Lights Out!! Leo's one and only blog

On one hand, my sis is nolonger living at home but on the other hand there's a new member in my family now, my brother in law. My sister is officially Mrs. Iino now. I'm so gonna miss her when she leaves Singapore to Japan next year... At least I know if I need anything from Japan I have sis to turn to hehe. But home will nolonger be as noisy as it used to and I won't have anyone to talk to till late anymore. Wierd... the moment I made a tribute to my sis, the next moment, which is 6 months later, she gets married.

The night before the church wedding, My cousin, Delphine came to stay over since she's the bride's maid and was in my room doing work(she's an editor in a local magazine) and while doing work we were talking till late, like 2 am late causing me to wake up like a zombie haha. On the day itself though I was surprised I didn't wake up looking like frankenstein. I did though look like james bond :D

During the church wedding I was the lector for the second reading and was fearful of repeating what happened 6 years ago during my cousin's wedding. I was lector for the first reading and I choked and my voice "zhao sia"(pitch becomes higher). After Grace came down and I had to go up I was telling myself "keep cool, you're perfect!" haha and even winked to my sis on my way up. Making her think I was very confident when i was actually shaking while i was reading the bible passage(and had to move about alittle). And thank the almighty one I didn't choke. Lunch after the mass was incredible too! But that was after the excruciating process of taking pictures because we had to shout for family members from either side(especially mine because it's HUGE) to join the group for photo taking. We had Italian food from pasta fresca da salvatore!!! My fav italian restaurant! Everything there's fresh!!! The highlight of the lunch was ultra rich Lasagne and the creamy Tiramisu :P I was in heaven.

Dinner was at Traders Hotel but not before going to my sis's hotel room to rehearse with my Japanese co emcee, Hidy. Japanese people look so young! She's in her late 30s but she looks like she's in her early 30s. The food provided by room service was also incredible even though its only french fries and a sandwich. After having those finger food there... Macdonald's fries and the sandwich at Ngee Ann(my old school) don't even come close!

Before the wedding dinner My cousins Delphine, Evengeline,Grace and I were at the reception area directing the guests to the dinner area. But during that time Hidy and I were talking about how nervous each of us were. She went to the nearby pub for a drink saying alcohol would make the nervousness go away while I Evangeline got for me a white wine that i gulped down in one go. It didn't help but luckily once I was on stage the nervousness went away(the nervousness goes away when someone up there with you) and I actually had alot of fun onstage talking and making everyone laugh due to a small screw up. The bigger screw up(which is too embarrassing to mention) made Hidy and I crouch to hide behind the emcee's stand. But all in all everything went smoothly.

There my sister goes... There she goes...
