And so, this time around, the much awaited and planned-DINNER had come and gone. The event, which was a blast for me, could have been more perfect if it had not rained on that much-awaited time!!!! DARN TIMING FOR THE WEATHER!!!! If it hadn’t rain, the candles on the table + pot pourri + candles surrounding the pool would have created the EXACT atmosphere that we planned. But darn the weather, it rained at the time we were supposed to lay the table clothes and light up the candles. And so, it ruined the atmosphere. It was soaking night but thankfully after the VVI COUPLE arrived, the rain put a stop. And as the guests started taking food, we (with a help of my close friends and help from cousins) started setting the guests table ASAP. I was sweating like a pig! But yet, I managed to do my tasks. And yeah, never forget that I accidentally stepped into the drain coz of the bad lighting there. Actually, I shouldn’t blame the lighting. The lighting plays the part in creating the atmosphere we wanted. I think it shouldn’t have been the rain to fault. Why did it rain at that timing? Why wasn’t it earlier or even right after the guests leave?? Or how come it just didn’t rain the day before and leave us a peaceful night during the dinner?? Haih!!! Why? Why? Why? Even till now, I wished things were different on that day. Then, we would have held a successful glamorous dinner after all. Exactly like what the invitation said. But it’s done. There’s no turning point. Like Poh Mei says, things happen for a reason. It’s a lame excuse or even a lame “comforting words” but there can be a point!!!
But despite what happened, I enjoyed myself during that night. That’s because we planned the night and it did turn out fine (pardon the rain)!!! The “ kolam” was beautiful!!! The music was exotic (pardon the people who can’t enjoy the music)!!! My sister was extremely pretty and so was my **Ahem** charming bro-in-law, he was as handsome as Keanu Reeves…. hihihi!!! I met more people!! And importantly, my friends were there too_ Poh Mei, Sook Yee, Sean (too bad, Mano n Yee Teng n few more couldn’t make it)!!!
So, mistakes I regret the most…
1) it shouldn’t have rained
2) I should have arranged someone to do video coverage. I have the gadget but I just didn’t get to do the job myself. Video shooting is what we are lacking right now!!!
3) It shouldn’t have rained
4) I should have pushed my sis n my bro-in-law into the pool (I don’t really regret not doing this but it’s a thought)
5) There should be a better planning for the worse to come (let’s say, the rain)
6) Last but not least, it shouldn’t have RAINED!!!!!
Sooooo…. anybody need my help to plan a wedding??? Hire me :D!!! Let’s say if interior design makes me bored, I’ll turn into a wedding planner…hihihi!!! That’ll be fun and challenging too!!!
P/s: I’m just kidding about planning the wedding, ok? But I don’t mind decorating the house for you…. :P
Anyhow, what I can’t quite believe is that the wedding n dinner n CNY just happened too fast. I still remember that I was waiting eagerly for the day to end last Friday. I was at work, waiting for 4.30 pm. So the time came, I went back home, relatives started coming to my house, did some ceremony on my sister, didn’t sleep the night, flew to Penang, try fitting in there, met more people, my sis n bro-in-law tied the knot, I was bored n moody, went back to the rest house, enjoyed the fireworks at midnight, flew back to KLIA, uncle came n pick us up, my cousin sis n bro left the house, I slept alone in the night, next morning the newly weds came back home, I went out with sean n sook yee n collected ang pows, the next day started preparing for the dinner night, went to IKEA to buy stuffs for my sisters new home, the next day( the dinner day) went to the venue and started putting the “kolam” and prepared the table arrangements, then it rained, then night took place, I slept alone again, the next day the newly weds came back home again, then we went to Batu Caves to look at the “tallest LORD statue in the world”. And taa daa…it’s Sunday…and tomorrow life gets back on the normal track…on the tiring n boring track!!!! Projects, classes and practical training!!! I think I’ve enjoyed to the max during this one-week break. And so, life has to be back on track tomorrow. Goodbye, entertainment and family and fun!!! I shall miss you….
But there’s still one more event to go…. The day my sister and her spouse shift to a new home. That shall not be a long to wait. Should be happening any time soon. So till then….
P/s: I have lots of photo coverage. I shall be posting them soon…
