and now it's d wedding post.
so the wedding was on 15th nov.
jannah's bdae. hahaha.
aniway, mi and 3 other cousins were kinda the bridesmaid cum sisters.
cos 4 of us were the closer ones.
and the bride wasn't a local.
so she went to a hotel to stay d nite before d wedding day.
some hotel near my sch. hahaha.
and 2 of my cousins went to stayover too.
to accompany d bride.
i wasn't one of them.
cos i didn't wan to.
kinda troublesome for mi.

cos i have alot of stuff.
those ppl who noe mi will noe la.
i have my own shampoo.
cannot use other shampoo.
and i took veri long to prepare.
so if i go, i have to bring lots of stuff.
and tad day, i had my period.
haha. so not veri convenient for mi.
so i rather slp at home.

was supposed to reach d hotel around 6plus am.
so wanted to wake up at 4am.
haha. but abit exaggerating.
so decided to wake up at 4.30am.
but i slept at 2am.
in d end, i woke up around 5am.
and it's kinda rush for mi.
cos half an hour would alr be spent on bathing.
change into my new gown. yellow tube dress.
bought it d day before.
so i packed all my cosmetics and off i went to d hotel.
was damn tired.
just feel like slping.

reached hotel.
sun haven even rise.
went to look at d bride.
she's alr starting to make up.
so i went to another room.
and i did my own make up.
in d end, i was d onli bridesmaid with make up.
d others didn't.
cos they're not into make up.
waited for an hr plus before d groom came.
he came at 7plus i think.

during d 1 hr, it's kinda boring.
no show to watch.
all d weird weird show early in d morning.
spent my time making up, doing my hair.
helping my cousins with their hair too.
just using hairdryer to blow their hair.
cos i'm like d pro there.
hahaha. but i'm not d pro la.
den talk crap with my cousins.

oh ya. not forgetting d other small cousins.
pri sch.
kept disturbing mi and anyhow take my cosmetics stuff to play.
so i have to kept telling them not to take my stuff.
at d same time, trying to concentrate on my make up.
which is kinda hard.
cos they're veri noisy.
typical kids.
and tad day took mi d longest to put on my make up.
with all d distractions.

den d groom finally came.
we looked through d windows.
and we could see the 4 wedding cars.
hahaha.
so we stood at d door.
first, making sure if d bride is ready.
2nd, to give him a hard time.
he gave us an angbao.
but we asked for more.
and we realli got more.

den he was asked to eat bread.
it's d breakfast at d hotel.
d bread wasn't nice.
so disgusting.
so he's made to eat 1 a third of it.
and d bread was kinda thick with 3 slices i think.
and den we just let him in.
dont have much ideas.
and i'm veri tired.
i just wan d money.
hahahah.

after tad, we went back to d groom's hse.
d couple had to eat 'tang yuan'.
den they also took some photos.
meanwhile, we youngsters also took some photos too.
den had to wait for d couple.
cos they had to do some praying and stuff like tad.
we just hang around and chit chat.
and we kept saying we were hungry.
cos we didn't had breakfast.
and i was veri thirsty.
no water for mi. so sad ah.

den we went to the eldest son's hse.
my biggest uncle.
go there to pray to my ah gong.
my family is all d funni ppl can.
all so nice and friendly.
my family is like d best la.
go aniwhere, everywhere we can just chat abt anything, everything.
and we all will just end up laughing.
cos we're just funni.
esp. mi. i realised i'm like d joker there la.
everytime talk and talk and talk.
den things tad come out from my mouth sure funni one.
will just make everyone laugh.

after tad, we went to botanic gardens for photoshoot.
sian. i heard botanic gardens den i'm like. sian.
all d grass, trees and flowers.
smth i dont like.
den i was saying smth in d car when we're on d way there...
say we can just take along roadside.

y go all d way to botanic gardens.
tad kind of place got ppl wan to go meh.
and it's like so typical. not special.
shld go beach or smth.
free leh. got water, sand, trees, grass and flowers also.
isn't it better?
and my cousin said go swimming pool.

haha. we're lame and funni.
talk alot of crap on d way.
and when i reached botanic gardens, i'm shocked.
cos there was alot of ppl.
and there was alot of dogs!
there's not alot of locals la.
some locals jogging, bringing along their dogs.
alot of foreigners.
i was damn scared la.
so mani dogs.
have to keep avoiding.
den hide beside my cousin who is not scared of dogs.

and we attracted alot of attention.
everyone was just looking at us la.
but we dont realli care.
cos ppl there wore until damn casual.
or they were wearing sports wear.
den suddenly, we tis grp of ppl came.
dressing up in gowns and suits.
of cos everyone will look at us la.
there's even ppl taking photos of us.
haha. i'm referring to d foreigners.

