clouds and rainbows: Bridesmaids

I never used to like bridesmaids. In my impression, bridesmaids are bitchy ladies who haggle and bargain for ang baos during gatecrashing, sit at the hotel banquet reception like vases chit-chatting away. Now, having gone through a real-life experience of being a bridesmaid, I truly understand how tiring it is to be the bride's maids. Especially with a church wedding packed in the afternoon, there's totally no time and space for rest. And the wedding day was just nice on the third day of my month-end closing. It was my first month-end on my own as my superior has left the company. You can imagine how stressed I was.
It's ok, we bridesmaids will do everything just for the bride's bliss and happiness.
要幸福哦, 炜炜!

Wei wei's hen's night was few wks before her actual day.

Due to restrictions on booze and clubbing, we had a very clean and tame hen's day.

I like it that way!

It's a very warm gathering with the gals before Miss becomes Missus.

We had a hard time choosing a hotel which is cheap and good yet can accomodate 6 of us in a room. Finally, we settled on boutique hotel, Naumi Hotel!

It was a great choice!

They have a rainshower and bathtub!

The tv set can be turned around to either face the bedroom or living room.

Cool max!

That's the mini kitchen cum study area

Cosy little red chair

Free Nespresso coffee..

Duper cool!

3 lil lazy pigs!

So cute!

After few hours of Taboo, Wei wei and Mama reached then we headed out for dinner!

@ Skinny Pizza

Hi my dear Joan Joan

Hi Mrs Ting (then Misss Tan)

Then it's karaoke time!

Mama introduced us to this super cheap place for karaoke

I think it was $20 for this room for 3 hrs?

Damn cheap right?!

But in order to reach this room, we had to walk past those billard tables with all those ah bengs and tiko peks oogling like they've never seen gals before.

Finally 3rd of Sep arrived..

These were the ingredients that Joc and mama bought before the day.

Very mild and healthy food

Bride-to-be preparing...

Ta-dah! Hi pretty!

So gate-crashing starts..

Here's the main highlight:

Fu Long and groomservants dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies.

We enjoyed it! haha

They rented a very vintage beetle as their wedding car!

At the church..

Mama and I were in-charge of taking attendance and also making sure names are written on angbaos.

With 300 over guests, I can tell you two bridesmaids is not enough.

The queue was snaking long and some of them just went up without attendance marking/angbao.

Some of them when asked if they had written their names on the angbao, they said: "I think so"

Yes means yes, you mean you dont even know if you've written you name on it?

Obviously they didn't write lah!

After that we realised why they said that.. Bcos they didn't want the bride and groom to know who gave that angbao (maybe bcos they didn't put any money inside?)

LOL.. anyway I'm just sharing my experience...
