...it's HER day...

she looked gorgeous yesterday. she was fantastic. she was the star for the day. she was in the limelight. eveyone was captivated by her. we could not take our eyes off her. that's my sis. i finally understood why people always say the woman will look her best on her wedding day.


i woke up early in the morning yesterday to prepare for her wedding. though it was hectic, i had fun. i was one of my sis's jie meis. a norm practice was to tease the groom and get our ang baos before we allowed him to receive my sis. the first ang bao consisted only $2. what a meany brother-in-law i have. hahaz... after some negotiation, the stakes were rised. hahaz... when we allowed him in, he had to guess which lipstick mark belonged to my sis. in fact none of it on the tissue paper was my sister's. so he had to finish a bottle of yu gan you and HL milk with his brothers. then he had to write down 10 committments that he will do on a wedding card. the last obstacle was he had to sing my sis's favourite song. i do not know the title of the song because he sang the song in cantonese. followed up, we had the tea ceremony.


around 12noon, guests were streaming in for the lunch buffet. i saw alot of my sis's friends from her secondary school, poly, university and her colleagues. they changed alot and many were married. i could not recognise some of them. it then came upon me that time really flies.


before the start of the buffet, my sis had a solemnization. i was moved to tears when my sis and brother-in-law exchanged their vows and promised to love, take care of one another forever. so sweet....


the photographer went to many concerts to take photographs for the artists. he went to the jay chou concert last year which i missed it because i was in thailand. he showed me some of the photographs and they were all very close up and nice. hahaz... jay rocks. he gave me one of the photographs. hahaz.. so exciting... he promised to develop a bigger version of the one i like for me and will pass it to my sis when she collects her wedding photos. i cannot wait to see the photos. hahaz...


i am starting to miss her. =(


" i could spend my life in this sweet surrender"
