Post Chinese New Year and wedding event

Came back from Europe and quickly went to Chinatown on the last weekend before CNY to soak the feeling of festival as well as get goodies home..

On the first day of CNY, after visiting, went to river Hongbao at marina bay to see the lantents, performance and read the forecast of the year for my zodiac..lol





On 16 feb, it's my best friends wedding..I have known both of them since 14 years old..classmate for 4 years with hui and 7 years with Karen (she copycat and followed me to same poly and same course..lol) 

Woke up at 5am on Sunday morning is a pain..wash up and reach hui house at 6am..after every brothers have arrived, it's time to fetch the bride at 6.35am



 After reaching the bride house, the sisters gang had all their weapons and games to torture the brothers before the groom get his bride..as you can see from the picture below, our legs are tied up together at the ground floor till 5th floor..the gate crash game is as usual.. Spicy, sweet, bitter and sour taste/ food to prove to the bride that the groom is willing to go through all these circumstances with her together..is Chinese tradition..lol..after the sisters were contented with our games result as well as the payout ($$), they willing to open the gate and let us in..





Subsequently, hui got his wife and now headed to his house and pray to the ancestor ..afterwhich, head up north to punngol end to snap pictures.. 


After the picture- taking, went back to groom house for tea ceremony..and then to the bride house for tea ceremony..which ends around 12.30pm..We then drove to orchard hotel where the banquet dinner will be held that night..check in at 1.30pm and have a rest till 4pm.. 
At 4.45pm, went up to the pool to prepare for the solemnization. 

The solemnization ends at 5.30pm and they prepared to change while the brothers and sisters are busying with reception desk..guests start to flow in at 6.30pm until 8pm when the actual dinner starts..as a co-ordinator, I was rushing and coordinating with mc, hotel manger, sound man.. And dinner starts at 8.15pm..phew...all the way till 11pm..
I'm so glad is all over and happy to see my friends getting married.. Congrats!! And have more babies..hehhehe
