Family Affairs

I was at my cousin, Jenny's solemnization ceremony cum buffet lunch on Saturday, at Carlton Hotel. Finally she has decided to settle down for good with her long time boyfriend, Ryan (now cousin-in-law) after a good 12 years of courtship. Seen them together during their poly days since I was a kid, so thats really really very long. But.. the actual chinese marriage ceremony will take another 2 years later and they claimed that "they wanted to wait for me to graduate so that they can get big angbao from me." It's ridiculous! I am the younger one and I should be the one getting the angbao from them leh. hahaha!

The funniest thing was my por por (granny in Hainanese) asked my mum when would be my turn. Gosh... but I know por por meant well and hopefully she can be there to witness her next granddaughter to get married.

Finally... after 12 years of courtship?

Majority of the relatives invited were from Jenny's maternal family. The paternal family only took up one table (out of four). My aunt, uncle and mum couldnt resist asking them one very important question in their mind the moment the newly weds dropped by our table. "eh.... what's your marriage cert number? We want buy 4D before the betting centre close." Old habit... hard to change.
