17.09.08 - Wee Kiat's wedding - Marina Mandarin

The morning gate crashing went ok..

1st up - small pieces of white bread each for the groom and 4 brothers
2nd - bite thru two slices of lemon each
3rd - oreo cookie stuffings/paste (without the cookie) with sugar
4th - half slice of a full length bitter gourd
5th - oreo cookies! but stuff with wasabi

So that completes plain, on the top four flavours - sourness, sweetness, bitterness and spiciness; all in order..

Oh, i had that Guinness Stout with a raw egg dumped into it. As you guessed it, they drank 1st, leaving me to clear up the residue. Having no qualms about it, i gulp it down, disgusted.

Arrived at the hotel around 5.15pm, bummed around and went for briefing by hotel staff.

I was nervous and spoke so quick that to some i wasn't clear, almost mumbling.

Went through the script on stage for a good 5 times at least, with each try easing the tension.

Then the moment came, facing around 300 people on stage, i went "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, i am Peter. I believe tonight is the night we have been looking forward to. Before we invite the newly wed couple, let us take a look at their montage."

The rest went ok, i think, according to the others: Not the astounding, but above average.

I need to put the following down, for i wont be apologising for this. I use to undertake the negatives to keep the smiles and buzz intact, no longer i am to some.

So next up, photo taking. My task was to help groom drink, should the need arises. I went mad and sounded harsh when confronting those who were suppose to help arrange the tables for photo taking.

Due to time constraint, we need to arrange one table ahead, so the couple can just stand in, "click" and there we go.

They left me alone for temporal, walking off out of sight. I smiled and carried on alone. I wouldn't mind going solo, than to have some vases around.

When we have barely a little over an hour to complete the 30 tables, averaging a little over 2mins a table, did anyone noticed we complete the process in like 40mins for all the 30 tables?

I reckon there isnt any, or much.

Thoughts of the day: What seem impossible is left for you to conquer.

P.S. Do not worry if ever you did peeps, i'm all smiling from side to side. Cheers! =)
