Been pretty lazy to update. Wahahah! Oh well... here goes.
14th September 2008, Sunday Straight after RT, I went home to wash up and go zzz. Then woke up to meet up Yipeng, Ron and Zhangjing at Marina Square. They decided on Hotpot Culture for dinner. I remember going there with the GIP guys but was having ala carte. This time they were having buffer dinner. Actually the stuff are quite normal. There's even chocolate fondue and ice-cream for the dessert, so it wasn't that bad. However each person had to pay about $30. Quite ex man.
After dinner we hung around at the arcade cos there wasn't anything else we could do. It's been really several years since I've touched an arcade machine. Tried the House of the Dead 4 and found that it cheats people's money! Yipeng and I were "killed" quite quickly. We also tried another shooting game involving some safari and crazy creatures. Forgot the name of the game. So after hanging around the place, we left for home.
Had to meet up Siang Ann to return him some things. Also had to get a pink shirt for Huimin's ROM on Saturday. They wanted all the guys to wear pink. Therefore I went to meet up Siang Ann, then went to get a shirt from Robinson's at Raffles City. There wasn't much to choose from, therefore I got a Goldlion shirt. WTF it's the most expensive shirt I got so far. Luckily there's still discount. Then I hung around before I went to meet Charles at Paulaner. Had arranged to meet him up for a drink since he doesn't have to work the next day. His pal Marcus also joined us later cos they had initially wanted to meet up too. So the three of us chilled and chatted at Paulaner until they decided that it wasn't enough, so we ended up at ECP. We went to Mac for supper first before we went to one of the pubs there, called Beach Cabana. Then we had another jug of Tiger beer. Woah whole night of drinking session. Hung around until almost 3am before we went home.
19th September 2008, FridayWas jioed by cousin Eric to go to one of his church cell-group mate's house at Simei for BBQ. It was at Melville Park in Simei. There I saw many of those I met last year in one of their activities. They still recognize me luckily haha. Then we played some silly games and then had lotsa snacks and goodies. They then continued going to Siglap to the cheesecake cafe, but I didn't join them. Therefore I went back home instead.
20th September 2008, SaturdaySharon came to pick me up and together with Uncle, Shirley and Ahma, we then reached the Mandai Orchid Garden. We were very early and therefore we rehearsed a bit by trying out the bubble blowing. Peiyi and Beehive, Siying, Yaokun and Peyyong reached too. And together we hung around until all the guests arrived. We saw Albert and Huimin were given instructions by the wedding planner on how to carry out the ceremony, like how to walk down the stairs etc. Oh we saw an accident right outside the premises. A red car was smashed right in the front left corner by a taxi which was just turning out to the main road. We heard a loud crashing sound and fwah the red car was on its way to the repair shop. The license plate numbers didn't come out for the day's 4D. Sucks man!
Then all the guests arrived and therefore it's almost time too. It was around 2pm liao and the weather was freaking hot. We sweated like we just came out from the sauna. And I can confirm I don't even sweat that much when I was doing duty in reservist! Our shirts were soaking wet. Bobianz cos we were the "Bubble Party". All of us then positioned ourselves around the area and started blowing bubbles. Huimin wanted a bubble effect and therefore wanted us to blow bubbles throughout the ceremony. Kinda fun but it's really freaking hot. So there they were Albert and Huimin coming down the stairs with the two little kids in front of them. And they made their vows and thus confirmed themselves as husband and wife. Woo our first MKGian finally tied the knot.
So next up we all looked forward to the reception. At least we get to cool down in the shelter. After the lunch, we then went home. Oh we received cute little pots containing unbloomed flowers. That was meant as the gift for all guests. It's the Mandai Orchid Garden so what else would you expect? Kinda unique though.
Then it's the moment that all the girls have been waiting for. They gathered to catch the bouquet that Huimin will be throwing. Funny sia. Nobody wanted to catch the bouquet! Huimin threw the bouquet into the air and "THUD", it landed on the floor, with a few of the roses popping all over the place. Then the wedding planner got a bit (-_-)"', so she told the girls to catch it on the second try. "THUD!" Again nobody wanted to catch the bouquet. Finally on the 3rd throw, one of the girls grabbed the bouquet. LOL. I thought it should be what we see in the movies, whereby all the girls would throw their hands into the air all ready to catch the bouquet. So funny sia lol.
So that's all for the day and therefore we left for home after that funny episode.
Back home I showered and rested for just a while before I left home again to meet up Kah Wai and Edwin at City Hall. Edwin had jioed us to go to the Timbre Music Festival happening this week. Wing Kin joined us later. So we walked over to Timbre to check out the area and confirmed that there was some event. Then we walked to the nearby Kopitiam to have dinner. After dinner we checked out the Singapore Art Museum. There were some activities happening on that night. There was a flea market where lotsa boliao things were being sold. I even saw the ex-DJ of 98.7FM, Carrie Chong. She was selling some things at one of the stalls. Almost wanted to go up to her and ask her if she is that ex-DJ. But I can confirm it's really her. But at that moment I couldn't remember her name and therefore didn't wanna embarass myself or her by going up to her and talk to her. Wahha. Then we walked around the art exhibitions. Art Appreciation +20 pts! LOL. Then right outside in the grass patch outside the SAM, there was some guy performing. Didn't actually understand the whole meaning to it, but at least it's quite an interesting thing to watch.
Then Wing Kin joined us and we then headed for Timbre. WTH It's only 9+ and there was quite a long queue outside. The live band was scheduled to start at 10:15pm. So we joined the queue and waited. Luckily we got a table which was right in front of the stage area just before the band started to play. So we ordered our drinks and snacks and slacked the night away. Ngak and his friends were playing for the night. Not too bad a band. They sang many of the popular tunes, as well as one of Jay Chou's song for the first half of the night. We left before 12 cos we wanted to catch the last bus/train.
