Wanrong jie's wedding..

Ok~!! Here to tell u the days of my cousin's wedding..~ It was quite a grand affair actually and the first time i felt all the happiness of being in this big family..~ Erm... will start by an intro then... (prepare for this long entry)... u can click the 'x' if u are uninterested in any wedding affair..~ =)

This is the first time a first cousin of mine get married... she's 20++ this year... and she's together with her bf and now her husband for 8 years be4 getting married... i think they met when they were studying in US... Both my cousin Wanrong and her husband Tsequan were studying under scholarships... if i'm not wrong... President's scholarship..~ they were actually registered liao lah... And they worked together in London for a year last year... Tsequan's a Major now... cool right... and wanrong jie handles foreign affairs coz on bonds for the scholarship... Ya.. and 19nov was the day... the customs all set in..~

In the morning... we went over to their house around 9am... the bride was still doing the hair and everyone's getting ready... the other first cousins all came promptly and we waited for the bridegroom's arrival...~ It was fun though... at 1015.. the male lead appeared with his brothers... and at this side... the girls got ready at the door... coz they were late for like 5 minutes... They were given a punishment as to go downstairs again and he got to shout out his love for WR jie... Oh man... it was really nice lah.. coz like we were at the 8th storey... and u could really hear him shout 'wanrong. wo ai ni'... so they were let up... then the 2nd stage is to do 100 push-ups... 100 for 1 person of course is too tedious lah... somemore on a wedding day... but he did like almost half the amount and the brothers each helped to do a few also lah... so ya... 2nd one pass.. 3rd stage... to spontaneously do a poem with a few given items by the jie-meis... erm.. eventually he didn't but he knew exactly what the items... they are the likes and dislikes of WR jie... well... this goes to show that how well he knows her yea...~ so they let him pass... Anyway it was really running out of time... and so the 4th stage... to drink up 4 cups of 'drinks'... and they are like 'suan, tian, ku, la'... erm... lemon juice, milo with lots lots of sugar, some bitter drink and lastly... chilli padi... And how touching it is that he drink them all in one shot.. one after another...~ So well.. of course he passed... then the 5th stage... the angbao lah... they asked for $888 but he only gave $388 lah... But well... they let him in..~ If u think it's the end of the games... well... not so soon...

Given that the house has 2 storeys...~ he got to get to upstairs right...~ thus 5 of the male cousins were made to stand at the bottom of the stairs and not to let them up... they tried to push their way thru... but obviously did not suceed..~ haha... so in the end he took out $100 to buy the way thru... ok... they let him up..~ So that was the 6th stage.. And now.. the 7th!! He was asked to sing 'yue liang diao biao wo de xin' to WR who was in the room... But when he finished alone... AR commented that he sang out of tune.. lol..~ Then he and his brothers sang again together.. loud and clear... Finally he reached his bride after giving another kai men hong bao to the jiemeis up there...~ Wow... 8 stages..~! Cool...

Ok... i dunno what happened upstairs lah.. coz not enough space for us too..~ So they came down shortly... And oh man... WR was really beautiful in the gown...~! It's time to take photos...~ Really nice man...~ took with the family as god child first... together with yingmei jie, junda kor and zhang han... Then the whole Lim family took one..~ Finally a photo of the whole family..~ though some of us were not here actually..~

Then the couple went off to the male's side while we sit around and chit chat lah..~ And in the meantime.. the buffet lunch quietly made it's way to the corridor... ok... not exactly that i chatted with all of them but as usual... i just listened to them talk most of the time..~ they are just too eloquent for me...~

Then the couple came back and it's time for the tea ceremony...~ by tradition.. as the elders get to be served... we got to serve the couple tea and get a red packet each... And till today then i realised that they gave 20 bucks each... rich yea..~ In the first place.. holding a wedding is ex.. esp the chinese style ones... Later in the afternoon... ppl started to disperse and went back home to prepare for the night..

Dad, mum and de-jie went off first in wu-shu's car... while er-jie and i waited for liu-shu's car... Not to speak of the part that we were still not ready yet.. =x ok.. So we reached The Oriental hotel around 7.10 or so.. It was still the cocktail session..~ so we just stood around.. have a drink and talk while waiting for the others... managed to see some relatives that we haven seen for a long time..~ used to go to their house every year during cny but not anymore coz we are no longer kids..~ or rather i was the one who always followed my parents around coz i'm the youngest and the most free one..~ Ok back to the topic.. And we took a photo with the new jie-fu (brother-in-law).. coz he was in his uniform..~ actually wanted to take with the couple.. but wr jie wasn't anywhere in sight..~

It was soon time and all of us went into the ballroom waiting for dinner to start..~ Since jie-fu's a major... they had to walk through the sword bridge along the red carpet...~ that's why jie-fu was in his uniform..~ so 8 of his men or mates from the army in pairs stood along the ale... with their swords held over the their heads... *claps* the couple came in...~! But as they approach the first pair.. they were blocked by the swords... And jie-fu was requested to carry wr jie up and walk the rest of the carpet..~ So he did and they successfully walked thru the next 2 pairs.. then they reached the last pair... just in front of the stage.. and again... the swords came down in front of them...~ And this time they were asked to kiss on the mouth till the clapping from the audience stops..~ (Note: he was still carrying her... strong yea..) But due to the fact that it was quite difficult for them to kiss when he carries her... wr jie requested to be put down.. and they really kiss for a long time coz we din stop clapping..~ Anyway we got bad seats right at the back... and got to see like... practically nothing lah.. haha..~

And yes... due to the bad seats we had... we started to complain that it was quite unfair for the first cousins to be at the back.... that the adults got to at least sit along the ale and we were in inside... Anyway... only 2 rows on each side of the ale..~ And we were on the 2nd..~ dotz.. Din know that we were so insignificant.. haha..~ But that's not the worse...~ The waiter that serves food for our table... oh man... a new comer all of us presume coz he din really know how to serve..~ He did it really slow man... it's like when he only served half of the table... the table behind us had already finish the dish and was starting on the next... due to the fact that he scoup for a plate and bring it to the person.. then go back to the original position and scoup for another plate then bring it to the next person and so on..~ he took really a long time.. that after sis and i went to toilet for dunno how long... he only served 3 plates of the duck meat...~ Pengz... So by the time it comes to our dessert...~ Most of the guests had already left... even the adults got out of their seats ready to leave already..~ Lol... plus he spilled some ice on da-jie... some gravi of dunno what dish on er-jie's skirt... it was really bad..~

But anyway... We got thru the dinner and it ended really late.. like it was already 11.30 when we left the place... oh btw.... we sat with junda kor, junhong kor, jie chloe, jie nicke, dax, zax who came later.., zhenyan kor and wanling jie... had a wonderful night..~ =) It's really true that girls are most beautiful on the day of the wedding... nothing but true coz she was really very pretty...

Oh.. and i grew taller by 5cm at least with the new pair of shoes.. hahah... but it's really high... and making this a chance to practise walking in those shoes be4 prom yea..~ Heex... Photos another day ba.. =)

That's all for the day..~ Cya everyone..~
