let me see if i still remember what had happened in these 3 days. frankly speaking, i don't remember much. they were simply too fantasy, too excited, too happy and yet too fast... and i'm having problems capturing and remembering the moments.
pre - 7 november 2008
.
wake up quite early, preparing myself to drive mum to the market and to k avenue for my nail job. i thought of trying out the new OPI nail colour but ended up still in the colour that auntie sharon suggested - hawaiian. it is still the best colour - thanks, auntie sharon!!
.
today is another warm... NO!!! it's HOT. can't help with the sweat on my whole body. there i realise i haven't buy ice cubes. luckily hubby is here, helps me to bring over a big plastic container and packs of ice cube. yeah... we still meeting each other today. mum even asks him to stay back for the catering later. who say we are not suppose to meet each other today? even mum is not practising all this pantang-larang.
.
this is my first time seeing so many people gather in my house. i don't even know some, erm... most of them. i think mum invited 2 from each family but ended up the whole family comes. hahaha... i expected this actually. it's really hard to control the crowd.
.
congrats here and there, thank you here and there. wedding photos being passed here and there. guests busy picking photos. explain so many times on where i took my wedding photo, why i just wore a piece of gown for the shooting, why i chose that album skin... so many questions to answer. this isn't a quiz, i guess :pp
.
buddies come at around 8.00pm. all we do is eat eat eat, chat chat chat, laugh laugh laugh. especially when mok mok reaches, the more we chat and laugh. it really looks like a reunion. but kesian adam... he doesn't know what we are talking about, at all!! let keon translates them all to you but later-lah. don't kacau us chatting. hahaha...
.
tired tired tired... luckily i have cassey and look wee to help with the washing, wendy, jen and june to help with the cleaning and tidying up and mum to help with the tabao. biasalah... before makan-makan, we afraid food is not enough. after makan-makan, we need to force guests to tabao the leftover. hahaha...
.
dumplings time!! yum yum... i get to eat 2 times this year. the party ends at around 2.00am.
on - 8 november 2008

haiyo... need to wake up at 6.00am. 30 minutes more lah... after negotiating with mum, wake up at 6.30am. shower and omg... may is here. wait wait wait, i'm almost done!!
.
mum gets a bowl of noodle ready for me. rush the whole bowl in and immediately we start the makeup session. luckily may is so experienced... she is fast in whatever she does. hehehe...
paul is here as well... he starts off with his snapshots on my bridal gown and pumps. sorry-lah, paul... i talk to you later ya.

.
*123... cheese... snap snap* done!!
.
'nah... remember to treat your in-laws good, don't quarrel with them, need to be more tolerant and patient, no more like in mum's house - sit, sleep, lay down as you like, must greet them every morning, must always put a smile on your face... blah blah blah. may all of you be harmony'.
.
oh gosh... today is not a crying day. we are not suppose to cry today. don't make my mascara drops, mum. **deep breath... deep breath**
.
'yes, mum. i got it. don't cry... i'm not going anywhere and i'll be back home always. this is always my home sweet home. i love you'.
.
here they come... play games and i see my hubby~~!!
prayers prayers... tea ceremony...
ang pow ang pow... jewelry jewelry...
.
why so quiet geh? so much time in between... everyone is so tired, the weather is so hot... everyone is waiting for the time to leave.
.
clock strikes 12.00pm sharp... we leave the house and here we drive to the new home.
yoh... need to wait again... kik sei... why suddenly the time passes so slow? almost fall asleep in the car...
.
after stepping into the house... haiya... prayers and tea ceremony again. how long do i need to stand ar...? my feet are so painful, the shoes are so uncomfortable, i'm so headache. blame it on the weather.
.
the afternoon ends at 3.00pm. i'm damn f**king tired, man!! god, please help me... i can't even open my eyes.
.
haa... don't know why this round the time passes so fast. zoop... 7.00pm already. guests are entering the compound and catering starts soonafter.
.
the happiest moment is when telelinkers arrive. i haven't seen them for so long... as usual, all the fai chais with the fai chais' jokes. hahaha... so happy... they are always entertaining and blow away my blues. all my tiredness gone faraway once i see them. especially when i see kok loon, lionel and alex foo. they are really great jokers!!
.
don't eat much tonight. no appetite... treat the night as a slimming treatment-lah... kekeke... :p
post - 9 november 2008
.
another waking up early day. why so torturing leh... me cannot tahan liao. mau matilah... hari hari pukul 6.00am. wan ngo meh...? ding mm pou loh... :pp
.
hmm... i decided to wear the gold colour cheongsam that i bought from classic chinatown. i dare not to wear the evening gown by the bridal house. i look fat in that... moreover, it's in blue colour, not really into blue. i think m-i-l also not really into that gown. if not, she wouldn't have let me stick to my plan. you know her-lah har... :pp
.
waiting for may to come, luckily she gets the way to my new house. start work... today we pick an oriental makeover and i'm still looking good in this. hahaha... sendiri puji sendiri. kekeke...
but may is really good... my dearest ji muis - if anyone of you wanna look for a makeup artiste, can consider her oh... anyone interested may get her contact from me. wei wei wei... no advertising fee gah... i'm sincere to recommend her to all of you :pp
.
holys**t... now only i know that the table arrangement has changed and i need to amend my guest seating arrangement. buy guess what... we are already late to the restaurant, some of the guests are already there and yet my dearest hubby forgets to bring my guest list to the restaurant. i have no ideas where my friends and colleagues are going to sit.
.
'merng zherng sei ngo lah... cheah tai hoe... you gao dim this shit!!'
.
my feet are starting to aching again. damn it, zang!! paid so much yet still aching. my goodness...
cheng cheng cheng... marching in and food presentation... cake cutting, toasting... yam seng all the way. it is really a typical chinese wedding lunch.
.
can see that my f-i-l is very, extremely happy today. he smiles and drinks a lot : )
.
so sad that vee vee-wah wah have to leave early as they need to catch the bus back sg. bye bye-lah buddies... i see you when you back... don't know when... for sure, i'll miss you. love ya : )
.
need to apologize to all friends and colleagues - i'm sorry for not able to stop by for a chat and photos. i have not got the chance to say bye to some of you. next time bou faan sou ar... hehehe :pp
.
at last... everything ends today. yeah yeah yeah...
.
karaoke session!!! it's my turn to enjoy to the max!! so long i haven't been to karaoke with buddies. get to know a new friend today, also named ivan. but we force him to get a new name - eng. kakaka... tonight i really enjoy the karaoke - at least it helps release tonnes of stress and tiredness.
.
phew... glad that everything is over now.
.
oosh... a tough beginning is starting...
.
