Jolene & Mr Foon's Wedding

-


This was the 3rd wedding that I attended for this month. I am very happy for the bride and groom, when they decided to get hitched after a short courtship.

I was awaken by my mum at about 9am, who thought that the tea ceremony was to start at about 10.30am. When we reached my uncle's house, Jolene's mum was very shocked to see us as we were super early. Her mum served us a breakfast of choclate cake & red date tea. After the breakfast, I decided to chat with Jolene's younger sister, who is 12 years younger than me, on how she felt having the whole room by herself. I can sense that she was very happy for her eldest sister.

At about 11.30am, the relatives started to pour in. I can see all the smiles on the faces. I guess they are happy for the couple too.

The bride & groom finally arrived at 1pm. The tea ceremony proceeded shortly after. It started off with my paternal grandma's side of relatives and ended with my mum, as my dad decided that he was too tired to attend the ceremony and went home to sleep. I could sense that my aunts were not happy about it, but they are not that caring and concerned about my dad, so I just ignored their persistent questioning about my dad's disappearance.

In the evening, we took a cab down to Teochew City Resturant, the venue of the dinner. My brother and I were seated at different tables from our parents as my uncle requested my parents to sit with him at the red table. It was interesting to see my 2 uncles and my dad sitting together, like what my 2nd aunt commented, the 3 of them seldom met up and speak more than 10 sentences.

The dinner was a standard 10 course dinner with the famous Teochew desert Or Ni as the last dish. The food was alright, except that the resturant service could be better. I ate a lot last nite as my table was only filled with 7 people. The proud cousin and her husband skipped the dinner to go on a holiday trip and my 2nd aunt's daughter and husband were busy working. It was a quiet dinner as I need not hear people boasting about their achievements.

The slideshow is my special gift for the couple. Hope that Mr & Mrs Foon enjoys it.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
