Andrew & Kylie's Wedding

Forth weekend of October (23rd - 24th Oct 2010).

It's the wedding of Andrew & Kylie. Both of them are E's colleague. We arrived on a day before of their wedding. E was one of Andrew's buddies to "escort" him to fetch Kylie. In Chinese traditional, we should choose a day (in Chinese's calendar), to have wedding banquet & most important is to fetch bride from her house. It's to show that, officially married. Tea ceremony also one of the traditional ceremony.

This photo, I copied from FB that being tagged. It's taken at Andrew's house.

Batam's Trip (16-17 Oct 2010)

Third week of October 2010 (16th - 17th Oct 2010), planned a bankrupt trip to Batam, Indonesia with Rach & Shir. Reason why called as "bankrupt trip" is because 3 of us are broke. We all travelled with a tight budget but everything is well planned.

Phua Chu Kang (PCK), a Singapore well-known comedy always like to says "best contractor in SG & Batam". So, now I'm visiting Batam. But too bad that I didn't get to take pictures of city area. I was surprise to see Batam that it is like a Johor Bahru. And one more thing, the town is better & more advance than Tanjung Pinang, Bintan.

We stay a night at Turi Beach which is quite nice place & suitable for relax. However, it doesn't has lots of activities beside water activities. At night, it doesn't has any activity beside a lounge that offers snooker & enjoy watching football's game.

Our ferry ticket to Batam from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal

This is our resort, Turi Beach. Taken this pic at night when the time we back from town.

Lobby at Turi Beach. The first impression comes from hotel lobby. It looks grand makes us feel relieve to choosed this nice resort.

A champagne as welcome drinks from Turi Beach.

Actually is a ginger drink.

Our chalet at the resort. Kind of "kampung" feel but nice. It is located at hill and quite steep too. Maybe we lack of exercise, therefore we felt kind of suffer to walk this steep hill.

The view in the room. 2 queen size beds. I like the toilet because it's very clean.

Swimming pool nearby Riani Wing (our chalet)

Swimming pool at Tirta Wing, another type of rooms at Turi Beach

Steven & Moon's ROM on 101010

Wah! So long time never update my blog. All because of works! Don't really have a spare time to update. As I mentioned before in my previous blog, October is my busy month. Attend Jimui's ROM & wedding dinner. One by one to update it. First, let's see about my Jimui's ROM.

Steven & Moon's ROM is on 10th Oct 2010. Shorten it to be 101010. What a nice figures! For chinese, it is 十全十美 which is means everything goes well. Hopefully I elaborate it correctly. Many of us make it to attend her ROM especially her Jimuis. For me, this is my first time to attend ROM. I'm kind of curious it especially knows nothing about it.

The night before Moon gets official marriage on paper, we went for a drink at Overtime, Sunway Giza. That week, almost everyday I need to work overtime at office, now on Saturday night still need to go "Overtime". :P Ok, I know nothing about Sunway Giza. When the first time I arrive there, I was shock. What a nice place! What a great place to hang out! Definitely is a place for me if I'm still staying and hang out with my jimuis especially when I'm still studying. Somehow, transport is a big problem that time. We take this as our gathering since meeting up few years ago, probably after graduate.

Group photos at Overtime.

10th October 2010. The day has come. It's a big day for Steven & Moon. Me & Eric went to fetch Munz and straight away to Thean Hou Temple to attend the ROM. When we reach there, we were quite surprise to see lots of people are participating this event. Is around 200 couples. 100 couples at noon. That is what Moon told me. Whoa! So great event. We thought the ROM has finish 'coz saw every couple is getting ready for the group shot. But we were wrong. That is just the beginning. Hahaha!! We wait patiently and went for breakfast at Thean Hou Temple's canteen. The weird thing is, temple sells meat. Chicken thigh some more! HL & Ed is late! Join us in midway when E & I having breakfast. Teng & Paul too coz waiting HL. 

After breakfast, we walk around and join in the function to see the event. 3 counters, with 200 couples, waiting for their turn to have a BIG signature on a piece of paper. But be honest, I just don't understand why does the management thinks of this poor way. Luckily, we managed to capture some photos while Steven & Moon are waiting for their turn. Apparently, it is not taken by either of us but by a hired professional photographer. Kind of talented and good. Highly recommended!

I managed to post these 2 photos which are tagged in my FB. Aren't it nice? It's worth for what we paid to get nice photos. After the ROM, we thought to go out & take photos but ends up raining. However, we are rushing back 'coz I'm going to take flight back to SG at late evening.

Be honest, I shed some tears after Moon getting marries. It's a happy tears. Happy for her to get marry & at here, wish her blissful marriage. & stay happy always.
