Another December wedding...

2 days pre-christmas, I attended SJ's wedding. She was my supplier and new sis-in-law of a friend (D)- She is marrying D's brother C. Their's is a very grand affair, as he comes from a very affluent family.

My cousin Simon accompanied me to this wedding. We arrived at 7pm and was greeted at the lobby by a myriad of luxury cars - the bridal car was a chilli red sports car with both their names as car number plate. Very sweet! Beside them are various Mercs and Beemers and also another rolls royce with the couple's name. According to one friend, SC who was one of the chee muis in the morning, the groom's entourage consisted of 15 rolls royce, and 15 other luxury cars.. and 5 or so police escorts. That is one of the most kua-jeong weddings i've ever heard (in KL/M'sia).

The couple is such a lovely couple, despite his stature, he and SJ are one of the nicest, most helpful, humble, sincere and genuine people around. Here's wishing them a fantastic married life ahead filled with happiness and love that is everlasting.

The crap that they spew out these days.

Seriously... flipping through our M'sian newspapers these days will cause much cringing. Especially when you read comments from the "people we have elected to govern the country".

Look at what our Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum is saying about snatch thefts incidents in the country?

THE public is partly to be blamed for snatch thefts, said Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum.
He said snatch thefts usually occurred when the victims were careless with their property.
“Such an attitude gives snatch thieves the opportunity to strike,” he said when replying to a question from Senator Siw Chun Eam.
Earlier, while replying to a question from Senator Datuk Rizuan Abd Hamid on snatch thefts, Mohamad Johari also placed the blame on women.
“Sometimes, women like to carry expensive handbags and wear clothes that invite trouble,” he said.

Does the same logic applies to those VIPs whose house got burgled/robbed recently, i wonder??
Why is he, of all people, justifying the crimes that are committed by these criminals? And you wonder why i don't feel safe living in this country.. and btw, thanks for using the tax money i pay to protect the criminals!
Well done. M'sia boleh.

December Weddings...

Attended Jackson's wedding at Sunway Resort Hotel. Jackson's a friend from uni, and from which I knew from college. He so happens to also have the same birthdate as I, except he's a year junior.

I was contemplating on what to wear for the dinner and wondered if I could still fit into this aquamarine peacock-motive Qi Pao that I got tailor-made in China. I tried it on and surprisingly it still fits although the tummy shows. Haha.. it's ok. I can hide it with a pashmina-thingy. Slapped on some make-up, and did my hair with very minimal effort and there I am. All ready!

CG came to pick me up so i didn't need to drive. Arrived there late (True to our lovely M'sian timing - at 8.00pm) and was delighted that some of my uni/college mates were there too!

We occupied half a table and i sat next to Lina. She still looks lovely. The ballroom he occupied seats 1000+ and Jackson had 120+ tables in this ballroom - such a grand affair. It was a very enjoyable dinner - with good company and the wedding proceedings went on pretty well. No noisy karaoke singers..

The wedding favour was a box of chocs - a dark choc and a white choc. I opened my box and found my white choc missing! Hmm... but well, i shouldn't be taking so much sweets anyway. The food was altogether good and they served cute little gold-fish-like pastry at the end. Just too cute!! (Taste average though.. peanuts filling)

Dinner went on and on mainly due to the courses being served rather slowly. We left at 11.30pm!!

Another wedding next week but I'll pass on tht. And another 2 weeks after. BUSY BUSY year end!
