bored bored bored bored oh so bored...alrighty let me pick up from where i left off..so last friday was alright..tons of performances during the giddha at singapore swimming club..seriously lots and lots of performances..and the hot song to perform at this point in time is kajra re..there were two or three performances of that song that night itself..crazy!!!

saturday night we went over to the groom's house for dinner and some noise-making..ladies singing, everyone else just sitting around enjoying their dinners laughing and chatting..children running all over the place(huge house).. very fun and lively atmosphere..best part about weddings! around 11.30pm we left the house and i took the mrt from kembangan to novena to meet charmaine..we were supposed to get on the same train heading to orchard as geri and max but since me and mimi were sitting facing the wrong direction and not even paying attention to which train was which we missed the train! hahaha was really quite funny! so we got on the next train and met max and geri at orchard and all the happy new year hugs were exchanged..then we headed towards indochine to wait for the rest..man was orchard chaotic..tons and tons and tons of people swarming all over the place with spray cans of foam and string..police were all over the place as well thank god..not that they could do much about the chaos..so the four of us were waiting outside indochine when we heard these screams from behind us so we turn and see kim, shaleen and treepti running towards us covered in foam! everyone started laughing and talking so loudly and trying to get the foam off them when another dude comes from behind and sprays max and treepti with some more foam(i had a narrow escape)! so everyone starts screaming and laughing again!! after a while we all calm down and wait for the rest(narin, aman and amarpreet) to arrive..so after they all get there i bid my adieus and went home to have as good a rest i could seeing as it was 2 am by the time i reached home and i had to wake up at 6am to get ready for the long wedding day!!

so sunday morning i manage to wake up although i'm so so so sleepy..we head over to the groom's house first and then pack off into 2 chartered buses to make our way to the bride's house for the milni(meeting between bride's and groom's families and exchange of gifts) and breakfast..huge house again..excellent breakfast!!!! there was yummy cake :) after that it was back to the buses and this time we headed to katong temple where the wedding was to be held..the wedding was attended by loads and loads of people..the prayer hall was packed and yet more and more people came..the ceremony was nice..the bride looked beautiful in a pink punjabi suit with an extremely heavy looking but ever so beautifully embroidered dupatta(scarf). after the ceremony we had lunch in the temple and then headed back to the groom's house to await the arrival of the bride..was quite a long wait and i was oh so tired and getting more and more tired by the minute do to my lack of sleep..we left for home a while after the bride arrived at the household..i managed to sleep for about an hour(soo wasn't enough) before i had to wake up and get myself ready for the reception at raffles town club..i knew i wasn't gonna be ready on time so my parents left first and i caught a ride with my aunt.

the ballroom was gorgeous and there was such an excellent variety of food and desserts! unfortunately i couldn't eat all that much as i was wearing a sari and it was tied so tight that it seriously limited how much i could put in my stomach..there were quite a few performances..all very very good as usual..mix of bhangra and hindi songs..the main bhangra performance was by sher-e-punjab..they dance really well and they did a medley of songs..it was really a pleasure to watch..very different from the usual bhangra performances..and of course a while after that they opened the dance floor wooo hoooo!! duh that's what i had been waiting for all along..so me and my cousins and my aunts and my mum danced and danced and danced!!

k so i thought that was it..reception over means that's the end of everything buuuut we were invited to dinner again at the groom's house the next night..monday night..so for the final time we all got together and had dinner and had our sing-song and had our conversations and had our laughs :) man was the entire wedding fun..it was just so cool to get together with so many family members we don't see often and make new friends and all that..memories memories memories!!

on tuesday i dragged max to meet up with my cousin's cousins from australia and 2 of their other friends from australia as well..we went to mustafa and bugis and had a lot of laughs..oh geri if only you'd woken up! oh and thanks so much max for coming along coz you know how shy i am! don't know what i would've done on my own! but actually they're so friendly and easy to talk to..made it all the better!

last night we went to the Ministry of Sound!!! been dying to go there! haha we lined up at like 8.30 or something like that just so that we'd be able to get in fast and get a table and all that..that place is massive and it is sooo cool! each room was like WOW! the decor was gorgeous..we spent most of our time in the r n b room which was small and soooo packed we had soo little space to dance and we weren't even on the actual dance floor..it was insane!!!! i had a lot of fun! we must must must go again..amarpreet, narin, and mimi khoo you have got to come too!

right i've gotta go eat pear! charmaine i'm looking forward to dinner tomorrow!
