Commitment For Life!

Ah... It was a hectic day yesterday. My uncle (actually not really my uncle), made a life time commitment. Yup, u guess right, he got married. Actually to me, marriage is a good & bad thing. Good: Get to settle down with the person you love & getting ready to plan what's ahead together with your wife or husband. Bad: Freedom is forever locked! ;( haha... If my girlfriend caught me saying this, I'm doomed. haha... wait a minute, she's reading my blog... haha.. oh well.

Alright, my hectic day started on 28th February, at around 10pm. We were at my uncle's mother's house planning tmrw's big event. I was handed the job of the groom's car follower (haha, get it? the car at the back following the main bride's car)... Their family followed the 'pantang', so when it was midnight, my uncle's father combed the groom's hair using a red comb.

I found groundnuts, leaves & 'longan' on my uncle's new bought bed, which is also part of the 'pantang' stuff... haha. When i asked why, they tell me not to ask too much. So, don't ask my why, bcoz i hav no idea why.

I went home around 3 in the morning & went back to my uncle's place at 6am. My uncle was damn nervous.
That's my uncle, Chung with his nephew, Duncan (reminded me of Tim Duncan. haha...)

We set our journey to the bride's place & things did not get pleasant when we reach there. They were asking all the males attended to do some ridiculous favours. First, singing the 'Negaraku', then we're suppose to eat an apple, a freaking huge one. haha... Things were damn hilarious & funny. Finally the ladies gave up, but they still ask for 'ang pows', not just one but eight. haha...

Both of the bride & groom were escorted to the car with a red umbrella. When both of them arrived at the groom's house, they are suppose to give an 'ang pow' to the person who opens the door for them, & in this case it was Joshua.

That's one freaking huge family. haha...

The bride & groom were giving tea to the elders & their brothers & sisters as the married couple were given 'ang pows'. Soon later, it was the unmarried's turn. Kids or even adults who is not married were given 'ang pow'. I had my share too... hehe...


That's me standing behind the groom & my sis behind the bride.

At noon, the cater arrived & during this time my battery was flat. Not mush stuff happened, only eat eat eat... haha... We called it a day at around 2pm, & we were to meet at 6pm for dinner at Holiday Inn. It's truly a hectic day. hehe... but I'm truly happy for my unc. He had found his happiness... All the best! Peace!
