Wei Chuen & Limiin's wedding ("flashback")

My dearest friend, Wei Chuen, married Limiin on 30th of December 2006.

I was most relieved when the wedding ceremony ended as I had to sing the march-in song("Angels brought me here") and the communion song("At the foot of the cross"). It didn't help that I was trying desperately to recover from a minor bout of flu that completely affected my throat. You should have heard me on Thursday night when they had the rehearsal, I could barely reach the high and low notes, it was most embarrassing and worrisome! On the wedding day itself, I managed to complete both songs without any major humiliation, but I could have sang better.

Here are a few photos, the first one is a group shot of YPM members with the couple:
*Thanks Tina, for the necklace! It was such a last minute call for help and you responded so willingly! My church friends thought the necklace was cool;)

The wedding dinner seemed more like a prom(or dinner & dance to my sister) to me, with everyone taking photos with anybody they came into contact with. The theme was supposed to be retro, but most of the people just came all dressed up, completely disregarding the theme of the dinner:)
The right photo is my one and only shot with the busy groom the whole day! Out of all the weddings I've attended, which actually aren't many, he is the only one I've seen who did not wear a tie the entire day.

At one point of the dinner, Wei Chuen and Limiin had their "first dance as a couple". His best man, Andy Quek and another of his "henchmen", Andy Teo, began to ask other couples to join the newlyweds in dancing too. Of course, being prominent leaders in church, my parents got asked to go up. It was so funny to see my parents agree to dance because I've never seen them dance together in my whole entire life(I think my family just can't dance for nuts). When they got up from their seats and started walking down the aisle, I rushed after them with my camera and took this shot: So sweet right? They even struck this dancing pose for me when I asked them to take a photo:)
The night ended with this cell photo taken just before I left with my parents and sister for home. Baby Josh was sound asleep in Lydia's arms.
The 19-year-olds actually wanted to go somewhere else in town to take more photos and have more fun together, since it is very rare that we are all dressed up(Elizabeth actually wore a DRESS), but I decided to go home. Any later and I would have probably fallen asleep standing up.

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
