Lots to say but lack of enthusiasm to say it. Heh.

Effie's wedding
Finally, the day had come... for me to meet up with all of Dan's cousins, and for my mom to meet Dan's parents. I was more nervous abt the latter, quite obviously since i've already gone through meeting up with his relatives in Taiping.. Naturally, meeting up with his other first cuzs that i haven't met wasn't as nerve wrecking as to see the outcome of the parental meeting. Gasp!!

However, things turned out allright. They seemed happy to have meet each other. Aunty siap ajak mom to meet up to discuss abt us pulak tu. Heheh... Sayangnya, they sat quite far apart, so it was quite difficult for them to chat. But i think the meeting went fine. Thank God for that.

As for the wedding... well.. it was allright. The usual ballroom wedding. Dan and i was to help with the registration as well as presenting the bunga telur to the VIPs who were invited for the menepung tawar. Chum n her sis, Adik were the bestman and the bride's maid. The mcs, Taufik latif n sarinah mentioned all of our names with a little note that all of us are getting married soon as well... Hmmphmm.. now that everyone in the hall knows, agak2nya, hafta invite everyone ke? Hehe.. not for me to worry.. it'll be his side's wedding... Let them worry about that.

That aside, the favors for the guests were unusually creative. Instead of the usual bunga telur/candies, guests were given small containers of strawberry jam instead. Freshly brought down from Cameron Highlands, where Effie's family lived. Very nice!

So there.. i've met all his other cuzs... and my mom had met his parents. Everything went well. Shall i breath a sigh of relieve now?? Hmm.. with the engagement and wedding on the way.. i think not. :(

Pre-wedding tension
I never knew that engagements and weddings could be such a torture. I'm so stressed out about the whole thing PLUS this unfinished masters doesnt help!!.. Pening aaahh... Hantaran, jemputan.. yadda..yadda... I thought weddings are supposed to be a joyful occasion, not something the getting-married should be stressed out with.. i guess the only few people who would embrace weddings with joy would be the vendors: caterers, beautician, wedding consultant... Grrrrr.... If only everything can be paid for by dried leaves. Hahahahaaaaa.
