Every time November and December comes, it seems David and I get wayyyy more wedding invites than any other months of the year. On 21st of November, I took a drive down to Melaka for a former colleague’s wedding. Ijay and I go way back! We both joined Sony in 2003 as management trainees in the Procurement department. Yea, my first job was in a manufacturing plant, hooray. It was my first time at a Baba & Nyonya wedding, and I must say what an eye opener!

Last weekend on the 28th, was a very special day for my former colleague as well. I met Mei Li in Marcus Evans (my second job) and I think we clicked better after we both left ME! A bunch of us former workmates helped her out with her wedding planning including Josie who played the role of wedding coordinator, Grace who was shoulder to cry on/listener during the planning process and yours truly played emcee at her wedding dinner. Nerve wrecking especially when I had to yell “yam seng”. But I pulled through!

Look who was chillin’ with me and keeping me calm at Mei Li & Lye Keat’s wedding? Eva, Grace’s lil honey pie

This weekend on Dec 5th we’ll be heading down to Singapore for part 2 of Mei Li’s wedding, this time we’re attending to give emotional support. I hope we  have time to do some Christmas shopping *fingers crossed*! It’ll be our first time flying Firefly and I’m surely going to review how the ride went.

Come next weekend on Dec 13th will be dinner #4. This time my colleague/office clown/TVB drama supplier will be tying the knot with his long time girlfriend. Max and I had a rocky workmate relationship when he first joined the company but as weeks passed and as he let his guard down, he’s one of the best colleagues I’ve ever had and I really enjoy his company (although 50% of the time he can be quite annoying!!). We’ve traveled to numerous events together and he’s really like a father figure to us girls in the office.

Final wedding of the year falls on Dec 26. This one revolves around a very close family friend that we’ve known for more than 10 years. Fook Ming will soon be my neighbour too as he’s going to be moving into the Lagoon Terraces, and we move into Lagoon Villas in 2012!

What a marathon of weddings!
