Yet another wedding

Last Sat, went to help out for another couple's wedding - Vic and LT. Both of them are my diver friends. Morning, the usual jip san leong stuff... bride's sister LS thought up all those games:
  1. With hands tied, use mouth to place post-its notes on specified body areas
  2. Wasabi applied on top of our lips, have to lick it. Then groom had to lick the unfinished left overs (damn disgusting... haha)
  3. Gangnam style dance (yeah... already expected)
In the afternoon, became driver to send couple to hotel. Evening, part time IT support to help play slides and videos on projector. CC was the mastermind organizer, D and LS emcees.

Event went well except minor hiccups on the alcohol supply. Very happy to see the loving couple and all the happy and happening guests.

Note: Frankly speaking, after going through so many marriages of my friends, I don't think I could do it. So much preparations has to be done... not to mention, I don't think I could find someone for myself in this lifetime.

Yeah... failed...

其实我真的没有什么期望,就是希望能帮助并看到你的成长,找到你的幸福。

但是你要选择这样,我也没办法。

Jip San Leong

One of my best friend got married last Sunday (although they have done their ROM few months back). So I was tasked with becoming his bestman plus hengdai for the morning "jip san leong" ceremony. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was also tasked to be the wedding car driver since the supposed driver fell sick, not to mention back up cameraman because the cameraman almost couldn't make it due to food poisoning. So my role = bestman/hengdai/driver/backup cameraman... LOL

After some kelam kabut due to lack of planning, our departure time was delayed from 10:15am to about 11am. Then on the way to pick up the bride, we hit another snag - groom forgot to bring flowers (left it on the table at home). So one of the car had to make a u-turn to fetch it. Finally after all the unplanned incidents, we got to the hotel. Seriously, Empire's elevator is so so so slow, given that it's such a new building.

Then began our encounter with the opposition force (bride's jimui's). First thing they requested is the gangnam style dance. Oh man... seriously? I think this is gonna be like the theme for a lot of "jip san leong" challenge for some while. The other hengdai's all don't wanna do it, so no choice, I had to do it.

Next they make us all eat spicy nasi lemak with added chili padi. That was quite a joke really... they absolutely underestimated our capacity for spiciness. C'mon, regular chili padi? "Sup sup sui" lah.

Next up was pushups, and then while on the floor, use mouth to pick out some candies from a plate. Easy peasy, 2 hengdai completed the task in no time. And then they want 5 different types of notes to be stuck on a big love sign. No big deal.

Not sure if there is supposed to be another game or two... but the plan was foiled by me. As the photographer was entering the room, I blocked the door from closing, and then together with the hengdai we pushed through the door. LOL.

Finally, friend was "forced" to read out some conditions and sign the paper, and once done, mission accomplished.

Hahaha haven't been doing this for a while... quite fun indeed.