and it's so tiring.
cos it's damn hot.
den my cousins have to hold the bride's wedding gown.
and we have to walk in heels.
and i have to keep looking out for nearby dogs.
walking and looking back or looking forward.
den kept saying we're veri hungry and thirsty.
it's just so tiring.
and i onli slept for 3 hrs.
even worse.
even d bride was complaining.

and d parking was full.
so d rest have to stand outside to look after d cars.
i rather go outside and stood by d car.
at least i can still sit inside d car.
dont need walk around.
and of cos, we took lots of photos.
photos with waterfall, flowers, decorations etc.
after tad, we saw tis shop selling drinks and food.
so we went to buy.
omg. damn damn ex leh.
1 small bottle of mineral water is like 3 bucks.
den we bought 5 bottles of h2o and it's like 15bucks.
damn damn damn ex.
but no choice.

tad day, there is some special exhibition.
free entry for students.
but i didn't bring along my student card.
adults have to buy d tix.
initially, i just wan to stay outside.
sit down and rest.
suddenly joanne (my small pri 5 cousin) came out.
she passed mi some tix.
so i went in lor.
some stayed outside.
d 3 kids, d couple, mi and cassie went in.
and of cos d photographer followed us.
hahahha.

went in and walked around.
took alot of photos.
was damn damn hot and tired.
but there's nth we can do.
saw alot of flowers.
and there's even celebrity flowers.
saw quirrels.
saw a lizard-look-alike reptile.
den d bride was kinda complaining.
so we didn't went in further.
we walked back instead.

and after tad, we went back.
spent abt an hr there i think.
almost lost d 3 kids.
haha.
dogs were barking away.
so scary to see them there alr.
d barking just had to make it worse.
cos their barking was damn fierce.
so scary.
though some dogs were realli cute.
saw some twin dogs.
saw a small susage dog.
damn cute la. cos it's damn small.

saw veri big dogs also.
and i think those big and black dogs are d scariest.
saw some dogs trying to talk to each other.
or trying to noe each other.
hahaa. so cute.
saw alot of different breeds.
den we saw 2 same breed of dogs.
they of cos look alike.
but they belong to different owners.
but i think d dogs were kinda attracted by each other.
so they stopped and just 'talked to each other'.
talk in some doggie langauge?
hahaha.

and off we went.
i didn't had blisters.
but my skin came off after d long walk.
went back to d groom's hse.
and it's lunch time.
finally there's food and drinks for us.
but d food wasn't veri nice.
it's some buffet.
there's tis particular food item.
dunno wad it's called.
i onli noe its name in hokkien.
so not nice la.
den i said i prefer those made by my ah ma.

just hang around and chit chat.
said alot of funni stuff.
but can't reali rmb.
as usual, i'm d interactive kind.
talked to almost everyone there.
just walked around and chat with whoever i saw.
cos other couples will normally just stayed in 1 corner.
after tad, we had the tea session.
couple giving d elders tea.
den we children giving d couple tea.
a typical custom by d chinese.

we still hang around.
psp came out.
den we all just gathered around there to see.
they were playing d jap drum.
d one also available in arcade.
i played tad one before.
and i rmb i was playing with joyce.
kinda fun.
and it can be played by all of all ages.
after tad, we took more photos.
den we went home at around 1plus to rest.
reached home nearly 2.
damn tired.

i wanted to slp.
but decided not to.
cos i couldn't slp for long.
went to watch tv.
but somehow, i still fell asleep.
slept for abt 1 hr.
and i slept with my makeup still on my face.
after tad, i quickly wash off my make-up.
hang around at home.
and den i started to prepare for d nite wedding dinner.

bathe.
change into a new black tube gown.
my fav dress.
and it's my most expensive dress.
put on makeup.
and den off we go.
picked my cousins up.
went to chevrons first.
den my mum went back to pick up my family.
dinner was at chevrons.
cos they dont wanna have a grand one.
just a small and simple dinner with d close ones.

reached there veri early.
around 6.30pm.
checked out our table.
checked out d restaurant.
looked at d bride.
saw d cake.
hang around and chat.
saw another event there.
veri noisy and they had free goodies bags.
mi and my cousins wondered wad's inside.
stoof there and start waiting for d others to come.

we 4 bridesmaid then became d receptionists.
haha. to sit by the table for the guests to sign their name.
we even bought a nice book (precious moments) and coloured pens.
but i think it's different generations.
so not much ppl wanna sign.
everytime i asked d older guests ppl to sign,
they would have d same reaction.
they would say 'huh. dont wan sign la.'
or 'i dunno how to sign la.'
ppl who signed are of cos us, some other cousins.
some guests tad looked younger.
if it's our generations, sure alot of ppl will sign.
and they will write alot of stuff there to fill up d spaces.
in d end, less than a quarter of d book is being filled up.

