22nd on the 23rd
Saturday, September 23, 2006
ah... a long an eventful day it has been.... I want to blog about the 22nd on the 23rd as soon as possible will the memories are stills trong in my mind... I guess the stuff that is running around your mind would be dates... how can the 22nd be on the 23rd? have i lost me marbles?
haha well.. I attended a wedding reception today. It was at Banker's Club, a place where only bankers go? The place was in KL right next to Low Yat, the Amoda Building? ah.. there... pretty short jam on the way there and there was a little confusion with the parking... oh.. well..
Went into the elevator and searched for the number 22... was scrutinizing the numbers when AHA.... there it is.. "Bankers Club" with a small 22 by it's side... proof of its prestigiousness eh?
Pressed it and soon "TING" we had arrived... a step into the room and U can imagine the abnkers smoking cigars drinking wine while closing a huge business deal... of course old comes into the mind.. whahahah oh the chandeliers was real nice... In my opinion the Bankers Club gives an impression that it caters for men... like the masculine gender.. I don't know why... but there is a dance floor so maybe it ain't half bad.
Reached at about 6.45pm and it was the cocktail reception... Hors d'oeuvres were handed out on trays, Whisky, Wine and punch too were served... I grab meself a punch and sipped away while all the auntie and uncles talk... I jsut stood there and listen and they would occasionally ask what am I doin now.. etc...
There was this funny situation where I called my Aunt and then after that she went "who is this?" *in canto* I just laughed.... wahhahaha hilarious... oh well.. we only meet during weddings so no surprise there... there is a baby that is so darn cute... real chubby... wanted to pinch him.. but my hand was holding the punch so it was cold... don't wanna freeze the baby do we now? The boy is the son of my mum's cousin... ah....
Another complicating relationship is my mum and the bride and bridegroom... let's see... the bride's mum is my grandmum's sister and the bridegroom's grandmother is my grandfather's cousin sister.... and all this is on the ladies part of my family... so its like a unison of my grandad and grandmum's family again... *second generation?*
Ok after the coctail reception the bride was led down a stairs towards the stage... she like all bride's on thier wedding day was beautiful... I actually liked the wedding dress... hehe.. the escorts were small little girls and boys which were real adorable... Right... the bridegroom and bride walked to the stage to cut the cake and pour the Champagne over a champagne tower mind U... and the bridegroom gave a short speech thanking the people who were there...
After that is was dinner time, the cute little escorts were told that they were free and they went "YAY".. hahaah k.... so me, mum and dad were seated at table 7... right next to the main table... there were 15 tables on the first floor... the second floor I have no clue. My guess is table 7 is a real IMPORTANT table.. since the bride's mum's sisters were all there... except my grandma who couldn't make it that's why I was told to stand in on her behalf... I felt so privileged... what an honour.... Hey even my mum's brothers and sisters weren't invited due to the lack of seats and I was there... imagine my power... wahhahahahha
Right... I think I drank too much wine... the placement of things was pretty neat... they left a small message rolled up and tied in a ribbon on the table... It was the Menu... *Neat Stuff, has this romantic feeling too* Frankly speaking the food wasn't that good although I must admit the "hong dou sa" was pretty impressive... *hong dou sa is.... grinded red bean soup?* The atmosphere however was really nice.. the ambience an all... Right on the 22nd floor.. the top floor overlooking the city... beautiful sight... really... a first for me at least.... sadly there was no Shanghai pancake for dessert... I always look forward to that dessert but oh well.. hopefully the next one has that... nyahahahha
Before the dinner the bride came round to our table and I called her Auntie which felt really long considering it was her wedding day and she looked more like a sister than an auntie but she's my mum's cousin so Auntie is right but it seemed so wrong in that situation... ah.... forget it...
There was of course the mandatory "Yum Seng" and as this was the table that needed to be respected the "Yum Seng" wasn't so long... Cannot main-main with elders mar... then towards the end of the reception the guests were invited to dance ... That was what the dance floor was... suddenly.. there was a disco in the Club... hahaha no one at my table danced... besides they were talking interesting things... so I listened and laughed....
We could however hear the music at the dance floor *it is linked* there was "Play that funky Music white boy" which is pretty weird... i dunno why... the weirdest thing however was they played Anita Ward's Ring My Bell... I can imagine the guests dancing to it while holding a bell and ringing the bell when Anita went... "U could ring my bellllllllll.... ring my bell... my bell... ring my bell....." some weird imagination i have... if they did start ringing it would be a total disaster....
The toothpicks had "Bankers Club" Written on it... another sign of it's prestigiousness? we left at about 11 when the guests were dancing.... All in all this wedding was pretty fun... maybe because I was high on wine? haha impossible... It wasn't half bad.. at least people were talking and all... I think smaller weddings are better than bigger weddings... what do U think?
Now for afternotes..... I never ahd so much wine before... 2 glasses... not bad... actually there wasn't much alternative... there was chinese tea... but U know Chinese tea ain't nice when it becomes cold and the waiters / waitresses weren't quick in pouring tea so... it was empty most of the time... so I only had wine to drink....
U know how certain things affect how U think... I think this wedding did just that... Now I'm thinking what I want to do with my wedding... first thigns first .. Shanghai Pancake... GOOD Shanghai Pancake is a must....
Apart from that I'm thinking of getting dresses and stilettos and the works... *by works I mean that I have no idea what other stuff there is* I told my mum I wanted a cheong sam... then she said.. what if U become fatter... then I went OH... with my eyes widening... hehehe then I thought maybe I could get a little black dress which every girl has... *i doubt it works here thought* I was thinking black is kinda bleak... why not light pink? or Fiery Red?
Then at one point during the dinner when everyone was talking I was actually thinking what it would be like if I went for Prom/ Ball... weird weird... hahahha Somehow I think I think too much... makes the mind think I guess...
I shall now call it a day at exactly 12 am... according to my computer clock... I shall retire to bed now.. after i do certain stuff... hehehe ok now.. cheerio... and an after thought that I want answers to: Does Wine make people drunk?
