Jasmine's wedding (11th Oct 2008) - Pt. II

And they say red bombs come in pairs.

Immediately after Alex's wedding comes dearest Jasmine's, who is tying the knot with Mr.Nice Guy Jonathan Chin. But I think even Jon would soon be polluted by Jasmine, who doesn't quite behave as demure as she looks. My foot! Hehe...

Yup, again I become the gang of brothers determined to break into the house to "rescue" the bride. Well, abit more kachiao these bunch of girls, namely Mag, Karen & Jennifer. Put these 3 siao char bohs together and you get the "jie meis" from hell!

After give angpow already go in kenna shit already (pun intended). At least it only looks like it. Peanut butter spread disgustingly on a baby diaper which they claimed is clean lah. Wah piang eh, kenna sai leh. Chut pattern liao. But limpeh like... hurhurhur... so I was first to try lah, must help ah Jon give him courage to eat shit mah... HAHAHA!!!

Then later is some stupid food tasting contest which is supposed to represent the 4 tastes. You know lah, sweet (honey), bitter (awful boiled cooling tea), sour (shit, I forgot what we ate) & spicy/hot (wasabi coated crackers). This one chicken feet lah. Nice try girls!

Ok then later later is Ah Jon take over the show liao... what sign love contract lah, declaration of unlimited love lah, sing song lah... all these Ah Jon very gamely do! R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Then finally all these, open the door & lovely Jasmine was there waiting already... Awwwww....

Cut the whole story short, we drove to the Asian art museum for some phototaking. Then its to their new house in Jurong west for tea ceremony. There we were all famished, Gary the lao beng immediately swept the buffet like hungry wolf. I think drive BMW is very the tired & hungry. That's why must eat first. Sibeh haolian...

The banquet was served at Holiday Inn Atrium near Zouk in the evening.

Only at this time, lao da aka nerdy boy ah lum came to help out for the program later. All the hard work over in the morning liao!!! Hahahaha!

We had initially wanted to go cheong after the dinner. But wah lau I think is everyone old liao, no energy to go shake our bon bons anymore. So we settled down at the lobby lounge, chit chat, eat peanuts, drink (more) red wine & watch soccer, before finally calling it a day at abt 1am.

So shag!!!!

To be a brother (pt. I)

Yesterday was to be the first time I became a "brother" - best man for Alex.

I was just a little nervous as I wouldn't really know what to expect. Cos' like I said, this is my first time mah. The day started pretty late at about 8am. And we assembled at Alex's house to go through the day's events & spruce up the bridal cars. To think that got one brother late... haha! Lucky still got enough time. This guy was still sleeping when Alex called him up at 7:30am. Champion. It was only till 9:15am that he finally arrived in his flashy blue Mazda 3. Nicely done up I must say.

And then hor this best man has to double up as chauffeur somemore. So I think the ang pow must stuff more money... hehe. Thus, I led the convoy of cars to fetch the bride at their chalet. Stress. Cannot cock up leh. Upon reaching, the games began liao. But actually they let Alex off a lot already. The customary barging into the main door (got one brother tried to climb window - power) and it was settled with the usual bribe of money (Money does make the world go round!). Ok I expected more of a fightback from the "jie meis" later, but it was not to be. Just asking the groom to say some words in Cantonese, reading out the in-law's names & a grand total of 15 push ups. Easy piece of cake, and the bride was all his! Wah I think I have seen worse! hahaha...

So after some picture taking, we went back to Alex's place for the tea ceremony. Which was then followed by the long awaited buffett lunch for the hungry people. It was almost 12:30pm before we can finally get some breather. Time to recharge for tonight!

And then we had to pack up & load all the stuffs into the car, where we would drive to Hilton hotel for the preparations of the wedding dinner. We blew up helium filled balloons to fill up the ballroom, and I drove back to fetch Alex's parents & most importantly, the bride's headgear! Luckily, just in time for the solemnization at 5pm.

The dinner eventually started (late as usual) at 7:45pm even though it wasn't a big event to begin with. Nice & cosy. Limpeh was the appointed emcee. I had a script, but I figured the more I tried to memorize it, the more I will screw things up. And hor, I had to do everything in chinese lor!! But I feel I did OK, maybe got chance as 2nd career. HAHAHA! Aside from the nervy beginning, I can feel right at ease during the yum seng part where I have to incite some noise from everyone present. For once, I felt I actually learnt something useful from my current job... Joking!!!!

Dinner finally ended at about 10:15pm. As brothers, we waited for all the guests to clear before making our leave. We were dead beat already.

Next week: Round 2 to my dearest Jasmine & Jon.
