I attended Choon How's wedding @ Raffles Swissotel today! 2 tables were filled with people who used to be from PAFF! How could I not be excited???
I left office @ about 1745 hrs today, which is considerably early though my knock off time should be 1730 hrs -- none of my colleagues had left yet! I meet up with Wan Hua @ South Entrance and took a cab down to Raffles City (though my darling had offered to send me to the hotel -- luckily he got the heart wor!)
Upon reaching, WH accompanied me to buy some gifts from MPH while we were waiting for Jen. Shortly after Jen arrived, we made our way to the ball room and it was about 7pm! *haha* We had actually arrived on time because the cocktail session starts @ 7pm.
The solemnisation started @ 8.30pm -- an hr late :) but I thought Teachers should be punctual ;p Anyway, they had approx 48 tables, which is approx 480 guests! Wow... isn't that many!!
Choon How was very happy too and it is my first time seeing him in his contacts! Hmm... I just realised that I have sort of know him for 8 years!!
As Choon How & his wife graduated from Beijing University (they are specialised in Mandarin!!), the solemisation were in Mandarin while translation were showed on the PPS. It was a serious yet romantic moment. Besides exchanging their wedding vows, they also had to exchange a small paragraph of their loving vows!
The MCs for the wedding were damn professional (of course, they must be teachers!). They talked as if they were the MCs at a Speech Day in school!
As I have expected, during the "Yam Seng" part, besides the people on stage using the mike to say "Yam Seng", none of them at the floor had joined in! *Hehe* Teachers are educated people and couldn't stand noise!! Of course, they wouldn't join in yeah? :D
Besides focusing on the couple, people from the Pang Clan (the Groom's surname) were invited on to the stage to give a short speech and in 2 languages (one after another!) about their Pang Clan and etc etc (which we didn't really pay attention to)! Annoucement was also made that the Groom's dad had actually donated $2,255 (why not $2288??) from the Ang Bao collected to the Pang Clan association. Hmm... for a moment, I was wondered if I had been to a business associate dinner, a charity dinner or a wedding dinner??
WH is a vegetarian so Choon How has specially ordered vegetarian meals for her and some of her dishes were damn interesting (though I have no idea how delicious but ours definitely wasn't that good)!
Anyway, the dinner ended around 11.30pm and my bf came to pick me up and sent Sue and WH home as well. *Home Sweet Home*
WH's 1st dish -- The Cold Plate Combination
This surely look nice to me :)
The 2 balls are fried Potato + Sesame Walnuts
We couldn't understand what's the different between her desserts from ours? (-_-")
Our table has got 3 absentees while one needed to leave earlier
Sue is supposed to upload this picture onto her Facebook :)
