My fiancee just told me her colleague had told her that there is a shop in Ang Mo Kio central selling the customary items. The other shop we know of is in Chinatown, Pices centre. (It is a very old shop on the second storey. It is made up of two shop units) I also heard that the stall attendants will educate wedding couples on the do’s and don’ts on the wedding day. So this is the major reason why we are going.

Some personal thougt: Up till now, we were too busy with our work. Plus, each of us is taking turn to fall sick. Sigh…we got to really take good care of our bodies and health. The journey together is still long…Lately, I also don’t know why I’m so uptight and anxious. My relative told me I looked skinnier…sigh..not a good sign…i’m already very skinny..now I have more headaches and nausea. Better take care of myself…>.< ?For my relatives who are reading this post...not to worried...and don't tell my mommy...i dont want her to be worried...

For Hong Kong wedding dinner, there are mahjong sessions prior to the actual dinner. Though the time may state 8pm, the dinner may start at around 10pm. (A “no-no” for Singapore’s wedding…normally we will complain it to be very late if the dinner starts at 8.30pm)

Guets may turn up as early as 6pm to play a few rounds of mahjong and it is common to see at least 6 tables of mahjong tables…the room becomes a mini-casino…:p If you don’t intend to play mahjong, it is safe to be there at about 8.30pm or 9pm.

But don’t be there later than 9pm because all guests have to take a mandatory photo-taking before the wedding dinner starts. Mandatory means COMPULSORY!!! (Very different from Singapore…which has picture taken from table to table. No wonder my future mother-in-law (FMIL) kept insisting a photo must be taken) All will take a photo under the “double-happiness” sign in the restaurant.

After taking the photos for everyone,?the waiters clear the mahjong tables and set the round tables for the banquet. ( In Singapore, round tables are laid as early as 6pm and the necessary decor done by 7pm)

The feast starts with:
1. a roast suckling pig (a symbol of the bride?s virginity)
2. shark fins soup
3.?sea cucumber
4.?steamed fish
5.?chicken or duck, and other dishes.
6. It ends with noodles and glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves.
7. Sweet red bean soup (for its lucky color) and
8. sweet buns follow up as desserts.

As the important day draws nearer,? my heart pound faster…my anxiety shoots up…my headache worsens…due to many reasons….

Not because I have a fight with my husband-to-be; not because I am having PMS; not because I get a scolding from my boss. The causes of bad day are:
– receiving many disapproved facial expressions
– never ending interrogative questions on a Saturday night
– being bombarded with a series of questions

Qn1: Gown
?Have you book an appointment with the tailor so that we can take a look at her designs? If I don?t like her designs, I still have to search for other designs? CAN YOU HURRY UP? Are you really THAT busy?… I don?t understand why there are so few gowns? designs. They?re just either spaghetti strap, tube or so low cut! How can I wear those?!… ?
