Wedding Banquet in Sandakan

Finally the wedding banquet in Sandakan is over.

We took an early flight to fly back to Sandakan on last saturday morning and the first thing I did when I have reached home were to drink 'tan ngan lou leong cha' (herbal drink). I got a very bad sore throat and my voice has became very sexxyy on that day.

Then at night, we have 150 people at home to celebrate my bachelorrete party and unfortunately, I do not even know more than half of them. Yeah, you are right. They are my parents friends. As long as they are happy...

But of course, some of my secondary schoolmates were there to celebrate with me.

Overall, I do quite enjoy the trip except my regret to be late to the restaurant for the banquet.

Initially my MUA arranged to come for the make-up session at 2pm because she had another bride at 4pm. Unfortunately, I were not feeling very well that day, high fever and I had to switch the time slot with the other bride.

The MUA suppose to reach my house at 4pm but because the first bride was late, my MUA only reached my house at 5pm. One hour late. :(

I have asked her to make-up my mum, mother in law, sister in law and my aunty first before she started mine. Or else, my mum will keep on mumbling at my ears...

Yeah, after all of them gone to restaurant, the MUA started to beautify me at 6pm and only manage to finish around 7.15pm. We reached the restaurant at 7.45pm. Kind of embrassing of being late.

Some of them may said that it is not very late because KL banquet normally start at 8pm or 8.30pm. But Sandakan is different. They start quite on time....

That is the only thing which made me very sad and regret....

"Wedding Day" by Bee Gees

We both acknowledge what we came here for
We take each other and walk through the open door
From the first time that I saw you
To the way you look tonightI was shaken by your spirit
I was blinded by your light

And the world that I used to see is gone without a trace
Replaced by your eyes and the smile upon your face
And I will not turn away
'Cause you might disappear
I was haunted by your heart
And I felt that you were here

And funny when the time is right
When lightning strikes
You're not alone
Baby, I will pray for you my whole life through
This day

We'll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
The rest of our lives
Well, take me to HeavenTake me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day

Oh, now is the hour, now is the sowing of the seed
I will take tomorrow
I will lay it at your feet
And the two of us escape from the sadness of the world
From the thunder and the darkness
From the hunger and the hurt

You know I will remember well the mission bell
That rings your name
And baby there could never be
A memory like you

We'll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
Lovers for life
Well, take me to Heaven
Take me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day

This is my pledge to you
I will follow through to the end
And we will find another plane
We'll be home again
And tonight I'm going to find true love, true love

We'll be together
Husband and wife
Now and forever
Lovers for life
Well, take me to Heaven
Take me tonight
There is nothing words can say
On this our wedding day

Chinese wedding taboos

Sometimes I really do not understand. Where do all these chinese rules and regulations come from? Some of them are just irrational - no logic at all.

This morning I had another argument with my soon to be mother in law.
She said that our bed need new bedsheet and we have to change it on 28th Nov at 1pm-2pm.

I do not have any objections but unfortunately, we will fly back from Sandakan to KL on 28th Nov itself and will only reach LCCT airport around 1pm. There is no way we can come back on time.

To me, if cannot make, then just ignore. It is kind of impossible not to have an everlasting marriage just because of that one sheet of bedsheet right?

Her plan is to change flight in order for her and my father in law to come back one day earlier.
Sigghh...all because of that BEDSHEET and thanks to those people who insist on this kind of taboo.

I got no eyes see. Let my fiancee settle it.

Oh ya, after change to new bedsheet, both my fiancee and I cannot sleep on the bed until our wedding day. Ridiculous!

At the edge

I do not realise until someone told me that I always live at the edge.

I have to sit for my Advanced Electrical Machine paper on this 18th Nov and we have to fly back to Sandakan, my lovely hometown on 24th Nov for our wedding banquet.

After the wedding banquet, we will come back to KL on 28th Nov and get ready for our BIG DAY on 3rd December 2007.

Yeah, schedule is tight and everything will happen almost at the same time.

Phewww...

Thanks god, I manage to take 3 days off in this week to get ready for the exam.
Hopefully I manage to squeeze everything into my brain within these three days....

Examination

This word does not exist in my life since four years ago.
I thought I will never have to use scientific calculator or to remember what is sine, cosine and tangent anymore.

Unfortunately, life is full of surprises and miracles.

Pre-wedding stress

In less than a month, I have to change my marital status from single to married.
We always think that there will not be much changes to our life after getting married because we have been together for near to 7 years.

Unfortunately it is not.

I have moved in to stay with him and his family since two weeks ago and maybe because we see each other everyday, there were arguments and we woke up feeling like 'old couple' or in cantonese called 'lou fu lou chai'.

The feelings are just weird..!
