The ceremony takes place in Ebisu Garden Square, at the clock tower, where Makino and Domyouji met for their first date.
Tsukasa takes Tsukushi's arm and they walk the last few steps down the aisle. Then, the lights short out all around.
"Congratulations." Rui says. They turn around in shock. The priest at the end of the aisle is Rui!
"For your vows, I thought I should preside over them," he says, smiling.
"This isn't like you to do such a thing," Tsukasa says.
"When you said you'd leave everything to me, I said I was thinking about it, right?" Rui reminds Tsukasa.
"EH?!" from Tsukushi.
"Nande, Rui," ("What, Rui" said by Tsukasa) "So when you said you were thinking about it, this was what you meant,"
"Ne, ne, what was this talk about?" Tsukushi asked.
"Don't worry about it," Rui says.
Hahah, everyone played a part! People from Eitoku were there lining the aisles, Okami-san and Yuki from the dango shop were doing the confetti, Sakurako was helming the spotlight, Shigeru was playing the organ...
Nishida and Kaede (Domyouji's mother) and Susumu (Makino's brother) and Makino's parents were all dressed up at the sides at the end of the red carpet all cheering them on!
F4 was right at the front too~
"You know, I wanted to say my congratulations in private," Rui said.
"Thank you, Hanazawa Rui," (Tsukushi)
"I can't believe everyone of you," (Tsukasa)
"Now for the ring exchange,"
"Groom, Domyouji Tsukasa, do you vow to make Makino Tsukushi happy for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, I do."
"Bride, Makino Tsukushi, do you vow to love Domyouji Tsukasa for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, I do."
"And now...seal it with a kiss."
Perfect.

"Wake up, Makino. Makino."
"Look outside."
"EH?!"
"What is this?!"
"Huh?!"
"Starting now is an F4 produced marriage ceremony. For the greatest couple in the world, there must be the greatest marriage ceremony in the world!"
I really think the F4 are cool, whether they can actually exist outside Hana Yori Dango! I think it just may be possible, but it's wonderful to watch them in action and actively planning for stuff! Not to mention how their money works for them...
Hahahah I'm really really obsessed with HYD! Then I'm gonna move on to Meteor Garden then BOF! Hahah, I'm really looking forward to it!

An eleven year old on the trip with me to Malaysia just celebrated her birthday today. Her mother planned a short celebration, complete with cake. My mother and another mother collaborated to get her a 4GB thumbdrive.
She's slightly spoilt, since her only other sibling is a sister ten years older.
I suppose, (considering only items from the parents), an early dinner with alcoholic ice cream for dessert and a pair of court shoes are just as good.
Hmm...

Arrived, finally: at Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort!
Of course, that's in Ipoh, Malaysia. The news that the room had Internet was the a piece of really good news for me!

Finally! I have the use of my beloved Internet after a certain someone banned me from it!
Oh, Internet, I thought without you I would die~

Okay, so it's around 0030 in the morning now, and I'm wide awake with my parents in the living room. They're watching telly while I while away time on my mother's laptop (since I shut mine down already).
Anyway, lately, if you keep up with my fb status updates (the older ones of a few days, last week I think), you'll find out that I've been watching Hana Yori Dango. I'll refer to it as HYD here.
HYD really seems perfect. Sure, so the main couple (Domyouji Tsukasa and Makino Tsukushi) have their own problems, both in season one and two, but a friend who's finished the series informs me that they get together happily in the end.
Looking at the television screen, it's some drama called Story of Time. It's of village life roughly how many decades? Ago? I don't know.
But everything there seems perfect too. Like sure they have problems but they don't need to worry about what happens, it gets solved in the end.
Why do us people watch such stuff anyway? It's just an illusory utopia that's on the big screen, and it's not going to happen in real life.
Maybe we watch it because we think that it's a good way to escape.
You know, a good source for our imaginations. For mine and for every single fangirl out there, that is. Fanboys too. It just makes me think, maybe these dramas/idol dramas are actually good for us.
It gives us a break from our normal life, let's us believe that such a utopia actually exists, it allows us to dream, to daydream, of better futures. I bet that's where the phrase 'tomorrow will be better' comes from.
Anyway, to end off with some nice pictures:

Look at the front page of the Straits Times today. The entire stretch of Bukit Timah road was flooded!
And I was in it.
I was on 171 going to school for debate from calligraphy class, and as we neared Bukit Timah road, I was thinking that I was never going to get there on time. I mean, some bus stops were inaccessible, the bus couldn't turn in because the rain had already caused the water level to rise to where the bus stop seat was. The seats that I saw were those that were on 'stilts', as in they were risen up from the ground by some poles. And the water level was such that if you sat normally on it, everything that dangled off the seat would be soaked.
As we neared the MG bus stop, I was wondering whether I should get off, because every single bus stop was flooded. It was knee high at several parts, and ankle high at others. I saw the canal overflow onto the road, and I was stunned. In six years of schooling at RGPS (down the road, near the canal) and two at MG, I'd never seen the canal overflow.
There were HwaCh and NJ students on the buses and fortunately their stops were accessible, and it wasn't flooded. The bus driver managed to go right up to the stop so they didn't really get wet. But as for my stop? No way.
Then some guy walked past me on the way to the door on the bus, and I didn't think anything of it, until Amaris (my senior) walked past and said 'Hi Ka Onn'. So now I had two comrades to get to school with! Ah well, the more the merrier!
So now the bus driver decided that it was impossible to stay in the normal section of the road (the MG side) and turned out onto the road section on the right. It was just a slight turn, and the interesting thing was that we ended up right opposite the MG bus stop.
So we (our party of three) decided to get off the bus. So we took off our shoes (I had a plastic bag!) and waded out into the water. At first the water was ankle high when we got out of the bus. Then as we crossed the road to get to MG bus stop, it became shin high for me. At certain parts it became almost knee high.
And the odd thing was that since Amaris had longer legs and managed to walk faster (something about wading through water faster in longer steps), the guy (turned out to be Avery, an AC rep) was second, and then there you have me, safely and slowly plodding through the almost knee high water. And at points Avery looks back to ask if I'm alright since I'm not just behind him, I'm two metres away, and I was trying to convince him to look after Amaris instead.
Like, I'm fine... And I will be anyway...
(even if I fall into a pool of muddy water)
So we get to MG. Amaris is surprisingly dry. (She's wearing a dress.) Avery is half wet. His jeans are half wet, and his shirt is somewhat in the same state.
And as for me, I'm around half wet. My skirt is wet. Like, wet. Front and back. Then the shirt isn't really wet at all.
-_-"
Ah well. If I'm caught in that kind of situation again...I'M ALL FOR IT!
:DD
