Shiyi’s Wedding at Bliss Garden Restaurant

The first wedding I attended for the year of 2012! :) It has been so long since the last time I met Shiyi. In fact, this is the first meet up since graduation! Freaking 3.5 years! How time flies.

I learnt that she had her ROM back in 2009, and this wedding is for their marriage renewal. They have been married for more than 2 years but they looked so full of energy and love, like those newly wedded couple :)

The dinner was held at a restaurant at Singapore Expo. I started my trip from home at 6.15pm and managed to reach there on time.

I know Shiyi has changed quite a lot since university (from bob-hair-forever to feminine long hair lady), but I was still startled when I saw her wedding photography. She looks like an actress!

I was seated at table no#14. It was 7:30pm when I went to the ballroom. The event was planned to start at that time, but then… well: I was the first one on my table. Lucky for me, I can select any seat I want :) The table was actually really good, like only one table away from the stage after the VIP.

Later on, I managed to meet my Computer Science’s fellas – Lynn and Hai’an :D It was a really nice meet up. We started the catch up around marriage topic. Hai’an just got married two months ago. Hui Min was just married couple of days ago. Lay Sum is going to get married in next couple of weeks. And now we’re sitting at the marriage of Shiyi. It was really overwhelming for one-minute talk. Took me awhile to absorb and start recalculating how old I really am. After that, we also chatted about work. Apparently, both of them are also sticking with their first job. Phew! Finally something which I can say "Me, too!"

Happy to be among the geeks

The dinner started at 8.30pm, after a grand appearance of the couple. They come walking and singing at the same time. This is the most talented singer couple I ever seen. Their voices are wonderful!

Apart from the wonderful performances, the food deserved a special mention, too. All of the courses are nyummy, but the cereal prawn was really their best menu, in my opinion.

The dinner ended at almost 11pm after a nice warm yam dessert. I walked back to MRT feeling super full, and reach back home at around 11.45pm :) Didn’t have much energy after all the laughter, so I went to sleep early.

Feel good to catch up with CS friends!
