Merry Christmas one and all! (before u say anything… let me remind u that there are 12 days of Christmas
)
So, what have I been up to this Christmas? Nothing much really… the usual stuff. House hopping on Christmas Eve for food… church on Christmas morning… oh… and lunch together. Most years, the Tiongs also invite us over to their house for buffet, singing, fellowship etc… etc… but this year, they went on holiday. (I wanna go holiday oso!!
)
Anyway, it was a good thing… coz this year, Nachammai got married!!! Her wedding reception was held on Christmas night at the Royal Kedah Club. Wonderful eh? The first one of the bunch to tie the knot.
Best of all was that many of us were back for the hols… great opportunity for a reunion! Goodness knows when will be our next? … or an even bigger question… WHO will be next? Hahah… Nachammai makes such a beautiful bride… I haven’t seen her since we got our SPM results I think! That’s like… 6 years? As for the rest, I have managed to meet up with them at least once or twice when I was back for hols.
They all ‘pakat’ to wear punjabi suits for the wedding… for me, it was really a last minute decision. I don’t have one myself, neither did I have the time to go borrow one. My sister’s was too small, and my mom’s was too big… dig dig dig deeper into my mom’s wardrobe… and I found one that my aunt bought for her in India. Just the right size for me… but rather shiny… coz there were soooooooooo many sequins!! I was so afraid that I would be shinier than the bride… HAHAH! But I found out later that I can never outshine an Indian bride… she has waaaaaaaaaaaaay more sparkly, dangly jewellery on her. LOL. Food was yummy… coz it was Indian food. Yaye. I like! There was Indian music, a sax player, a few singers and a keyboardist to entertain the guests. The whole reception was a pretty simple one. Not too many speeches and all. Short and sweet.
