The face that greeted me first thing in the morning…
BOO!!
And I thought who had sent me an MMS….
What a tiring weekend it has been. Sounds like what I’ve been saying about every other weekend but this weekend really takes the cake.
Friday after work, tubs picked me up from work and we went Hanabi for dinner. It was fab cos
1. It’s been awhile since I last ate there
2. The food is just as good
3. IKL is not working there anymore
Hur hur. I know he’s just trying to be friendly but his enthusiasm is just a little OTT and it makes me uncomfortable and it’s hard to enjoy your meal without him constantly coming over to chit chat.
Met Dan at Punggol Park for drinks and the boys were downing beer so fast like it was an alcohol buffet. –Pengz- Chix and Jane came down to look for us and we continued drinking. Supper after that then it was home for some sleep.
Saturday, sent the Merc for servicing and it took so damn long so tubs test drove the C-Class. It feels like a mix between a Beemer and a Merc so I actually quite enjoyed the ride. After the car was done, we went to Parkway where tubs had a haircut and I tried curling my hair but it was so damn disappointing cos within the next few hours, I had lost my curls. Haha. Had Pasta Mania for dinner and once again, I couldn’t finish it. Went home to wash my hair (yeah I know. I paid $40 and sat forever at the salon only to go home and wash it off) and pack my bag for the next day and we went down to Gene’s house to meet Chix & Jane and we headed down to KBox. It was 1+am then and they close at 3am but they must be really gian cos we went ahead with our KTV session. Supper after that and by the time I got into bed, it was 4+am oready. –faints-
Woke up 2 hours later on Sunday morning and got prepared to go Rachel’s house. Dropped by the kopishop to grab some toasties for everyone then headed there. I think I can never get used to living in a HDB flat. Taking the lift really scares me. Anyway, once I reached her house, the madness started.
Prepared the food for the groom (酸 – a big plate of lemon and lime wedges, 甜 – a concoction of dissolved rock sugar, 苦 – a plate of bitter gourd, 辣 – a plate of whole chilli padi and wasabi), thought of other games and such and got the bride ready. A little after 8am, we heard 5 cars blasting their horns downstairs and it was time to lock the main door. Hur hur.
Started off by making the guys polish off the food, then it was followed by fun for the groom. He had to wear a bra and a nice red brief with the word 旺 on it and pole dance against a bamboo pole and sing a song. He oso had to write his 10 commitments towards Rachel, he had to shout some things we asked him to, followed by a couple more things which was hilarious to watch. the girls’ fave part was getting the red packets and the guys were so damn smart cos we had 3 to choose from and after our top class negotiating skills, we managed to get all 3 packets in the end BUT all the money came in $2 denominations so we weren’t too thrilled and still refused them entry. So they had to come up with more money in the end. I think our haggling skills are pretty good.
We decided to let them in after that and just when you thought that was over, there was still another barrier to pass before he was let into the room. There was a round of Q&A which really got him sweating and when all that was over, we proceeded off to Boon Keng for Ah Boy’s side. There was a catered buffet there but I didn’t eat. Fatigue was starting to set in oready. Went to Fullerton for photo-taking session and just when we were about done, it started raining. The way our clothes and our hair were flying all over the place was crazy. We were a spectacle in itself at Fullerton. Tourists all stopped to take pictures of us. Hahaha.
Went back to Boon Keng where Rachel changed into her traditional Chinese ‘kua’ and then finally it was back to her house where there was a buffet. The food was good I gotta say. Simple but very yummy. After lunch, Ian dropped me off at tub’s and my plans to catch 40 winks were folied cos it was oready pretty late by then. Went to Parkway where tubs bought a nice cuff link shirt and I went to do my hair again cos I was too lazy to wash my hair myself. It was just a simple was and blow but Aden really impresses me. The effort he puts into what he does is really commendable. And he’s consistently good and out to please time and again, no matter doing my hair or tub’s. By the time I was done there, we had to rush home and I did a quick wash up and change before heading down to Grand Copthorne. The bride and groom were still in their t shirt and shorts getting hair and make up down at 530pm and I nearly fell asleep in their suite. The sofa was so damn comfortable lah. I was so hungry that even their bread roll with butter tasted like heaven. Sorted out the guest list and a couple other stuff then we headed to the ballroom at 6+pm. The next hour or so was tending the reception, collecting ang pows and getting people to sign the guest book.
