Week 2: Part (2) - ie Wedding Dinner

Day ?? (we lose track of days already) Wedding Dinner Day -1: Drama. No.no.you.don't.want.no.drama. Minor itch becomes an irritating one. Our wedding photo package includes 2 complimentary dinner dresses for YeeSin. Turns out that at the last minute the studio calls us, and and decides to take one of her dresses to a bridal show the next day!!! Needless to say. NOT HAPPY. So far, we've gotten them to commit to 5 larger selected prints. Then they call later, saying that they can't do the pre-scheduled makeup for YeeSin's mom because of the bridal show. YS's voice gets slightly more assertive on the phone. The studio says that everything is back on schedule now. Amazing what some volume enhancement on the cell will do. ;)

Wedding Day: Relieved that we are not doing the whole full-blown Chinese Wedding ++ ceremony, but only doing the Wedding Dinner only at the hotel. Hope that my CCF binge in the last few days doesn't prevent me from getting into my slacks! Makeup for YS and mom pass by without incident. The studio made a huge banner sized (3/4 lifesized) picture of the both of us to display at the waiting area. Will defintely look good on our front door back in KC! ;) Get back to the Evergreen Laurel hotel ballroom at 5:30pm (slightly behind schedule) for the Chinese Tea Ceremony. Lots of tea pouring and thank you's later, the main event starts in the ballroom.

The M/C makes the annoucement and we make our grand entrance. I've convinced the band to NOT play anything cheesy music, so they play "you & me" by Lifehouse instead. :) There's a huge spotlight by the red carpet shining directly into our faces (the kind that they shine on convicts in prison camps). We can't see past the lights, so we overshoot the carpet, and almost run into the light operator. We'll be forever remembered as the couple that overshot the red-carpet!!! Finally get to sit and the activities start... Food is served with great fanfare, and the band isn't too bad.... I speech from my dad, and myself later, we find ourselves YAM SENG'ing table by table, and not long after that its time to close down this party!! Finally get to sleep in our suite at 1am... tired.

Klang +1: Back in Klang already. Drove again for the first time after landing in Malaysia. Yeesin's job is to remind me to keep on the left lane at all times. I on the other hand try to drive as aggressively as I used to! Like Nick always says, same-same but different. Not a lot changed in Klang, but lots of stuff is different. My ACS Klang is still where it used to be, but a whole row of shoplots are now where we used to hang out after school! Will lepak for the next few days and go to Tioman on Wednesday.
