Ely & Cindy Wedding Invitation

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Ely & Cindy Wedding Invitation

30.9.2006, I attended their registration. Now the long awaited “BOMB” is here 😛 As we need to prepare “ang pao”(red packet that contain money) for the couple when attending their wedding dinner at Thian Court on 25th November 2006.

That morning they will have their custom wedding ceremony. Hmm… I might tag along to be the busybody again as Jimmy will be the one filming the ceremony. Then I will be the one to take photos for our blogs update. *LOL* Well, only if I’m hardworking enough to wake up at 4am(I’m a girl 😛 I need time to prepare) as we have to be at the groom’s house before 5.30am because he has to leave his house at 5.30am to the bride’s house. Don’t you think you are the much luckier, Ann? Hehehe… they are so much earlier than yours. Judging from the timing, I took the calender and noticed that the bride must be out of here house before 7am!! This is because there aren’t any good time after 7am until almost noon but people would prefer the earliest time possible because the possibility of coming across funeral entourage on the way to and fro the couple’s house is nil.

It’s not hard. Hehehe… as long that you have a Chinese calender(you know those daily calender with so many Chinese words), know how to read Chinese and know the words they used, then you can grasp it easily hehehe… It’s all stated in the calender already, you don’t need to be “God” to decipher them. However, don’t ask me about those 8 birth numbers to calculate the compatibility and so on, I have totally no idea and don’t believe in any of these at all. You won’t get all these in my wedding, I will fight for it no matter what! I’ll make sure I brain-wash my husband-to-be first so that we can fight together *LOL*

OK… Back to the invitation card, here’s the card, the one above is the envelop:

The card looked pretty nice though it uses red and gold, very typical chinese colour. Maybe the design is very simple and clean, that’s why. As for the envelopes, they print them themselves. The original envelopes are just plain pink envelopes. Every envelope has different design. I don’t have them but you can see it from here. See the left corner of the envelope? It’s done by Alysha.
They personalised everyone of them. Every envelope has different printing at the back. See the toppest photo on the right, they have it printed on every envelope and everyone of them is different. No duplicate! For example, my table is E2, they list the other 9 guests’ names there except mine. So everyone will not have their name at the back of the envelope. WOW! Lots of time, energy, works and concentrations needed!

Here… I did this(the design/photo arrangement) for them 😛 I’m Just being busybody again LOL!

SRB Chung Hua Pending 60th Anniversary Celebration

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on SRB Chung Hua Pending 60th Anniversary Celebration

Went to my alma mater’s 60th anniversary celebration just now. The celebration was at Jubilee Hall. OH MY!!! I couldn’t recognised most of my former teachers -_-” only could recognise a few but I didn’t talk to them. They were too busy and I’m busy minding my own business too, that’s taking pictures 😛 I didn’t see many ex-classmates or ex-schoolmates there. Hmmm… Ah well… Maybe it’s because I sat at somewhere faraway from most people as I was sitting with the students becuase there were extra seats. I was there to fill the seat. Dad was one of the organizing committees therefore my mom, my bro and I were there just to fill the odd seats 😛 It was packed! Around 700+ ppl attended.


L-R: Special magazine just for the occasion; The VIP seats and the stage.


The arrangement of VIP seats and the normal seats.

Lost in Translation

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Lost in Translation

Two more months to go to 2007. If you have noticed, usually end of the year, I’m turning into a devil. I would complain, rant, scold, pick on people or whatever… It seemed like the devil is coming now…

Remember that during Raya there was a news saying that the government is going to prosecute whoever that tarnish our national language such as mixing it with other languages. It had caused quite a debate in the Internet, be it in the forums or blogs.

LOL… Kiss my ass for that! It won’t work. You know how they can’t even stick to their own rules and expect us to stick to it? What a shame!

Click to read…(almost 500KB)
I read The Borneo Post on Monday and stumbled upon this article. It’s super hillarious!!! I think you should read it too. The author really did a good job in this article. With this… What do you think about that “law”? Is the cock talking or what? Ah well.. The article might not be 100% related but still it’s about our national language and English. I can do better translation than those people yo~

GO! Read it and have a good laugh over it! By the way, it will only work on those that know Malay language else you won’t get it at all. HAPPY READING or according to the article it would be GEMBIRA MEMBACA!!!

Wedding Bells are in the Air

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Wedding Bells are in the Air

Wow… so many weddings this year. Yesterday(30.9.2006) I went to not-so-familiar-friend marriage registration. Well… Actually I’m just being a busy body and went there to help them take photos though I know my photo taking skill sucks big time 😛 Since Jimmy was required to take video of the ceremony, there’s no one to help take photos so I went LOL…

It’s at the same place as Ann’s, Teochew Association. However, the way they conducted it was different. The couples could choose the language they want. This time, it’s in English and Teochew dialect.

It was pretty interesting. There were two of them registering at the same time. Hmm… How to put it? Let’s just put it this way… Couple A is the witnesses of Couple B and vice versa.

Ely(the guy with blue stripes tie) and Cindy(the girl in blue blouse with ribbon) were the witnesses for Ngen(the guy with dark coloured tie) and Priscilla(the girl in blue blouse) and vice versa. Ngen and Priscilla had theirs in English; Cindy and Ely had theirs in Teochew dialect.

Here’s the photos of the couples after signing the certificates:

Wish them all the best in their marriage 🙂

Hmm… this is the third and fourth marriage registrations that I attended this year and 5 couples got married(I didn’t attend Mei’s registration) this year. First was Ann’s, then Alysha’s, next was Ngen and Priscilla, then Ely & Cindy. Anymore coming? It’s such a good year for people to tie the knots don’t you think?
