SHOUT-OUT-LOUDLY : Viva La Vida: 喜庆在万豪

7th November 2009, Saturday

It was the Wedding Night of Alan Choo & Cindy Tan.

Dang dang dang dang..dang dang dang dang...It was mama's side, cousin Cindy's wedding dinner in JW Marriott Hotel, Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur..吉隆坡万豪酒店. The wedding dinner was conducted at Mayang Sari Grand Ballroom. At the beginning of the year, we already knew that this celebration will be held in this hotel as they had planned properly for it. They had searched for several hotels in kl and finally chose for this and we had been informed the actual date and venue in the end of last year. So, guess what?! We're just waiting for this day coming...TODAY!

In early morning, as what I'd mentioned before, I got my muet exam in school. Mama and brother had gone for the wedding celebration in Trinity Methodist Church, Petaling Jaya at 11am. The exam involved three papers which took a duration untill 1245pm. Supposed to be ended at 1230pm due to the last paper was taken too much time for listening part, and so the paper did not finish as what the time had been scheduled, it was delayed about fifteen minutes. After that papa came and fetch me home as I'd told him yesterday because of not enough time to prepare myself if I back by public bus. When out from school gate, papa's car was just infront, and I rushed in quickly. Fyi, waiting for bus need time, some more buses runways are consider long enough to reach my house though, it takes time, too. Headed home at 1pm and without wasting the time, I made myself clean-a bath immediately, and prepared myself well. Papa went out to finish his work, actually is a preparation for the night business for awhile. Two little daughters(sista 'n I) were doing their dressing-up at home. Polished my nails firstly..my God! An hour had passed. I was getting fed up with the nails polishing because it did not beauty up my nails...grrrrr! I polished again and again...Finally, done! I wanted to make a curly hair by using an equipment which sista borrowed from her friend. Sista was still using..fine, I wait. Time passed, and papa came home together with mama and brother by picking them at aunt's house. It was three-ten in afternoon. Now only she finished done her hair curly'ing, it was my turn. Ouucchhh! Too hard..TOO HOT! Time goes to four without caution. I'd only made a little curly as it really need a time more than one hour to make a full curly hair. I only have forty-five minutes of time and how to get a fully curl of hair?! Mama was nagging at the same time. Quickly changed my suit and be prepared to go out. Mama said have to go out at four sharp due to scare of traffic jam and raining. But seems we can't make the time, when everything was prepared well..soon we out from house at 425pm. (How fortunately I asked papa for fetching me, or else..I can't imagine what is the time I'm gonna use!) Outside was started raining...Papa drove thru the sentul road, thunder heavy storm then. Traffic jam and congestion for sure. Inside the car, only I realized that I forgot to bring my mirror and scarf..well, small matter. On the way infront of peng ming primary school, a huge tree had been "cut down" and lead to the cars stuck on the road. At the same time, tweets can't be updated. It was fully dangerous! Some workers tried to "pick" up the small branches on the road and shift to another way from blocking the cars crossing the road. The circumstance was totally out-of-control. Some drivers came out from car as they think that their cars can't move infront anymore. Or should say they were dare not to do so as it had a space enough for a standard car to drive thru. Mama started blaming, as she is impatient as well. Moreover we'd late from going out thus we'd wasted some times there. Well, it was better afterwards. Had been stuck on the road for ten minutes more and the cars infront of us started moved on, finally we were "saved". Headed the hotel at 515pm. Car park costed us rm5. ~_~ Hotels' parking fees always pricey much! We walked straightly to the hotel's lobby..my first impression of JW Marriott Hotel's lobby was, too small! Hmmmm..It doesn't looks like a lobby as well. A female receptionist came towards and we asked her 'bout the floor of the wedding event, she informed us by showing the notice board there. Called aunty jenny(cousin cindy's mother/mama's brother's wife) as informing that we were reached. I wanted to take some nice photos at the lobby there but time do not wait for people and soon we'd been brought to upstair by following aunty jenny and uncle tan(mama's brother). Met mama's side relatives there, of course. : ) We have been seated at another foyer room to wait for the 6pm of tea ceremony. Since I was rushing time when doing my preparation, I did not do a makeup at home. Sista was doing me a favour inside the room there. We went to toilet after then..for a better view. After making up, camwhore inside.