Singapore Day2: The Wedding

As Uncle Eu Jin said that the bridal convoy was to leave the hotel by 7.30am, only daddy planned to go with them. So we got to sleep in.. or so I thought. Daddy was moving around the room, getting ready and asking mummy this and that, in the end, mummy decided to wake up and get ready before you were up. I had to shower and keep an ear out for you in case you wake up and don't see mummy. Luckily, you slept and continued to sleep until Ah Ma came into the room. I guess she was talking too loudly as shortly after that, you woke up.

So we all went down (with you still in your PJs) to enjoy the wonderful buffet breakfast. You were given a high chair with plastic plate, spoon, fork and knife. Chek Kong, Chim Poh and Kor Poh were already dressed for the tea ceremony, and enjoying their breakfast in the coffee house. After breakfast, we went back to the room to get you ready. You are also one of the "main character" for the day, as Uncle Eu Jin had requested that you "opened" the car door for him when they arrived at the hotel. After everyone was ready, mummy and you waited for the bridal entourage to arrive at the hotel. When the car finally arrived, they had to wait a while for daddy to arrive as he had to help you "open" the door. You were given an Ang Pow and 2 oranges.. Too bad the picture did not show you clearly (mummy is lousy photographer).. maybe one of your aunts got a better picture..

Next was the tea ceremony and we also got ang pow from Uncle Eu Jin and Aunty Lourdes. Hehe.. mummy and daddy also got one each. And of course, we gave them a gift. To be more specific, a gift to Aunty Lourdes. After that, you got really restless and so we both went up to our room for a rest and a quick feed. After having our photograph taken, we went off in a bus for the church ceremony.

The church ceremony started around 12.30pm. After sitting around for a while, you got restless and noisy. There was one moment when you were standing on the pew when you toppled backwards.. Luckily mummy managed to catch you as you tipped over. That certainly scared you a bit as you sobbed a little with teary eyes. But no loud speakers! Phew.. We spent the rest of the ceremony outside, letting you run around, exploring the church grounds. When the ceremony was over, we were treated to a buffet lunch. You must've been hungry as you sat on the stacked chairs, happily eating the fried rice and fried fish that mummy gave you. Of course shortly after that, you wanted to explore again.. So since daddy ate while you were eating, he entertained you while mummy had my lunch.

You dozed off on the way back to the hotel in the bus. I had to feed you on the bus. Luckily we had Ah Kong's coat to "cover" mummy up a little while I fed you. You continued sleeping when we put you in your cot. But when we removed your pants.. that was the end of it.. What a BIG mistake.. you were up and refused to go back to sleep. In the end, mummy left you with Ah Kong and Ah Ma while daddy napped and mummy went for a walk in Suntec City.

Soon it was time to get ready for the wedding dinner. We went down for the cocktail party and family photo. It was rather late and you started to get cranky. Lots of pictures were taken and I have picked some to add to the slide show below. You were happily giving everyone kisses, but by the time the dinner actually started it was almost 8.30pm. You were hungry and tired from such a long day and lack of sleep. So after having brought you up and down so many times, mummy and you ended up in the room and daddy had the porridge that he'd ordered for you to be sent to the room. Perhaps that ballroom manager sensed that we were agitate from waiting for so long.. he told us the porridge was compliments of the chef. And it was very delicious. You ate almost 1/2 of that very large bowl before finally falling asleep at 11pm! Another long day has ended... Phew.
