Wedding
Here are some pics of KaiLin (Bob the Builder), Dennis Fung Kwat Tat and Shilly. By the way.. here's something random: Can you say this sentence repeatedly for ten times quickly?- Silly Shilly steals six sissy sheeps. Not easy right? lol Anyways the four of us finally met up on the day before Shilly and I started working cos it's been really difficult for the four of us to meet up before the holidays.
Den the man
Bob the Builder aka Hurricane Katrina
Shilly aka Loo Loo
Ok, you should know who they are by now
I woke up at the crack of dawn this morn cos it was my cousin's wedding!! It was not the actual banquet and was more of like a traditional ceremony.. where the married couple would have to serve tea to their elders and receive an ang pow in return. As my cousin's the first to get married in his family, my first aunt was really frantic and was constantly fussing over every single thing.. haha. It was quite funny to watch actually. Like when I was helping her touch up her make up she kept fidgeting and asking "xin niang lai le mei you ( is the bride here yet?)" and when the bride and bridegroom served her tea I think her eyes were like red though she kept insisting that it was the dust. Lol. The bride's gown is really nice!! Alright actually I think most wedding gowns are nice.. white as snow with a puffy skirt that gives the illusion of a narrow waist.. and a long white piece of cloth trailing after the gown. Sigh. Unless you're still wearing this gown in this era then I really have no idea what to say. Lol. Looking at how frenzied and harrassed my aunt was while going over the details of the wedding made me wonder why would such a romantic event turn out to be so troublesome. For instance, planning a wedding invloves writing out the guest list (half of which I bet usually aren't even the wedding couple's friends), giving out invitations, organising the banquet, deciding on which dishes to serve the guests at the banquet.. etc etc. Such a hassle! When it's my turn to wed, I would like my wedding to be just a simple and quiet affair. I'm not gonna invite my parents' friend or any relatives that don't even bother keeping in touch. Just my own family, a few close relatives and my friends. That's about it. No reservations for a hundred tables for the banquet and no making small talks with strangers I don't even know exist on my wedding night =) AND DEFINITELY NO SERVING OF SHARK'S FIN FOR GOODNESS SAKE! (though they are undeniably delicious and all, but it's just really cruel! The way their fins are being sliced off and their bodies thrown back into the sea. )And of course the highlight would be walking down the aisle with my dad in a church. haha. It would be best if my fiance were to whisk me away so that we could get married in some beautiful church in Italy. Hmm.. sounds like a fairy tale wedding but well, a girl can dream.
