Earworm: Shalala Lala~~VengaboysFriday was like whole day travelling for me...
730am bus from novena. reached bangsar at 1245pm. brief respite of chicken rice at home. (and then a letter from an unfilial bastard-which i shall not elaborate more) started the journey proper at 3pm. coz my dad missed the turning after picking my sis from TCPJ at 220pm then blabla not very interesting..
kinda fun listening to mp3 with one ear with the other earplug in her ear. we were like saying how come i hear the flute more and she hear the violin more.. nvm
finally at 630pm, we passed the penang bridge.
dinner was at kebun nyor, the bride's house-- the house where my dad grew up in. and my cousin's hobby was an expensive nikon dSLR (i can't remember the model.. and his advice was the first thing you should know is your camera model =/) which cost a hefty rm7000++ he was like an enthusiastic paparrazi(o?) saw familiar faces of relatives but closer to my family so didnt really talk to them much. it's been ages since my singaporean cousins(more of my peers than other cousins) are together with us in the same family gathering.
saturdaytea ceremony in kebun nyor again. the groom SY was late, but his arrival was accompanied by manic sounds of the car horn. my cousin karen's girl friends were the ones who devised 'games' to make it harder for SY to get to see her. can't really understand their rapid hokkien but i thought i caught something like 'when's your first kiss?' and SY didnt give a satisfactory answer hence his mouth got stained by lipstick.. lol.. and other questions he cannot answer his male posse kena pula! there were games to eat bananas and apples without hands also.. guy on guy action bwahaha
and a self-made wedding agreement to 'go shopping and be ATM' for my cousin!
tea ceremony- me and my sis were tea girls yay..
after that not much time to shop but we went gurney plaza anyway. jeez.. cant even find a retro hairband. but bought earrings anyhoo.. a girl can never have enough =p
and of course, the highlight of this post-- the wedding dinner.. wish i had the photos with me.
it started fairly on time-- 830pm we tucked into food already. the invitation said 730pm. one hour delay only! impressive! there were two projectors showing collage of the married couple's childhood pics till the present, and also their garden party pics.. swoon.. so preeeetttyyy.. especially karen. my sis says she makes the perfect bride.
there were 3 live singers, a teresa teng copycat, a pleasant voiced chinese who's quite sweet looking and the bitchy sisters dubbed 'tranny' coz i tot she looked like one.. but on closer inspection no extra protrusion at the throat if yknow what i mean.. she's not bad a singer la.. my mum was soo impressed by her...oh not forgetting the cheena versh of elton john, complete with keyboard!
food was the usual chinese dinner fare.. don't need to elaborate.. but i didnt burst my tummy on this one. then came the long yam sengs.. and the tour around the grand ballroom (it was held at gurney hotel) with the groom's father being quite red in the face already hahah. and two of the live singers came down to the floor to sing and dance with some ppl. there was this horizontally challenged male friend of the groom (which i dubbed mad fat guy-MFG) who's really sporting and started shimmying with tranny during shalala lala.. i must admit they have rather odd selection of songs for a wedding.. like there was big spender and hot stuff.. =p
ah i must post the pic of tranny and granny(not mine) on the blog some day. the white haired granny really liked to groove. =p also was this DOM that went on stage -and later he puked, ugh.. not on stage though.
i think it was gloria gaynor's i will survive that got mum and dad dancing too. by then already a small group of ppl at the extra space in the ballroom.. then me and my sis were like ah heck it lets dance also.. along to that chicken little nomanomane song. OMG-- maiya hee maiya ha maiya hoo maiya haha... i can't believe i sang along to it!!!
so funny. it was like dance floor some more with livin la vida loca and can't take my eyes off you- carlsberg song and hips don't lie. and the groom have some 'hip' moves and dirty dancing with the blushing bride (a little only la-- lol i like to exagerrate)
wow. wedding to remember.
-and also have to deal with relatives asking so
when's your turn?
