Great start to 2006

siyong & fuhsiang wedding door gift... a heartshape shower gel

Spent my new year working at esplanade for the countdown. A great firework display that was at 0000 hrs on 1st Jan 2006.. The whole 9 mins show was much much better than the ones at firework festival. The music and fireworks were in synch, and for some part, the fireworks really appear like they were raining on the crowd. It's a great start to the new year, a year of hope, joy and happiness...

Attended Siyong wedding just now. The wedding solemnisation was held in the morning at Paya Lebar Chinese Methodist Church, where the exchange of vows, singing of hymns and kissing of bride took place.

I was almost late for the service, had to catch a taxi when the bus driver dropped me outside payar lebar methodist girl school and gave me the wrong direction. But i managed to enter the hall in time, before the bride did. I saw Siyong at the stairs, waiting to be ushered in, i shook her hands, and ran in just before the pastor got up to begin his speech... I was told by sengwai and desmond later during the service that i wasnt supposed to touch the bride before the groom does .. but hey, the bridegroom gets to KISS her kie, i din get that privilege.. so a simple handshake is a good consolation right???? =p

After the church service, i went to city hall to meet up with eric, mickey and vannel. They introduced pure and innocent me to the real ugly world where there are no nice guys in the working world. For 3 hours, they tried to convince me that even the guys in their companies who appear to be decent are likely to be involved in extramarrital affairs or are planning to get into 1. But then again, those guys are in the finance n banking sector, where they are so used to the high life, surrounded by beautiful gals... such temptations are unavoidable, and lead to their downfall if they do not have enough self controlled.. hmm.. i wonder how life is for those decent engineers who earn so much and yet do not have a dog or a girlfriend.... ha ha..

Its back to the wedding dinner at 7pm swissotel merchant court, where the njc choir pple had a table all to ourselves. The joke of the year is by pamela, who asked us who fuhsiang is (*the bridegroom) 2 hours after the dinner starts. But then again, she came in 2 hrs late too.. haha.. but thats because there was a traffic jam somewhere ba. The couple were really nice to have prepared muslim food for two of our frens, zarina and her husband.. but then again, i will prefer the chinese food anytime, the tofu goreng, nasi bryani, and mutton for the halal menu just do not look appetising to me..

Its been a great start to the new year! 2006 shall be a great year for all of us! yea...
