Haha.. not sure if i mentioned this but..
My brother just got married yesterday!! lolz..
it the morning, i was dragged outta my bed at arnd 9.. to follow my bro to his wife-to-be's house.. well, being my 1st time, i was totally unexperienced about the chinese tradition of.. the Groom having to go through trials and tribulations to get to the Bride.. heehee..
It started out pretty funny.. my bro got this really 'Class' car for the day, to use as his Bridal Car ;) but the thing is, it was sorta like a high tech james bond car somewhat.. perhaps a little too high tech.. =S i was about to leave on one of the other cars to the bride's house, when i saw the wipers on the car sliding side to side... and the ppl in the car were flustered on how to stop it... -_-"
it was almost comical, if we weren't late to reach there that it =P
Some of the formalities in a chinese wedding i noticed.. when we got to the place (where the bride lives), the groom's car has to be opened by one on the bride's side.. and there was this "english guy" (my bro's fren) who was traumatised when he "supposedly" could have ruined the whole wedding, as he was about to step out to open the door for them xP haha.. then again, it was this same english guy who was asking (while on the high-way):
"Hey, who is this Ang Mo Kio guy? he seems pretty popular having so many streets named after him"
ROFL!!.. i guess its gd to visit some other countries more often, so such stuff don't happen to ya xP
another thing is how all the guys were locked outside the gate of the bride's house, until we performed some tasks.. such as this rally race, Q&A abt the bride, and some tuneless singing while the groom had to draw an intimate moment on paper to persuade the bride to come out xD and that was considered mild by their standards!! dots.. i wonder what i'd have to do if i get married like that =X
ah well.. its been a tiring day, entertaining relatives, cracking queer jokes to make ppl laugh, and keep everything organised.. the one moment i did enjoy thoroughly was when i borrowed a guitar from "Lawrence" (a fren of my brother) to go play at a quiet area arnd Fort Canning(did i forget to mention the wedding dinner was there? =P ).. apparently, he was one of the Singapore Idol finalists who made it to the top 30 in the 1st S'pore idol.. what i can say is that is was an excellent guitar.. coupled with the serene night atmosphere of the old trees at fort canning, it was a beautiful moment.. with only one thought in my mind..
Dah-ling.. i wish u were here ;)
