Anyway, rewind to a few days ago, I got a wedding invitation. A wedding invitation to ME!! I never got a wedding invitation before.
And look!! It has my name on it!
Miss Denise.
Im not a jakun or anything la.. But then, usually, i do get wedding invitations. Just that, It had never occurred to me that my own name is on it. Usually it will be Mr & Mrs Tan and Family written on it. So yeah, you might be wondering whose wedding was it. It was my biology teacher's wedding. She's getting married! ok..lets fast forward to Sunday.Today, I woke up at 10. My room was very cooling until i don't feel like waking up... But then, I MUST! You see, I have one problem when i was dressing up. I don't know what to wear. O.O So, with all the clothes i have, i took ALLLL of them out from my cupboard.
Pants, Jeans, Skirt, T-shirt, Turtle Neck, Blouse, Jacket, Sleeveless shirt, dress etc.
Hmm.... I caould say i changed my outfit 9 times. Skirt, sleeveless shirt, dress and jacket are crossed out on my list since i was going for a malay wedding and my school teachers will be there. Usually, i would wear skirt or dress. Finally, I picked up a pair of my Levi's Jeans and a B.U.M shirt, my Braun Buffel handbag which i love the most, and a pair of heels.
My dad fetch us(Vinaya, Khai Wen and I) there. We got lost for a while. Since i sucked at reading maps. So, it is proven that girls/ladies/women can't read maps. That is according to Allan+Barbara Pease books. XD But, another reason we got lost is.. THERE ARE LOTS OF election FLAGS AND BANNERS HANGING IN THE AIR, PLASTERED ON SIGNBOARDS, ROADSIDES, AND CARS+MOTORBIKES. Its soooo distracting!! When we reached, the place was empty. O.O omg... are we at the right place???!!? Then, we saw one of our school teacher parking his car nearby.. so we followed him, and phew... what a relief.. we're at the right place.
We were one of those early people who reached that place. When we reached the ballroom, it was quite empty. wow..
A few people came to us and asked us to start eating... "Marilah.. makan,makan", said one of the ladies. We were like.. "okok, sekejap." Then, came another lady telling us the same thing. Well, its kinda awkward to eat when there no one there. Then, one of our teacher came to us and asked us to eat. omg.... well, right after that, we couldn't help it when ppl keep telling us to eat, we went to take our plates, and EAT! Maybe.... They saw us, a bunch of skinny sticks came in, and they felt sorry for us and asked us to eat and eat and eat more...(im just joking abt this statement. I know its courtesy)" Half way eating, some ppl came to our table and asked us to eat some more... *smacks my head* and then he left without saying hi or bye or congratulate the bride and groom. o.O?? Three of us was like... "uhhhh... did he just came here to eat??" its kinda rude to do so.
Of all the weddings I've been to, Malay wedding are the simplest wedding I've ever been to. You can sit where ever you want, take your own food and can actually leave anytime you want. Unlike Chinese weddings, you are assigned to certain tables where sometimes, you're forced to sit people you don't even know, having a boring conversation(most of the time), and end up having a boring atmosphere and a boring time at the wedding. Then, you have to wait for everyone to arrive and to be seated and then.... the wedding dinner will start. then, you have to wait for the ceremony to finish where it usually ends at 11pm and then only you get to go home. haih... So far, I've never been to a Indian and a Punjabi wedding.
So, three of use ate there. Soon, more teachers arrived, our friends arrived and more guests arrived... By 1pm, the ballroom was packed with people. All of us witnessed the "Majlis Persandingan" It was very simple.
And not to forget, we got them some presents. Im not telling you whats in it. XD
Yeap, we got then 2 presents. One for the bride and the other one for the groom. They can have either one of it. PS : dont mind what we wrote on the sides. XD
To Vi: The is the best handwriting of yours I've ever seen in my whole entire life studying with you. Congrats on the good handwriting. *evil laughs*
Hmmm... I was wondering... Is it appropriate to wear black to a malay wedding? Coz, ususally chinese and indian weddings, black are not allowed. But, i like my shirt. it was nice. Well, while i was there, i did a survey on the guests. It turns out, its OK to wear black for a Malay wedding. However, its still not good to wear black for any kinds of wedding. So, I shall not wear black for any wedding.
My dad was supposed to pick us up at 2.30 but he came at 3.15pm. The others went home earlier and left the 4 of us, Kok Siang, Khai wen, Vinaya and myself. We had nothing to do, so we decided to kacau our teacher. muahahaha... She suggested us to sit on the pelamin/ the stage.
A few other photographers took our picture. We were not making fun of it. Its actually a once in a lifetime experience. You dont get to do this everyday right?? Ofcourse lah... you dont get married everyday. What Im saying is sitting on that thing. Its my first time sitting on the malay "pelamin" or whetever you call it. However, the seats does not belong to us, we just borred it for a while.
Vinaya was making fun of me when I say I wanted those eggs. >.<
Happy Wedding Day To The Newly Weds,
to our Biology teacher & her Spouse !!!
