1st Wedding of 2007

on sunday...01/21/07, i attended my first wedding of 2007... it's a very simple wedding dinner as the couple already got married in December last year in taiwan....i was pretty excited as both both the bride and bridegroom are from my company..or rather the bride used to be from the same company..so it's sort of like a department outing? also..i really really really really really really really really like the bride a lot...she's one of the nicest people in my company...haha! anyway, the invitation card is really nice...see:



and so the wedding is also at somewhere very chinese...Grand Shanghai restaurant at King's center...it was located just right next to zouk..and many of us lamented on why was the dinner on a sunday night and not on a saturday night..then after food and free drinks..we could all proceed to zouk for partying..haha!

well...as the venue is something very chinese...the bridegroom wanted us to go in formal attire or even chinese costume...and so being the nice and sporting one..i actually went to chinatown to get a cheongsam..and it's quite cheap..40 bucks...i can wear for new year as well...hahahaha! see, dont i look pretty? hahaha

basically, the food is pretty nice...and something different about this restaurant is that it serves its dishes individually..so we dont really have to "snatch" our food..hahaha! also, there's free flow of white wine, red wine, beer, brandy, soft drinks and chinese tea..but just too bad, i was driving..i didnt drink much..*sighz* initially, another colleague was supposed to drive..but at 6pm, he called and said..." hannah, sorry..my brother wants to use the car and then we sort of quarrel..can you drive?" well..can i say no? hahahahahaha...

actually, the dinner was more like a taking pictures session for me..because i was wearing what i was wearing...one can say i'm pretty popular...many people wanna take pictures with me..hahaha...here are a few:

hee hee..finally a picture of the bride and groom...dont they look damn happy together??? actually i didnt have much chance to take a picture with the bride using my camera..but anyhow, their cameras took several pictures of us..so hopefully, i look good and pretty..hee hee!

at the finale...the bridegroom's mum actually went up to the stage and sang for us..she sand 夜来香 ...which was pretty good..and then the bridegroom "saboed" me and another colleague to go up to the stage and sing 月亮代表我的心... and we were pretty brave and sporting to actually did that song together..without any lyrics..but of course the bridegroom was mouthing to us the lyrics in front of us down by the stage...hahaha!

well, i must say it's a very enjoyable and happy night for all of us...am now looking forward to the next wedding...cannot remember when though..hahaha! one of my colleague told me that he alawys feel like getting married after attending weddings...funnily, i dont have that feelings...in fact i never had that feeling..hahaha! do you?
