an elaborated wedding affair

It was two weekends ago, during my Easter break, i attended my cousin's wedding dinner at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore. 4 of us went - the mother, the sister, the brother, and I. As expected, since it was held at the ballroom in Shangri-La hotel, everything looked posh, lavish, grand, and expensive. Nevertheless, it was a classy affair. Everyone turned up in their best attires.


Such wedding dinners are a good reason for relatives to chit-chat/mingle/gossip among each other. I guess it's the norm when everyone gets together at occasions like these. Besides the annual Chinese New Year get-together, wedding dinners are the best time for the relatives to mingle around. And since CNY was just barely 3 months ago, everyone still looked the same, at least to me.


Heh.





There were more than 60 tables. We sat at Table 28. The ballroom looked grand, thanks to the pretty-looking chandeliers. There was a LCD screen projecting their little love story. Quite sweet though, considering the fact that the bridegroom is my cousin's first love. They have been together for 10 years, imagine... It really set me thinking... Is love more than just a feeling? Or is it just a myth? I believe love is a myth, because all of us operate by myths. In fact, life itself is a myth. We're all living in one. ;) [this myth thingy is inspired by my media studies lecture]




There was a cocktail reception before the dinner. And boy, the dinner only started at 9pm! o.O My face was turning all pale by then. Luckily i didn't faint. -.-





My outfit for the wedding. No other occasions for me to wear my new custom-made baju kebaya. Therefore, i decided to wear it for the wedding dinner. =) One of my relatives were asking me what made me wear baju kebaya that night, i should have said i wanted to represent my country - Malaysia (quoted from my sis). *lol*


I realized I always ended up wearing white when i attend wedding dinners. I wonder why... hmm. Oh well, just some random thought going through in my head right now.



The famous three women of the Lim family. Left-right: my sis, my mummy, and I. Can't really see my mother's face, but nevermind, i still think this photo looks pretty cool.




My mum took a pic with her mummy. I think my mum is starting to resemble my grandma/her mother more. Means my mum will look like my grandma when my mum starts to age? Sounds freaky. =P









Overall, i would say this is the most lavish/grand/posh/expensive wedding dinner i've been to. Did i mention that they have fireworks on the stage as well? Geez, i wouldn't want my wedding to be so lavish in future. I would rather save the money and go on a 2-months honeymoon in some exotic island/country. Hehehe. By the way, more and more of my relatives are getting married since early january this year. I dunno why but i think it's scary. o.O I'm not a marriage person, perhaps? Love is in the air, definitely.



Annoucement:
The Lims (3 of them) are coming up to this super-congested Kuala Lumpur this Saturday!!!
