My parent’s wedding :)

Hello everyone! Raymond and I have been super busy recently! It’s like riding on a crazy roller coaster ride with no ending and no destination! We had fun taking turns to fall sick, shooting weddings for lovey dovey couples like Herman and Janet, Chye Tuan and Siang Yin, Richard and Wendy etc, meeting up with interesting couples like Ken (and his friend James) who thought Raymond was Gay cos of one of the comments in the Jack and Grace entry I wrote, catching up with our past lovely couples like Jack and Guan and Jeslin and Andrew and Clarice and and and and and!! Muwahahaha.

 

Okie, we have a whole mountain of pictures to share, especially Raymond’s travel collection when he went over to China for a shoot. But today I’m sharing something interesting. My parents’ wedding pictures! =D

 

This is a one and only piece of family portrait in my family before I was born. So precious because there’s no negatives returned, and seriously, this is the only piece. ONLY piece. So many siblings inside the picture, but my dad gets to keep this maybe because he’s the eldest son? But he’s not the eldest children in the family. Hehe. I was wondering how come the bestman and my dad wears the same thing. Quite misleading! =p

 

6 sisters and 1 brother. Actually got few more brothers, but you know, families in the past cannot afford so many children, so had no choice but to give away. Some left Planet Earth already when they were young. =(

My mum pretty much hates her makeup that day. No choice cos they had a super tight budget, and this is the best my dad and his family could provide already.

 

When I was born, I grew up and started drawing things all over the house. This should be one of my masterpiece before I even went to Kindergarten. I will always remember this because I got wacked extremely badly by my dad when he saw this. It’s really lucky that I didn’t draw on the other side. Cos this is actually the one and only piece of family portrait!! Sigh… at that time I didn’t know why did my dad canned me for drawing. Now that I realised the value of pictures, I can understand his then position.

 

Maybe it’s a sign that I will be an artist when I grow up what. No?? =p

 

The photo album. One and only too!

 

Sorry for the bad quality cos I don’t have a scanner, and I quickly snapped it using my dummy camera.

 

My mum and dad’s tea ceremony. Dad was holding the plate of teacups while mum served to my 3rd uncle, and my grandmother watched at the side. Hmm… Interesting.

 

Their night banquet. No table to table shoots! Only candids. How cool!! These people are part of my mum’s family.

 

No yum seng, so you get to yum seng individually with the different tables.

 

And then they made the groom drink. My dad doesnt drink alcohol at all so I wonder what happened to him after this glass. Hmm… Oh, no speeches, no gate crashing too! =\

 

Going back already! My mum wore a pink cheongsam, with a pink tiny hat + feathers. She still keep this cheongsam though!! Can wear for my own wedding. Muwahahahahaha!!

 

Now that’s me looking at the photographer. Maybe it’s a sign that I’ll have my eyes on a wedding photographer in future when I grow up. That’s why I’m happily in love together with Raymond now.

*Blush*

 

Okie! Gotta go already! Pardon the gramers, gotta go meet couple! More updates soon! 😀

Jack & Grace Actual Day Wedding

As promised, a post on Jack and Grace’s wedding earlier on this year in January!! Phew! Finally managed to upload the photos. For the next entry, I’m gonna share on the day Andrew & Clarice had dinner with us at Peramakan (a fresh dinning experience for Raymond & I), and the surprise they gave us! 😀

 

For now, let’s enjoy the pictures from Jack and Grace’s actual day wedding! 😀

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grace’s wedding gown has a suuuuper duper long train! I wonder how did she manage to survive through her wedding day! O_O”!

 

 

 

Pretty Grace! She’s an Air Stewardess with Singapore International Airline (SIA), and she flew with Misako before! Misako is one of our wedding couple, and she’s really well loved by kids. A natural kid magnet. Hehehe. But she’s a real nice lady.  Grace is a nice lady too! I think she’s really meticulous and observant. She noticed that I bought Chrysanthemum tea during our first prawning session, and during our next prawning session, she actually bought Chrysanthemum tea for us! 🙂

 

 

Here comes the “Black Society”.

