Finals in less than 2 weeks and oh boy, have i got ALOT to study :(
Anyways, my long overdue post about my Penang trip almost 3 weeks ago like finally!
Attended a relative's wedding over at E&O. Apparently, one of the highest class hotels in Penang! O.O
The ballroom was kinda small compared to the one's in KL though.
Greeted with awesome scenery at the backyard during the pre-wedding cocktail event ;)
They even set up a 'CANDY BAR'!!!! All the kids went goo-gaaaa over it, including ME! :D
Table full of sweets, what more can you ask for? ;)
Typical wedding with the same old routine...bride walks in, everyone cheers, we eat, they give speeches, cut the cake.. yada yada.. oohh but one thing i remembered clearly was they had a real good live band serenading us with music whilst eating! :D Mann those people could really sing and play good music. Accompanies the food perfectly! ;)
The starters were something out of the ordinary..baby fried squids, papaya salad prawn and two other quite unique dishes (i can't rmb its been too long!)
And of course, shark's fin soup, MY FAV!! :D
Sweet sour prawns (the prawns were HUGE!!)
SEE!!
I missed taking pics of some dishes in between (it was quite odd actually taking pics in front of old people who can't wait to devour the food HAHA!) so i was abit paiseh :P
And of course, a Chinese wedding wouldn't be complete without Loh Mai Fan (Glutinous Rice!)
Its like a typical dish to serve I can't seem to figure out why.
And the wedding cake which was actually a fruit cake!
Pretty butter cookies to take home ..
I was quite bored halfway throughout the wedding hearing all the aunties talk, and my camera sucks so it couldn't entertain me much. Boo! (I WANT A NEW CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!) Couldn't get the functions right and the pictures came out quite awful :(
Some of the slightly decent pictures :)
With granny!!
And sis! (too much flash urggh!)
The bride giving her toast!
There were so many pretty roses and I loved it so much i wanted to take them home! :D
Quite a night especially for my parents having able to meet all their old uncles and aunties and friends who they haven't met for ages. They kept telling me who that person is (trust me its hard to remember when they tell you how to call them in hokkien) and I realise i have so many relatives who i didn't even know existed =.=
I guess thats how Chinese families get so big sometimes! I'm probably related to someone in uni whom I don't even know and I won't be surprised! HAHAHA. Okay, maybe not that 'kua cheong' but you get what i mean!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Final week of class this week and I'm done for Year 2 WOOHOO! :D
But then to exams first before freedom.. sigh! Can't wait I've got so many things planned out! Eat, sleep and be merry! Hahahahhaa!
Okay I'm hyper now. Just got back from a friend's 'surprise' party and it'was so ironic how we were suprised instead of him =.=
I better sleep before I start crapping about how the night went. Gonna be internet-less for 4 days :(
But i'll be back with a bang i.e. a much much faster internet connection at 4MBps!! :D :D :D
Till then!
