Well! karen's wedding was on Saturday! congrats to my cousin, Karen and her husband, Samuel! Karen, you are the first one on my father's side to get married! haha. well, i'm happy for you! and she'll be moving to spore too! to simei! yay! hope to get closer to her when she is in spore!

well. we left the house at arnd 1pm. headed straight for the church. and we met with this irritating traffic jam!! i totally dun lyk it. at spore side. if not, we cld have reached the church early. but thankfully, we aren't late. and luckily we all sat tgt and was upgraded to front rows since we are relatives of the bride. so below are the photos! the last one b4 the nxt para is taken when i was bored while waiting for the tea ceremony...and look at the reflection! oh! the tea ceremony is very interesting cos my cousin's maternal side has 9 uncles and aunties. imagine the number of times tea has to be served! oh. the first few photos are taken at my condo. for fun and memory and modelling. haha. still got 2 more scenes..at the waterfall and against the brown rock pillar. but din wanna put them up...

the ceremony was very nice. i enjoyed the message alot. i din expect tat. but it reminded me again wad love and marriage is all about in a Christian context. really good reminder. thankfully, the chr was air-conditioned and the pastor was interesting. there was a chinese interpreter too! =))

actually, i also ask my professional cousin, eric, to take photos of me at the hotel room! they are really lovely! seen them already. so i'm only waiting now for he and i to be online at the same time so that he can transfer the photos to me...

the next ones are on the wedding dinner. dun i look nice in the red dress? ma purposely buy it wan. actually, it's for sarah but she din lyk it. so i had to take it. well, it's a bit loose but still bearable.

there were soothing, piano-playing pieces playing in the background while waiting for dinner to start. and thankfully, the dinner started at 8pm and not anything later than 1hour after the time stated on the card. dinner food was good. not bad. i enjoyed it. and thank God my throat din ache though one of the dishes were cooked with prawns. the food were served warm too! nice! oh oh! interesting fact! my cousin's wedding dinner had 78 tables!!! imagine that! so many ppl hor...wonder who's rich. the restaurant's really grand too! nice! =))

there's one thing i especially lyk about the bulletin/programme sheet...look at wad's written on the front cover:

yesterday, we discovered love gently unfolding in our hearts, whispering of the joy to come
today, our dreams will come true, creating memories that we'll cherish for a lifetime
tomorrow, we begin a journey hand in hand, eager to explore a world of promises
forever, we will share an everlasting love that could come from God alone

awesome, ain't it? i think it's beautiful..the way there is a chronological order :)

okay. so all in all, i did pick up a few tips on wad to do and not do in my future wedding (i hope there's one!). first, set aside rows of seats for my relatives. second, play non-lyrical, soothing music in the background while waiting for dinner to be served. muz be suitable for the diverse age grp of ppl present. third, allow parents on both side to say a speech during the dinner.

hehe. okay. wonder which cousin will be next! cheers! oh. giving tuition; teaching was fun today! tell you more soon!
