TWO WEDDINGS IN TOW

This is an overdue posting as I have been caught up with a lot of things lately. But the blogging posting never left my mind. It's there, residing in between the crevices of my nerves and brain cells, waiting for time to give me the opportunity to put up the overdue pictures and write ups.

Attended two weddings in a week. One invitation came from an old neighbour, Mak Besar, and the other form cousin Shap whose nephew got married to a Brunei girl. It seemed the couple met on the Nippon Maru boat, which hosts international students for an exchange programme. So here's the classic Love Boat marriage where couple met on a boat cruise and like the fairy tale ending it culminated with the exchange of wedding bangs.

While the former wedding had the Hindi beat with guests turning up in glittering and heavily beaded and sequined Punjabi suits to swelter the heat of the day, the later had a lot of Japanese guests to moshi-moshi the invitation. The Japanese guests were so enthralled by the wedding that they immortalised every activity or significance of the wedding event with their digital cameras and videos. The Bruneians guests thronged the venue of the wedding, a community hall and painted the whole place with their purple outfits.

I was busy meeting up with relatives and friends who turned up at both weddings. Nothing beats the good old times of catching up with friends and relatives and noticing how we all have survived through the test of time.