= ] Both of us did not use any lipstics. At six sharp, the ceremony began. Sista and I were sitting in the first row of the guests' seat..convenient for snapping..heheh. The "dai kam jie" was a male..he sudden asked me to do him a favour for keeping the accessories and jewellies by standing besides him. So the "cameragirl" job goes to sista. The bride, Cindy asked a woman called rachel for helping them, too. She talked to me..Btw, she has two little cute girls, sista and I had took a photo with them before. The children grandpa is a foreigner and he was snapping us when papa taking our photo at the same time. Finally it's daddy's and mommy's turn. Dad asked me to use his iPhone to take photos when their turns. Seems like got the rachel is more than enough and so I sat back on my seat for continuing shooting. Yeppie, it's time for us to get the angpau(s). The ceremony was ended at 7pm. It was the cocktails time..never had such experience before. Wuuhooo! Guests were pleased to the corridor which outside the ballrooms, foyer rooms or function rooms to have their drinks. Beers, no thanks..juice, thank you. Of course we did not have any alchohol drinks at that night. That's a small insect inside sista's glass..asked the waiter there for a change. Photos taking time, too. Finally, reached eight sharp. The wedding dinner was started and we walked in the grand ballroom. The ballroom is quite wide and nice at all. Have our seats then..and without any time wasting, the dishes were served at 830pm. There were eight cuisines there as normal. While we were eating, there's a video recording and galleries 'bout the bridegroom and bride for us to watch up. Funny! My little cousin brother, Boon Toong who sat beside me is quite gentleman at all. He kepts taking the foods for me as ladies first. Unlike with the wedding dinner which held in chinese restaurant, the difference is the singing session part. Here has no any volunteers will up to the stage to sing but live band will do. Here's given a place for the guests to dance with their couple(s) but not for restaurant. Well, many people perceived that the dishes in restaurant will be better than in hotel. I guess so. : ) Just the hotel decoration will looks nicer, I agreed. ;P Infront the stage has a live band for singing and saxophone performances. Wowww, how romantic the night was! Imagine that you are eating and listening to the songs at the same time. Awesome!! Besides that, there also provided a dancing pool for the guests to have a dance with their partners. Weeeee! Hotels will do, as I had gone for a prom night last year although we're just inside a function room and we got our dance there too..and why not for a grand ballroom especially for wedding night?!! Each table has a waiter standing beside for serving you. YUMSENGGGGx3!! Almost 11 night, the dinner had been finished and yet papa, mama, sista and I enjoyed dancing on the dancing pool. The same for aunty stephanie with her husband, uncle anthony. Felt embarassed at the beginning..but after thinking that it just for fun and why not together we "jump" onto the dancing pool to take our time there?! Free style of dancing. You know getting half of the guests who dancing there were up to forty in ages, they are hot! Hehee... After I shooting the photos, again I asked brother to record for me and I joined in. Most of the guests were left from ballroom after finishing their dinner. Around eleven thirty night, we decided to go home. Before it, we'd picked the flowers which were as decoration there. A bundle of real flowers in hand..crazy for picking "all" the blossoms before going home..esp sis, my cousin brother's(kai gor's) girlfriend..lol. Well, all cousin girls had a photo taken with Cindy in one-by-one by holding the flowers. XD The foreign old man gave me a white rose as we're searching for white rose when we saw that's also another colour of the flowers. Thank you, and finally said bye bye to us. It's time to back, headed home at twelve-ten. Papa went for working then, I admire you, dad! The night was totally fabulous!
