The Wedding Eve

After months of preparation.. THE DAY is almost here. On Thursday evening, we got a call requesting that Ah Kong's car be the bridal car. So on Friday, daddy and I had to take the whole day off (instead of the afternoon half off only) as we had to send Ah Kong's car for polishing, to buy the biscuit orders for everyone, to send Ah Ma to get her car wash, to pick up daddy's book, buy the wedding present and then pick you up from school. All done with Ah Ma's car as daddy's car was in the workshop with some minor paint job being done.

So after we picked you up, I had to finish all the last minute packing and when Ah Kong's car was finally ready at close o 3pm, we quickly packed the car and headed to Ipoh. You took your nap as promised and didn't even wake up when we dropped by the Ipoh house to drop off the tapioca kuih and cream puff. You'd only woken when we arrived at the hotel.

Took a while for us to finally check in as there was problem to get our requested non-smoking room. The hotel was fully booked due to a hockey tournament being held in Ipoh. When we finally got our room, we took a quick shower and it was time to bring the car to be "dressed up" and for us to help out before the guests arrived.

The "decorating committee were also busy decorating the garden with flower petals and I was told that you also helped to put the decorations on the tables.

In between, Uncle Dennis also kept you entertained so that you didn't get into everyone's way.

There was lots of food served that night. There was a whole roast pig (the guy chopped the roast pig there and then for us.. it was YUMMY), fired beehoon and fried rice, several dishes and the kuih and cream puff which we brought from Penang and many other things too. Oh yes, there was even a "Lok Lok Stall".

At around 9pm, Jack Chek chek and Jackie Ah Chim requested that you were brought to the bridal room (before you fell asleep). You were given the "green light" to do something which you'd generally be told off for doing.. Yup.. jump on the bridal bed. What started off as you shyly standing on the bed ended up with you all excited and jumping and rolling all over the bed. Daddy wasn't around to take pictures of you jumping around. I'll post the pictures when I get them from Natalie Kor-kor.

We headed down and at around 11pm, we hitched a ride with Jack Chek Chek as he was going to drop off Jackie Ah Chim at the hotel. But before we left, you kor-kor's were in the kitchen concocting a "yummy surprise" for Chek check and his "heng tai's" for the next day. Poor thing, these were along the things which they prepared... Look at the cheeky looks on their faces:

After getting ready for bed and calming down, you finally went to bed. I had to creep out of bed to finish hemming your new pair of pants which we'd bought that afternoon and ironed a mountain of clothes which you and daddy were to wear the next day for the afternoon ceremony and dinner.

Daddy for back later with Uncle Jamie that night.
