A Lavish Wedding In Singapore

March 26, 2013

I have been living off my suitcases this month without unpacking much except for dirty laundry. After Bangkok's grand funeral, I attended a grand wedding at Conrad Hotel in Singapore the following weekend. Next week, I will be off to Shanghai for a week's break and I still hope to find quality time there to read all your blogs.

Here my honey posed with the groom's sister who "dressed herself to kill" for the lunch reception. The hotel is so big with superb class services where you don't find any Bangla workers serving you.

I was attracted to this 2 lovely boxes for the guests to leave their "ang-pow" gifts! Yes, we have to pay our fees before you eat the food. The lunch table was tagged like (Sin)$1,800 per table. It really burnt a big hole in my pocket but the dishes were all fantastic and good enough to please the Empress Dowager. I cleaned all my plates dry!

The handsome groom is my wife's cousin and we are very close with his very kind and generous parents. I was not surprised to see so many relatives flying all the way from China, Hong Kong and Malaysia as a respect to the parents.

I always enjoyed myself meeting up with relatives from my wife's side which are very different from mine. Here they have drama queens, gossip queens and kings who would bring the house down with laughters. They are all very humble and would speak anything without 2nd thoughts! However, my relatives are too polite and reserved people who would laugh softly in the public! Adoi! I am not like this!

I must admit that all the Singaporean guests who attended were very well dressed from head to toe. Even the 2 ladies wore pretty wigs (See the photo) to look their best. Sadly, the worst dressed guests were from Malaysia and China! One relative-couple from Guangzhou wore plastic slippers into the ballroom with deplorable clothes but they live in a 4 storey house in China!! They have money but no dressing taste!

The bride and groom are very matching with their natural good looks. The 6' 1" tall dashing groom was a model in Singapore and currently works in the advertising industry like me.

I heard Ah Hua scream so loud to show the groom's close up. So I had to steal his photos from his Facebook! Oh My God! I am a thief!!!

Okay is he handsome boh?

hahaha, the groom's sister who "dressed herself to kill" for the lunch reception.. errr, i think this statement is to show how a hypocrite you are?? writing and thinking in two total extreme?? but right, that "kill" is most probably what she thought of herself and what others perceive her look right?? :D

You witnessed two different spectrum of life.

A funeral.

And a wedding. Where a couple is starting their life together.

Got collect ang pao kah? The trend here now is - they will state in the invitations: "Gifts in cash or kind are respectfully declined!"

Aiyor...you went funeral and then you went to a wedding. Not "chiong" kah like that.... I think Chinese people don't like.

It was (and still is) a shock to this southern barbarian when she realized that wedding guests in Japan also have to contribute financially. You don't buy gifts; you give cash. A lot of cash. So much cash that I think it might be better to be friendless and familyless! ;P

Enjoy your break!

One of the best places to find good used kid's clothes is at yard sales. Then compare they to a structure that has every bit of the bells on top of that whistles that someone are looking with regards to. This continues to lead to mother and father to be troubled concerning how their little ones dress. Rummage Sales, Yard Sales, Clothes Swaps, Family and Friends. These sites have thousands of items and they change every day. Having an older child provided me with some research on how I should organize a child's room.
Web Clothes has adults as well as children's clothes at a discount. A household can never have too many rags, and when the mess is not caustic or otherwise dangerous, these rags can be used many times. However, if you wait it out you can get their clothing marked down 60% after a month or so, and then use your 20% off coupon on top of the markdown. The clothes are beautiful, comfortable and durable but they are very cheap. These children are considered throwaway children and often end up on the streets. Right now they have Daily Tea Kuju Stripe Short-Sleeve T-Shirt in 3-6, 6-12 and 12-18 month sizes that retails for $17. The United Kingdom children's clothing markets have confirmed to be the
most resilient of the clothing sectors. The work will be to
find out the specific items that are available.
Any leftover items can be sold at a garage sale, and some
cash earned. When children have been the victim of violence,
the cycle begins, and frequently their lives take a different path.
Sears is one company that makes sturdy pants just for boys which is backed up with a guarantee.
Offer guidance but let them have some control over their wardrobe choices.
Buying clothing for situations that your child will not face (baby tuxedos are adorable but may be the need there soon.
It is difficult to sort through an entire mound of clothing to find
a specific size, so many people will not even bother.
The clothes sold are done so at a fraction of the original price.
This holds true with all violence toward women and children.
You can get choose from tanks, underwear, blouses, skirts,
pants, jeans, shorts, and more. It is Central London's premier shop for affordable and high-end vintage fashion. Members then respond to your offer if it is an item they want.

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?

I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any recommendations?
