Was going to wait till i get a hold of all the pics taken...but that might take months...but here's some re-cap on that day when Tze Leing and Bang tied their knots...
It all started when KM rushed to the Wedding Ceremony after dropping by at Yumi's place to post for a few photo shots coz it's the 1st time I wore my formal suit( mebbe the 2nd time)...it was kinda odd tho...for a guy to walk in so overdressed XD...thinking how nice it'll be if Yumi were to tagged along...
Reached there juz in time and noticed....
The Wed Car was awesome BMW Z class...woo hoo...nice nice...with 2 teddy bears strangled in front of the bumper...how cute...rite?...poor teddies...
In order to go in...we have to pass thru some "ang pow" screening routine...where according to chinese customs...one has to give ang pow instead of prezzies to the newly weds...XD...the fun part is...since i dun have any wedding ang pows (those with the chinese word "Xi"), I used my New Year Ang Pow (with the word "Fu" written on the front cover) instead.
Managed to get thru tho...
The place was quite awesome...think bout 20+ tables...I was directed to table 16 i think..can't remember much...but yeah...I tot it'll be some ah mah's or ah ee's table...but to find out that there's a bunch of psychos juz like me hanging there...XD...can't remember all of their names except Joanne and Adrian tho haha...but i think we r the loudest table around...
The ceremony starts..yada yada yada...then we feast on those chinese main course meals...was awesome...
Until...
Take note of this....Aussies DUN do our traditional YUM SENG STYLE....as in the crowd suck in as much oxygen as they could and start screaming YUUUUUUUUUUUUMM SENNNNGGGGG~!! culture...the longer u can drag...the merrier...
so as usual...our table beh syok d...coz of the lack of "noise" in that hall...
in a few moments when the newly weds and the family came around for some picture taking session...we gathered around....singing "yum seng" to them...i think our whole table went cookoo coz of me, Adrian and another guy...XD...but who cares....heaps fun
to our amazement...unknowingly..we started the yum seng trend...i think all chinese do have some KiaSu syndrome implanted somewhere...haha...but i must say...no matter how hard the uncles and aunties tried...they can't beat our record in holding our breathe....haha...never...
Tze Ling and Bang had a tough time coping with our cookooness...as they have to hold their breathe for so long juz to say yumm seng.........on every table right after ours...HAHAHA....yes....25 of them....25 friggin tables...thanx to us~!
Overall...the food was good....the entertainment was...erm...not bad (considering some ah mah sang some supa dupa old old old song...freaking the OZs out)...the newly weds were a match made in heaven (but can c their panda eyes lar...must be very tiring)...n I had loads of fun
*will upload some photos once i got it*

Something to share about life
A young woman went to her mother and told herabouther life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose? Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.
Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, whatdo you see?""Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked,"What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity ... boiling water.? Each reacted differently. The carrot wentin strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, afterbeing subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior,but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter."When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot,an egg or a coffee bean?"Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst , you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
The happiest of people don't necessarily have thebest of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes alongtheir way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
