woke up very early today! 6.30am. to prepare to attend my cousin ( i think)'s wedding!
we left at about 8.35pm to go grandmother's house... so we reached there quite early (supposed to reach there at about 9.30am), about 9.05am. luckily, we reached early, because the tea ceremony is pushed forward to about 9.15 9.20am. we children stand there watching the tea ceremony. it was quite okay... then went to eat some noodles as breakfast. after that, took some photos (wonder will the photos be given to us?) and the newly-weds went off to other places. so the adults sat at the table talking while we the children sit on the sofa, watching tv and playing cards. played till 11.25am and we started to set off to M hotel. reached there at about 11.55am. then sat there waiting for the lunch to start. i think the cocktail start at 12, because there were some waiters and waitresses there to serve us drinks. drank a lot, at grandmother's house and during the cocktails. not alcoholic drinks yet. YET. haha. waited quite long outside the banquet suite. we went in at around 1330 only. then there was video-screening. but the quality of the sound is really terrible. not sure if its the file or the sound system problem. its like there was a cut every 3sec. or every 1sec. and a song was also playing. then it goes "zizz zizz" something like that. haha. very very terrible. i hope its not the file problem or i am saying my own family.
anyway, after the video, the newly-weds came out... then after a while the lunch started.
8-course lunch. the first dish's entry into the banquet suite is very grand. lightings and sounds. wow. lol. but sounds nice, don't really taste nice overall. (did i just say the hotel's name? eh. )first-some appetizer i think. there was crispy prawn ( i ate although i can't eat prawns, must eat! lol. ), sushi, i think its popiah, and others. quite little potion. and the prawn is not bad. but after eating the prawn, my throat became itchy. aww... then my bro, sis and i ordered red wine. hehe. not very nice. the flavour is not there. i am not a expert wine-drinker, perhaps it is supposed not to have any flavour or smth... well. not sure abt that. then here comes the second dish-sharks' fin. hmm. sharks' fin was there. but the taste was not there. third-mushroom with broccoli. and the great thing is here. when the dish comes, i asked my bro what is this. and the waitress heard me and she replied abalone with broccoli. it doesn't even look like abalone at all. the colour is darker and the 'abalone' is thinner. and the menu says its mushroom with broccoli. nice nice. i want to laugh but its rude to laugh in front of the waitress. fourth-sea bass. again, it is not up to expectation. no taste. i think its not sour enough or smth. the newly-weds make their way in again to drink the nuptial wine. fifth-roast chicken. hmm. not bad. the skin is crispy. one of the best dishes so far. and the waitress gave me a drumstick! haha. sixth-prawns with some vegetables. but this time i didn't eat the prawn. don't look very nice to me. haha. the vegetables is not nice also. seventh-noodles. as usual, confirm will have noodles. quite dry. last and final dish-mango pudding. smell like mango but don't really have mango taste. the small cubes of mango don't taste like mango. perhaps, the red wine covered the taste or smth. then our family and my mother's brother and his wife sat down to rest for a while and we were the last to leave the banquet suite. took a last photo and left.
overall, well, i would think its okay even though the food was ...
i think it is my second time attending a wedding. quite fun. i think the next wedding is my mother's third brother's daughter's. july next year bah. yeah. another wedding to attend. haha. fun!
everyone get together as a family. nice nice. :)
and i think i drank too fast. my head is spinning now. argh.
