CK's wedding

Sunday, 28th Oct - 1.45am

I’m sleepy but suddenly, felt like just typing a few words before I doze off to dreamland as I realised that I haven’t been blogging lately. I owe some of you guys stories of what’s been happening to me for the past few weeks!

Well, I just attended CK’s wedding dinner at JW Marriot a couple of hrs back. He had close to 50 tables and it’s definitely 1 of the biggest budget wedding that I’ve attended so far! I have to say that the food at JW Marriot’s pretty good. My company had our annual dinner at JW Marriot back in 2001, but I definitely don’t recall the food being this good! My fav of the nite has to be the codfish. They baked the top portion with honey and the fish was just baked to perfection.. Yummy!


CK & Ai We's wedding favor - a jar of honey!

He hired a live band which I am considering right now. It’s way over my budget but hell, they’re pretty good and the main person coordinating the band is not too bad - a young guy who’s really responsive compared to the band that I ‘kinda’ locked down. ‘Kinda’ as we verbally had an agreement but they didn’t ask for any deposit nor did they further bother contacting me to make further arrangement... So I’m really on the fence for this :(


Anyway, meeting up with Carmen and Noel was great. The last we saw each other was at Carmen’s wedding last year. Time flies! She still looked the same - well, maybe about more aunty-ish.... Haha! Kidding Carmen!! :P
She’s still the same ol’ Carmen!

Noel on the other hand has lost so much weight till he made me look like a giant next to him... It’s just weird seeing guys esp losing weight at our age. Usually it’ll be the other way round i.e. Guys tend to put on weight when they’re close to 30.. Hmmmm..

And I bumped into so many other familar faces where I couldn’t quite tie their faces to where exactly we met. CK was my college mate, we studied A-levels together. And then he did his accounting degree in Sheffield whereas me, in Manchester. But we did meet up twice or so in UK.. Plus some of his school and uni mate are also working in the same comp as me! That’s why it has been a nite of just talking to these familar faces using the standard type of greetings!


Me, Esther & Carmen

CK’s wedding was interesting - well, how can it not be for a big budget wedding rite! He had a live band, some salsa dancers entertaining us, and CK himself sang ‘Just the way you are’ to Ai We (his bride) as well.. CK can sing! Woo! New discovery for some of us :D
And then the usual change of bride gowns, speeches and slide shows to top the list of entertainment.

Sadly, I didn’t get to take any pics at all with the groom and bride! I left right before the dessert dish when the groom was going around doing the ‘yum-sing’s.

Nevertheless, I had a good time. Good food + good entertainment. Both that combination’s definitely memorable for me!
