Data About Revealing Your Life: November 2009

Stale News..

Originally, the title was supposed to be Fresh Content buuut via the magic of the Internet, a Math135 assignment and Rita, I seemed to have lost a whole week of my life. If any of you find be sure to send it back ah. To make up for this rancid content I will for one, start writing about said event. I'll even post potentially embarrassing pics! Then again..maybe not. I'll save that for when someone blackmails me.

Well anyway, I'm sure that by now, you've already guessed that something big must've happened to finally get me off my lazy unfat arse and blog about it. And you're right. Go get yourself a cookie.

You see, we had a wedding here last week and boy was it a grand one. It wasn't a church wedding, it was a Chinese one so yea we did the whole shebang. Tea serving ceremonies, brides family bribing, dowry and what not. Man it was certainly a hectic day. And if you could only see us in the weeks just before the 8th, the amount of effort we all put in into setting everything up for the big day was just incredible. Double happiness and wedding decorations were going up all over the place. Caterers were booked. Floors were swept, mopped, vacuumed, then swept again. A marquee was set-up. Shirts were ironed. Dresses were being picked. Geoffrey's jacket was being bought from the local Salvo. The womenfolk's hair were being styled/done up. The menfolk's...erm...armpits were deodorised?

The point is, WE WORKED OUR BUTTS OFF.

But it was worth it for the big day turned out pretty sweet. Well, at this point I'd say it's impossible for me to describe the whole wedding in words. Mainly because I'm not a very good writer. So.....PHOTODUMP INBOUND! Oh and in case you ladies are worried, please, don't fret, it's my uncles wedding not mine ;P . I gotta say tho, I rock a suit pretty darn good if you ask me

Earliest to rise. 7 am. Delivering up the roast pig.

Oh look who's hogging the spotlight. =.= Don't they look alike though. lol.

There we go. All suit action. Except for that rose among us thorns. Currently delivering the tray/dowries to bride's house.

Looking pretty excited there... However...sepet.

Don't you just hate people who camwhore right when there's a wedding taking place!

This is Uncle's ride. He used it to get to Aunt's place but it lol broke down afterwards. Fortunately he had a better ride awaiting.

GOH BROS here. How may we be of service?

That's the bridal chariot by the way and no, we didn't drive it. Rental guy didn't let us. Something about kids, crashing and expensive car or whatever.

Time skip!

Fast forward couple of hours. In that time we: did the tea ceremony, ate etc.

Now proceeding to wedding reception/dinner. Starting time: 4pm.

But first, you must be wondering. "Where are the newlyweds? It's their wedding but I've only seen your ugly mug!" Well, it's my blog! Plus I don't really like photodumping in a blog. I'll use flickr for that.

Anyway, I present to you: Mr Allen and Mrs Diana Goh.

Here they are signing away their freedom or as some would like to call it - signing the register.

You probably can't tell from this photo but it was drizzling about an hour ago. Now it's freaking HOT! I was sweating like hell in my suit.

Downside = Sydney weather!! Upside = nice photos.

I also should point out that Uncle is wearing a penguin suit. I really like the penguin suit. Especially the tails. lol. He also had a cane and a top hat. Never did wear the hat though.

This is a rare shot of Mom & Dad together. (Due to cam shy Dad)

Ever wondered why I look so good? Now you know why.

Look! M&P allowed me to drink champagne! Geoffrey on the other hand isn't. Doesn't stop him from pulling that smug face of his though.

Guess who?

Currently the newlyweds are out for their photoshoot. If your knowledge of Sydney is top notch, you'd know by now that we're having dinner right under the Harbour Bridge. Very scenic. Romantic too. But then sydney weather X_x The newlyweds deserve a medal for withstanding that heat for nearly 2 hrs. The guests are all cheering for you guys!!..from within the cool air-conditioned dinning hall with flutes of champagne in hand of course.

Dinner finally arrives at 7pm. Menu sounded trés bien. Taste wise, alright lah. Though Geoffrey was served ice cream for his main course by mistake (^o^)

Unfortunately, they realised it and took it away. (._.)

Strangely enough, we didn't have ice cream for dessert. Instead we had something called an "Eton Mess".

Sounds classy, Eton classy. It also sounds messy, Eton messy?

Not many people liked it though. It's rather erm..different from ice cream.

And after that was speeches from the Parents, Best men, Bridesmaids, Newly-weds and finally dancing! Then we all went home.

But I had no idea Uncle was such a dancer. Man, he got moves! Apparently, he learned to breakdance from a book! Hat's off Uncle. I gotta take up lessons if I don't wanna embarrass myself at my own wedding.

Well, they say that a pictures worth a thousand words so I'd say there's a good amount of words in this post. If you're still not satisfied though, I've got tons of pics. Literally! I alone took 800+ pics. Add my Granduncle's, Grandaunt, the professional they hired...we could probably make a trilogy of feature-length slideshows with all these material.

So here's one last pic of my Sam Suk (read:third uncle) and Sam Sam (read:third auntie)
