Wedding 2007

This post about MunKeong and SuetBeng's wedding in January 2007.

Before a wedding, there is a bachelor's night or a buck's night. Munky's buck night started off with a dinner at TGIF with his OCF friends. This was actually my first look at a bachelor's night cuz none of my close male friends have married. I had the juicy Jack Daniel's medium-done burger, which I thoroughly enjoyed. After that we made MunKeong dress ridiculously and perform some embarrassing stunts around Subang Parade and later at Sheraton Hotel, details of which should not be mentioned here but suffice to say that it was totally hilarious, although some were quite disgusting! Hahaha!

Their wedding day went smoothly. They had the flower kids, pretty decorations, soft background music, lots of photo-taking and all that wedding jazz. SuetKeong looked their best. The wedding dinner at Sheraton was great too. I got to see my friends from CBC there, all dressed smartly and elegantly, smiling widely and cheering for the newlyweds. Funny thing, I had four types of drinks on my table that night, red wine, Coke, chinese tea & water. The food was very well presented, nice atmosphere, with some fire-sword-wielding waiters even, but as usual these dinners are of good quality not quantity. Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable time. I'm waiting for our next cell member to tie the knot. Haha!

Christmas Eve dinner & New Year trip

I'm very lagging in my blog updates. Hahaha...I just realised, isn't that an ironic contradiction? "Lagging updates" Haha! But seriously, here I am writing about my December events in February.

Christmas Eve dinner was great, as every year. Though it was more fun last year when Ben was around to celebrate with my family but then again my auntie from Ipoh is here with us this time. I cooked the majority of the food, such as hot dogs, ham, scrambled eggs, & mushrooms. Dad handled the main meal of beef steak while mom & TaiYee made the ABC soup & salad. The turkey was a tad dry though. It was a nice, enjoyable, cosy Christmas Eve dinner and of course the presents were nice too! In fact, the only thing that was bugging me was that I couldn't go for my church's Christmas dinner. My cell was in charge of the games and door gifts (coconut candy) this year, which I helped out, but in the end couldn't experience it for myself. I even bought a gift for exchange and I wonder who got my spastic-looking turtle. Sigh...if only there were two Christmas Eves every year!

On New Year's Eve, I went on a 3-day trip to Lumut, near Sitiawan with Sieak Meeng, Nick, and some others. It was quite a relaxing trip and we ate lots of Sitiawan food. We didn't do much because it was a very low-activity trip. We basically ate food, toured around, went to some beaches, ate more food, played some fun board games, and ate more food. We also went to the kampung area where I ate/drank two whole freshly picked coconuts! Then we spent New Year's Eve playing Pictionary, which I found out, is a very fun board game. Maybe I'll get one someday and bring it to cell for welcome.
