Surprise
Alright. This is going to be a super long post as I am going to update what I have been recently busy with.
People who aren't aware of what exactly happen, don't get stunned. :) Probably just want to be low profile.
Before I start my surprising news, lately my company also have difficulties in financial.
Office:
As usual with pay delay. November salary was settled only on 4 week of December. Everyone complaining here and there. People leaving the company. Man power dropped from 50% to 25%. With more and more people leaving in January, I think this company will only have less than 10 colleagues. Been working @ home during December due to the late pay. Lucky we got the December salary and all the claims on 13th January. But the team is no longer there. Am wondering when will be my turn.
Hmm, sad thing to put aside. Now come to the exciting part of my life.
My big day was over. 11th January 2009. My Wedding hold at Pearl River Palace, Suntec Convention Center. I am Mrs Tan.
It may seem to be very rush over these 2 months, but with greatly help from my cousins, my aunties and my sisters, everything came out successfully and wonderful!
Hence, I would like to thank you the following for accompanying me during these 2 months, without you all, I think everything will be in a mess. :) *Touched*
1. Nancy nya - Nevertheless, she has never failed to help me whenever I need help. Treating me like her own daughter. Boiling tonics for me, helping me to find restaurant for my big day. Becoming the middle woman on what should we buy, like tea pots, orange juice, etc between Mama and my nya. Supporting me all these while, money wise, food wise. Sewing all the jewelery. She is really a great aunt.
2. Eng nya - Seems to be very "kan jiong" but still I wanted to thank her for rushing Yulian if I have done this or not. Gown, etc. Only very ka po. =x Without her rushing, I wont get things in time.
3. Yulian - My wedding = her wedding due to her nya rushing and asking things from her. =x She has been a great help to me. Accompanying me to choose my gown which took about 3-4 hours. Sending me the itenerary from her friends, the sabo list, etc. Becoming my sister of the big day, the bridemaid of mine to carry my heavy gown tail, serving me food during the day time, my receptionist helper of the day and helping me change to my evening gown. :) My MSN chat kakii, never failed to talk about the past.
4. Maybelline - My sister of the big day. Although I am not sure what you did during the day time, I still want to thank you for waking up sooooo early to help me. I haven't seen the videos yet. My another receptionist helper of the day. Again I failed to see what you all are doing. WHERE IS THE VIDEO. Must wait for choon to send me. Grr. Hee. Anyway, first time being a sister, must be real fun. :P
5. Yue Ming & Alvin - Yueming, my another sister of the day. Not forgetting her greatful help together with her BF on my dinner stage. Thanks for becoming my emcee. Although this is your first time trying out, but you did a super great job. :)
6. Ming Jing, Jamie, Mei Yan & You Dian - My sisters and brother of the day. Thanks for the help all along. I hope you all enjoy that day.
7. Helen - My make up artist, professional. I like the way she deal with my hair.
8. Mum, Dad and Brother - THANK YOU. Actually I wanted to say my feeling after being marry. Mostly to mum. But I can even feel the sense that I want to cry. So I can't blog now as I am in the office, later my eyes red red. :(
9. Everyone - I may have leave out you all. Sorry but still thank you everyone!
The time went super fast on that special day. Woke up at about 5.30am to bath and get ready for Helen to reach my place. My poor house doesn't have a big mirror. The mirrors are all hiding in the cupboard fixed to it. Ended up I have to sit outside the toilet to get my hair set. So paiseh =x Soon, my sisters reached, although a bit late. And my relatives and the photographers. After the makeup and hair set session, mum and dad helped me put on my veil. Actually wanted to cry one but I "REN". :P Followed by family photo shoot.
Not long later, just in time, the cars downstair started to honk loudly and non-stop. There they are. The nervous sisters screaming here and there. Faster locking up the door to prevent the brothers and groom to enter. Sabo session started. But too bad, the brothers weren't supporting enough. As expected. They came in easily. And soon another round of photo-taking at my house with my wedding gown. And off we go to the groom's brother house.
