it was a Grrreat Weekend

A colleague's wedding and a BBQ get-together at Karyn's place !

It was a colourful and HOT wedding. the sun was out and high.. well, looking on the bright side, a sunny day is better than a rainy one. Rain just spoils celebration..

We did a convoy of 4 cars to Bandar Baru Bangi to see our dear colleague , Yati. It is true that they say a bride is always the prettiest.. she was such a doll ! Although it wasnt my first time attending a Malay wedding, it's the first where I get to participate in part of the ceremony. All of us queued up to take turns with the 'merenjis air mawar' bit. and then all gathered on the "pelamin' for a group picture with the lovely bride and groom.
For lunch, it was a simple but yummy fare of nasi minyak, rendang, ayam masak merah and vegetables. Much simpler compared to the chinese style of buffet or 10 course dinner.
We left the wedding bout 2pm, after receiving our 'berkat' which is a small doorgift for the guests.

With Zhabo's driving, she got us back to Kepong in no time!At Carrefour,we got the ingredients for our Mashed Potato, Fruit Salad and ambitiously a chocolate cake ! ( obviously, that didn't happen)
With the women shopping style, we only got home bout 5.30, so much for the thought of resting a while before we start slaving in the kitchen.
We worked non stop for 2 hours in the kitchen, well actually the 2 women took an hour just to mash the potatoes.. tsk tsk tsk. and constantly arguing if they should add milk or butter. and in the end, they added both, plus mayonaise. hmm.. it was really a eat at your own risk dish !

Reached Karyn's house at 8+, and the food was all sizzling on the pit. yum ! after the rounds and rounds of food out came the Bailey's, Vodka, and Malibu. and the rest was history ! Someone was the main star for the night.. hehe.

It was a great get together, and everyone had lotsa fun.. well i did. and lotsa colour on my face as well.. Darn..and ppl think i'm drunk already.

got home at 3am, and terus tumbang on my bed d.. of cos.. i dragged myself to the showers first.

thought of the day : why is everyone getting married already?
