Birthday and wedding~~~~

Harroezzz everyone!!!!Haha missed me or not???I din have much to write about..until now that is..and so here i am with a new posting :)

Last weekend was quite a busy one for me...as Saturday was my 'meimei's bday and Sunday was my cousin Daniel's wedding.

Firstly to start off with is Saturday...i woke up as usual to help my dad and haha after the working, i went over Tampines Mall to meet Ryan and Kris..they were eating Ponderosa first and so i decided to go and walk walk around the place.Talking about Ponderosa...it seems that they are gonna close down worr...cos the Tampines Mall outlet is gonna close on January 2nd...guess i shld be gonna go there and eat one of these days liaoooo.Okaiii and like i was saying,i decided to go and walk walk first so i went up and look look at the shops first,den went over the arcade to play games.Played NBA and haha the sunlight was glaring at me so i din manage to complete the games.After that still got some time i guess cos Ryan and Kris were eating the buffet and should take some time,i decided to just sit down on the bench outside of the cinema and snooze hahaha,such a peeg hor me???

Haha after the nice on and off snooze,i was told to go down to the taxi stand and all of us took a taxi to Meridien at Changi Village..haha go kai fang...farnieee right hahahaa.When we reached there,the book in took quite a long time because some things seemed to cock up..but luckily in the end it was settled and we went up to the room...was on the third storey one.too bad the view wasn't of the front and instead was facing the dark and eerie forest.Upon getting into the room...haha i decided to take a pic and boy the effect is shown below....



Haha does it look like a scene from Shutter????Ghostly picture with a head in the toilet hahahaa.Haha imagine leh the bathtub is there near the window,but i guess its also convenient so that the person who is bathing can also watch the tee vee.
After that Ryan and I went off to swim at the swimming pool...but imagine our dismay when loads and loads of people were at the swimming pool...i think should be some kind of church or company function.They were alll inside the swimming pool at once,the swimming pool being quite small already of cos naturally had no space for the 2 of us.We had to wait a while before going into the pool to dip dip.Below is one pic we took after we went in.



This is one of the more can see the sunlight pic of me liaoz..haha other pics which show my flabby tummy have been disintegrated wah ahahahahahahha.That's my friend Ryan at my side..haha he shuai right??

Well after a while,the wind suddenly came on very very strongly..whew because the swimming pool was on the highest storey,the wind was utterly cold...imagine Ryan and I were shivering like mad when we came out of the water...Brrrr the plants at the side were being blown like it was during a storm like that...luckily there were towels ready for us or else i dunno what will happen liaozz.

Whew after going back to the hotel room,i immediately went to have a shower in the nice nice bath tub...its been ages since i enjoyed myself with a dip in a bathtub liaoz..especially since it was warm warm water to contrast with the cold cold temperature a while ago.How i wish i had a bath tub at home lol...den i can dip in milk even lol.

Dinner afterwards was at Changi Village Hawker Centre...as usual there were loads of people sia...i ate Penang Char Kway Teow first while BBQ Stingray and Sambal Kangkong were ordered also...wow had to wait around 50 mins for the BBQ stuff but its understandable i guess cos there were lotsa people mah.Whew such a filling dinner that my tummy looked like quite a few months old preggy.

After the dinner,we went over to the hotel's lounge bar to relax...below's the pic Kris meimei took for me when i was sitting down...haha i look farnie hor??



I had a mocktail and it tasted quite nice cos it contained orange juice mah..so can't go too wrong..i dun like the alcohol one haha :) Haha well we just relaxed and talked while sitting down at the lounge lorr.Only bad thing was that due to the function still going on,there were loads of kids running around and shouting while playing catching i guess.

Ohh haha and below is my meimei Kris,who managed to have an enjoyable time swimming with Ryan on Sunday morning...look at the view at the back..quite nice hor??



That would conclude my day for birthday liaoz :) Happy Birthday to ya again Kris meimei!!!!