the whole day wasn't as smooth.
as in in between, there's alot of unexpected things.
but we still managed to resolved them.
so nth happen.
hahaha. i stood outside d restaurant.
sometimes saying hi to ppl i noe of.
sometimes bringing d guests in.
i feel like some pr manager when i brought them in.
sometimes talking crap with cousins.
or sometimes talking to other ppl i noe of.
walked around here and there.
ensuring everything goes well.
sometimes going to d adults to hear wad they're saying.
den spread d latest info to my cousins. hahaha.
like some paparazzi.

it's fun la.
different kind of experience as being d guests.
if i'm d guest, i would have to sit by d table.
which is quite a boring thing to do.
den we 4 bridesmaid were separated into 2 pairs.
cos we have to do d poppers thingy for 2 times.
1 during d start of wedding dinner, d other halfway thr' d dinner.
we bought those big poppers.
tad we have to pop when d newly weds walked in.
den cassie explained everything to us.
and i'm veri sure wad we're supposed to do.
and we're veri sure.
but still, smth happened.

it goes like this....
so when all d guests arrive, we went to our seats respectively.
time was around 8plus i think.
den it's mi and lingling turn first.
so we went to d area to stand by.
suddenly, d photographer came and told us smth different as cassie.
cassie said "after d 2 kids pass d line, den u pop"
but d photographer said "when d 2 kids reaching d line, den u pop"
so i listened to d photographer lor.
i tot it was d latest info or smth.
d kids are d 'hua tong', throwing d flowers.
real flowers by the way. and it's kinda ex.

it turned out tad wad d photographer said were wrong.
cos in d end, d poppers popped for d kids and not d newly weds.
d newly weds haven even reach our area den we pop alr.
so it means we pop too early.
after they finished walking, tad stupid F***ing photographer BLAMED US.
like wtf leh.
is he say one leh.
i just merely followed.
den after tad he said "u 2 pop too early la. its supposed to pop for d couple, not d kids"
den kept laughing and pushing d blame on us.
even d guests all laugh and said it's our mistake in hokkien.
i sweared i was damn fed up.
tad stupid photographer tot he was veri smart and all.

before d wedding dinner starts, he even PURPOSELY take out his phone.
think it's IPHONE to show off can.
den i'm like 'wth -.-'
so i just ignored.
i dont even bother to look at wad he's showing to d rest.
i totally ignored. hahahah.
den now, he makes mi so no face la.
everyone think it's my fault.
damn damn damn angry.
stupid old arrogant photographer.
hate him like hell.
even now thinking back, it just makes mi boil.

but den tad day is a happy day, so i controlled my anger.
and told myself not to think abt it anymore.
but it's veri hard for mi to do so.
cos i cannot stand myself to do things wrongly.
so have to control my anger.
at d same time, telling myself not to think abt it.
at d other time, trying to make myself happy.
but it's damn tough.
cos after tad, when we started eating,
some of d adults approach my table.
one by one approach leh.
and each time one came to my table, they will talk abt d poppers thingy.

so i initially try to explain to them nicely.
after tad, i realli cannot tahan animore.
my tone kinda changed la.
but i still wan to explain.
cos it's realli not my fault.
den end up i became kinda agitated.
want to scold vulgarities.
but i didn't.
i scolded "knnbccb"
hahahhaha.
so civilised can.
damn damn angry la.

after tad i explained too mani times alr.
veri tired.
so they came to my table.
i will just say it's not our fault.
it's d photographer's fault.
but i dont wanna explain any further.
even lingling was veri angry lor.
2 of us just feel like whacking d photographer.
so irritating!
spoil my mood a little,
and he's damn slow la.
wedding over so long alr, still haven give us d wedding photos.
old and so inefficient!
thinks so highly of himself. still show off his phone.
arrogant old man!

but after a while, i cooled down and enjoy d dinner.
d dinner wasn't veri nice la.
some food not to my liking.
but will still try to eat a little.
den i was sitting besides des.
nice chap. cos previously didn't talk much to him.
expect during a bdae party.
saw him there.
so got talked to him a little there,
veri gentleman.
cos he will take d food for mi.
haha.
so i just sit down there and relax.
wait for ppl to serve mi. hahaha.

