Last week was spent going for @chasingwaterfalls hens night where we (most) all dressed up according to the theme. 

It was my first hens night because not many of my friends are married or getting married. It was quite fun. 

The food was ok but I felt a little too full in the end. Haha. It wasn't the typical hens night which involves crazy drinking. Just a lot of jokes and laughter.

My character is a soprano and the story is based in the 1920s hence the feathers, bling bling etc
Saturdays was spent in centre then off to facial at my aunt's. 

When will the pimples go away! 

I hope they will not return after they heal.
After accompanying me from 430pm to 630pm, 乖乖 Ray let me choose where I want to eat. Hee. 

I chose big mama because I always see it on reviews but never got to go because it is quite out of the way (from yishun).
Who says I don't eat beef? 

Haha. 

I only eat marinated beef. I don't like steak those kind. Only the korean version. So good. #dayrefatties
It was our first time so we didn't know the serving size is so huge and even thought the pricing was a little too much. 

The waitress had to stop us from ordering more because we were ordering 2 dishes that are meant for group sharing. 

I wanted soup, Ray wanted meat. So she suggested getting soup that is meant to be shared and the beef ☝️that is of smaller size.

Memories came flooding back as I walked past the 139 basketball court. It seems like it's just yesterday when @chasingwaterfalls was convincing me to quit volleyball and join NPCC when we were in sec 1.

And also us running up and down the HDB block to get away from the boys who wanted to get our numbers. 

Tomorrow she's tying the knot. 13 years just flew by like that. It's crazy.
I was too paiseh to eat just now and I'm suffering from my super 薄脸皮. 

Ray is still not here to pick me up, I need food and sleep otherwise I will die.... 

Food....... 🍜🍙🍞🍡🍘🍠🍢🍥🍲🍛🍣🍤🍗🍖🍕🍝🌯🌮🌭🍟🍔🍳🍯🍮🍭🍿🍪🍰🍩🍦

First time as bridesmaid

 A bridesmaid POV 
As I saw my friend's post on her wedding, I thought I would follow her post and write a bridesmaid POV. Haha. 

Girls, do not say Yes to being a bridesmaid if you're not really ready. My feet feels like I just ran 10km yesterday in heels now. Haha.
Time check: 5am

I woke up on my own. Didn't even need an alarm clock because I was too excited and worried that I'll over sleep. Ok, maybe also because my fiancé was snoring the whole night right beside my ears that disrupted my sleep. 

Did my make up, straightened my hair, drink some meal replacement because I know I probably don't have time to eat. 

Sat around for a bit before I go to the 👰 house.
Time check: 7am

Reached the 👰 house but the mama not at home. I offered to help her put on some simple makeup for the morning because they didnt intend to hire MUA for the morning. 

She went out to chongpang to buy cake. While waiting, I just hanged around the 👰 room while she does her makeup to enjoy the air con. It was so hot. 

Done with the mama makeup by around 750am. I actually didn't allocate enough time to do hair but I don't really think her hair looks nice so I suggested to curl.
It was really quick curl because I had to rush down to the gatecrash place. 

The boys are here!
Time check: 8 something am

The boys playing the games that were painstakingly designed by the 👰 herself. 

There are 3 stations to cross and they pass each of them easily. No pumping, no eating of gross stuff. Everything is very edible. I ate them the night before while preparing. Haha
Fast forward to the real gate guarding. We obviously asked for Ang bao. The first one has 7 $10 note and multiple $2 note. 

Like what? Only this? 

The 🎩 then give us 1 more Ang bao that contains $8. The girls are not happy. Haha 

The 🎩 give us one last $8 angbao and oh well, he said that the 👰 says we won't ask for more. 

Then, we opened the door. We are such noobs at blocking door. Lol
930am ish 

While waiting for the couple to take some photos in the mosquitoes infested woods at seletar North link. We chit chat in the car, hiding from the heat and dust that trucks pick up from the street when they zoom pass us.
Took photos with the bride and the bridesmaids.
A shot with the whole crew. This was when we were still fresh and ready to take the day!
Time check: 1030am

I was in the dirtiest groomsmen car for the day aka chongyan lol. At first they said they are gg for car wash so have to wait awhile. 

