Wedding Bells

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

I attended a wedding dinner of my far cousin (dad’s mom’s cousin’s son) tonight and it was different from all other conventional Chinese weddings, it was really modern (no yumseng no cantonese no old people singing on the stage no chinese songs played no taking photos with the bride and groom). I liked it. :)

Ok so the whole point of this post is to .. tell you guys that I have really really bad memory cause I barely remember anyone. =.= . AND THEY REMEMBER MINE!!

And I only discovered some facts about my extended family today.

1. I have a famous Malaysian artist as a relative. I don’t know his name.

2. Half of my extended family are professional photographers. During the wedding, its like the whole 2 tables of relatives were holding big ass cams with huge lenses. And all I could do was drool over them. Even one uncle who is as old as 50 had his own studio.

3. Some of them can’t even speak Chinese. I thought it was a cina wedding, HAHAH.

4. They are all over the world. My cousin from Tokyo invited me to go stay at her place there and I’mma think about it! Maybe when Ali goes there I can go visit her and have free accommodation. O.o

I guess it feels quite homey when you sort of reunite with everyone. Its fun as well.

My mom keeps telling me how I have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many relatives and how its going to  be really troublesome when I get married (to invite so many people yada yada). But I said I’mma only have a solemnization ceremony and that’s it! IF I ever get married. I always imagine myself old and lonely, hahah.

Chinese New Year : Day 1

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

At night, we visited Uncle Danny’s home for vegetarian dinner + after-midnight supper! Don’t mind me, because I have no clue what you call that tradition in Cantonese. Heheh.

The yee sang! There were more than 20 of us so we had 2 boxes. :)

‘Pun Choi’ in Cantonese and Bucket Of Veggie in English? Sorry, clueless. Its made up of everything. Pork, chicken, duck, prawns, mushrooms, broccoli, lettuce, and loads more. DELICIOUS! :D . Its even more fun when the whole extended family indulges in it together, heheh.

Most of the ladies that night.

Aunt Sally + me.

The year of the tiger is not working out for me! Every single time I play cards/mahjong, I end up losing to the core. :(

PS : I have loads to tell you. Make sure to check back!

His nickname is Angus, which I find super weird. Reminds me of the cat in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, HAHA!
