The reception was held on
19 November 2004 in Raub, a small town in the state of Pahang,
Malaysia. We drove for 2 hours from Kuala Lumpur and thought for a
moment we were lost. When we headed to the wedding venue, all nine of
us (4 guys amd 5 gals) thought we must be over-dressed for a small town
wedding reception. Ery was nowhere to be found. After several minutes
of mingling, we asked for Ery and was only told that we were at the
WRONG WEDDING!! You should see the funny sight--4 "blur kings"
and 5 "blur queens" looking for a hole to hide!
When we finally arrived at the right wedding, we felt right at home.
The hosts were most gracious, and took great care to see to our every
little need. There was a "live" band to serenade the guest, and plenty
of food to fill our growling tummy. We should've worked harder on
making Clarence sing for us!
Anyway, I was very caught up with
everything that was happening around me, after all, it was the first
time I was at a Malay friend's wedding. (The previous ones didn't count
because I was only there in time for the feast, never in time for the
ceremony!)
Credits have to go to two
very brave young ladies, Yen Li and Joyce. They drove us safely to the
wedding and home to Kuala Lumpur. Joyce had to drive in the dark and
rainy night. It was 1 am when we arrived at the office. For a few
moments, the familiar sight of the office felt so much like home! We
wondered if Edwin managed
to go for his second party...supposed to start 12 midnight. Yen Li had
to rush to her boyfriend's birthday party also at midnight. I went home
to catch my whole family up watching "10.5", a movie about
earth-quake. What a night!
