A Season to be Merry

I headed back to Muar for my Christmas break last Friday, 21st Dec. First on the agenda was Willie's wedding on Saturday. It was to be a full day event with fetching-the-bride in the morning, church wedding in the afternoon and dinner at night. However the festivities started slightly earlier on Friday night, as I hopped over to his place soon after I arrived in Muar. A bunch of old school friends were already there and we chatted until we realised it was past midnight and time for the bridegroom to get his rest.

Saturday began early at 7.45am. Here was how it went ...

Willie encouraging the troops
Willie : "Brothers, keep heart. What's a mouthful of odd tasting spices and a few strands of hair?"

Justin getting both legs taped
Justin : "Wait, not the whole lenghth of my lower leg! Oooh, I'm regretting this..."

Muar Po brothers
Brothers :"We're still good. The worse is over. Hope it will be lunch soon ..."

Willie&Sigrid emerging from room
Willie : "I have got what I came here for ... luckily her 'chi muis' didn't know about the 'angpows' in my left pocket."

Tossing the Bridegroom
Brothers : "Hey Sigrid, he's yours now, catch!"

Willie singing
Willie : "This is the day that the Lord had made ... "

Willie&Sigrid with Ben
Willie & Sigrid : "Cheese ... (our cheek muscles are aching so much)"