 

This is Jack! He’s a sales manager with SG Vehicles Trading. Buy car can call him, sell car can call him, anything to do with 4 wheels and an engine, call him. Muwahahaha. That’s what he posted on his Facebook!

 

 

I secretly think this guy is charming… (*.*) …Ok, now it’s not a secret.

 

Drinking some potent yucky liquid! One of the “cannot miss” items during the gatecrashing session. Eeeeeew!

 

So poor thing right?

 

Muwahahahaha!

 

 

 

Innocent looking piece of erm… Jelly?

 

EEEEWWWW! Muwahahahaha!

 

Ok, now the brother have a taste of it.

 

Cannot make it. Muwahahahaha!

 

 

 

 

I like all of Raymond’s car shot. 😀

 

 

Some couple eat the eggs, some eat glutinous rice ball, some eat mee suah, some eat everything, some poke only cannot eat, some must eat finish, some can only eat half. =_=”

 

 

Interesting picture.

 

Was Jack tickling Grace to make her smile for photos??

 

I can still remember something Jack told us when we returned from Australia last November for catching up session. We went to look for him at his workplace to pass him some stuff, and we had duck rice for lunch somewhere nearby. It was pouring cats and dogs. Halfway through our lunch, an old folk approached us to sell us tissues. Three packet for a dollar. Without any question, Jack quickly reached for his pocket and bought the tissues. Then he told us, if it was the old him in the past, he wouldn’t even have thought of doing that. But being with Grace taught him otherwise, and she changed him for the better. Grace is a person with a kind heart. Awwww… so sweet right!!! 🙂

 

At that moment, it totally changed my impression of Grace. Because when we first met up, Jack and Grace were “nursing” some hangover from partying, and she was like dressed up and ready to “kill” anytime. So I thought hmm… must be Ah lian.. Hahaha! =X

 

But after getting to know her better, she’s really someone worth befriending. 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

Snuff snuff!! Snuff snuff looked so happy in the picture!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the short short dress for their solemnisation.

 

The short one makes her look like a ballerina princess.

 

 

 

Their wedding is held at Mandarin Oriental.

 

 

 

 

Bride gotta be mysterious…

 

So intimidated to be surrounded by a group of giants!

 

 

Very interesting.

 

 

Now for the very very long train!

 

So long!!

 

Change to black cheongsam.

 

 

 

So chinese! 🙂

 

 

 

Hahaha! This kid is really cute!

 

 

 

Yum Seng!

 

And more yum sengs!

 

He really gave his all.

 

The must have yucky drink for the groom.

 

Fuwah! Such a big glass of it! Like me, he must be wondering what went into the concoction.

 

Take a sip to find out.

 

Bleahh… Horrible…

 

Interesting character!

 

 

 

 

I still think he is… charming… *blush*…

 

 

Jack kissing his daddy!

 

And he carried his emcee of the event without even remembering doing such a thing until he saw the wedding pictures! O_O”! Must be drunk already. Hahahaha!

 

That’s Jack and Grace and Raymond Phang. 😀

Kash & Charlotte

Raymond and I finally met up with Jack and Grace to pass them their wedding album. We went for Prawning Session together in the middle of the night! Or should I say, very early morning. Hahaha. The first night was at Jurong, the other night was at Sin Ming Avenue. The guys enjoy prawning, but I find it cruel, especially at the part when you start to cook them while they’re alive. I almost turned vegetarian when I saw how they used the skewers to poke the prawns. Should have brought my dummy camera to document the whole process.

 

First night they displayed the prawns on the table, and sprinkled packets of salt on them before poking them with the skewers. Then you can see how the prawns struggled by flapping their tails vigorously, and how their legs moved rapidly in hope to struggle and break free from the human hands. For those with claws, the guys will break them by pulling it apart from the body and throw them aside. There was this 2 giant prawns which left me deep impression. Jack was holding onto 1 of them, preparing to poke it with the skewer, but that prawn was holding onto the claw of the other prawn of the same size. Gives me a feeling that it doesn’t want to die, or it doesnt want to leave the other prawn, which could possibly be his/her partner. So sad I tell you! 😦

 