Haha following up next would be the wedding day...i woke up at 5+am to prepare...ohh and i told all of you people that i would be the xiao jiu zi hor???Yeapzz woke up and wore my clothes,including my suit..haha i look so farnie in it...too bad i dun have any pictures of myself at the moment..guess i would have to post any such pics in the future when they become available.My family and I went over to my cousin's home in Marine Terrace first...so juz wait and wait until 8+am when the groom was gonna come and i went down to open the car door...haha i had to carry two mandarin oranges on a platter..so traditional horrr???I waited at the wrong road haha just like me to do such a thing,luckily the car was just behind me and so i quickly rushed over and opened the door...the exchange of ang pao and mandarin oranges were complete :) Cuzzie Daniel and Cuzzie in law Hsueh Lian looked magnificent :) hehe Hsueh Lian jie even wore a tiara worrr so nice right??

Ohh haha and all this while my cousin Noah(who is Daniel's elder brother) had to wait at a few storeys higher than their home because if a younger person was to get married it would be bad luck for the elder brother to be in the same rooom.When i got up first...all the relatives who were at the home had to hide inside one room,then only when Daniel kor came up then can come out.Thus began the tea ceremony,quite a lot of pple to be offered tea to,my dad had his first ever tea being offered to him :) After all the ceremony and photo taking,we all rushed off to the Fullerton Hotel.
Whew i have never stepped into the Fullerton hotel before and so it was looking so majestic to me.The ballroom where the wedding was to be held was very big also lorrrrr.Imagine leh that day got 4 weddings to be held...2 in the ballroom and 2 at the Straits Room at 4th floor.There was some photo taking among the cuzzies and aunts because the actual thingy haven't start yet mah...whew my cuzzies started to play pieces on the piano that was at the reception area of the ballroom.How i admire their ability to play the piano so well :) haha i even asked my cuzzie Sharon to play An Jing for me to sing along to lol...oh and Sharon commented that i looked like the godfather in my blazer..man haha i am a ming xing lian.

At 10+am the wedding promptly started and the people started to trickle in...i was seated with Sharon,her brother Matthew and his fiancee,with 6 empty seats gonna be given to my cuzzie Priscilla and her 5 schoolmates.

The wedding started with church vows being exchanged and the pastor giving a speech..whew all of us had to stand up for quite a while..but i guess its worth it since we were respecting Daniel kor :) after the wedding vows,my cuzzie Priscilla came out with her schoolmates to perform!!!Haha it was a nicely put together dance medley which kinda choreographed how Daniel kor and Hsueh Lian jie met and how their proposal was like.After that then the lunch started...boy we were all starving by now...the atmosphere was good because Daniel kor is a musician and imagine leh,his friends were performing as a jazz band while we were all eating :) Good music to listen to while eating good food..how good can that get?:)Of cos it did because Daniel kor sang a song which he composed and it was a tribute to Hsueh Lian jie :) During the bouqet tossing...alll the single gals..well almost all the single gals came out and haha guess what...my cuzzie Maria was the one to receive it...whew meaning they all gonna marry in a row,with daniel kor married..noah kor going to be and her supposedly next ;)

The wedding ended at around 3+pm but we all still didn't go back home yet..instead most of us stayed around and took pics...we all even went up to Daniel kor's hotel room.Whew it was a sight for sore eyes because the suite was double storeyed!!!!Hahaha such comfortable surroundings and it faced the Esplanade,even was able to go out where there was a balcony.There was a cute baby boi boi bouncing on Daniel kor's bed as supposedly traditionally it means that Daniel kor might have kids soon...haha i sure hope that is soon cos i look fwd to having a niece or nephew.After the tiring afternoon,one would expect us to back home right???Noooooo ahhahaha in the end some of us shifted to Kbox Marine Parade...imagine leh..even included my grandma haha.We sang there till sometime abt 9.30pm...den went to a zhi char stall that my dad's friend owned.that was the final event of the day haha and i had to drive my family home cos my dad had too much alcohol content in him liaozz lohh.

It all ended quite well :) and even better cos the next time din have to open stall haha.Whew such a long post liaoz..guess i shld stop here first....seeyaz all...will write again soon :)
