wedding bells ringing...

Nope, not us. =))

Mr goh's sis and jon's. Congratulations!!

I haven't attended weddings since my sister's, which is like 13/14 yrs ago. The most recent one would be mr goh's friend-edmund's, but his is more like a wedding tea party/solemnisation at Sentosa.

Anyway, their Panpac wedding banquet was a simple affair.


The parents were actually the busy ones who were trying to entertain the guests during the cocktail reception. Mr goh's family alone - "the goh clan"- occupied at least half the tables. 14 tables!! That's like at least 140 guests can!! and jon's side were made of up his relatives and both his and yiping's friends. And funny cos on jon's name list were people without names, only identified by the area they lived in. E.g Ang mo kio x4. Bedok x6 etc and he said he doesn't know most of the guests/his relatives very well. which i find quite weird, and thought it's more like the parents' wedding than theirs. I'd love to invite all my close relatives and friends only, cos i know they'll truly be the ones who will be able to share my joy 100% and whom i really want to share my joy with. Then again, thinking back of the 14 tables, maybe not then... it's more of a chinese tradition to hold a wedding banquet and invite ALL relatives and friends. To share the joy? To make an announcement? I don't know...

I'd want wedding tea party too. think that'd be fun. with dancing involved. lighten the mood, get everybody on their feet and laugh and be happy.

And it's right when people say the bride will look her best that day. It's not just appearance wise, but more like the inner glow and happiness emanating from within. Something which can't stop you from smiling, it's just that wonderful feeling which makes you look wonderful tonight. *grins*

finally had the chance to wear the sweetees dress!


will find a chance to wear it when hanging out with you girls too. ;)

while mr goh looks stiff with his coat on. Hur hur. (he says that's cos his jacket pockets got a lot of ang baos... so very heavy!!)


after banquet, headed to Ritz Carlton's chihuly lounge for some drinks. the place has really changed since the last time i've been there. the band has changed, people working there have changed, the look of the menu has changed.. but the drinks haven't change!! which is a good thing cos i love their cocktails!

this is Coco Jambo. Irish cream, kahlua and cocoa. =)Mr goh had ice passionfruit tea and he asked me why the ice is brown... the ice is made of tea, so that when it melts, it doesn't dilute the flavour of the tea! so thoughtful right? the same goes for their ice coffee.






and then there's the band.... 3 guys, 100% singaporean. one guy (mervin, the one looking into the camera, pianist) came over and chatted with us. and then later.. this happened.



Somewhere over the rainbow...Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream...Really do come true...

patiently waiting for that moment too. :)