Tubs was busy preparing inside but I dunno for what oso cos our dear MC sounded so unprepared. Dinner wasn’t too bad and they showed pictures of Rachel & Ah Boy during these few years they were together, and a video of the morning’s events, and a cartoon clip of how they first met til now. Wedding favors was a very cute key ring, either a boy or a girl but tubs gave me his so I got both. Haha.
I liked the company at our table. There was supposed to be someone else joining us but we don’t fancy her much so we abused our authority as sisters and put her in another table. Hahaha. I don’t feel bad one bit cos everyone at our table was oready so familiar with each other. There was Eunice, Bessie, Jes & I, who are the sisters, then there’s tubs who is the MC, then there’s Eunice’s husband who was running around with us the entire morning and who got along famously with tubs cos they both have the same sick sense of humour and there’s Henry kor, who is Rachel’s god bro whom we all knew for years and whom stayed directly opposite my house when both of us hadn’t moved yet. We were also the same people in the same table during Rach’s solemnization the other time so it was great.
Went to the next table to talk to the ex and frens and he tried to past a comment which I shot down. It was all in good fun but I hope it wasn’t too low a blow. It’s good to see them all again. I guess I do meet them now and then individually or when we happen to bump into each other on the streets but to have a gathering is really nice. Its oso been a long long time since I last saw William. I guess bcos Ah Boy’s frens are those who know me and the ex as a couple so when they see us sitting apart, and the MC is sitting with me, I think there’s bound to be talk but I don’t care. Everyone is on good terms and I am very happy being with tubs and as much as Ah Boy and the ex are close like brothers, I am very happy Ah Boy has no prejudice which is why he got to know tubs with an open mind and decided he’s close enuff to be his wedding MC.
It was a pretty sweet wedding and the newly weds are going Europe for their honeymoon tomorrow. Shiok. Let’s hope they come back with good news cos I’m dying to have a baby (which is not mine) to spoil silly.
It was too busy to take any fotos so I guess I have to wait for Bessie/ Jes to send whatever little fotos we took to me and fotos from Rach’s side will take forever so I guess no fotos folks!
Once again, I wish the newly weds all the best and my responsibility as their match maker is a huge one. I do not consider my job done bcos they got married. I consider my job done only when they are able to have a very blissful marriage ahead of them.
Rachel and Ah Boy, I love both of you just as much and it’s impossible for me to take sides so make damn well sure both of you work out as a couple. Haha. Have fun in Europe and know that patience is a virtue and nothing can’t be worked out. I have faith in both of you and set a good example for everyone who has yet to get married yah. Haha.
XOXOXOXO
By the time I got home, it was past midnite and I concussed after washing my hair and when I woke in the middle of the nite, I went thru the motions of trying to dry my hair but before it could completely dry, I was just too tired so I just fell back into bed.
Mandy smsed me yesterday and she got be a soft toy even though I couldn’t go down to NATAS! *muacks* Oh, and babe, I gotta tell you something lah. Some people are damn 厚脸皮 but then again, I guess it’s something we knew all along. –rolls eyes-
Before I forget, today is Grandma’s birthday but she celebrated it yesterday but due to the wedding, I couldn’t go over. Wishing her best of health and happiness!
Here’s some food for thought..
A bus station is where a bus stops
A train station is where a train stops
On my desk, I have a work station….
What more can I say?
Try to have a good Monday, people *sigh*
