Of heat and cold feet

Got back yesterday, and Melbourne welcomed me with a stunning 39 degrees C. It's actually a darn good piece of news, that simply means Central Australia wont be any worse! Such a relieve to know that. 

Anyhow, sister's wedding is over. So many details to run through, but all in all it was very smooth and the wait for over a year and a half is finally over. Many relatives came to grace the ceremony and join us for dinner. Around 65 tables was booked for the dinner on the very same day where the groom came to picked the bride up. Gotta say it's my first time experiencing all that, alongside with 大妗公 guiding all the ceremony.

Speaking of which, of all things to go wrong, the 大妗公had forgotten to bring those tea cups over to the groom's house after the bride pick-up. Honestly we had God to thank, because just the day before this, my sister insisted that I should drive and remember the directions to my in-law's place, alongside with a funny turn of events in the morning on how I chose to get my hair done as opposed to the evening - I became the saviour of the day. Grabbed the tea cups and head right over. Took a wrong turn actually, but no matter, I just knew I had to go Puchong Jaya where all the shops are, and find CIMB bank. It's more than just mere coincidence as well, on how I talked to one of bridesmaid's husband and he mentioned CIMB bank is the landmark. Not to mention too on how the poolside party on Saturday completed with a fantastic and lovely weather, bearing in mind that the immediate days before and after the party had heavy downpour in the evenings. 

Me thinks this had everything to do with my awesome earth dragon luck =P. Sis mentioned this year is the dragon of the water element, and it's a tough year for a lot of people because according to feng shui, it's the most powerful one amongst all the permutation of chinese horoscopes and the 5 elements. I reign supreme! Anyhow we definitely have God to thank, for all the blessing and smooth sailing he had bestowed upon us. 

Dinner was hectic too because I had to count all the ang pao and make the payment. A lot of responsibility was placed onto my care, but given that I had ample time to get accustomed to it prior to the arrival of the day, I think I managed them pretty well =). 

Got back yesterday noon and boy, was that some serious travelling that took up so much time. No matter, GOLDCOAST tomorrow!
