I'm back!

Been busy working on my school stuff the past week. Haven't had a break since the wedding. I promised last week that I would upload the pictures of my sister's wedding (haven't actually done that yet... too many pictures) but here are some of the pictures which I found really nice.

The family picture. A bit blurry, cause the camera was over-heating... dammit, stupid camera.
One of my sister's many costume changes. This was kinda candid. She loves this picture very much. I can add wedding photography to my growing list of 'expertise'. Muahaha...

Not only was I the (unofficial) photographer on that day, I had to carry out a lot of other chores. I was the wedding dais decoration consultant, the tent deco consultant, the wedding cake coordinator, the financial officer (to pay the photographers, DJ and the bakery at the end of the day), the DJ runner (to que him to play certain songs at the right moment and stuff), not too mention host to the guests (especially to my sister's friends), worst still, I even had to clear tables too!


The worst thing I had to do was to sleep on the wedding dais the night before the wedding (in case anything gets stolen from the tent)! I was a security guard for a night!

In a nutshell, I felt what a wedding planner would have felt on that day. My handphone was constantly ringing with calls from the wedding-coordinator people, my sister's friends and my brother-in-law's 'best man'. Sometimes I was on the phone with one hand and with the other hand I was snapping pictures away.


A shot of the interior of the tent. It was kinda grand looking with all the huge hanging chandeliers and really nice ceiling curtains. It was really impressive-looking. And the wedding dais was on this high stage at the front of the long tent. It was nicer as the skies grew darker (cause that's when the tent appears to glow).




My sister on the wedding dais, awaiting for her Prince Charming to arrive (with his entourage and kompang players, the ones in purple). But before he could be with my sister on the dais, my brother-in-law was stopped by at least five groups of family and friends for 'hangbao' money (something like paying 'toll' to get to the dais). Then there was a silat performance by my uncle and cousins performed before the groom (after a lot of 'extortion', he and his entourage finally managed to get through to the end of tent to where the dais was).




After a lot of picture taking and a costume change, it was time to cut the wedding cake (in this case, the wedding cup cakes). And we also had a surprise birthday cake for my mummy (her birthday is on the 21st too).





It sure was a wonderful wedding. And it was such a lovely day, (despite me running around) but for the two of them I'm sure it was their most unforgetable and cherished day...



I wish my sister and her hubby many more lovely, unforgetable and cherished days together.

May their love for each other grow stronger day by day, second by second, till the end of time.

And may I get to be an uncle soon.

"It was an accident so stupid. It was like running with a pencil." - Terri Irwin, wife of the late Steve Irwin who died from a jab of a stingray through his heart on 4th September.

"First, just if I might correct a misperception, I don't think we ever said - at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September the 11th and Saddam Hussein." - US President George W. Bush after claiming in a 2003 speech that there was indeed a direct link between Saddam and 911 to justify the Iraq invasion. The death toll of Americans in Irag has now surpassed the death toll of the 911 attacks.

"The only way we can win is to leave before the job is done." -George W. Bush, in one of his many not-so-intelligent speeches. But you have to give it to the man, he does keep his promises.

"It was inexcusable. I apologise. But I can't regret what I did because it would mean that he was right to say all that."

"I am a man and some words are harder to hear than actions. I would rather have taken a blow to the face than hear that." - both quoted from Zinedine Zidane, who was 'apologising' for his headbutt on Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the World Cup final.
