venue: shangrila rasa sentosa
weather : humid
well, what was the best part about the wedding? for the kids, they would claim the photo booth, esp the 4 cuzzies, claire, jo, belle and meg. in fact, they took so many good shots but chose to keep them quietly (rather than display them on the bride's album for memory).
hubby and myself hv to sit apart from the 2 girls, coz' of logistics issue? li and chin also ended up sitting at another table. surely, the sisters would hv hoped to sit together for the nite. at the end of it, joy 'lamented' that she missed our presence. surely, she had missed the 'lame teasing' from her daddy, i guess!
food was average.
jenny, the mother-in-law was stunningly pretty. her grey gown and hairdo was better than the morn church wedding's. we ended up sitting with her childhood friends and it was interesting to hear exchange of conversation amongst them in hokkien dialect.
the only pity was that the bridegroom and bride were invited by the bridegroom's family on stage to offer a toast, leaving the bride's parents 'off stage'...i found that a little strange. shouldnt it be unison of 2 families' affairs?
anyway, i had great conversation with mano too! to me, he's a man who takes things in great stride, never worrying about the unnecessary. he cited that he would never skip good food on earth just to stay healthy. his belief is to take necessary (min) medication and still enjoy good food. how does that sound to every one?
he said that his greatest worry is jean cos' he's more senior than her. it was touching to knw that a man cares enough to plan for the woman's future. but many a times, women just need the 'soft touch' from a man, and not just money talk, haha. venus and mars creatures can never see eye-to-eye lah, so fret no more, that's my philosophy! be thankful that we hv our other half with us to share all joy and woes.
well, looking at the newly-wed couple, everything seemed so perfect. but deep in my heart, i knw that marriage path is not a bed of roses. it takes many yrs for each one of us to learn to accept our other halves and be contented and happy.
the only saga that happened during the wedding was my fil's drunken state. apparently, he drank so much with one of the grandsons that he had a bad headache. aye, i wonder, if he was just too excited over the event.
the dinner wasnt filling. hubby and i were left hungry...but then again, for the sake of jenny and peter, it was all worth it!

So strange that your family is not seated together and also strange that it wasn't both families on the stage with the toast. SG's humid weather is a killer. It's so nice here in SF with the dry and cooling weather. I'm able to do long distance walks and venture up/down slopes without any sweat. Nice! And I haven't seen Nini's usual sweaty look for 1+ weeks here. Haha!
ReplyDeletewell, that's the advantage of overseas weather. but, none is like home atmosphere lah.
