& your soul is all i ever wanted
more more more (as demanded by nana)
okay, after shopping on saturday...
Sunday morning
Woke up, shower, watch cousins get up and watch dad wonder why they didn't eat all the chee cheong fun he bought for them (hahah I got to eat wan tan mee!!) for breakfast, then rallied everyone to go over to eldest uncle's house for lunch. WAHHH ELDEST AUNT COOKED BAK KUT TEH. yummyyyyyy. then we brought over the chee cheong fun and ate that then too for lunch. After that spent some time lounging around and talking, saw a few of my elder cousins, including the bridegroom, then went back around 4pm to shower and change for the upcoming 'bachelors party' at 7pm. WAH. when we got there, there weren't many people, so just looked after youngest cousin Zhan for a while. Soon, the ROAST PIG arrived!! rush of uncles and aunts to go and sample, followed by rush of cousins when the report of its taste came in: ZHENG!! (in cantonese) omg the roast port had fat that melted in the mouth!! UTTERLY DELICIOUS. being the malaysians that we are, as the aunty chopped up the whole roast pig for the guests, we just picked up pieces and feasted and then threw the bones into the convenient drain/grass side. after that we moved on to the other foods =) fried rice, some other rice, vegs, meat, and lots of tart-y desserts! and sweet lemonade to drink! zhan was obsessed with the lemonade and kept asking for some!! There was also the thomas cup final going on, so a small crowd of enthusiasts sat there watching (and two people asked me to get them satay >.>) at the end of the night, we went back first while my mom stayed back to help my aunt.
Monday morning (and coincidentally, wesak day)
morning there is arrival of the bride and tea ceremony!! so we reached the house, all the way telling zhan he had to open the door (with the promise of an angpau if he did so to enure he would open it) and teasing him if he knew how to open the door or not! haha so cute. I wonder where this custom originated from? when the bride and groom arrived in their car (horns blearing all the way in) zhan succesfully opened the door! (so cute) and got his angpau, which he later told me seriously, I throw away! in the dustbin! (even cuter!!!)
so there was the tea ceremony and lots of people all the way till the afternoon.
oops gotta go help mom look at pics in facebook. til next time! (to be cont here)
cont on sunday june 1,
after a long tea ceremony and lunch, mi, 2 aunts and cousins and sis all went to sunway pyramid (omg again?) to buy baju shoes and do hair (for big dinner mar) and imagine, we bought 3 pairs of shoes, dresses, skirt, and did hair all in 2 hours! superb skills! then when we were washing hair, (me mom and aunts) the rest went to toilet then subway >.> during the styling process, aunty bl tried a steam perm (i think) which looked really nice, mi and pemu3 got their hair teased up and arranged and I got my hair mussed up and oversprayed with hair spray until I had allergic reaction....ahhh CHOO! not that nice, but the aunty who talked to me as she did my hair was VERY nice, she asked if i was still in secondary school! WAH. HENG I LOOK YOUNG. hahahaha. in the end my usual hairdresser, uncle Frankie did a better job styling it after he cut it for me.
dinner! all dressed up, all the young kon ladies (And one liew) got stationed EARLY as receptionist and ask people to sign the wedding guest book. very hectic, collecting stuff, asking people who they were, directing! makes me understand how hectic it is to be a person getting married or sibling of a bride/groom. then finally (as we were very hungry) the dinner started!! food was pretty delicious! everyone was very happy and satisfied! in the end, groom and cousin in law got drunk, quite hilarious. hahaha.
On the day after the wedding, the two newly-related families had lunch in overseas in PJ. yummy!
once again, to be continued...
