(Taking a brief break from my Kuching posts to blog about this happy event that I attended on Wednesday last week, the 8th of June…)
I certainly was most delighted to receive an invitation to the wedding of an ex-student of mine, the son of a friend and a very distant relative by marriage…
I was at the church that morning…
…to witness the happy couple exchange their vows…
I always make it a point to do that when I get invited to any wedding as I consider this…
…the most important part, not to be missed.
That evening…
…there I was at a leading hotel in town for the wedding reception…
The ballroom was packed and it sure was nice to meet many of my ex-students and friends at the dinner. This is one thing that I love about such events – the opportunity to meet familiar faces and catch up with one another’s lives.
The food was generally the usual when one opts to hold the function at this hotel…
…so there was this favourite of mine, their signature dish…
…the duck stuffed with glutinous rice and whatever else…
…and there was this steamed fish as well…
…and all the rest. I did not take snapshots of all the food as I would rather spend my time chatting with my ex-students and friends at my table and I really appreciated those who took the trouble to come over to my table just to say hello.
Congratulations, Aaron & Ling Hie…and to the proud parents too, Peter & missus. Thank you so much for the invitation. God bless, all. Cheers!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
