key events: skinny's wedding!!
date: 22nd Feb 2009
Time: Full Day Event
well skinny's my... how to say... aunt or cousin?? ok heres the case. RIGHTFULLY, she's my aunt, my mum's cousin... BUT. she's 33!! thats like... more like my cousin rite?!! well.. thats what happens when you have big families.. like peini ( my real cousin) who's 23 this year and jeremy ( also my real cousin) who's about 28 this year.. and then i have uncles like martin who's 27 this year.. ansen who's less than 30?? gosh.. wierd wierd... ok i prefer to address them as cousins.. haha.. and so do they.. it only SOUNDS RIGHT XD
anyway uncle wei toon ( above) aka cartoon was the super uber LUCKY man who is our latest addition to the family.. haha.. perhaps the reason why i can call him uncle with ease is because i haven't been brought up calling him 'korkor' or something.. so yeap..
it was a great event, starting from morning.. haha. went over to yin's place.. 2nd bro wasn't around because of sitest :( and 3rd bro went for tuition.. so i was there with peini.. and of course we started taking pictures.. haha
thats us with prince, the household dog and so called page boy aka dooropener for the morning event.. i missed the part where he opened the door!! must have been so cute larr.. anyway he had a tie on, though missing in the above pictures.. well.. erm.. not really a fan of dog clothes so yea.. haha.
me and peini ( cousin)
the groom came on time.. but we were not ready, so we asked them to go another round around the neighbourhood. =.= and then when we were finally ready, they were LOST in the neighbourhood =xxx haha.. hilarious.. but eventually they managed to find their way..
susanne (yin's sister) was terrible!! made cartoon and his best men do lots of funny stuff.. and kept rejecting the angbao.. poor aunty jenny ( actually grandaunty. =x) was so anxious to get her daughter married that she kept scolding susanne.. hahaa.. such a funny scene.. in the end the best men had to put on some disposable underwear, sing songs and cartoon had to do push ups while promising 5 things.. well.. one of them was GOING TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY. gosh.. for a non believer to say this, he must really love her.. haha. bless him.
anyway it procceeded.. i guess i don't really have to go into such details..
about 1 we left for the church, trinity methodist at serangoon.. there was some minor screw ups on the caterer's side.. but still we got those sorted out.. talked with ansen and martin at the basement while awaiting the pastor's car... in the end the wedding was almost starting and we decided not to wait any longer.. thank goodness he turned up right on the spot. young man... well..
the flower girls and page boys were sooooooo cute!! haha.. the first girl was so afraid.. and she just looked totally adorable walking down that aisle with her younger bro.. didn't manage to get any pics though.. the second girl, slightly older, was also scared.. then came my cousins jarrell and jannell... haha.. and im so proud of them because they were so confident.. but i guess since they have been brought up in SUCH A FAMILY its hard not to.. haha..
anyway the church wedding:
yeap.. after the rather wierd vows.. which included something about flesh and blood and nothing about lawful husband and wife.. =.=
oh and i found this scene TOTALLY CLASSIC!
see the page boy and flower girl in the background?? hahaha.. they must have really been totally shag out.. lol.
anyway it was a beautiful wedding dress.. but it was too long!! gosh!! yin was like trying to pull it up a little when whe was walking down the aisle.. haha.. we were all laughing.. but i guess thats the way our family is.... her face was also like.. half laughing half omg kind.. lol..
then came dinner.. omgomgomg.. it was at sentosa cove can!!! like.. wa.. everything else normal but suddenly dinner so lavish..
by the sea.. woots...
dinner was really good.. especially the soup.. not the traditional shark fin.. but BABY ABALONE WITH BLACK CRAB AND FISH MAW!!
totally the best ive ever tasted.. but i heard just the soup alone is 100 bucks per pax. =.= hate to think how much the whole dinner will cost. =x
anyway random pics:
the twins and their brother ( my cousins):
and the after party ( by my family's side of course):
battle of the sexes in which side can yum seng the loudest.. hahaha.. at least cartoon was hyped enough to join in the craziness of our family.. hahaa.
and the finale kiss
cannot break till we finish our yum seng.. haha.. i think they were drooling by the end.. =x opps.. hahaha.
all in all, it was fun to see so many relatives around and learn of what they are doing now.. uncle rick's son is seriously soooooo cute la! haha.. chubby cheeks but very slim and sharp features like uncle rick.. then there was yinwei's second son.. who is shy to cry in front of others though he is only 9 months old.. haha.. can see the face when he tries not to cry.. undescribably cute..
uncle dick's new girlfriend ( china lady) is seriously siao la.. totally high.. heard she drank 7 glasses of red wine.. and went around shrieking and laughing and hugging everyone.. =.= pissed my mum and grandma.. hahaha. heard they are getting married at the end of the year =x hate to visualise that..
uncle mick's new girlfriend.. urmm.. how to put it.. he is 40.. and the girlfriend is what.. 18??!! like.. wth.. heard she's a philipino and is currently in sg studying on mick's sponsership.. ah well.. he says he's serious about her.. see where that goes.. he has a son too with his first wife.. BTW. lol.
anyway im sooooo proud of my family.. its like when susanne and rick went upstage to give their well wishing speech.. it totally trashed those from weitoon's side lar.. plus our super hyped family's support.. we seriously totally owned them.. haha.
as auntie loo lin said, the cousins have something in common: they are loud, beautiful and confident.. haha.. so true not only of them but of so many of us in the family..
weitoon's side is really.. urm.. how to say.. not sporting?? well.. lets just put it this way... im glad its cartoon getting married to yin than his other stoned brothers..
in her talk, susanne questioned whats so special about yin and toon.. i guess we all know how yin's special since she's practically the livewire in the family ( as rick said) plus she's sooo confident, enthusiastic and everything else.. but one thing i sincerely feel about toon that susanne did not say is that he is really what a family man should be. regardless of his terrible fashion sense and nerdy look.. he is someone whom.. just one look at, you know he can be trusted to be a solid platform and a loving husband to support a family.. so i guess thats how special he is.. because regardless of how overpowering and confident suyin looks, the both of them just looks so right together..
hence here i shall wish them a blessed life together, everlasting love for each other.. and
cartoon, welcome to the family.
ha. :)
