Finally exam is over. It was over on Fri, but this few days I haven't really had time to rest at all. It was quite a rush of events, all lined up since Fri.
Yesterday was the wedding of my cousin, Ah Tien and his wife, Meihui. Congratulations!!! It was quite a hectic day, lots of work to be done. I was writing my emcee script while I see my grandma and all the aunts rushing in and out to prepare the decor, and necessary things for the tea ceremony. After the tea ceremony and lots of photo taking, we got to rush over to OCC, to get ready for the 'big thing'- the wedding dinner at night. Again I was rushing my script, while the others stole a few moments of break in between,...then I was told that there was already a emcee script prepared for me...ok then...busy busy again, to memorise the script this time round and add some personal touch to it. Wedding dinner is the time when all the gals and women alike put in their best efforts to doll themselves up, me included (I got to go on stage...so ya...) After which, everyone start to take their position, doing the rehearsal and stuff, the brothers and sisters of the couple are all busy running in and out, doing this and that...
Finally the guests started to come in group by group. It's quite interesting to see the dressing of the guests and relatives. For an event like this, I think many spent quite a sum on their dress, make-up and hair styling...suddenly it seems like a mini beauty contest...haha. The dinner started quite late, as of most usual Chinese wedding dinners. Actually, the dinner past quite fast, maybe because I have got work to do, instead of sitting down and counting the dishes (as i would have done in other dinners). I think this would be very unforgettable for Andy and Meihui, not only for it being their big day, but also for the 2 major technical hiccups during the dinner...
It's been quite some time since there was a wedding in the family. Overall, I would say I enjoyed myself while being busy with something almost all the time and this is the first time that I emceed for a wedding dinner. It wasn't a very good job, but I believe given more practice, it would be better. To Andy and Meihui, once again, CONGRATULATION!!!
Well, I said a lot of events are lined up already, so this is one of them, the next is I am flying off tonight to Shanghai for holiday and will be back in 8 days time. That's why now I'm blogging in preparation of my exchange trip next year, trying to get use to it. Do wait for my updates on my shanghai trip.
