September's Wedding

Last year, 4th of September, 2010, I was at JB with some of the Uni friends to attend a wedding ceremony.

This year, 4th of September, 2011, I was at Selangor, again, with some of the Uni friends, to attend another wedding ceremony.

We were at Selangor to witness the process where a boy turned into a man, to begin the second stage of his life. And he is Chiam Jia Wei, commonly known as Chiam among us who from Unimas.

It was more than just a wedding ceremony to us who attended the wedding. We met Chiam's friends, all his groomsmen, and some of them were very nice to us. When we reached at Klang KTM train station on 3rd of September, two of Chiam's friends, Guo Sheng, and Zhi Xing came to pick us (me, waiyee, yilin and sweetnee) to the hotel. And due to that ride, the four of us got to know the two of them a little bit, compared to the rest of the groomsmen. Practically, they were our drivers, picking us from the station to hotel, then from hotel to Chiam's house.

At the same night, we went to Chiam's house to join the family dinner fest before the wedding. There we met some of the members of the groomsmen, and there were supposed to be 9 of them, and 7 of them showed up. Surprisingly, 7 of the groomsmen were Chiam's friends since primary school. From the way they spoke to each others, we knew they were really close to each others. The other 2 were from Chiam's friends from Form 6.

There was this guy, Steven, the leader of the groomsmen, he is incredible in human networking. He talked to us like we knew each other for a long time, but that was the first time we met. The first thing he said to me was, "I saw u before, from facebook", i was just smiling, and later i was seriously suspicious about that, haha. We were dying laughing when Chiam brought his colleague to our table, and Steven said, "Hi, it had been awhile, my name is Steven". We thought he knew Chiam colleague, even Chiam and his colleague himself wondered for a second, "if he/i knew him before". Turned out, that was their first met, but Steven is the kind of guy good with ice breaking, breaks the walls between two strangers instantly. But he also full with craps!!!

Go Go Go!!!

As u can see from the picture above, the theme for the groomsmen was t-shirt and short pant, with sport shoes. Actually, they were wearing t-shirt printed with ANGRY BIRD, ya, angry bird was their theme, kind of funny looking at them put the t-shirt on, hahaha. I will skipped all the games they deal with, for my own sake, in the future!

Chiam was busy with his wedding, and Steven took over the responsible of taking care of us. One thing he used to say the most when we were there, three days was, "No worry, I had perfectly arranged everything!". He knew we dont have any transport to follow the Grooms team to the bride's house on the second day, he immediately said we could drive his car, and follow the team at the back, and he wasnt just saying so, because i was driving his car following the team on the second day!

Seriously, the four of us, were like the most precious guests, haha, like Steven said, he had arranged everything well and fine, and he was the one responsible of taking us during Chiam's wedding day, and day after that.

During the dinner, I got to know another groomsman, Yong Tat, who is working as an associate relationship manager at RHB Premier Banking, investment, he told me, haha. We didnt talk during the morning and afternoon, but during that dinner, he was sitting just two seats next to me, and he was very quiet and alone if compared to rest of the groomsmen we met. As for me, the girls were talking to themselves, taking pictures, i was quiet and alone as well, so i made the first step, that's rare! Then he told me that he moved to Klang year 2000, and didnt really remain in touch with the geng, until one or two years ago. That's why we can feel a gap between him and the rest of the groomsmen, excludes Steven, he was close to Steven, compared to the rest, haha. But Steven closes to everyone, that's what he good with, haha.

Taking pictures become a must during any wedding dinner, that is what i found out all these years, haha. We stayed at the restaurant for almost an hour just to take pictures, chatting, after the dinner. Well, after the dinner, all of us will be going to our own position, and that might be the last chance to take pictures, chat in real person with these newly met friends for the four of us. But everything will come to an end eventually, when the curtain closes, we back to where we belong.

That wasnt just a wedding ceremony to us, but it was a new and old friends gathering, quoted from Waiyee, haha.

Here by, I would like to thank the new friends who were being so kind to us when we were there for three days. Thank you.

And Chiam, happily ever after! And thanks for the invitation and u have a batch of good good friends!
