Wedding

Went for Reuben's wedding dinner last Fri.. took the following pics (these are the only ones I had which featured a weirdo):

Joseph, Vi Ling & the same weirdo

The dinner ws at Imperial Tai Thong Restaurant in Puchong. All in all, it was great. Later us guys went for our bachelor's party and we began the night....

...and finally slumped at 4 AM (yes the above is censored, keke) while Ivan Teng & a few others went to watch World Cup.

The morning.. convoy! We went to Mun Leng's place (where the bridal shower for the girls took place last night) with 4 cars. The wedding car; A Gold Merc Kompressor (driven by Ronald), a Nissan Sentra (Joseph), a Volvo dunno-wad (Aaron), and a souped-up, riced-up Datsun 120y (Me).

Yes, i drove Ron's orange, yellow-flame-vinyled antique. It wasn't that bad really... tho it was kinda an eye opener when we were at the highway... Had difficulty shifting to Gear 5. That's when I realised that it was only a 4-speed manual. Yes kids, 4-speed transmissions do exist.

Reached Mun Leng's (the bride) place at around 9am. Gate locked, as usual.. and the girls at the other end.. evil girls...

Level 1 (Main Gate)
Girls' theory #1: Marriage brings many flavours. There's sweetness, as well as bitterness in it since no marriage is obstacle free.

Task #1: Prove that us bachelors can take it.

Substance #1: Bitter-gourd juice (Bitter)
Substance #2: Paddy Chilli (Spicy)
Substance #3: Lime juice with skin (Sour)
Substance #4: Orange concentrate (Sweet)
Substance #5: Soya sauce (Salty)

It was a terrible day for our tongues... were supposed to chug them all down. Few of us nearly barfed.

Comment: I'll never touch bitter gourd.. ever again.

Level 2 (Inner Gate)
Girls' Theory #2: You will do anything for her if you love her.

Task #2: Apply one wax tape to one leg for each bachelor.

Luckily in comparison my legs are rather.. erm.. feminine.. so it did not hurt as much (nor is it as obvious since there's not much hair to rip)... but sadly, I can't say the same for some of the others...

Comment: Girls are so barbaric when it comes to beauty.

Girls' Theory #3 (to Reuben): If you love her, you should be able to see her as someone special above all other girls.

Task #3: Reuben is given several questions about Mun Leng to be answered correctly. Also a napkin with many MANY lipstick marks. Reuben is to identify Mun Leng's one correctly. For each failed attempt, one bachelor of the girls' choice will have to apply TWO wax tapes.

My heart goes out to Ronald, Aaron, and Stephen....

Comment: Thank goodness for my park-cham kai (direct translation: White Chop Chicken) legs...

Level 3 (Bride's Room Door - FINAL LEVEL)
Girls' Theory #4: Lavish us with gifts

Task #4: Hand over the ceremonial suckling pig, and pay the door-fee which is stated by the girls.

Handed over the poor animal. Next up.. Fiona stated the price.
Door Fee: RM90
Concession at hand: RM250

Yay us! We even threw in an extra RM10 for fun.

Girls' theory #5: Listen to us.
Task #5: Reuben's supposed to fulfil Mun Leng's personal request.

Request: Sing a love song (Unchained Melody)

Reuben did. 4 times. Once solo, once with backups (somewhat), once at a relatively low key, and one whispered softly to Mun Leng (through the keyhole of the door).

Conclusive Comment: Can I NOT marry a Chinese?

Tea ceremony next.. then its off to church! (Datsun again) What next? Wedding ceremony lahs. I was the cameraman (not my camera, so no pics =P ) and then we had lunch. Then.. that's it. Haha. Owh ya! Vi Ling caught the boquet.. and blushed kao kao! Congrats! And for some reason, Reuben threw another boquet for the guys. Ivan caught that one.
