Auspicious day
09092006 sure was an auspicious day for me. :D
I've just bought my new Sony Ericsson W810i in white (it's a limited edition).
On the way to Nikko hotel for Kay's wedding reception
Today is also the wedding of my highschool mate, Kaylyn, to her husband Wei Chung.
I guess one of the reasons why they’re getting married on this day is because of the 9 – 9 combination. Chinese likes the sound of the 9th day of the 9th month, it sounds auspicious as it denotes everlasting union.
rose petals are SooOo romantic!
Only Yakhsha, moi, and Jun at the wedding. The rest of the Amanians couldn't make it. They are all scattered everywhere - Melbourne, UK, and US. We missed you gals! It's just not the same without you here.
Yakhsha & i
Me with our class drama queen, Jun (fyi, she loves the cam more than i do!)
We were given origami cranes as favour. It so matches Kay's Japanese theme.
Cranes are supposed to symbolise friendship

Here comes the bride..all dressed in the groom's family heirloom. Wei Chung's grandma used to be a kimono maker. This kimono has been passed down for generations. Wei Chung's mum (who's a Japanese) gave a thank you speech in nihongo as quite a lot of the guests present were nihon jin.
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish both Kay and her hubby a very wonderful walk together as man and wife. And may the Lord bless the two of you with a wonderful home filled with love, joy and peace.
Such a beautiful kimono. Look at all the intricate details! Totemo kirei desu.
Kay's cousin was one of the MCs for the night. She serenaded us with a lovely Japanese song.
We finally get to have a moment with the bride. It's so difficult to catch up these days, esp with Kay working in NZ.
What are weddings without these ice-carved swans? Classic man!
Both Kay and her hubby are doctors in Kiwiland.
It was a most grand event. I’ve never seen so many doctors under one roof before. Since both Kay and her husband are doctors, naturally a big chunk of their friends are of similar profession.
And since our table is like just right beside the doctors’ table, Jun and I joked about faking a fainting spell so that a cute doctor might come and rescue us…muahahaha

On the way to the restroom, Jun, Yakhsha and i discovered another wedding being held at the next ballroom. Oh gosh, it’s got such a fairy-tale like theme.
Doesn't this look like a "winter wonderland" to you?
It looks like the Malays find 09092006 an auspicious day too!
The 3 of us couldn't resist taking a picture of this wonderful theme. We felt as if we were gatecrashing the wedding cos the photographers assumed we were guests there and snapped our photos too! Can't imagine the couple browsing through the photos and wondering who these 3 women are. Gatecrashers!!
Yakhsha & Mokhsin, lemme know when the auspicious day is ya! :D