Second night was the same, but this time, they poke the prawns and soaked them in a pail of very salty salt water. Must be damn painful. Some of the prawns were pregnant and you can see a whole lot of orange colored tiny round things inside their body. Quite disgusting.  =X

 

Prawning is fun and filled with excitement. The process is fun, but I don’t like the part on killing them. Sigh… But prawning can help you to train your level of patience and at the same time helps you destress because you have to focus very hard. Focusing hard makes you think about nothing else but the prawning session and not about work. Raymond had 101% of his attention totally devoted when he was prawning. When I tried to ask him questions, he doesn’t respond because he was really focusing very hard. Jack even tried to call him while he was BBQ-ing the prawn at the BBQ pit, but Raymond didn’t repond either. Tsk tsk tsk. Make a guess when was the only time Raymond responded. It was when he heard the magic word – NASI LEMAK!

 

I want to faint already. For Raymond, it is really “Food makes the world goes round”. Hahahahaha!! Anyway, I’ll share on Jack and Grace’s wedding pictures when I manage to lay my hands on them. Right now there’s only Kash & Charlotte on my laptop while the rest are with Raymond. 😀

 

Enjoy!

 

Yup, you guessed it! 16 January 2009 was their wedding day. 🙂

 

 

 

Preparing for “GATE” crashing!

 

 

This is Charlotte. 🙂

 

 

 

This is Kash, demonstrating a bad example of gate crashing. YOU DON’T CLIMB OVER THE GATE! O_O”!

 

 

Luckily there’s another “gate”!

 

Little rabbits. Hahaha~

 

 

 

 

Kash was holding a piece of dubious looking cracker.

 

Very potent liquid.

 

 

Hehehe! I’m very thirstttty! 😀

 

*slurp and glurp and slurp and glurp* But the brother on the extreme right seemed to be terrified of the drink…

 

O_O”!! I can’t believe it’s so refreshing! YUM YUM! Muwahahahahahaha! So funny!

 

 

Raymond told me when the brothers were blowing up the balloons, the balloons kept bursting in their faces and hurt quite a bit. I guess that’s why Kash looked a little scared here. Hehehe. Punishment for climbing over the gate. =p
 

Picture too small cannot see the words clearly. Every ballon has an alphabet written on it. Put together, it forms the name C-H-A-R-L-O-T-T-E.

 

Climb some more!! =_=”

 

I guess he’s drawing a portrait of Charlotte. =_=”

 

Shouldn’t have made him draw. Wahahahahaha. But it’s cute! 🙂

 

Look how happy Charlotte is!

 

 

 

I like this one! Bad boy! Next time if I catch you climb on any other things again I will spank your backside!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess it’s really hard not to carry the phone around. Seen quite a few already..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baaaaaasket! Kekeke.

 

 

 

 

Before marching in! I wonder why Kash stuck his tongue out, and how did Raymond managed to catch it on camera!!

 

Weeeeeeee!

 

Charlotte’s gown is really pretty, and she can really bring out the colour of the dress. Maybe because she’s tall? 🙂

 

 

I like this one too! No idea why, but feels like some comedy gang triad (斧头帮) scene from Stephen Chow’s movie flick – Kungfu Hustle. Wahahahahaha!

 

 

I like this one as well. I guess it is a normal reaction for us to open our mouth when we’re feeding others. Very cute. 🙂

 

Changing into second outfit.

 

 

Checking out the attire.

 

Secretly holding hands!!

 

How did Raymond managed to catch this on camera too??

 

Charlotte’s red color gown is also very, very nice.

 

I had a good laugh going through this part because Kash has very funny expressions! Seems like it’s hard to uncork the bottle of champagne cos he tried for quite some time on pictures. Hehehe.

 

Finally!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, the evil friends and evil brothers made Kash drank some liquor.

 

No choice, he had to drink. He glurped them down at one go, and everyone was staring in disbelief.

 

Kekekeke. He must have had a hard time pretending to be fine after that. =p

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I noticed friends will always share some “secrets” with the groom during weddings. But I never got to know what’s the secret they were sharing.

 

Then, they’ll end up laughing like this! Must be something “evil”…  Muwahahahaha~

 

Alright! That’s a whole lot of photos at one go! Gotta go! 😀
