Cho Teong and Kelly Lum

20th October 2007. Yeeeessssssss...it's another one...... These last 2-3 months; I tell you, at this rate, I'll go bankrupt with all these 'summonses'. *grin*. It's our fellow divers, Ng Cho Teong and Kelly Lum's turn to tie the knot.

Diagressing a little, the last time I met Kelly and Cho Teong was at Sg. Chilling, in Kuala Kubu Bharu (for moderate hikers, this is place to go, but watch out for flash floods during the rainy season) a hike which Mike Tjoa and I did with them on the 27th September (I've yet to blog about that excursion). It's a nice waterfall area with a precursor; 45-minute hike into the woods, through at least 5 to 7 river crossings...ok, back to the issue at hand...

Last nite was their wedding dinner (Cho Teong's in-laws side) in Puchong, at a chinese restaurant named 'Hei Lai Ton', just opposite the IOI Business Centre.



There's still Round 2 at Sri Kembangan next week, on the 27th...and this time, Francis and I, inter alia, are the 'Heng Tais' (aka "gunmen", aka "fools who are going to make fools of themselves" aka "screwed!!!") for Cho Teong's entourage. We've already identified the 'chi muis' who look like they're undoubtedly going to rag us to death....fortunately for us, we've been told that they're not allowed to use women's undergarments because its 'pantang'....Har Har har...but that's no consolation... the wasabe-laden 'delights' are enough to take us out already...

Asther and Francis were the official photographers and I, was the official photographer's assistant, keeping an eye on their equipment and hard disks and lenses.

We were seated at a table of Kelly and Cho Teong's friends. Dinner was enjoyable, save as the 'in-house entertainment'...

Just as I thought I could escape karaoke, there it was...the horrid sight...a karaoke machine at the left-anterior of the podium. AARRRGGH!!! No more Hokkien songs please!!! The kids singing Mandarin songs all are ok...I don't understand a word, but they were adorable. But it's the over-zealous 'Ah suk' I can't tahan!! (this word I know: "Beh Ta Han") Pan Chung and Siew Lui (a couple next to me) were pleading..."Peter, please go up there and SING, please SAVE US"....he he he...At least, "Ronan Keating" and gang with amongst others, "When you say nothing at all" or somesemblance of entertainment... he he he.

Don't worry Cho Teong!!! We'll take care of the rest!!! You just make sure our 'ang pows' are fatter than usual...

Now, where's my insurance policy...??
