It was raining a bit after lunch when we decided to punt, but the rain disappeared when we got to the river bank! This is the first time it had happened. I think the rain chose to go to Wimbledon instead :D
Not just that, the rest of the day was magnificent. Glorious sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. After punting we went to have tea & scones at the Little Tea Room. Very nice.
On Friday evening we saw Shrek 2 at the cinema. We arrived 45 mins before the film started, and there was a huge queue already in front of the door! Luckily we still got some good seats in the middle towards the back. Some people who arrived 15 mins before the film started found that the cinema was already full, and they had to sit separately. It was the premier day though, so that's probably why. Nevertheless it was worth the queue. Absolutely hillarious. I love it better than Shrek 1. I'd have to buy it in DVD when it comes out. I'm sure I must have missed some jokes here and there.
For people who haven't watched Shrek 2, sit down through the credits. Wait patiently. You'll regret it otherwise. I felt like yelling to those people who stood up soon after the movie finished. "Sit people, SIT DOWN!!! You fools!!!" But I didn't :D

Okay, the rain at Wimbledon was definitely a little bit of a pain. On the up side, it provided the opportunity for them to play old footage of John McEnroe from back in the day... or maybe that's the downside -- I must admit that his hairdo is rather frightening. I wonder how it would look on Nagi... WHOA! There's a horrible thought that I must now stifle and destroy with my flamethrower. *shudders involuntarily*
