8 August 2008, Evening
We arrived in the church early and were surprised to find a handful of people hanging around Han’s. The Prayer Rally does not start until 8pm and these people are actually spending 3 hours waiting for the Prayer Rally to start. The only time I am willing to spend 3 hours hanging around waiting for anything to start is my vow renewal ceremony : )
After waiting for 2 hours, Larry was the first to turn up. Larry is super on. He is always the first to turn up for any kind of cell function. He is also likely to be the first person to put up his hand and cheong into the battlefield, while the rest of us stand around and see him get hit by bullets! No lah, of course we are not such people, right, SA846! We actually politely applause while he got hit by the bullets…. Hahahahhaha! Just kidding! No offence!
The guests start to trickle in… One of my best pals, Zoe, managed to reach the church, carrying a 15kg sleeping toddler, congratulate me and left before 8pm because she needs to catch a bus to Redang at 9pm : o !!! I am so touched! She could have said, “I am sorry, I am not able to make it” but she came all the way from the west to TCC to say congratulation!!!. She is also the one who gave me the piano (eh, not a toy piano hor!) at home. Not that you have to give me a piano to qualify to be my best pal. Diamonds, gold and cars are fine too ; )
Zoe is the one who lead me to Christ and she is also the one to show me that as long as you are willing to ask, God will give you. When I first met her, she does not even have a boyfriend. So, I gave her an oh-so-mighty lecture about fertility rate, the bliss of marriage etc. Anyway, she was too polite to say, “Shut up, b****” She just told me coolly that the Lord will lead her to her Mr Right. True enough, within a year, she was married.
Xiaohui came too. Hui is my secondary school friend since secondary school (duh!). She knows people. She knows my father, my mother, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my sisters-in-law, my brother, my sister, my daughters etc. She also knows Beng, Beng’s friends and Beng’s friend’s friends. I tell you she is scary. I told Hui that my sister is going to marry this guy named Eric Lim. She said, “Oh, he is my high school classmate!” When I told her that we are going to Adelaide to live, she gave me the name and address of one of her close friend, Amber who was staying in Adelaide at that time. We did end up staying under the same roof with Amber and she took great care of us. So, I tell you Xiao Hui knows everybody. If you see her, don’t tell her my name, she will tell you that she knows me ; p
Ok, I don’t know what is going on… I am supposed to tell the story of my wedding vows renewal ceremony, but I end up tell my life story. Ok, since it is time to knock off, ; p I am going to stop here.
To be continued……
No lah… that Eric Lim lah… he still has not passed me the photos for the ceremony to upload onto the blog. Since, he is so naughty, I am going to let you on a secret of his wife. That is, his wife’s sister is very pretty, ok!
;-p
