2 becomes 1: Mr & Mrs Chen's wedding

So, the main reason for me to fly back to KL this time is to attend my friends' wedding - Chee Boon & Lee Ling wedding! So excited about their wedding and YM & Ahmad but too bad that I cannot attend that as well.

Started with hanging out at the bride's place the night before to finalised the games. Yes - this is my first time being 'chi mui' in a traditional Chinese wedding. There was supposed to be 8 of us but since YM is in Sydney there is only 7 of the 'chi mui' and 1 bridesmaid.

So, it was decided that the 'chi mui' have to arrive at 8am to finalise last minute preparation. Malaysians being Malaysians - some of them arrived late - except me & Grace :p But all is fine and we got our stuffs prepared and LL's mum and sister even prepared scrumptious breakfast for us! Me and Grace just came back from Australia - of course we eat a lot!

Before the groom and the 'heng dai' arrived, we took the opportunity to take some photos together. Just catching up and getting to know each other as well. The team is pink and we all wore the same dress and the 'heng dai' has a bear hanging from their shirts.

At 9:45am, the 'heng dai' and the groom arrived. The first thing that they have to do is to read a 'declaration' followed by signing. In short, they have to agree to participate in the games and also not to take any revenge of the chi mui that has created the games.

being served lunch at the groom's house - missing all the hakka food
The reception is at Summer Palace - the decoration is nice and simple. And had so much fun catching up with ex-schoolmates and of course enjoyed the food a lot of well. Suckling pig and nice dessert! And of course not to miss out the alcohol or should I say; the wine!!! 

friends from the past
the food: suckling pig
the food: steam fish
people getting high with drinking - challenging each other
