today was my darling cousin's big day~~ i had to wake up at 5am in the morning to prepare myself as i got to reach my cousin's place by 645am! my cousin is a teochew & thus the customary wedding is held early in the morning. given dat i oni slept at 2am, dat means 3 hrs of sleep for me... boohoo~~ but the lack of sleep doesnt lessen the excitement in me as i'm gg to be the pretty bridesmaid! haha... it's indeed an eventful day as well as an eye-opener for me. not forgetting all the big fat ang baos i got! ('earned' ard $200 from all the ang paos! is there a job as a bridesmaid? i dun mind it as a temp job! haha...) anyway my cousin's hubby is a generous man indeed, gave a pin jin of $8888... being one of the jie mei at the door to 'te gan' the groom, i put my programmer skills to gd use & manage to get an open-door ang pao of $388! haha... but the process make me think of our nbc foc & how kian & his xiong dis will be 'te gan' in the future(maybe 18 tong ren?)
after the groom came in to fetch the bride, we had to proceed on to the groom's place for the tea ceremony. there's altogether 7 cars, wif the jie meis taking the xiong dis' cars. as i've to carry the gown train for my cousin, i had to arrive b4 their car & thus i took the allocated 'faster car' which resulted in me being carsick!(luckily jus giddy lah, nv vomit) bleah!
after dat we went out for photo shoots(weather really good today!) b4 coming back to the grooms' house for my cousin to change into her kwa(traditional red gown) for the 2nd half of the day. then we headed back to her house for the tea ceremony as well as photo taking.
