Janice & Chong Meng's Wedding

Congrats to the newly wed couple! Attended their wedding ceremony on the 30th December for tea ceremony and 6th December for the wedding dinner. As usual, Chinese has their own culture for every wedding and I guess the tradition never change since last time. A day before the tea ceremony, we have the bachelor's night dinner held at home and the next day is the tea ceremony.

On the 30th Nov morning, woke up early and get ready to go to the bride's (Janice) house. Everyone is excitingly waiting for the bridegroom's (Chong Meng) arrival. And there's one tradition which I'd like to share with everyone. I'm born in the year of Tiger and the pantang-larang goes like this.."Those who're born in the year of Tiger and Dragon must not face the bridegroom or look at him. We can only stand at one corner and peep at his arrival..hahha!" And the bridegroom gotta give those who born in the year of Tiger and Dragon angpows. How lucky huh! ;)

Look at this cute boy. It's Lachlan..Alex's nephew. Actually it was supposed to be his bro, Lucas, who opened the car door but I guess he was not in a good mood for that..hehhe! I dont know what's the tradition of opening the car door but I know there's always gotta be someone who must open the groom's car door. Hmm..why cant the groom open the car door by himself?? I think I'll ask my future husband to open by himself and save up on the angpow..hahhha!

Most of ChongMeng's friends are badminton players and I guess you guys should know one or two famous players in the photo. (L-R) ChongMeng's bro, KooKienKeat, Anthony, JeremyGan, TanBinShen, OngSoonHock and LeeWanWah. Sounds familiar to you? Hehhe I think most of you should know KooKienKeat and LeeWanWah..the famous doubles national player. And on that day, there's just more than only badminton skills needed in order to satisfy the bridesmaids.

First game: One of them are asked to finish up the whole bottle of Coca-Cola using the straw provided. Actually they make holes at the straw which makes it difficult for them to suck out the drink in the time period given. The first person who performed was Koo Kien Keat, finishing the whole can of Coke.

Couldnt really remember the sequence of the game. But one of the game is that they gotta use the super huge and super small badminton racquet to bounce the marshmallow and to be received by another friend using their mouth. It was quite a tough job. In the court, those badminton players only need to hit the shuttlecocks but now..shuttlecocks are replaced by marshmellows. The boyfriend was asked to demo to them how the game goes..LOL

They succeed in that game but next they were asked to brush their teeth with WASABI!!

Hahha their expressions! Some of them were smart. They only brush the front teeth and some stupid ones brush their teeth in and out with the wasabi. I think wasabi will give them a nightmare and perhaps Japanese food is a big no-no! Hehhe..

And lastly the funniest game of all! The KISSING game! A transparent paper is prepared and those bachelors were asked to put on the red lipstick. Then they were asked to kiss with one partner with the transparent paper in between!

Hahahhahaha! They were pretty lucky that there's no reporters on that day..otherwise this will be published to give Malaysians a big laugh on our national players. They are asked to collect 40 kisses on the transparent paper and they did it!

Oh ya..there's one part for the groom. He was asked to rap a short poem regarding of Janice and his bachelors was rapping the background music of "Yo..yoyo..yo..yo!" LOL! After all the tough games, the bridesmaids allowed the groom to enter the bride's room and thus followed by the tea ceremony.
