6 Days Since..
It's been 6 days since the wedding.. and I'm so relieved that it's all over! No more stress and worries.. heavenly!
The wedding went rather well despite glitches here and there.. I didn't get much sleep nor able to walk and breath normally till the 30th, on monday. Thanks to all the family members and close friends, we had a long lasting wonderful memories of the ceremony and the two dinners..
I would really like to convey my deepest gratitude to a few people over here, who'd selflessly lend a helping hand during, before and after the wedding:
My mum and my dad: Thanks to the both of you, we had a wonderful wedding dinner in Johor. I know how strung up and stressed you both were settling everything over there by yourselves. Thanks also for your understanding, that we both couldn't help much financially and in person as we both were trying to get things done over here!
My two wonderful bridesmaids - My sis Jolene and my sis Anna: Jo- Thanks for the helping hand on both the days.. you were wonderfully attentive and noisily fun to be around.. I'm really grateful to have such a wonderful mei in you!
Anna - Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!!! A million thanks couldn't convey my gratitude. You've taken sooooo many days off just to help me settle all the nitty gritty stuffs.. I'm so blessed to have another sister in you.. Know that you'll have all the help you need when it's your turn okie!
My wonderful cousins: YiQi, JingJing, YiWen, IRing, ILee, Ming, MeiLing, WeiShiong, JiaHer - without you guys, the wedding would never be so much fun. Thanks for all your supports. You guys travelled so far and wide just to accomodate me.. On top of that, you guys turned into impromptu emcees, photographer, videographer, usherer, and driver without as much as a grumble. Both me and Aaron are so extremely touched!
Aaron's wonderful band of brothers : 9 - Thanks for all the help on the montages! Because of us, you have to rush up and down, in and out... and as if that's not enough... you didn't get much sleep either.. *HuGz* (from Aaron)..
Faye, Rayson - Thanks for helping with the photographs and video.. *HuGz* from me.. :)
Noel, Chris S, Chris T, ShiXing, Dave, Vincent - You guys have to down cups of chilli juice, lemon juice, bittergourd juice and pure ribena just to help Aaron into my mum's house. Thanks also for being there during the dinner to help usher, being the emcees, settling the AVA, and helped Aaron downing more liquor. You guys are the greatest! HuGz!
Ah Beng and Marcus - You both have a wonderful looking Fits! And Marcus, your horn Rawks!! Lol..
To all of Aaron's and my relatives... who'd helped financially and spiritually. We have so many wonderful aunties and uncles.. who cares so so much for us.. Thanks and We Love You guys!!
And last but not the least... My Wonderful Hubby: I know how stressed you were the last few days befor the wedding. Having to settle all the montages and video well wishes from friends, and also the seatings and list of attendees for the dinner. I know I didn't help much as the days draws nearer and I grew more and more uptight.. but I really do want you to know that I do appreciate all that you've done and that I am really really happy with you.. you're right sweetie.. at the end of the day.. even if we don't have anybody else.. we still have each other.. and my wonderful family!!! LOL..
We didn't manage to break even over here in Singapore (we were not even close!) but both Aaron and I agreed we had the greatest time of our lives that night! Thanks everybody.. for making an appearance and lending your support on our special day!
We made a profit on the other hand over in Johor.. unfortunately.. we didn't pay for the dinner.. Lol.. money's all my dad's and my mum's. Of the 15 tables.. both Aaron and me only knew our relatives there.. All others were my mum's and dad's friends.. but their support and warm greetings were so sincere that you'd feel that you've known them all your life.. Thanks again.. we had a wonderful time..
I cried on both nights.. if anybody notice.. they were tears of joy.. On the 2nd night of the wedding, I met again my wonderful aunt who'd moved to Kelantan some years ago.. I missed her so much..
There, I met again my shushu and shenshen.. whom I've lost contact for ten over years and have just recently got back in touch..
My cousins and uncle and auntie travelled all the way from Penang just to witness our joy.. It's a wonder I didn't cry throughout the wedding.. LOL..
How wonderful the feeling is, to know that it was your wedding that draws your family ties so much closer..
All in all.. how do i rate my wedding? A 10/10.. simply because it's MY wedding.. I love everything.. from the chinois settings to the old fashion YUM SENG! It's a once in a lifetime thing.. call me old fashion.. but I would never miss it for the world..
So it's now back into reality.. me and Hubby's bent on settling all our debts before this years out.. To those of you who wanted to know when's Jr coming along.. well.. no plans for him/her so far.. we want to be in a better financial position first.. unless.. well.. accidents do happen.. LOL..

Girl, shu shu and shen shen are so glad to be at your wedding dinner in Johor. It was a pity we missed the wedding ceremony.
May 04, 2007 5:46 PMIt has been 13 to 14 years since we last saw you and you can't imagine the joy in seeing you again. Tears well in my eyes now as I write this and reflect on the only little girl (other than Jolene) whom I saw grow up calling me 'shu shu"
Girl and Aaron, our wish for both of you is everlasting happiness, peace, good health and long life.
I see for you blog that both of you are doing well and very happy together. This is great. Both of you are starting a new phase in your life. Practise tolerance, patience and understanding and this happiness will be with you always.
Take care and do stay in touch.
Your long lost shu shu
