Mission 2: Banquet Wedding Dinner

Okay, I'm shit face now. Back from Beng's wedding dinner. I helped him down a few hard liquors with egg, red wine, beers. I'm slight better.. probably just 80% high now... blog about the event (wedding) later.. before I have typo errors. Photos.. later... I need to catch some sleep.

Happy that my buddy is finally married!! I know I will get a massive headache later when I wake up. Over and out!



Updated at 1743hrs:
Going through the pics now.. and a re-cap of what has taken place in Mission 2. I took a quick nap before heading down to the ballroom at the hotel where Beng's wedding dinner is held. I had to be there early to make sure that the songs (for first and second march-in are perfect) and the Montage is able to play on the system at a comfortable volume. Running around, coordinating with the Function Manager. Soon, guests started pouring in. I readied the petals and party poppers for the first and second march-in too. Showing the guests to their seats and seeing to the guests' request on behalf of Beng, the host.

So many faces that I know and some faces I have not seen for a really long time. Gang4, OCS, ZhuiTeLun, myFTOgpx, Lambie, Mr. & Mrs. Fong + Fong Jr.1, ArcadeDT, etc. Out of the 7 tables (Beng's friends or colleagues), I know 6 tables of guests already. Makes my job, taking care of the guests easier. Both bride and groom's folks are okay too, since they have seen me before.

Around 2025hrs, we started the Montage and followed by the first march in with the couple heading up onto the stage for doing the R.O.M. ceremony with a JP. Photographer snapping away.... With the ceremony over and cutting of the cake, the first dish started when the couple returned to their seats.

Taking a some food, I went around socialising with my Poly mates, Beng's Army buddies, ex-colleagues and all, just to make sure everything is okay for them. Time's up!! Second march in for the couple, champagne popping and followed by the 3 cheers of Yum-Seng! The bride and groom expressed their thanks to the parents and those around them with rounds and rounds of applause.

RLEK and PolarBear helped to organise the tables for photograph taking, skipping those "unfriendly" (games and drinks trap) tables of guests. Drinks are left to the last, in order to be tackled. The bride and groom took most of the drinks that the guests wanted them to drink, through forfeits or games. For the remaining 3 tables, they probably had too much to drink and already looking a little dazed. I helped them down a few hard liquors with egg, red wine, beers. Woo hoo,... I have not drank liquor (in that kind of quantity) for years. Yeah, I would have a mug of beer or a glass of wine, once in a really blue moon. But, this night... *pfffttt*. Almost knocked out by the drinks. Missed by probably another few more glasses.

Fortunately, the couple are still able to send the guests off. PolarBear and I hurried the couple back to their room and got room service to send a flask of warm water for Beng to flush the alcohol out of the system by taking more fluids (plain water). We left them when Beng seems to be a little more sober.

RLEK and PolarBear have been great help to Beng's wedding on this special night.
