Shopping & Sharon's Wedding......

Friday (04/12/09), Huijun and I went to J8 shopping. I guessed it’s more like chatting outing.

So happened that day both of us was in foul mood therefore there were a lot of thing to share. It was always great meeting her for casual and sometimes secret chat…..

We did go shopping after dinner, and both of us bought earrings, then we headed to coffee beans for relaxation….

I guessed she must be very vexed over her issues with her family as well as her boyfriend. The only thing I can do is shared her problem with her and at the same time offered her some solutions…….

We did not stay late as next day morning I’ve to be woken up early for Sharon’s wedding. Actually I don’t feel like going not because of her but I feel out of place hanging out with her relatives who apparently do not like me. I presumed it’s due to my divorce with Aaron.

I did try turning it down but Sharon’s mum (my ex-mother-in-law) kept insisting I turned up on the pretext that it will be fun. I really do not wish to reject her good intention at least that what I think so…..

Therefore we headed home before midnight and I have to say my mood did lighten a lot aftermath……

Saturday (05/12/09), its Sharon’s wedding. Early in the morning we (me and the girls) went to their place for the gate crashing. To think it’s a Saturday and I still have to wake up early but for her big day its fine.

We reached there before 8am but I was too tired too feel hungry. We went to Sharon’s room and she was all ready in her makeup and gown. She really looked stunning. No wonder they say bride always look the most beautiful. I truly believe when I see her…..

The girls were excited too except for Naomi. She kept clinging onto me and refused to take any pictures with Sharon.

But I wouldn’t say that to her relatives. They surely didn’t seem happy to see me, especially the grandmothers. It was really just what I have expected. I sat separately from them. I stayed with the girls at the dinning area watching cartoon.

Before 9am, Sharon’s friends were all here to get prepared for the tricks that will be awaiting the groom. They prepared lot of exotic drinks and tricks for the groom and his friends.

At 9am, the groom and his friends were here. They went through lot of obstacles before the groom got to see the bride. Dinah was particularly excited and before we noticed, she was already one of the fun-maker in the sister’s gang. She was standing right in front instructing the groom (Kenny) and his friends to do funny actions. I think she’s really very engrossed and into it….. I’m glad she enjoyed herself so much.

After the gate crashing, it’s the tea ceremony. Of course, we are more like spectators but it was over very soon. After all the photos taking, they left to Kenny’s house for another tea ceremony.

We waited until 11am for our lunch, but it was all Muslim foods. I hardly ate the food and the girls ate instant noodle and that’s it.

We were supposed to leave after lunch but they wanted Cora to stay behind to clear the dishes, thus I went home first with the girls.

Cora was supposed to be home before 1pm, but I waited to no avail, so I asked my neighbor to help look after the girls for a while. I explained briefly and dashed off. Thank goodness the girls are perfectly fine with Auntie Suzie.

Throughout the afternoon, I was rushing from one place to the other to get thing done. It lasted till we reached Raffles Hotel, then I’m able to rest a while. But not for long, I’m on the go again – to make up for the girls and getting them prepared for the entrance.

Natasha followed me too closely at least she never cried which was good already, but her sisters did a wonderful job. While the pastor was blessing their marriage, I was busy looking after Natasha.

After the solemnization, we headed to the ballroom to get a drink before heading back to the suite to change the girls’ dresses. I managed to steal some rest time before we headed back to the ballroom for the dinner.

We reached home after midnight and were totally exhausted. The next day we hardly managed to get out of bed.

Still the girls seemed to have an enjoyable and memorable day……………….
