Brother's Wedding

Took a 2 days off this week for my brother wedding and also run some errands on the day before my brother's wedding. Its going to be a hectic week for me!!

Wake up damn early for my brother wedding, I slept around night 3+ and I think I work up around mrn 6+! Surprisingly I wasnt feeling that tired throughout the day I don't know why also. Anyway, my gf come over my house around 7am to help up with the usual traditional wedding tea ceremony. This wedding is slightly different from my previous two brother wedding, both my 1st and 2nd brother their wedding is tea ceremony in the morning and a wedding dinner at night, but my this 3rd brother wedding is a tea ceremony in the morning and wedding lunch buffet in the noon! So in terms of timing wise it is alittle rushing coz not much resting time for us in between the tea ceremony and the wedding lunch buffet.

Anyway after the tea ceremony ended around 9+, my gf and I rest for awhile and then proceed to the wedding function that is held at Rasa Shangri-La Sentosa Resort. As there are limited vacancies in my 1st brother and 2nd brother car, I and my gf no choice gotta take the public transport despite being so dressed up! (-_-) Upon reaching harbourfront, at first I went to the control station to ask for directions to take the shuttle bus to the resort, the instructions given was not clear and we just roughly make our way to the assumed bus stop and wait for the shuttle bus. But after reaching ar, the bus stop never indicate anything and as we running late already we decided to go vivo and take the sentosa train instead. When reach vivo, the sentosa staff say we still have to pay for the entrance fee even though we have the wedding invitations card!!! As I feel quite unfair to pay for such thing, I decided to ask the staff the correct locations to wait for the free shuttle bus to the resort instead. End up they give me a even more blur directions until I totally don't know which bus stop to go wait for the shuttle bus. After touring here and there, as the time was running we no choice end up took cab at vivo to proceed to the resort. *waste money*

After reaching the resort, we went to my brother room as the solemnisation haven start yet, this was the first time I step inside Rasa Shangri-La even though I am frequent visitor to Sentosa and also this is the first time I step into their resort room. The room at the resort somehow make me feel that the room look like those room on a star cruise. The balcony view from my brother room was very nice and it is very suitable for couple to stay for sure. After awhile everyone start to proceed to the first floor and get ready for the solemnisation by the beachside.

After solemnisation, we proceed to the ballroom for the lunch buffet and I manage to see some relatives over there, people that I don't even have any idea had I ever see them before at any other places. I think this happens to everyone I suppose? Like every wedding that anyone go to, they will like see some relative or what that they dont know at all yet the relative will claim he or she had seen you before. Anyway, I think its been sometime since I last attend a wedding buffet instead of the usual wedding dinner 9-course meal, I guess the buffet trend is slowly catching up as more and more young couples are opting for it nowadays.

After the yum-seng and every other thing, and ta daah...it was home-sweet-home for everyone. I think I drank at alot of different drinks in the wedding, got orange, coke, sprit, expresso, red wine and english breakfast tea. Luckily I didnt had a major stomach upset after that.

*My parents got 4 sons, 3 already married and I am the last one left! My mom already told me something at my 3rd brother wedding, she said that since I am the last one in the family to get married, she will want the wedding to be a big big one and end it on a very good note... So I guess 1 or 2 more years later, the pressure will slowly start to build on me.. oh well...ZzzZz
