Attending Sisil's Wedding

My best friend Sisil was getting married...
I was super excited, and we bought the ticket back in October the 3rd, 2011. 










Sisil and I have been best friends since our university days at Monash. 
We studied together at the library...whether it's National library or Monash library. 
Library lovers... hahahaha... 

Then when we were hungry, we bought the bread at Swanston Street (can't remember the bakery's name already.) hahahaha...   
One day right before exams, we were talking over the phone about the subject, and my electricity went off!   That night, I stayed overnight at Sisil's place...
There was a day too when Sisil stayed overnight at my place, then we walked along the Yarra River the day after...        

Oh...the days when we were young... 

Sisil's wedding date fell nicely during the school holiday. 
But towards the "The" day, Timmy was sick with the high fever, vomiting...
He told me touching words that day "Mama...I know that you are the best in the world. Without you, there will be nobody who takes care of me." 

The Doctor told us that he normally does not prescribed Antibiotics.  But since we would be out of town, he told us to see how it goes, if Timmy haven't recovered yet, then he would need to drink the antibiotics. 
When we were waiting at the Doctor... 



And I were sick too, with red spots along my thigh and feet. We went to the doctor, and the doctor told me that I should come back next week.  Then we told the Doctor, that we will be out of town. Then the Doctor gave me the Medical Prescription for the next round. 











Luckily, it all went well in the end... 
We recovered, and we could attend Sisil's wedding. 














We arrived Singapore, one day before her wedding. And it was Benny's turn of not feeling well. 
Timmy was still in recovery too. 
On the "The" day, I was nervous with Benny and Timmy being not well. 
But yet, I really wanted to attend her wedding. 
My mother in law even offered to accompany me to go. 
In the end I decided to ride the public transport by myself. 

I was very nervous that day, riding the public transport in an unfamiliar country. 
Before we went, my brother in law opened the Google map and told me where to ride the bus, and where to stop and change to another bus. I kept looking out to make sure that I don't miss the stop. hahaha.. 
Luckily with Google map, we could see how the church looks like, and the vision of the street. So at least that helps.  

I arrived the church 5 minutes before 3.00pm. 
However, when I arrived, I stayed at the parking lot to inform Benny and the in-laws that I have arrived safely. Hahahaha...  Then I was looking around where the ceremony would be held. 
I missed Sisil's church entrance... 
Oh...she said that it was a very touching moment, as she walked down the aisle with her father. 

Beautiful embellishment at the church







Right after the church, I went in a car with Alice, Ci Mimi, Ko Andrew, Ko Hamdani, and Stanley. 
Alice and I were dropped off at Raffles Hotel.  And we were waiting in the hotel lobby. 



















When I went to the toilet, I saw the door that says: Courtyard. 
I was curious, thinking would this door lead to a courtroom or something?  
So, I opened the door, and apparently it leaded to a garden and... Gerald and Sisil were there! 

I quickly ran back to the lobby to tell Alice about it... that I sneaked out through the toilet door and found the couple. Hahahaha..    But when we went there again, we couldn't find them.   Finally Alice called G and we went to their room. 

That day I was very happy that I could attend Sisil's wedding... 
I had the rare opportunity  to be with Sisil after the church ceremony... 
and accompanied her for the make-up re-touch. It was so fun! 














In the afternoon, I had the opportunity to walk around the Hotel, and saw Marina Bay Sands from a distance. 




Luckily Benny and Timmy felt better that night and could attend the wedding dinner too.