When I first saw the car, I was like... What? Are you sure you washed your car? 

Apparently the queue was too long. Anyway it was a blessing in disguise given the amount of dust and dirt at seletar. 

We headed to 🎩 place after the shoot and oops! Someone forgot to bring the kua, and we had to drive back to get it.
Side story for photoshoot:

One of the groomsman's pants was torn even before the gate crash started. So when he came into the 👰 house, he sat down immediately. Lol. 

While on the way to seletar, we will pass by his place so he went back to get a new pair of pants that's of another shade and everyone noticed. Hahahaha 

He was like, 'I thought I can say it's the gatecrash that made my pants tear' lol but the kind bride prepared a very different and super mild gatecrash game.
Time check: 12pm

Tea ceremony and 🎩 house. We stood around the toilet area chit chatting while waiting for the ceremony to end. 

One of the groomsmen erm Jonathan? Idk his name. Paiseh. He went to the toilet to you know, shit. 

Wah, I tell you. It was loud. We didn't pay attention at first until another groomsmen, bobbie, who wanted to go to the toilet announced how loud the sound is. You know... 

Explosion happening in the toilet.
He was in the toilet for almost 15 to 25 minutes. When he came out, woah... 臭气冲天

He was damn paiseh because the smell kept coming out. So I passed him my secret weapon. Lol.

It's a freshener meant for toilet after shit. He went back in to drip the goodness into the toilet bowl and instantly it smelled good. 

Haha. They started taking photo of my toilet bowl freshener because they said they need it. Apparently, all guys shit damn often and when they shit..... 💥 happens.
Anyway, after the tea ceremony we went out to eat. It was almost the exact same spread as the night before at the 👰 place. 

Neo Gardens curry is so good. But anyway, one of the bridesmaid accidentally got curry stain of her dress. Which in retrospect, maybe I should have done it. Hahaha. Sorry 👰 but I thought I looked quite odd one out in the night when there's no more grey 😂 

My mom asked me this morning, 为什么你酱不一样?别人的都很好看。 thanks ah mom. Thanks. 

BTW, 👰 asked me if I'm helping with the
Ppt that another BM did because she couldn't make it. I tried to put on my poker face and kept denying it. I hope I was successful or she was too busy to care. 

Time check: 1250pm

Rushed back home to shower before heading to the hotel to makeup for the MIL. 

It was a mad rush. I have 1h 30mins to do everything. Shower, blow dry my hair, dry my clothes because they were soaking in sweat from the morning events, do my makeup for the night and tie my hair up too. 
Time check: 220pm

Convinced R to go to the hotel with me because the things are really too heavy for me to carry since I intended to change after the first March in, I had to bring my dress. 

Had a little argument here with R because he was hungry and I didn't allocate enough time for him to get food. Sorry. I couldn't be late for the makeup because I have to go to the wedding venue by 515pm for the rehearsal.
MIL hair was the toughest. It was short and not very well behaved. She wanted an updo so I tried my best. Oh, which reminds me, I brought some accessory for her so @chasingwaterfalls help me take it back from your MIL. Thanks. I don't usually do that la. Only brides get accessory.
Time check: 510pm

Reached tamarind Hill and R forgot to withdraw money. Facepalm. 

Anyway, he had more than enough time so he went to withdraw after dropping me off. 

I left my things in the storeroom and went out for the rehearsal. It was a quick rehearsal. 5 mins gao dim already. I mean it wasn't rocket science, just listen to lyrics then walk in lo.
Time check: 630pm

The solemnisation was over. It was a quick one. I expected the vows to be longer but they were quite short and sweet. 

They were taking some photos when I went back to check if the 👰 needs touch up. We went back to the store room where they re record their Vow. The sound system during the solemnisation wasn't the best. 

So anyway, only had to do minimal touch up on the nose because she rubbed them off while she was sobbing i think.
After that touch up, we just hang around until 730pm for the first March in. I drank quite a bit by now on empty stomach. Haha. It was fun catching up with people. 

Anyway, it was a little messed up during the 1st March in but everything turned out fine after that. The 👰 bouquet was still in the store room so we sent my march in partner mervin to collect it. 

