Wedding At Four Season

Tonight at wedding banquet of cousin YongLiang & his Indon bride Yulliana…


Nice catch, Cousin!


Whooh~ You sure looks like Chow Yun-Fat from this angle like Yuli said, Bro


YL: Make sure you enjoy yourself, Uncle
Uncle: Already did…


Cousins


Aaah… The post-10-course-dinner effect


‘Big Eyes’ Beauty…


... & the ‘High Forehead’ Beast :P

That’s another international marriage in the extended family! Initially, we had a cousin who married a Canadian. Then one married a Hawaiian. I married a Thai, and now YL married an Indon. Who’s next? 

Wedding Banquet By The Pool

October 2nd, 2005 -- Posted in weddings | 2 Comments »

Last night was C & K’s wedding banquet. The dinner partywas held in a less conventional manner, with open air beside a pool, which in my opinion really cool (I must stress this is more like a ‘dinner party’ instead of a usual ballroom banquet). With all the typical YAM-SENG crowd done away for the evening, I can feel the bride and groom more relaxed than they would in the case of a typical Chinese wedding banquet. That way, we get more ease to mingle around and share our joy for the wedded couple. Splendid choice, dudes!

The banquet was also a reunion (at least in my case) with a group of JC buddies (though not all were students of the JC) I used to hang out with and haven’t done so in a long while. It was even the first time for some of them to meet Sunsun. Finally they get to meet a year since our wedding (long story… don’t ask). We had a bottle of Chivas Regal at our table (at the courtesy of one of the guys) but I noticed the drinking pace has slowed down for some, just as it is for me. (We had our dues as most of us started drinking before 18). Is age really catching up now? Frown

Speaking of which, C surprised us with photographs that each of us took with him along the years of our friendship as thank-you gifts. Some of these photos showed how much some of us have changed along the years. Some even showed how dorky we used to look with hairstyles long out-dated and other showed images of us still in mentality we no longer remember. Photos can really bring great memories, C! And you are right… friendship as such are timeless and forever. We will remain as friends no matter how long or how we age.

Nevertheless, with good food, splendid wine, and great catching up with friends, it was one of the most enjoyable wedding banquet I’d attended. Without the crowd and stiff atmosphere, the dinner was more relaxed and cozy than most others. The only last bit to complete the experience will be the pics we took using J’s camera. (Will update when more pictures are available)
