Busy preparing for my brother's wedding on Sun

Spent yesterday and looks like today helping out in wedding preparations(#1). Doing this and that, but finding time to to do up the pictures for the gourami experience.

My flat has become a busy meeting place, with relatives poping over to send their congrats etc, and sharing of stories and catching up with one another. Definitely a joyous occasion and it seems that wedding preparations do take quite a bit of effort. But i guess it would be fond memories for all involved (#2), especially for my bro and sis-in-law, in later years.

Feel older now, more so after the Gourami experience, where it would be a good guess that i am the oldest of all participants(which accounts for the slight advantage i feel that i have over others...the 4-9 extra years of experience as the youngest is only 19 or 16? hmmm). Well, i felt young again then when i was mixing with everyone there, with their fully charged energy of youth and fun. Back to reality, did discover that other than being slightly older, i do have a more conservative or traditional character. Nonetheless, very glad that the gouramians had taken me in stride and walked side by side(#3).

Its a mixture of feelings for me, all in the mix includes: the excitement of my brother's wedding, the disappointment that we probably will not make it to WSC but we will still be completing the solar car as much as possible and finally and some what occupying my mind most of the time, the wait for an answer from Shell, of which i hope will be a positive one. =P
