18th July 2009

The day that we’ve been planning for the longest time has finally come and gone in a whirlwind.

In summary:



  • my preeeetty jie-meis and hamsom mafia brothers

  • a whole lot of bad dancing (told you guys to practice alr, tsk tsk)

  • the transporter who drives damn fast and loves to play with polaroids

  • a hiao and absolutely funny photographer who takes v nice shots, and a botak one with a shiny head

  • a reluctant virgin boy who got performance anxiety

  • frantic tea ceremonies (one which happened in an oven), but so glad that so many people came!

  • being chased out of the bridal suite

  • not being allowed into the pre-banquet checks black table linen, rose petals on the tables painstakingly placed by my friends, fuschia and pink roses

  • regrets as the bride didn’t manage to go down earlier to greet the guests

  • pre-first walk-in jitters, groom holding flowers instead of bride, and us walking in too fast

  • a fantastic montage from my group of absolutely lovely FAGs, which threatened to ruin my makeup. it got rave reviews for being unique, special and so cute!

  • i love my emcees! Professional yet friendly and not boring at all!

  • rushing out to change to my 2nd outfit, then realizing that our room key doesn’t work, which resulted in even more panic… and using half a box of Hollywood tape which totally saved my modesty

  • a great Actual Day montage from our photographer

  • movie star 2nd walk-in

  • a super loud and enthusiastic yum seng session

  • thank you speeches, mildly screwed up flower presentation to mothers, surprise short speech for the groom

  • I’m yours by a superstar groom. Abit out of tune but oh-so-sweet. And yes he can sing!

  • not crying at groom’s song, but apparently some people did!

  • mad rush to complete photo-taking at 45 tables, which wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the mafia who arranged everyone into position, and head mafia who averted a lot of drinks on behalf of the couple

  • lots of hand-shaking and numerous well wishes to 早生贵子

  • camwhoring sessions with my colleagues!

  • wedding debrief with the FAGs and my JC classmates. I love you guys!

Thank you everyone, for all your help and well wishes, this perfect wedding of ours wouldn’t have been possible without you. I feel very touched by all the love and blessings :)

I have great friends!

From those who readily replied that they will be attending my wedding, to numerous offers of help, to noob video-maker, noob emcee, noob secret (dunno wat the secret is, must ask Yun), to hot pink ang pow box complete with feathers and birdies…

Yesterday we met up with our emcees and video maker… and it was a super huge ball of laughs… Key words of the night:
- Impregnate
- Love toast (said together with the action of spreading kaya on toast)
- 披荆斩棘

I’ve never heard “impregnate” used that many times before!

Come Sunday, my new place is going to witness it’s biggest party ever with the XDJM gathering!

Thank you everyone for making a difference!


ps: I didn't mean to leave out your name! Pure accident!
