Chit's Wedding
Is 22 years of age too young to settle down in a marriage?
For me, my answer would be yes. But to each his/her own, and I wish Chithira and JP, her hubby all the best! She's happy, we as her friends are happy for her as well =)
It was my first time attending a traditional Indian wedding and it was quite an eye-opener. There was a video clip showcasing the wedding that was held in India for 5 days. So many rituals to go through and traditions to conform to. Way way more complicating than the typical Chinese traditional wedding ceremony.
I was close to tears at some point when I took a glance at Chithira and her hubby, JP at the bride and bridegroom's table. She looked so different in her traditional wedding sari, with her hair done up and face beautifully made up. Suddenly, I felt a great sense of loss.
Where was the girl who during sec school days, was my best buddy, my best 'partner in crime'?
Where was the girl whom I made friends with the first day of Sec 2?
And, she's happily married now.
Now, I sound like some selfish person. Do I? I really do not know.
Looking back, the moments we spent together are beyond priceless. I mean, this is the girl I grew up with in sec school. Some part of me still misses the old days of girlish childishness. The days of our field trip to Chiang Mai. The sharing of hotel rooms with Youie, the 3 of us who were the very last to turn up for the buffet breakfast all the 7 mornings and for winning the award (if there is one) for the messiest room ever. Days gone like the wind.
Oh well, I still wish Chit a smooth-sailing marriage! Don't migrate to New Zealand with JP too soon now ok! Haha, don't mind if I tag along. =D
by the way, we snapped away before, during and after the wedding reception.

with lovely babes, Eil and Wan Zhi
Pretty Zhi who looks every bit the HK girl with her Hong Kong street wear inspired dress sense.
Kickboxing plus aerobics partner =)
Me with a Bollywood bombshell! LOL! Kavi looked amazingly hot in her ethnic sari (which according to her, is the trendier kinda Bollywood-ish sari, and not the traditional kind)
I pout while they smiled. Totally not in tune with the theme.The bride and bride groom were swarmed by relatives after the reception so couldn't really get a good picture with them. =\
-wanted to upload more pictures, but Blogger hanged on me again-
URGH.
Off to sleep now.
