the quiet things that no one ever knows.

Hello saveushere as i am blogging on a bright Monday afternoon.
So...

i haven't been posting up here for quite some time huh.
my apologies for that dear readers, but i have been occupying myself with other things.
to keep myself busy. well okay most of the times i spent my time job hunting and waiting at home for their call, or staying at home watching tv and do my house chores, going out with family and stuff.

i spent my second week of the holidays job hunting. failed,
because not one of em' called me.

asy informed me about this kendarat job thing and she said they need hell lots of people. i was so desperate for a job i decided to meet her up and went for the interview. at woodlands. early in the morning at woodlands. i almost fell asleep in the train because i slept at 5 the previous night. and so we alighted at woodlands, took the bus and searched for block 866. got lost and asked someone living around the area to help us.

was in the interview when someone texted me.......
BAM!
i was all smiles.
it was ten in the mrning at that time.

so anyway, raba'ah farah asy and myself went to causeway point to get something to eat because we were starving. bought macs. raba'ah farah and asy went to BHG first because i was going to meet someone. on the way.

then mum called me and nagged throughout the conversation because she got to find out tha i went out early in the mrning. i told her i went to a job interview and she still didn't stop nagging at me tsk. she then asked me to go home straight because dad's side of the family is having a wedding dinner at maritus hotel.

i like wah nbcb maritus hotel how come so sudden one.
then my mom said : it was planned months ago.
then i said : how come you never tell me?
then my dad said : you don't want come you say, don't need to say until like that.
then i said : huh what you talking about? i asking only mah.

then -----------------------------------

idk what was up with my dad that day. he started yelling to everybody and bossing everybody around. must be really stressed up about what he was going to wear. everybody wore smart suits and he wore a simple polo tee with his jeans and dr martens shoes, yeah the same shoes he was wearing during CNY 09.

and so we made our way to Maritus Hotel, met up with Great aunt and Lao ma. then followed by the rest of the family on the... 15th floor. As soon as the door lift opened, my jaw dropped. literally. I saw my Aunt ( or was it my great aunt idk ) with her wedding dress. So fucking tall and pretty. Everybody was wearing tuxedos and drinking beer and red wine. Flash was here there everywhere.

Dad led us to the dining room which all of my other cousins and aunties and great aunties and great uncles and everybody else. They were already seated down because they came so much earlier. My family was always the last to come. Well, most of the times though. They have a Mini stage in the dining room and 15 big tables with 3 levels in the room. Yeah imagine the cost of all of it. Their wedding was so grand i was staring at everything in the room.

Then the waiter came up to me from the side and he took the napkin and bend down. i was like : what the hell you doing man! but before i could say it he took the napkin, bent down and said " excuse me, miss " and put the napkin on my lap.

WAH!

damn cool.

okay i gotta admit. it was my first time attending to this kinda dinner, so i am pretty much excited. Everybody was chatting around and then my other cousins came. She brought along her husband and i thought he look like..... Isky.

no seriously he does. The hair, the shape of the body, the face, the way he look at people, the way he smiles.

yeah so moving along, everybody was at their seats already and this vincent person, the emcee for the day said he was going to show us a video during their ROM. sweet as hell. they had the whole ceremony happening. in case you were wondering what ceremony, its where two parties say I do, and put their rings on each others fingers. Then followed by cutting of their wedding cake.

After the video ended we started the dinner. Usual chinese stuff, shark fin's soup, Abalone and..... stuff. Was really excited to try their food because well i never really did had them before. what else, try la!

bride and groom made their way to the room, this part also very grand uh. they walked down the stairs and there was smoke on the ground and the lights were dim and as they entered there were people throwing flowers at the sides. the Bride interlocked her arms with the Groom's , and the groom waves to everybody.

Grand as hell? Hell yeah.

then we had the yamseng thing with wine and back to dinner.
then i told my mom..

Me : ma, next time my turn ah.
Mum : HUH what your time next time!
Me : This one all, wedding dinner, dress all ah. Get ready to plan * raising up eyebrows *
Mum : ah this one you wait uh, you wait long long.

Dad overheard me and he laughed at me.
so hard.
basket.

Me : what? can happen what.

we finished our dinner at 11, then after which we made our way home.
I had a really great time meeting my other cousins ( although i don't really think i've seen them before ).
