Newly Wed.. almost
Reason for the title is that the second banquet is on this coming Sunday! We just had the first one in Ho Chi Minh city on 22 July 2007. Its great, with a big fanfare. "Cinderella" carriage, 20 restaurant staff as brides maid, huge party poppers, live video feed for guests as we alight from the carriage and do our march-in on red carpet. Reminds me of the Golden Horse award stars arrival when I watch the video now.
My family and friends were awe-struck. This could never have happened at home, unless Im loaded. I had a good time, no stress at all, and my family enjoyed it. The language barrier during the customary session turn out to be hilarious on video.
I had my bachelors' night last Friday. Going back to Zouk after a 9 year absence is a walk down memory lane. The 6 of us were reminiscing on which platform we used to dance on and which songs were played as we walked on the empty dance floor before the crowd arrived. Its like a group of retirees returing to their school compound. Its not that we spend lots of time dancing and drinking away during NS days. Its just that those were the things we can only do at that point of our lives and it feels good doing it with the same gang after all these years. And we met more of our unit mates at Velvet. I cant believe they are still chionging after all these years. Its a clean bachelors night out, no strippers or girls, but a night of recollections. A kind of "been there, done that" feeling.
Wedding in Vietnam was a bang, getting set for the Singapore version.
