the last time I am going to be a jie-mei

Ha. This post is long overdue and I really mean long. Though its dated 27 June 2010, but the actual date of publishing its actually 19 Jul 2010 and Gavin and Charlene wedding was almost 1 month ago. Procrastinating. Yes thats the word to use. In fact, I've already uploaded the pictures which was the most tedious part. I really hate uploading pictures on blogger because I always have to realign them. Super inconvenient. But then...if a blog does not have any pictures..its super boring. I can't imagine one with lots of words. I'll definitely zzz soon.

Ok..21 June 2010. My..er.. 5th time as a "jie mei"? In fact, I lost count. But Charlene is a good friend of mine and how can I reject her invite to be her "jie mei"? So I gladly took it up even though there was a need to apply for a day of leave. But for a good friend, its worth it! Of course..it goes without saying. Being a very experienced "jie meis" and in fact, the 4 of us are very experience..the brothers didn't get away easy. Can you imagine on a Monday morning to be faced with difficult tasks?? *hiaks hiaks*. The sisters really put our brains together and came up with "fun" stuff and the pictures tells it all!

Angelia bought herbs and we boiled it and threw into this bucket. Evelyn gladly tied the key to the main gate onto 1 of the herbs and we threw the key into the bucket.

Herbs with bread crumbs and red dates. :p

Crackers with Tabasco and Wasabi with Tomato as the filling

Here we have it. Honey, Bitter drink, Beer and Biscuit + free size mens underwear awaiting for the arrival of Mr Gavin Lim.

Charlene looking radiant on a Monday morning - which is the most important day in her life!

We were at Gavin's place and the couple was doing the traditional tea ceremony. So being very bored coz we were purely on lookers, the 4 of us was hiding behind in the kitchen and started whipping out the camera and snapping away.

The couple going back to Charlene's home for the tea ceremony to her parents. 回娘家！

While the couple was doing the traditional tea ceremony at Charlene's house, once again..1 shot with Sammi! Her turn is coming in Oct 2010!

and of coz 1 with Evelyn Lim.. a 大姐姐 she is to me. :)

After the couple tea ceremony and the lunch. The "sisters" took a photo with the lovely couple.

Just 1 with our lovely bride. I really miss the colleagues and friends from audit

They rented this car and I love it. Yes its a Mercedes SLK. I wish it was mine. But I kind of prefer a CLK instead. But can I have a manual one?

hot car with a ah hem..not so hot babe.

After her ROM and she's officially Mrs Gavin Lim/Mdm Charlene Tan.

Evelyn linm missing coz she had an appointment.

After their ROM, they treated us to dinner @ Ashtons. Something amazed me..when we asked the waiter if the pork chop was medium rare or cooked. He said he will check for us. But I am wondering "Pork chop? Medium cooked? Isn't that scary?" But well thanks to them for the wonderful dinner!

The couple didn't have their dinner on the same day. But due to work, I wasn't able to apply for yet another day of leave on Tuesday. But I was off duty that day and we had this very "onz" Gavin friend who so willingly helped them for the dinner and off load our duties :). I got off work on the dot and arrived early at the venue and was helping Charlene out in her room.

After wearing her gown, we took a snap shot. pretty pretty.

Their wedding album. I love this page the most coz Charlene looks cute in it.

At the reception. Sammi and Myself
