Author: sweet surrender

WARNING: Tonnes and tonnes of photos!!!
Here we were after lunch! Foochow Association.

Ok… before we go further, today is Mei’s and Alysha’s officially upgrade their status from Miss to Mrs. I didn’t attend Mei’s registration ceremony at Hakka Association in the morning as I’m not invited. So I don’t have any pictures of her ceremony. In the afternoon, it’s Alysha’s at Foochow Association. We were there before 2pm because it’s supposed to start at 2.30pm but when we were all there, the people there told us the officer would be late, and can only have the signing ceremony at 4.30pm. So we decided to go to Lake Park to take photos of the 2 couples since we had like 2 hours to spare. I’m there to be the photographer. Hahahah… lousy photo taking skills.

Below are all the photos taken by me…

Alysha’s flowers.

My hand & your hand.

Let’s go!

Sweet!

Left: Marry me!

Right: It’s not a bird!! It’s SUPERME!

Left: Alysha!! You are heavy!

Right: Smile 🙂

Left: Staircase of love.
Right: … Except this one, it’s taken by Alysha.

Left: Marry me!!! Please! Else I’m going to jump into the lake!!!
Right: Careful…. careful… don’t get prick by the thorns.

After the photo taking session, we went for a drink at
Jade Pot Tea at Jalan Song Thian Cheok(not sure how to spell). I had forgotten the price of the drinks. From left to right, peppermint milky tea, jasmine green tea, blueberry milky tea and Coke(if not mistaken).

We went back to Foochow Assocation at 4 something. Then after some waiting, finally the ceremony started. This was much faster than Ann’s and much more "casual" . After understanding the rules and regulations, both signed…

Then, the witnesses signed. Last but not least… they exchanged rings.

After that, a family photo. This is blur, I didn’t use flash and my hands were shaky. Aiksss… now then I realised I had forgotten to prepare a photo of me with the newly-wed.


That’s it!
Congrates to the four of you!

WOW… it’s really a month of celebrations!!

We were invited to Lee’s house warming party. He had moved to his new house during Gawai holiday. There were about 80+ or more people coming. We should be there by 6pm because we’re afraid that there would be no place to get proper parking spots but because of some unavoided circumstances, we only reached there at 6.30pm. We had also chipped in to buy a gift for him. Earlier on, there was a storm all over Kuching. Lucky it stopped after a while and that’s when you see this! Rainbow!!! His house(left) is just right under it.

Right: The house entrance. Two entrances actually, it’s two houses(semi-d) in one compound.

While waiting for the buffet dinner to start, we took a photo with the host, Lee(orange t-shirt).

Left: One of the corners of the house.
Right: Some of the gifts given by the invited guests.

Left: Satay and chicken wings! The satays were in quite big sticks compare to to those usually we had outside. Not sure where they bought it.
Right: "Tang Yuan"(I forgot what it’s call in English ;p) for everyone while waiting for the dinner to start.

The buffet table.

The food: Watermelons, honeydews, mixed veggies, mango fish, roasted duck, nestum prawn(it’s a hit among all) etc. The caterer was from Dong Guan Restaurant.

Dinner started at around 7.30pm rather than 6.30pm. You know… need to say more… M’sians time. After dinner, we chatted until 9.30pm and called it a night. Poor Lee… we left and he had no more friends staying back to accompany him 😛 Must be busy talking with the sky or the food after we left. Thanks for the invitation 🙂

P/S: We weren’t sure what’s in the present. LOL… because Audrey was the in charge of it and we just pay her the money. I heard that it’s a set of containers and a decorative hanger but not sure how they looked like hahaha…

It’s said that today is the day of devils but it’s also a day of many people tying their knots.

LOL… Me? Since when? Just pulling your legs. It’s Ann! She’s the one that exclaimed this ;p I’m just her witness. The whole process was FAST! We had not got into the mood and everything was done LOL… Jimmy and I reached Teochew Association at 2pm. Jimmy was the appointed photographer ;p but all the pic you see here were taken by me ehhehe… except the family pic, this is because all pictures taken by him were in Ann’s camera and some obstructions of view from the angle of the photographer. Then waited for Eric, Jee’s witness to come so that we can get the number. Finally he’s here and the number got was 005… too fast!!! Ehehehe… slower a bit will be 006, and it will 6 all the way ;p

The rings and the couple.

Me and Ann, Jee and Eric. Camwhore a bit while waiting ;p

One for the album with Jee’s and Ann’s family. Arggg.. my hair looked big! It’s time to trim! AHAHAAH…
<>br
It’s time! 005!
The signing ceremony was conducted in Mandarin, Jee and Ann were blurred with what the officer was talking about LOL… actually me too. Couldn’t catch what he said. It sounded something like this:

Officer: Mr. Jee, are you here without anyone forcing you?
Jee: Yes.
Office: Ms. Chung, are you here wihtout anyone forcing you?
Ann: Yes.
Officer: Mr. Jee, are you willing to take Ms. Chung as you wife *blah blah*…
Jee: Yes.
Officer: Ms. Chung, are you willing to take Mr. Jee as you husband *blah blah*…
Ann: Yes.
Officer: Now I pronounce you husband and wife. You are legally married and this will for your lifetime. During this period of time, you are not allow to marry again.*blah blah*…

DONE! Sign Sign sign… 3 copies to sign for the 4 of us.


The certificates.

After signing, it’s done and allowed to go but the couple wanted to exchange rings, so the officer let it be. Wow… Big diamond!! How many carat?

Then, Ann’s grandmather(her mom’s side) congratulated them and told them to love each and take care of each other. Then, she handed them "ang paos".

After "ang poas", she gave Ann a gold bracelet. Next… you can see for yourself.

Everything’s done. This was taken outside the room.

All the best to you, Ann! Congrates! Looking forward to 9th July for the tea ceremony and the reception 🙂
