:: wedding in JB ::

over the weekend i went for a wedding dinner in JB. it was a very refreshing experience, considering the fact tt i've only been to JB (including this one) 3 times in my life. each time not lasting more than one day. sad!

the wedding was tt of my bf's colleague's. who also happens to b my ex-colleague's sister. haha. told u my bf and i haf many many connections between us! so i didn't exactly tag along ok.. i knew the bride briefly, at least! :p (funny thing is the bride remembers me but not my ex-colleague. hahha. apparently i look entirely different with my hair down..?! maybe i jus look too average for anyone to remember la! jus say it, i can deal with it!!)

so of cuz, it started with tt dreadful evening ride to JB, which was extremely comfy for my bf and i since we sat in his boss's MPV! :) we had the back seat all to ourselves and since we aren't tt big-sized, it was quite cushy.. and cozy. :) so it felt like a relatively short ride tt was not more than half an hour. (ard there la!) we went straight to the restaurant since the venue of the restarant didn't have much entertainment to keep us occuppied. we sat at our table, drinking glass after glass of water, orange juice and beer. until the in-house entertainment came on.

a 3 piece band, one keyboardist, one bass guitarist and one guitarist. with 2 chinese girls as their singers. they started off quite nicely.. one girl sings after the other, song after song.. one sings only in english and the other in mandarin. the mandarin singer was clearly better as she had a crystal clear voice and it was sweet too. the one tt sang in english was good until she started breaking out in jazz. she clearly does not haf a jazzy voice. jazz voices haf to b light yet powerful. hers was strong and piercing. and she delivered all the jazz numbers with such force i cringed a few times throughout the night. (yes they sang throughout the night!) and towards the end, she was oredi using watever energy she had to scream out the songs. omg. luckily it was only for the last 2 songs and then i left. oh wat happened to the madarin singer eh? halfway through the ending, she kinda stopped singing. and i reckoned it's becuz she was starting to lose her crystal clear voice cuz she was starting to break up in the middle of her last few songs.

aren't very professional, i say. but sure started out well.

that was not the most irritating thing tho. (i kno i'm so mean to point out all the bad stuff.. but.. it's jus a terrible habit i haf.. but i'm realli harmless!!) like i said, there were 2 girls. one tt sang in mandarin, and one tt sang in english. so each time b4 a song, they wud introduce their song, right? the mandarin singing girl wud alwaes intro her songs in mandarin.. and the english singing girl, in english. here comes the thing, the mandarin speaking girl is perfectly fine.. flawless and all (with no m'sian accent). the english speaking one... god help me. she was slanging throughout the night.. and no one cud understand a single word she said!! it was so frustrating and when i finally realised why we cudn't understand her (cuz she was slanging) i understood wat she was saying. after each song the mandarin singing girl delivered, she wud follow with, "thank you, tt was a wonderful song. the next song is a nice one by.." song after song, she wud repeat these 15 words w/o fail, only changing the song title and artist. I WAS GOING CRAZY. and with tt slang!!! argh!! i had a good mind to go up on stage and take over the mic!!! :p

ok, entertainment aside.. i was hugely disappointed with the way the newly weds made their entrance!! i dunno abt other girls but to me, the entrance part of the wedding dinner is THE part! and if tt screws up, i wud so cry over it! (immediately!)

here is how the entrance went: MC announces their arrival, wedding march comes on, door opens, bridegroom and bride sashays in.. well wishers pop their confettis and showers flowers upon them.. cameras snapping away.. newly wed makes their way to the table. THEN, light comes on. YES!! all that happened in the dark! WTH! wat were we supposed to see...??? the only time we ever saw anything, was when a camera flash went off! my goodness! if i were the bride, i wud demand a rewind, i mean.. who the hell cud see the beautiful bride in the dark!!! where did their brains go to i wonder! argh! and the worse thing is.. right after they reached their table and sat down, they served the cold dish IMMEDIATELY! tt is such disrespect for the couple. and absolutely no attention on them!!! OMG. tt wud b a terrible thing to happen on my wedding. i dunno if it was deliberate or due to a technical glitch. all i kno is if it were my wedding, i wud b devastated. :( it's my wedding and yet no one saw me coming in...?? sad sad sad sad sad~

so ya, tt being said. i guess it didn't bother the couple cuz they didn't make any hooha and they looked extremely happy still. *shrugs shoulder* wateva works i guess!

the food was great tho. i mean, it was a restaurant, it had to b good right. i did enjoy myself at the wedding tho cuz my bf and i had lots to yak abt tt night. and his colleagues were also wonderfully humourous. such a pleasure to haf as company. :)

and at the end of the wedding, my ex colleague finally recalled who i was. :/ gg home was also fast.. we took the 2nd link and there was no jam at all! :) my bf and i took the back seat again and had a happy and comfy ride home. :)

suddenly puts me in a wedding mood. :) but i kno i wun b spending too much cuz i'd much rather haf a splendid home than a grand wedding. let's hope my blog will still b ard to capture those special moments! :)