had d cold dish (appetizer).
den shark fins with beansprouts. so not nice.
got ginseng chicken, noodles, fish, prawns, sea cucumber and some tako scallop.
i dont eat sea cucumber.
i tot d tako scallop looks nice.
omg. after i eat 1 mouth, i feel like vomitting.
i dont like d taste of d tako a.k.a yam?
i think so la.
my cousin says one.
damn gross.
d dessert was kinda nice and sweet.
for d prawns, my younger cousin helped mi peel.
so nice of her to do tad.
so i didn't dirty my hands.

as usual, i drank red wine.
our table is all d youngsters.
den almost everyone has 2 glasses each.
1 is red wine.
d other is soft drinks.
hahah. so standard.
took lots of photos too.
there's a half time during d dinner.
newly weds will change into different gowns.
tis time, my d other 2 cousins went.
nth goes wrong.
they pop at d right time.

den it's d time for d 'yum sheng'.
champagne time.
mi and my cousin (cheryl) went up cos we want to drink.
cassie just tag along.
plus guys also.
cos they need to shout.
kor kor damn funni mi.
make mi keep laughing.
so i didn't realli shout.
how to laugh and shout at d same time?
hahahahah. muz watch d video den it's funni.
champagne was nice.

den d newly weds will go to each table to take photo.
and our table just have to be d last one.
so cheryl tot of ways to give my uncle a hard time.
started to make a special drink for him.
hahaha. it's damn gross.
and it smells horrible.
added red wine, coke, soy sauce, prawn juice, chilli, ginseng chicken soup,
fish sauce and a prawn.
tis is wad i rmb la.
damn disgusting la.
a prawn leh.
so we made him drink tad plus eating tad prawn.
my uncle damn on la.
he finished everything.

drank quite a lot of red wine i think.
cos there's tis time when i wanted to go toilet,
i passed by my mum's table.
den got some relative of mine stopped mi.
talked to mi a bit.
den asked mi to help him drink.
and i said i can drink.
cos i herited genes from my parents.
so i can hold my liquor quite well.
so i drink a glass of red wine at a go.
den i went to d toilet.
not to vomit ah. just to pee.

after i went back, it's alr nearing d end.
last dish alr.
den kor suddenly challenge mi.
so we drank our glass of red wine.
he of cos drink faster than mi la.
firstly, he's a guy.
secondly, he has a bigger mouth than mi.
hahahahha.
and d dinner ended.
guests all went off quite fast leh.
cos i didn't even realise they left until i turned and see.
left our family members.
started taking photos.

den we started leaving one by one.
smth happened to my family.
i was rather unhappy abt it.
cos i hate tis kind of ppl.
but i dont wanna mention much la.
since it's so personal.
kinda spoil d whole thing.
cos it's not a happy ending for mi.
by right, i expected myself to go home happily.
den to have a gd rest.
since i onli slept for 3 hrs d day before.
but it wasn't like tis.

i was so unhappy abt it.
have to trouble so mani ppl.
made a stupid scene down there.
so unglam can.
i felt so embarrassed though im not directly involved.
but indirectly, i'm affected.
ruin my mood.
den have to do so mani things.
dirtied so mani things.
in d end, still have to clean up and wash up.
and it just turns mi off.
cos i'm a clean freak,
i can't stand dirty stuff.
and i realli hate tis kind of ppl

but wad to do.
part of my family.
so i also can't do anything.
just hope tad it wont happen animore.
everything will be fine and well.
everything will be as per normal.


but overall, i realli enjoyed myself.
enjoy being a bridesmaid cum sister.
though it can be veri tiring.
but it's fun.
and tis wedding dinner brings d whole family tgt.
so it's kinda nice.
and i doubt we ever had such chance to take family photo.
first time took a whole family photo with relatives.
though it's not a complete, it's still good la.
a memory and experience.
and we cousins had so much fun tgt.
playing tgt.
talking tgt.
taking photos tgt.
doing things tgt.

so it's a gd experience.
it would be another different experience if d bride is my gd fren.
hahaha.
will wait for such events next time when we all are older.
start attending wedding dinners.
or to play a part as the sister or bridesmaid.
hahaha.
it'll be nice i think.
even more fun.
youngsters together = havoc!
hahahaha.
aniway, i'm lazy to upload d photos.
but i've uploaded some onto facebook alr.
look out for more photos next time.

and cos of tis wedding, i have d chance to wear gowns.
to wear my fav tube dress.
so far worn tad dress twice onli.
to dress up veri nice.
to dress up formally.
to put on make up.
to wear heels.
normal day i would be lazy cos wear heels can be tiring and troublesome.
to use my fav silver clutch.
cos tis clutch is veri class.
and can onli match it with gowns.
so cannot use on normal days.
wedding once in a while would be nice.
but not too frequently. cos it's kinda troublesome to dress up.
haha. i'm contradicting myself.

aniway, going to slp soon.
wan to try to slp early and wake up early.
