Showcase : Cross Stitch Bookmark

Now what can these goobledygock of characters mean? Is it some alien life form language?

Maybe it's got something to do with the current environmental calamities?

Actually...

Clearer picture now?

Oh look! There's even an owl pearching here! :)

Lovely eh?

Ma Cherie decided to stitch the above as a present for her mom's birthday.

Happy Birthday mum!

Congratulations - Dear cousin Wai Yee & Philip - 12 March 2011!

I'm getting old. I still remember watching after Wai Yee (my cousin) whenever we went back to Penang and how she would follow my family and be our unofficial tour guide. We could never remember where was where and as at that time, roads were being changed to single street's... getting a local was the best option. All we needed to do was pay for her food! Looking back, I wonder who got the better deal??? :P

She get's free food and merayau rayau with us, while we drive and shop... hmmmm...

So here I am, at New Life in Kota Kemuning.

"No dear, I wouldn't trade this for your bouquet!"

Yes, peace Wai Ying...

Let's get this show on the road, shall we? 1st up: Ring bearer...

And flower girl...

And Flower Girl #2. Why so glum luv?

Bridesmaid #1 - Wai Kuan.

My Uncle and Wai Yee.

Reaching the end of the walkway....

When you're bored, you find entertainment. And you can't argue with the choice of it either. So this kid got my attention. :)

Exchange of vows...

Can you spot (try imagining) the LOVE shape done by the 2 of them?

Exchange of vows #2

Unveiling...

And he zooms in for the ...

... Still moving in...

... Peck on the cheek

And the solemnity is over!

Nice framing eh? I wonder whether I SHOULD consider being an event photographer? :)

Introducing Mr & Mrs...

Walking back down and this time... You're married!

Final shot.

The End.

Kadazan Wedding... Yours truly #2

So here's the continuing set...

Us posing in front of our backdrop.

Who said there wasn't going to be any tea ceremony? :)
But in this case, this "tea" is actually home brew, called lihing, a rice wine...

The policy is that the female, wife, will serve the ladies of the immediate family

And I will serve the gents of the family.

Bottom's UP and DRINK up!

And after that comes the Sumazau dancing...

And more wine...

Some wardrobe malfunction...

Even the kiddies know how to enjoy.

See the happy smiles?

One for the album

I don't know what's with the hands tho...

Did I mention that people of KK LOVE to karaoke???

And Poco-Poco... and obviously I sucked at it BIG time! The only person who oozed with confidence in this dance was my MIL... :)

And finally ending with a bouquet toss.

But of course, we needed to make it from neutral, so the tosser was blindfolded.

And the winner is... Cynthia!

The End.

Kadazan Wedding... Yours truly #1

18th December 2010.

That was my 2nd wedding. So to speak, due to my marriage with someone part Kadazan.

BUT, there is one advantage this time: I get to see the Make Up session where previously, she was in a hotel, and I at my parents house.

All this was done in her family house in Putatan, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and so is the simple ceremony.

So let's start shall we? The following photos was taken by a Photographer called Wendell.

Drawing your eyebrows...

Which eyelash do you want? Conservative? Extreme? Scary?

Putting the selected eyelash on.

Time to style the hair!

"You got a problem with me, bub?"

The final product. Pretty eh?

With Moi...

And Moi decided to be a Ah Pek for 1 minute...

Trying to teach me how to dance the Sumazau; a traditional Kadazan dance.

We're all dressed up!

Need I SAY anything else? :)

Yes, I've got a head gear!!!

Our 3 layer cake. The 1st layer is to be consumed on the day itself. 2nd layer is for the immediate family. 3rd layer? It goes into the fridge, and 1 year thereafter, to be consumed! Think of it my 1st year Anniversary Kadazan cake!
