If not for my Gramps who woke me up at 6:18am, I would have been late for Sworn Sista's wedding last Saturday (Yes, you heard it right. 6:18am) I jumped out of bed, took a quick shower before changing into my turquoise top and black skirt and dusting my face with powder (Hello clogged pores!) I was fortunate that everything went well (At least I did not look like a Chinese opera singer : P )
Took a cab and reached her house at about 7:20am and was surprised to know that we were too early (Dammit! I could have saved 5 bucks!) The entourage was slacking around and having slices of banana and walnut cake for breakfast whereas Sworn Sista was sitting in her room with the makeup artiste applying all kinds of colours on her face. Feeling bored, I started to fiddle with my mobile phone and reading the newspapers (There was simply nothing much to talk, except for formalities : ( ) I freaked out when the bridegroom and his entourage reached at 8:40am (He was 40 minutes late!) We executed the gatecrashing games and I must say that they were not exactly exciting. We did the usual by asking them to do the push-ups and drink some weird concoction : / (The only time that invoked my excitement was the ang pow negotiation - We managed to squeeze 288 bucks)
We proceeded to Hort Park for photoshooting : / It was so damn hot under the blaring sun that I could feel my makeup melting. Argh! And the worst thing was that we had to smile despite feeling all hot and sweaty (No wonder professional models are paid well - They have to endure sweaty armpits yet put on their glamourous smiles) Was quite glad that the bridegroom entourage was fun-loving and proactive (Else, I would have rot from boredom)
Final destination was the bridegroom's house at Ang Mo Kio. We had our long-awaited buffet lunch and rest : / (Unfortunately, the food sucks) Well, while Sworn Sista and her hubby were performing the wedding rituals, we were bumming around and watching television : / At that point of time, I was getting restless due to lack of sleep : ( It was a long wait before they wrapped up everything and one of the members from the bridegroom entourage drove us home. Woohoo!
