Don't you so like the nice nice new header?

Smashp0p made it for me!

Whee!!

It's a big week of marriages. If you read the lighter part of the papers, you've seen the mass marriages that were going on on the first day of 2006. I skipped a reception on Monday to nurse my runny nose, but that doesn't exempt me from attending Friday's dinner in Ampang, and the Johor Bahru one on Friday night.

On Tuesday, Eric confirmed with another friend that we'll be attending her wedding somewhere around February.

And then I've got a close friend getting hitched in April, plus the one in California that I won't be able to attend sometime in June/July (no money to fly overseas lah, go figure). After that there's a sure-have-to-go dinner in November, and I expect a few more cards in the letterbox waiting to squeeze me dry (oh yes, one wedding a year is fine, but several times in a single year does not do justice to my pockets).

But never mind that. Elsewhere, love is blooming. A woman marries a dolphin.

Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.

In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.

Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.

Bizarre or not?

The way the world is turning out now. WEIRD.
