After Wedding 'Report'

It's been 3 days since my wedding & everything went smoothly all thks to Shirley, my jie-meis & the bros help. N nt forgetting a big thk u to all the guests for their gifts and for arriving on time.

Tracing back to the actual day morning, i woke up only @ 5.50 am when i'm supposed to wake up @ 5 am. Y? Cos i was too excited till i cldn't slp the previous nite. Anyway, started the actual day morning rushing to bath as my MUA arrived @ 6 am. Only manage to have some pandan cake in the midst of doing up my make-up. Nelson & Michael arrived @ 6.30 am & took some photos & video of me having my make-up done. Shirley & the jie-meis (excluding eleen cos she only woke up at ard 7 plus!!!) arrived at ard 7 am to prepare the stuffs to 'tekan' the guys.

The 1st stop was to my in-laws' hm for the tea ceremony followed by back to my new hse to change to the 'kua'. Last stop was back to my parent's hm for the tea ceremony. By then, i was v shagged but then i still have to put on my smile for the cameras. hehe.

Checked in to the hotel at ard 2 plus but nt much time to rest as we unpacked our stuffs, removed my make-up etc. By the time i finished my make-up, it was 7 pm and me & Jia Lin stayed in the rm while the rest went down to the ballrm to entertain the guests. I was v nervous as i started 'practising' for the march-in. I was so afraid that i might stepped on my gown & fell down while walking down the aisle.

Went down @ 7.30 pm to mingle with the guests and as well as to calm myself down. It was so nice to see everyone arriving so early and congratulating me.

The 1st march-in was so nice with all the bubbles & rose petals but then a lot of bubbles that the guests blew ended on my lips & i was feeling errr.... hehe. Anyway, it went thru smoothly cos at least i nv stepped on my gown. The 2nd march-in was much more easier but again with the poppers landing on my hair. hehe... Overall, it was v beautiful & memorable.
The speech from my lao gong was also qte entertaining as he started w the sentence, 'let me begin w a story'. This phrase is how his boss always starts his speech. N nt forgetting that I'm also v touched by what he said to me on the stage. Thk u dear!!!

The dinner ended at ard 10.30 pm & i was v v tired by then. My lao gong's face was also v red cos his friends had 'forced' him to drink. I cld remember him drinking a glass of liquid that consisted of 2 eggs. So disgusting...

Anyway me ended up slping at ard 2 plus that nite while my lao gong fell asleep at ard 12 plus w/o bathing. But it was reali a wonderful & memorable wedding!!!

However on the day jus before we checked-out, we had a nasty experience. When we approached the valet staff for him to retrieve our car, he jus simply put the key on the desk and said 'Ur key... ur car is there...' and afterwhich he walked away. But aren't valet staffs supposed to drive the car to us and moreover it was raining v heavily. My lao gong was v pissed off and he complained to the duty mgr. He even wanted to speak to the staff himself but seems like they cld nt find him. As what he said, 'Started w a high note & ended w a low note'. The wedding experience was wonderful but it jus simply gt spoilt by the valet staff.

1 more gd news today... Our car no. 1234 came out in the 4D today but..... we nv bought the no!!! But anyway qte a lot of my lao gong's friends won and we r also happy for those who won. Congrats!!!

Wedding Details

Had a pre-wedding briefing with my jie-meis & my lao gong's bros yesterday nite @ my new hse. Started the briefing @ ard 8pm with my lao gong as the 'presenter' with the ppt slides that i did. U all might say it's qte 'kua zhang' but i think it's gd that everyone knows what will be happening on the day itself; so-call be mentally-prepared since it's me & my lao gong's big day. I have to thk the jie-meis & bros for their time to attend the briefing and thking in advance for agreeing to help us on our big day.

Anyway me & my lao gong also stayed @ our new hse yesterday for the 1st time where both of us plus my piglet squeezed in 1 single mattress placed on the floor.

Tml will be the 过大礼 @ 0930 hrs @ my hse & 安床 @ my new hse. Both my dad & mum were busy preparing the stuffs just nw and there goes the same for my lao gong's side. A bit excited but also feeling v tired. Think i gonna zzz early. 12 more days to my wedding... Aw, time passes too quickly!!!

After the St Chartered Run...

I'm nw feeling v 'chao da' bcos of the after-effects of the St Chartered Run yesterday morning. Tis is my 2nd time on the 10km route while my lao gong went for his 1st full marathon (42.195km).

My time was ard 1 hrs 20 mins while he spent 7 hrs on the rds and with him limping back. Again i've to say... spent $$ to torture ourselves. But... i reali feel a sense of achievement while he'd an experience of having to endure thro a rough journey with pain in his arms & feet. But i'm having sun burnts on my shoulder and dunno if my skin will turn back into the original color by my wedding... Boo boo... Did nt thought of that when i was running!!! Aw... how??? So day & nite, i'm applying whitening lotion on the sun-burnt parts.

Anyway, gt myself a photo after the race courtesy of Adidas... Looked shagged rt?

Nxt yr's target: To run the 21km with my lao gong!!!
