the wedding bash
8th apr '07
went with mommy to orchard area early in the morn n got into a little trouble with the empress dowager due to my v fussy eating patterns. aft getting her all angry, we settled on pizza at DOME cafe at lido. there, i ordered a triple iced chocolate beverage with additional belgium choc gelato just to spite her tt i wasn't gonna make a concious effort to lose weight. lol.. tts me, forever childish.
but like all girls, a little pampering at the salon will lift all sorta moods. aft sitting on tt chair for 4 whole hrs, numbing my butt n getting my hair washed 5 times, i left tt far east plaza salon with softly rebonded tresses tt strongly reeked of chemical n a happy mother with her head full of curls.
since we spent longer than expected with sunny, the stylist, we needed to rush hm to get dressed for the wedding of some uncle of mine. anyway, tis wedding was a v elab affair as the couple booked 65 tables at shangrila hotel. mommy says each table average at abt $1k.. the young couple muz be soo loaded. anyway, both of them r frm the s'pore navy so they had the sword parade thingy preluding their entrance. plus, all the guests were dressed to the nines. the women wore sweeping gowns n the men wore tuxs. damn cool.. but they made my prom dress seem rather shabby. =(
me: arrgghh, i look fat in tis dress!!!!!!!
dar: no, u look shapely.
me: yeah, circle is a shape.
dar: o_0'''
whimsical us.. =D
pre-dinner reception outside the island ballroom.. otherwise known as cocktail party..
inside the ballroom where the waiter gave me red wine (just like a REAL adult! well, i'm legal afterall).. we were seated just nxt to the red carpet, at table no. 35. so we had a full view of all the proceedings n cld even clearly see the heart-shapped confetti scattered all over the floor aft the new couple walked down the aisle. =) there were also fab door gifts. some had a pair of forever friend wedding bears n others had a box of soap roses. sweeeet..
unlike when i wrked in banquet, normal tables in tis case hv their food portioned out for them too. the food is also nicely decorated before being presented. n i got ONE WHOLE ABALONE to myself!! n since 3yrs ago, i hv abstained frm sharksfin soup. likewise tis yr, i only included tt pic to show the poor murdered shark.
tis is the evil glare olivia gave to ppl who drank sharksfin soup. n she managed to get 4 ppl to stop drinking. tt is on top of me n angelica.. haha.. plus ppl who drank were dissuaded frm getting 2nd helpings.. so i tink our table sorta hv alot of leftovers. =P
banquet servers with their high-split skirts..
the soldiers in their white glory!! complete with pointy swords to form the bridge for the couple to walk underneath.
the couple getting stopped at one of the "routine checkpts" to get sabo-ed.. the tasks the groom had to endure throughout the day included re-enacting his wedding proposal, getting ppl to bite a cucumber held between his thighs, having to beg $99.99 frm the guests, eating a wasabi covered cracker n drinking tins of condensed milk..
they finally made it on stage.. pretty bride n dashing groom united in eternal happiness..
the yumseng session..
underaged bri only had his teacup.. haha..
but he was not alone.. a grown man was sooo proud of his teacup tt he raised it above his own head!
the popped champagne cock flew to our table.. is tt luck of wat?!
babies stole the night.. introducing, wai kit/wei jie aka baby mumble.. isn't he just the most adorable baby ever? unlike all the other screaming toddlers, he attracted loads of attn effortlessly. n his mother (the sis-in-law of the groom) is really young n pretty too.
anyway, the toddlers were really cute n the little girls behaved just like miniature cupids, running around picking up heart-shapped confetti n giving them to all the females present. spread the love hur? i tink the banquet staff felt 'loved' too.. as the little girls picked up the scattered hearts much more efficiently then any vacuum cleaner. ^^
n i tink there is a direct relation between little girls n pink, puffy dresses. hmm, tt was random. lol. =P
ok, nice wrds aside, someone severely spoiled my mood tis wonderful evening.

TO THE AUNTIE WHO CLAIMED I COULDN'T GET MY HANDS OF MY BOYFRIEND AT THE BUS STOP:
- WANNA COMPLAIN ABT ME TO MY MOM? HV THE GUTS TO DO SO IN FRONT OF ME N NOT WAIT TILL I GO TOILET N SCURRY AWAY WHEN I GET BACK. COWARD.
- EVER HEARD TT GOSSIPS CAN KILL? IF UR SENSELESS REMARKS MESS WITH MY FAMILY'S ROLE IN THE WAY I HANDLE MY RELATIONSHIPS, TRUST ME, I'LL HATE U FOR LIFE. N JOY IS NOT SOMEONE U CAN MESS WITH.
- FOR SOMEONE WHO MEETS ME ONCE A YR DURING CNY, I HIGHLY DOUBT U CAN RMBR HOW I LOOK LIKE. CONSIDERING UR AGE, I EVEN DOUBT IF U EVEN RMBR UR OWN GRAND-DAUGHTER, MUCH LESS ME.
- MAYB I SHLD BE HAPPY TT U BOTHER TO RMBR ME WHEN UR EXISTENCE BARELY MAKE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HONGBAO MONEY U GIVE ME EVERY YR.
- DID UR MOM TEACH U COURTESY? SEE SOMEONE U NOE, GO UP N SAY 'HI' AT LEAST IF THERE IS MISTAKEN IDENTITY, U'LL JUST EMBARASS URSELF N NOT LET UR VICIOUS TONGUE HURT SOMEONE ELSE.
- OK LETS SAY, I DID KISS HIM AT THE BUS STOP. U JEALOUS MY LIFE HV PASSION? ENVY TT AT LEAST SOMEONE DESIRES ME? OH PLEASE, IN UR GENERATION, THE POLICEMEN STILL WORE SHORTS SO QUIT BEING STUBBORNLY CONSERVATIVE.
- BUT IF U DO WANNA STAY CONSERVATIVE, HV SOME DECENCY TO KEEP IT WITHIN UR IMMEDIATE FAMILY. U DUN SEE ME COMPLAINING ABT MY CONSERVATIVE GRANDMOTHER DO U? COZ AT THE V LEAST SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO MEDDLE IN MY LIFE. A RIGHT UR SOLEY LACKING IN.
- KISSING SOMEONE IS A WAY OF SPREADING WARMTH N LOVE. BE THANKFUL I'M NOT COMMITTING ARSON OR ROBBING SOMEONE IN FRONT OF UR SAINTLY EYES!
- DON'T SAY I LACK RESPECT. COZ I ONLY BELIEVE IN GIVING RESPECT TO PPL WHO I LOVE N WHO DESERVE IT. 2 SIMPLE CRITERIAS TT U FAIL.
- LASTLY, MIND UR OWN BUSINESS N FUCK OFF!
ok, the nice joy is back. sorry if i scared anyone but some ppl just get on my nerves. esp blundering old aunties whose life circles around how other ppl's lifes r much more meaningful n eventful as compared to their own mundane ones.
