And brings her away on his Mercedes! There were a few 'tests' before he managed to do that though: "Give us ang pow before we let u see her", "Drink this weird drink first", "Sing a few songs", "Say I love u in 9 diff languages"... u know, that kinda crap ... :P

Tea-serving ceremony. There's close to 100 of these pics, with different ppl being served.

By 2pm, I was terribly hungry and bored. That's when we rented a taxi and went for the island tour ;)

But it was going to be very tight coz the wedding dinner actually starts at 5.30pm. Some guy was coming to pick us at 5pm, so we'd have to time the trip really well. That explains the express tour we had: 1.5 hours including makan!

Thankfully we made it. But the hall was already FULL. OMG, have u ever heard of a wedding dinner at 5.30pm?! Anyway, it wasn't long before food was served...

I find this unique, its not the usual starter we get. The mini buns are superb.

To entertain us during the meal...

Stars of the day.

My role was to take photos and videos of the champagne popping, singing, blablabla............................... zzzz

The dinner was over by 7.30pm :D Crazy, eh.... In fact, the guests never even wait for the bride and groom to stand at the exit... they jz blah! And not even the usual 'Yam Seng'... Oh well, every place has its own unique culture :P

Guy trying to show-off his cup trick which I admit, was impressive.

And something we don't see happening these days: don't let anything go to waste! Tah-pao the left-over food, fill the leftover drinks into bottles....

By 8.30pm, already back in our hotel. What a tiring day!
