woah.. kinda an eventful day for me..
woke up damn early today and went to my aunt's place cuz her second son, my cousin, is getting married.
bad thing was even tho we woke up early, we din reach the place on time. by the time we got there, the traditional tea ceremony was over. well, u knw where the newly weds offer tea to the elders?
they usually go, "
ah ma, lim teh." (hokkien for: please have some tea, grandma)
and after tat, parents from both sides will give their respective offsprings some jewelleries and say that its the family heirloom and they must treasure it and they must pass it down to the next generation and bla bla ba...
and as a form of respect, newly weds also have to offer tea to other extended relatives, i.e uncles and aunties etc., in exchange for
ang baos.
well, we were late. and my parents, who are one of the many uncles and aunties of the bridegroom, missed the tea ceremony.
damn pai seh.. tea ceremony is considered quite an impt event in chinese wedding and my parents missed it cuz we were bloody late!
sigh.. but nevertheless, my parents still gave them the
ang bao la.. >_<
soon after we headed down to a hotel to witness their "holy matrimony".
apparently my cousin had converted into a christian, together with his wife.
finally came the food and after chowing i headed down to bishan for part 2 of the day: gathering with a grp of my sec sch frens.
its actually one of my fren, mr lim "handsome" fuxiang's bdae.
woah this guy has come a long way since sec sch days.. from a chubby, botak, sec one npcc recruit (yeah, one of my loggerheads) who was my partner during lower sec science lab lessons, to a fit and hunky part time model today.
blooody hell, wadever happened to me man... blame the hormones... :|
anyway, bunch of us met up at bishan Junction 8 (J8) and had dinner at thai express. food there was ok la..maybe i ordered the wrong food cuz it tasted absolutely bland.. or maybe i wasnt really hungry cuz already had my fill at the wedding ceremony earlier.
but the best part was the cake. a self-baked triple layered chocolate cheesecake!! kudoz to
shingyee the chef!
it was heavenly man..
imagine having brownies with extra fudge, topped with a generous layer of cheese and complete with strawberry toppings..
sounds sinful but its
ze perfect taste!
shingyee u better dun stop baking!! haha..
so after chomping down the cake, we took a little walk ard the new J8 b4 deciding to take a sip at a nearby kopitiam.
we sat there for close to 2 hours chit chatting abt everything under the sun, from driving lessons to movies to shingyee's cafe biz idea and even blogging!
conclusion: kopitiams are the perfect places for idle chats and tok cock sessions!!
yup.. left bishan close to 11pm and now back at home at the comfort of my room..
cant believe that i've actually typed so much..haha.. sorry arh ur eyes shud be quite strained at this pt of time..
but still, thnx for reading!!
tats all for now... bye!
