Totally Exhausted

Back from Batam. The dinner was pretty expected. My family was assignd to sit near the speakers again. Sigh. All the karaeoke singing wasnt as bad as i thought it wld be cuz the guest seems to be alot more shy than the previous dinner.

The day started early in the morning at 10am when everyone gatherd at harbourfront to take a ferry to batam. I dont get seasick but i dont like the feeling in the ferry, bumpy and wobbly.

Then, we went out for lunch aft checking in. Lousy. Most of the dishes had fish in it. There was only a dish of meat, chicken, and 2 veggies. Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish!

Then, its time for make up! LoLx. My cousin (the groom's little brother) drove us gals to their (the groom's older sisters) stylist.

The dinner was held in the ballroom of our hotel, so we cld take our time. I helpd out at the reception, give out doorgifts, sign the guestbook, give them their assign tables.

Finally, the dinner started. Slow Loud Smoky. My cousin (my oldest cousin) decided to perform, the first and only singer for the night. There's this custom in indo wedding dinners that u can give Ang Baos for the singers for any reasons. For my cousin's performance, only we gave him Ang Baos (including the bride and groom).

There was this China man who went up to sing some China song. " Zhong Guo Xing" or something like tat. After the song he added that he is proud to be a China man and welcome us to visit China. I was like 'What The Hell?' Some patriotic China (mayb drunk) man on stage. He kept calling us 'Tong Bao', he was Soooo close to becoming a 'Tong Zhi Men'. Freaky.

At 12midnight, the guest started leaving. It was until 1am when the ballroom cleared, and there was the tea ceremony. The Singapore relatives did not attend the wedding ceremony cuz it was on a weekday and we had to make it up aft the dinner. Then its photo time! My cousin(the groom) was totally drunk, they had to force water down him to wake him up a little. The Groom side had more relatives, we had to squeeeeeeze to fit the camera. Took the camera men at least half an hour to fit us in. Phew! It was 2am by the time I return to my room. Shagged.

The "next" morning, woke up at 9+. Realli dont feel like getting up for breakfast. Ate until 11 and sat there chatting until 12. Went up packing and got ready to check out. Had lunch at the hotel's restaurant and left for the jettiii.
This is how I spent the weekend in Batam.