All is cool. We walked in. Cut this cake that was almost impossible to cut. Hahahaha. Then back to table.
My next job will be 9pm because I need to help the bride 👰 to touch up and redo her hair. 

So in between we just drink again because the food took forever to come. Nothing to do, drink lo. Plus, I was a bit nervous about the speech so drink to 壮胆 haha.
Some photos taken after the solemnisation.
I should have gone to change after the first march in but was too lazy already. Just heck it. Also not my wedding, nvm la. 😝
Oh! I forgot to mention that I got told off my the 👰 twice to not hand my phone around my neck. Haha 

I changed my cover to those that can hang around my neck because my dress has no pocket. 😂 被讲两次我就拿掉咯

I admit it doesn't match but my grey by then also don't match anyone liao ma. Hahahaha. Jingyi why u no come 😭 ok la, bo bian kind of situation. Such is life. 

The appetiser came! Erm we thought it was going to be more cause the menu looks quite comprehensive. 3 dishes leh.
In the end, they are tiny servings of each dish. Lol. It wasn't nice. 

I thought the egg was an hard boiled egg and stuffed it into my mouth whole. 

Wtf.

Wrong move. 

It was a salted egg. I didn't read the fine lines in the menu. Damn paiseh to spit it out so I quickly stuffed more of the radish thing? Idk what is it. Or papaya? Yea, whatever, into my mouth. Almost died of kidney failure. Hahahaha
Apparently I wasn't the only one. Haha many of the guests ate it like that too. 

Anyway, after that, I went to look for the cards for the guests to write because the staff cleared away all the things on the reception table so that they can set up the main table. 

Then, I went around asking people to write. We need more pens, guys, take note of that. 

It was the hardest to get the family to write. They all looked at me and shook their heads when I asked them to write.
Then, I kind of force some of them to write by saying one family just write one la. Haha but I was smiling ok. Drink until high already by now. Lol

So, went back to sit down because too much walking was making me damn tired. Maybe alcohol too. 

But I drank again haha. The mains was still not served by 855pm. I was devastated. Because I had to leave at 9pm to help 👰 prepare for 2nd march in. So drink again to fill up my stomach. I had no idea how much I drank. Everyone is so happy.
We just keep 🍻 🍻 🍻 idk how many times. Maybe every time someone new joins the table. Hahahaha. 

I was reading my speech at 855pm because I totally forgot about preparing for it in between. 

Oh, we also stick the cards up the beautiful display on the easel and carried them to the front where people can see.
As u can see, r and I are already red and this was before the 1st march in. Hahaha
Skymessx!
Our NPCC gang, probably going to be the last reunion. Lol. No one else to link us up already.
More photos with the 👰
I think this was taken before the 2nd march in. Omg. I look so red. Hahahaha
After the 2nd march in was the speech section. 

Time check: 915pm ish. 

The other BM did a speech then followed by the song. Omg. She couldn't finish singing because she was crying so we sang with her. So touching. I was tearing. Lol

When it was finally my turn. Gosh, I had the script but I went off script so many times. I was lost mid way that my hands started to tremble. Ok, my hands were shaking when. I was putting the lip stick for the 👰 

Note: don't drink so much when you're bm.
But I was so happy. I don't drink that often. Nowadays, I only drink when there's happy occasions. Happy drinking is good. Hahahaha
After the speech, we went back to our table. To my horror, they cleared my main dish away.😭😭😭😭 I only had time to take two mouthful before the 2nd march in. I am hungry. 

So drink again lo. This whole post is the beginning to sound like the start of an alcoholic. Hahahaha
 尖叫声!!!!! 
The night ended with some drinking game that you're supposed to flip the cup after u drink. 

Erm, I'm known to be jelly legs because I Suck at drinking. So the 👰 team kept losing. And I can't flip cups too. Haha so just keep play cheat and turn the cups manually. Lol.
This is probably my longest post. Haha

Thank you so much for choosing me to your bm. I may not have done the things to your expectations but I am so honoured to be part of your wedding. It was indeed a fun filled experience and I can't wait for all the weddings to come when our girlfriends all get married. 

This might be the most gao gang wedding ever but it was definitely something we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Omg. I realised we didn't take a photo tgt of just both of us. 😭😭😭😭😭
