Wah, this occasion really special, you know?

10 years ago, I kinda helped this couple get together when they were mere teenagers. Today, both are already doctors, and still one of the nicest couples I have ever known.

And yes, Wenwei and Huina finally walked down the aisle over the weekend.

I was invited to both weddings(Singapore and JB) since I was tasked with the awful awesome role to be their emcee…. well, only for the mandarin part, of course.

Of course, I have received responses from people who were like, “Er… you speak cheeenaaaaahhh meh?”

Or, the meaner ones, like Norman, would say, “Wah lau!?! What in the hell were they thinking? They are allowing you to screw their wedding like that?”

And during rehearsals, I had cheekier improvised my own version of “JB style emceeing” which was so fabulous that the groom had issued a threat serious enough for me not break into fake JB accent on stage.

Well, I don’t think I react well to an entire bottle of alcohol, thus I behaved myself on stage.

And the wedding over the 2 days were tiring,  but wonderously awesome. I caught up with people I haven’t met in years, and getting to know people who had been acquaintances for the past 20 years(cough, and even see the bare butt of someone from mirror’s reflection, and OHMYFREAKINGGOSHPLEASETELLMEIDIDN’T the cough kkj of someone from someone else’s computer. HAHAHAHAHA!).

I hink I am becoming one of the chaps.

It was… nice(the catching up!). Tiring like hell though.

Cos the day before the Saturday’s wedding, I was having my usual mahjong night with the others(wah my biggest winning ever in my mahjong career – $420), and I had thought I would perhaps sleep in late and wake at 5pm.

I checked my email before I slept and realised meet up time is 2pm lor!! I only fell asleep at 7am-ish?

And all are a good bunch of people who know how to have fun.

I was invited for the religious ceremony the next day, which I was really hoping to skip to get more rest(I had to wake up at 8am after sleeping at 2.30am the night before! On a weekend!), but it was honestly the sweetest part of the wedding.

I swear I was on the brink of tearing.. and I know one day, I will one day want to let me dad give me away in a church, and I even already thought of the pastor I would like to have around to officiate my wedding.

It was… awfully sweet.

And I can only imagine my own, if I ever do… you know, get hitched.

“When the bride comes in and she makes her giant grand entrance, I like to glance back at the poor bastard getting married. Cause even though I think he’s an idiot for willingly entering into the last legal form of slavery, he always looks really, really happy.”

Thanks both, for the invitation for the ceremony, it meant a lot to me.

Much pictures and stories to share, one of which is like how when I was ferried to the restaurant in JB yesterday(wah lau, the jitters could kill me, to speak in front of 1000+ people), TTY started talking about my blog, and Wenwei and Andrew were amused.

Then, when the reception started evening when I was running around and getting my preparations done before going on stage… someone came up to me, “You are Ting of joewei.net?”

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In JB!!! SO SHY!!!

*Waves* Hi there! I am very shy in person, really. But it was great meeting you

And I think I got overzealous with the yam sengs. Hahaha.

And I survived the 2 nights without screwing their wedding up! Thank God!

You have no idea how nervous I was, trying so hard NOT to screw their big days up. Well, you know I am just prone to… mistakes. Hurhur. In fact the first day they say I can try voiceover professionally(or those sleazy chatlines.. you know, no need see faces one hahaha), but I decided it is only because they are all bananas!

Oh the jazz band has such good rapport that it helped with our emceeing last night. Whee!

And here’s wishing the lovely couple to many more drunk nights ahead, lotsa bliss, plenty of happiness, and a big family(eh, go give birth to a future male doc for my Minibean to date next time!