The reason why we go to the groom's brother house is to pray to his dead father. 30 minutes to 45 minutes passed, and off we go to the groom's house. Wa. Crowded with people. The moment I stepped out of the lift, the brothers were already eating the buffet like so hungry. lol. Anyway, Pray to the god then enter the room. Photo takings again and rest a bit. I am so tired. After eating, tea ceremony started. My position seems so old when the children call me. I dont remember what title am I giving but it is super old. :( BUT OF COURSE, I DONT LOOK OLD. =x After tea ceremony session, rest a bit then change to KUA to go back mum's home.
Once I reached downstair, there were already people looking from upstairs, I can imagine the crowd too. Settle at the sofa of my living room. Photos taking and video everywhere. And soon tea ceremony started. Hong baos in and in and in. =x Finally everything settled. Chit Chat abit here and there. Play awhile mahjong while waiting for my slippers to be back. But don't want to wait anymore. Going to set off to Conrad Hotel to rest b4 the dinner start. B4 I left the house, Yulian & May collapsed at the sofa and sleep =x
Reached Conrad Hotel at about 3++. Deluxe suite never fail me especially the bathroom. My first ever wonderful hotel room I ever stay in my life. =x Ok. I know is my fault for not taking photos of that room but came to think of it, I don't know why I don't want to take. Keke. First thing was to remove all my jewelery, my make up and bathe. Suddenly I received an SMS, detailed of the SMS I am not going to say due to it is quite sensitive. It is a very sad sms from an unknown ppl. I replied "Who are you" I keep thinking who is it and asked my hubby if he know. He said maybe is my friend or uncle. I think.... my uncle... OHHHH.. Immediately I called MAMA to ask for Uncle Hai number. Oh DAMN. It is him. I think I must have hurt him by replying asking him who. Grr. Without a second thought, I sms-ed back something deep in ALL our cousins' heart. But he did not get back to me anymore. :(
Anyway, rest in the hotel room. at about 5pm, we set off to the restaurant for our makeup and hairset session. We were in this COLD room beside the restaurant. I am sooo hungry at that time. Lucky the restaurant provide fried rice, and I just ate like nobody business. Soon makeup session began. Guest arriving. They keep coming to my room and peep at me no matter how much I tell them cannot see me. Lol. Cause I paiseh ma. =x Finally cocktail started, and everyone gossiping outside while I am freezing in the room. Uncle sam, Hui and Hui's gf came in to talk to me. I am so happy to see Uncle Sam. :) Although we failed to invite Uncle Hai. :(
Time for the walk-in. The song, From This Moment On. Trust me. I have no feeling at that point of time. I only know I am very cold as my legs are shivering but not due to the nervousness. Lol. Anyway, the path to the stage were quite short. Were surprised at my cousin popping the part poppers as it was really loud. and the "papers" just "hanged" at my long eye-lashes. lol. Kissed at the stage and went to the red table to sit while the first course started. I saw so many eyes looking at me, but still no feeling. Everything was so fast. The manager told me to get ready to change to my evening gown.
Immediately I looked at Table 7, and used my hand language and silence mouth talk to Yulian to inform her that I need to change to the evening gown after eating the first course. Lol. Poor her, got to help me change. =x And soon the 2nd march in. Champagne pouring. Again, not nervous at how many people there were but were nervous at pouring the champagne. Yam Seng session started. Duh. The brothers shouted so loud and long. I was nearly DEAF. After the Yam Seng session, photos taking to each individual tables. MAN. I am soooooooo tired. Ok.
Skipping the basic photo takings session. Chit-chatting around at table 7. Self photo takings again at other tables. Was informed that I need to get ready for the Thank you session. So fast. And so shake hand and said "Thank you" I can feel my cheeks being NUMB. Really. It's NUMB. lol. Finally everything is OVER. Almost every one left. Leaving the brothers behind to cheers with my hubby. And back to the hotel room.
The brothers and wife came to see the hotel with some drunk. One nearly broke the window and fell down so scary. Anyway, once they left, the first thing I do was Not bathe, Not removing makeup, Not removing jewelery but opened up the food that the restaurant packet for us. Aiming at the Prawns with walnut. YUMMY. Gosh. lol. After that Removing makeup and jewelery, bathe and SLEEP.
- ENDED . Do wait for the next surprise coming up -
