The plan is to go very early to my dearest cousin's wedding. Remember my atm card that need replacement? Being Saturday and a day after a holiday, need I say what I was occupied with the whole morning?
My cousins, yes two of them both have their wedding held on the same day, only thing was, it's at different venues. We went to the one at Fort Canning Park as he is my uncle's first son, and my uncle, being my mother's baby brother here in Singapore, would have an impact on my "mother's honour" if I never show up early.
I love meeting my "long lost" relatives from Malacca and even here in Singapore. We used to frequent there when my grandmother was still living. My other cousins, Emma, Nana and my sister - their laughters coloured the atmosphere. The setting of the wedding was, like another wedding. I was occupied with other stuff to take pictures anyway. Dyna, Tankiu, Darlingz, Sofea and some other kids were just being themselves - kids. What I like most about the wedding is not the buffet spread, not the bride - despite her lovely dress, not the whole wedding set-up, not the annoying emcee and his antics - bright disco, laser lightings; yucks!, definitely not the bride's stuck-up family, BUT the candid moments we had at our private dining table, the little gossips, the private jokes we had...ah that's quite gay. Literally.
The wedding suppose to end at 2000hrs; we left earlier for my second cousin's wedding at Bukit Batok. We stopped by IMM and shop a little. My dearest hubby wanted to shop for his shirt to wear for his department dinner at Orchard Hotel on New Year's Eve - what a way to spend New Year's eve. I have my plans though.
Before we leave IMM, we decided to have our dinner at Long John Silver;Ili and Nylie were protesting. They wanted to go to MacDonald's but Dyna didnt want to. Dyna being a fussy eater that she is, would not go for anything at fastfood restaurants. Even at Long John Silver, she only had cream of chowder and potatoes.
It was close to end of the night, when we reach Bukit Batok. Sat there for awhile,excuse ourselves early and home sweet home.
The house was a mess! At this point, I miss having a helper. Good nite.
The 3 things that made me smile :
1. our gossip corner at Fort Canning Park
2. Ghaffar and Udin (my no longer so little cousins from Malacca)
3. the thought of a family portrait
