Trip to China: my brother

Now, about my brother's wedding... Uh... man Chinese customs are tedious. I wasn't aware that there were so many little details which seemed so mundane and tedious to me, but were apparently culturally significant. Well, my brother hated it too, even though he was the main character at the centre of attention. Personally I don't think he enjoys being focused on like this, and I think the day of the ceremony must have been quite terrible for him. Not that he wasn't happy with getting married, but I think it was more the formal processions that he was fed up with.

Of course I saw his wife. She was beautiful, and she had the kind of charm that would make you want to give up on every other woman in the world and marry her. But I also noted that her skin was really really pale and she looked like she weighed less than 50kgs. Not that she was really tall but still she looked underweight. I guess it was like the epitome of Asian beauty (and she did have a nice face) but I wish she'd didn't look so bony. Except she ate more than me at meals so apart from jealousy I don't know what to feel.

Sometimes I really despise people who eat and eat but are still skinny as hell.

My brother and sister-in-law didn't have much time for me prior to the wedding, but afterwards we spent quite a bit of time together. Well more like my brother and I spent a lot of time with her, because we went to the mall and my sister-in-law wanted to try out everything that looked cute, except she never bought anything because my brother wasn't sincere enough in complimenting her. Naturally they wanted to buy me stuff, and I didn't refuse because eh it was my brother I'm not going to play the "pretend to be polite" game with him. So I got an iPad.

Yeah, the level of my hipster-ness just exponentially grew. My friend studying law commented that I was more of a law kid than he was because law is full of Apple fanboys. I still maintain that I will never buy a mac, but I suspect I will cave-in in the near future, because eh I already have an iPad.

In fact I'm blogging on my iPad now. I bought a keyboard case for it, and it feels like I have another laptop on me... except this one's lighter and seems to have infinite battery. I have games on here, and now all I'm missing is music and the pdf version of my textbooks. It pains me to think that I might have to use this iPad to do work, but at least it's less distracting than my laptop... to a certain degree. I can't play LoL on iPad, for one thing...

But nowadays I spend more time watching videos of professional LoL players than play LoL myself... So I guess it doesn't really matter...

Main point is, my brother is awesome, his wife is beautiful and they bought me an iPad. And I love my iPad.
