This entire month has been a busy one for us. We've been occupied with our house reno matters, shopping for furnitures & electrical appliances, preparing for our own wedding photoshoot and also attending wedding dinners! It's been the busiest of our busy period. My brother's wedding was held in KL in mid Jan. Qi's wedding was two days later. Marcus and Jamaica's wedding was on the immediate weekend. Like the whole world is suddenly getting married! :D Wah, happy for all the newly weds!
I'm going to talk abit about my brother's wedding here because I've got some photos to share and leave the rest for later.
Sally and I flew in to KL two days prior to my brother's wedding on a Friday morning. We took our usual Jetstar and the flight was ... alright, not too bad :P Though we did come across a lady sitting beside me whom we assume was on her first flying experience. She was looking out the window excitedly and told me to help her take a picture even when the plane was still on the ground.. Well, I thought people usually prefer some nice little clouds as background? LOL and she was also anxiously hugging onto her handbag though a stewardess politely and repeatedly told her to put it under the front seat during take off :P aiseh. relax la. Then half way during our journey, she ordered coffee but couldn't finish it because the plane was going to land soon! hahaha :P she thought she could enjoy a nice cup of coffee but the journey was too short, she had to keep the tray and hold on to the cup until the plane landed :D LOL! Anyway...

So we reached about 230pm due to some delay and Fuon picked us up at the airport. It was like a 45mins drive before we reached Chiang's home. My parents were already there a week earlier. My elder bro, erm.. well, a whole month earlier. LOL. Chiang was running in and out buying and preparing stuffs for his gate crash the next day.
The groom's car
Two bears stuck at the front :D
Just married!
We rested for a while before helping to set up tables for food catering.
All lined up nicely!
Food, food, food!
Tireeeeeeed :P
Here, have a drink
Wahaha! Wash it! Wash it!
The next morning when we woke up, Chiang's 'xiong di' for the gatecrash session already arrived. Two of them happened to be my college classmates, Joo and Eugene.

Uhh.. Here we go!
While they went out to fetch the bride, the rest of us stayed back to do a second round of table setup for food catering and to hang the firecrackers :D Damn, we don't get to play firecrackers in Singapore :( Damn loud and powerful stuffs. Ok so, about two hours later, the gatecrash team came back all 1 piece. My elder bro lighted the firecrackers with a lighter because for some reasons, the joss stick didn't work. Whoops :P
Firecrackers! Red, loud and fun!
Sally and I helped with the tea ceremony for Chiang and Irene to serve our many relatives, oh and I got served too :P Haven't got the picture from him yet! Hehe!

The tea set :D
Everyone's doing this :D
Aiya, my elder bro didn't rotate the photos!
We had lunch after that and cleaned up the place. By the time we're done, it was almost around 4pm. So we rested for an hour or so before quickly jumping onto the couch for a few rounds of Need for Speed. That game is quite addictive and Sally tried it out too. She managed to finish the races so it's quite an achievement. I was half expecting her to quit abruptly :P Jia you, Sally! :D Haha! But I believe using a racing steering wheel would be a better controller for her. I guess non-gamers need some time to get used to ps3 controllers.
For dinner, I insisted we have KFC on top of the leftovers from lunch :P Everyone was like Huh? What? Really? .. You know lah, wanna eat but pretend to be health conscious :P We went ahead with KFC and everyone enjoyed it. Ohh, and those little KFC egg tarts are surprisingly quite good!
Some of our dishes :D
KFC egg tarts. Surprisingly good!
Really sinful stuffs..
But who cares? :P
Everyone's enjoying their meal
Eating all these food didn't stop us from going out for more. There was a night market nearby so Chiang, Irene, Big Bro (hm, how to address him in this blog huh), Fuon, Sally and I went out to explore. So when it comes to night market there's always the urge to try some food there :P
I can see the night market!
Bought a cold drink :D
And some little pancakes
with different flavour
Random people on the streets
Sally trying out some asam laksa
On Sunday morning, it was pretty relaxing. While Chiang and Irene were preparing some guest list stuffs, we were practically only playing ps3 games waiting for the wedding dinner :P We soon got bored and decided to go have tea break at PappaRich. Niceeee..
Steamed bread with peanut butter
PappaRich's white coffee is good
It's official. We're always hungry
Slurp!
freaker and Sally
About 530pm, we got ready to go to the dinner but not without taking some photos first :D We seldom dress up so everyone's excited and wanna have a picture taken :P
Mom and dad
It's us again :D
Everyone together now!
Overall the dinner was not too bad and I must say I'd give credit to the MC. He acts and talks like a lady, wears bling bling outfit and a pair of funky glasses, but he's a real funny guy. Very entertaining indeed. Even my parents and grandma were so amused by his jokes. He even speaks and sings fluently in multiple dialects. At times I felt like I'm attending one of those Taiwanese variety shows like Power Sunday or something. Haha.

First dish came! I always forgot
to take photo of the rest :P
Waiting for more food!
Anyway, the following morning, it's time to say goodbye. Everyone woke up earlier to send us off. Kinda miss them because family gatherings like this are so hard to come by :( Sally and I took a cab to KLIA for our flight back to Singapore. So I'll be seeing my parents and Chiang again during Chinese New Year (yey! nice long break) and my elder bro during my wedding in May. Yep! My turn will be soon!

Ok that's all gotta rest. Will find time to blog again soon. Too many things to do and so little time. And I have so many things to talk about. Our wedding photoshoot, our house, etc. And yes, I'll find time!
I'm going to talk abit about my brother's wedding here because I've got some photos to share and leave the rest for later.
