cycy's wedding 101006
day started off at 6++am, had to wake up early to dress up n meet rachel for breakfast b4 going over to cycy's hse. had to go buy the ingredients for the "salad" at the mkt too ;p
one of the nicest card i hv made ;p
rachel with the card :) arrived @ cycy's hse ard 9plus...went upstairs to the beautiful bride n cool down in the air-con room b4 starting preparations for the sabo session... didnt hv much time for the sabo session coz was onli allocated 20min n groom n gang were late so onli had 3 segments. (me had plan at 5-6 diff segments but werent enough time :P)
cycy checking out our gifts 
heard that the groom liked this :P
covering up the veil since the groom was late, they 1st given punishment of 10 push ups each (at 1st wanted burpees but they bargained down to push ups)... next was the "suan tian ku la" (sour sweet bitter & hot) salad... the portion was a lot smaller than planned coz cycy's aunts n uncle were monitoring us all the way n didnt really approve of wat we were doing coz apparently, there werent such practices in kuching. her uncle even said "better not marry singaporean girls" ;p... the groom took only abit of each n his own bro actually helped me finish the rest (except the chili padi) while the other two bros juz stood aside to watch.

punishment
sour~~
2nd segment was q&a. tink qns were abit too easy coz the groom got most of them correct.
last segment was the balloon popping but not b4 the ang bao bargaining coz the keys to the door was supposedly hidden in one of them. tink the groom got off abit easy coz we didnt actually bargain for a bigger ang bao.
let me in please~~
for the ballon popping segment, we hid a few keys into 8 ballons filled with confetti n glitter powder... they were tied in a bundle n hung fr the 2nd floor window down to the corridor outside the hse. the groom was supposed to stand in a box marked out right under the ballon to ensure that he can escape fr all the glitter n stuff n bust the balloons with a stick we had prepared. b4 dat the groom had to shout "lao po wo ai ni" (darling/wife, i luv u) b4 mei mei n rachel lowered the balloons down. one of the bros found a chair fr the neighbour's hse n hence forcing them to pull them real high up.
in the end all the keys in the balloons were all dummies to ensure the groom had to burst all the balloons :P... there were some unexpected incidents along the wat such as halfway thru, i heard someone say the door's open n i turned ard to find cycy's daddy had opened up the padlock with his spare keys but luckily, i brought along n extra bicycle lock which onli i had the keys :P.. after eventually bursting all the balloons, the gang were quite surprised that all the keys couldnt open up the lock, some thot the keys was stuck on the ledge above or elsewhere but cycy's dad manage to once again bao toh us by telling them the key was with me...
happy bride waiting for the groom to sing to her
rushed upstairs to join the gals after unlocking the lock. the groom was forced to sing a song to the bride b4 finally allowed to enter...
finally got to see the bride
unveiling the bride
dessert for all the rest of the afternoon was spent going to n from the groom's n bride's hse for the tea ceremony which we managed to complete ard 2, which was an hr ahead of schedule n hence allowing me n rachel more time to rest n get ready for the evening banquet.

arrival @ groom's hse
tea ceremony at groom's place (was helping out with the tea at the bride's side so didnt hv time to take pics ;p) popped down to the hotel ard 6pm to take a look at cycy n her huge hotel rm at carlton nearby... went down to restaurant to help with the preparations to find that mei mei n gang had already set up most of the things n we onli had to sit down at the reception to prepare for the guests' arrival. was abit chaotic at 1st was the lighting at the place was abit dark n had problem locating the names of the guest n getting them to ensure their names were on the ang baos. luckily the bride's list was much simpler n shorter than the groom's side... while rachel went over to pick up the bride fr the hotel, i helped to do some last min check with meimei n cycy's mum on the guest list.
@ hotel rm b4 dinner
mum n dad arriving early for dinner onli managed to settle down after cycy had marched in n we have packed up the things at the recept. wasnt able to help to take video as planned as the venue was too dark to see anything at all so left the rest of the photo taking to the professionals.

p.s. did i mentioned how TL i was with one of the groom's bros troop. told rachel i wld whack him the next time i saw him. yah, he did help to take time off n drove the others ard but else then that, he did nothing to help. @ the banquet, he n the other bro was supposed to usher guest to their seats but all the while, he juz sat at his own table n started drinking wine even b4 the guests arrived. i even went in to ask him to come out to help coz the other one couldnt cope once the guest started swarming in but he juz refused to move. the most irritating part was when i had to go the toilet, i bumped into him n 2 female guests, i overheard that the female guests didnt know where the ladies were so i pointed out to them. at this moment, the stupid a**h**** said "yah loh, never do your job" (as in implying i was suppose to bring the guest ard). shouted back at him "dunno who's the one who nvr do their job 1st"...
on top of this, his table drank most of the wine throughout the whole nite n cant even "yam seng" properly (our table started 1st n they tried to follow)... cant even "yam~~" without stopping at least 10 times, no breathe dun show off lah, not even paiseh!!
moral of the story (which both me n rachel concluded): choose ur brother troop wisely, dun choose pple who talk big n dun do anything ;p
