Jane + Endom's Wedding - Wedding Dinner

29 November 2009 - Not much time left as we need to prepare ourselves for the wedding dinner at Kuantan. That mean, we have around one and half hours to do our make up and hair do. Pretty rush as we only have one bathroom for 4 people.

Luckily the hotel's make up mirror is big enough for us. Look at the photo, 3 of us sharing the same mirror. It's big enough for me and Lynn putting on the makeup while Calley curling her hair with a curling iron.

Haha, I'm wearing shower cup instead of hairband.
don't say ugly lah.. praise me creative ok?

We all enjoyed getting our makeup done and snapped a few photos before leaving to the wedding dinner.

I love Calley's dress so much ;)

Jane's hand flower still look fresh and pretty under our care

and we just can't resist taking photo with it.

Don't forget the red packets from us as well
we purposely bought this special wedding red packet

After 20 minutes, the driving nightmare has begun.

TRAFFIC JAM!!

Traffic is congested all the way which we also don't have any idea how long we are going to stuck like this T____T

Look at the side mirror, there's a long queue wait at the back. And more worse... we are stuck in a traffic jam that seems to have no cause. We had no choice but to stuck in the jam.

I'm trying to have patience for the traffic headaches but I just can't. End up, Lynn took over my place.

3 hours later...

We almost give up because we might missed part of her wedding due to a traffic jam. T________T

I was told about the massive jam caused by worst traffic that crawl in both directions leading to the bridge near Kampung Bukit Kuang, Kemaman especially during peak hours. The bridge was built in the early 1960s to replace a ferry. Quite old already huh! Since the bridge cannot longer serve its purpose effectively, pleaselah built a new and big bridge ok?

But when thinking we coming down all the way from KL to Terengganu and we were trapped in the traffic jam for more than 3 hours, we gain back our strength to keep on the journey ;)

After passed the bridge, the traffic truly smooth. Old bridge that should be blamed for the caused of the traffic jam. It's time for new bridge to ensure driving safer and comfortable across the river.

smooth traffic after the bridge

screaming happily

Another 45mins driving, we arrived at Kuantan, Restaurant Seri Pantai Jaya with GPS help.

Finally we were able to see our pretty bride, Jane and her husband, Endom. I know she been so worried about us and keep calling us through the night. The dinner had started and yam seng also over. ;(

don't forget the red wine to cool us down

and liquor for some kicking ;p

cheers for our bride, Jane

end of the dinner, nothing left

Lastly photo session with our bride before we leaving back to hotel

Tomorrow only will be her "BIG DAY" and 4 of us will be her ji muis. We choose purple as ji muis theme color to match with our Lavender wrist corsages. She loves Lavender so much, that why I purposely made Lavender wrist corsages for her wedding.

Before going to bed, we make sure everything prepared and checked ;)

Our purple dresses - Checked

gate crashing game materials - Checked

Everything checked and some pillow talk before going into dream.
Can't wait for tomorrow^^

Jane + Endom's Wedding - Journey to the East Coast

29 November 2009, 4 of us will be heading to Terengganu to attend Jane's wedding (my ex uni room mate and bestie). Amongst us, we never thought she will be the one who get married first. During our Uni time, she the one who very shy shy type with guys... "Diam diam ubi berisi ya"

Anyway we felt very happy because finally she found her true love. And for sure 4 of us will be there as her ji muis. We are going to overnight at Awana Kijal Terengganu as she held her wedding dinner first before her wedding ceremony.

Girls...forgive me for the late post ;)

Calley, Winnie and me while waiting for lynn arrival

Since my car still lying unconsciously in the workshop, we drove there with Lynn's car. We are so excited to begin our journey to the east coast.

*Some of the highlights of our trips*

we stopped by at Taman Connaught for Dim Sum as our breakfast

but the dim sum didn't taste good like last time anymore

but they seem enjoying so much ;)

Lynn's new car key and I named it Chui Kaw kaw (thick lips) and I wondering how she can carry so big key chain for her car key??

But no matter how big the key chain, she still dropped her key inside Endom's friend car. At first we all very gan cheong when she told us she couldn't find her car key. We all keep searching for it and started to worry how we going to drive back to KL without the car key?? Shorten the story, the key found at last and thanks to Jane's father in law for sending us back the car key ya ;)

"chui kaw kaw" very yai yai

After breakfast, we dropped by "De Paris" bridal shop to collect Jane's hand flower.

Jane forgot to provide me with the booking number and I thought can collect it easily by mentioning her name. So Calley called her up but couldn't reach her. What to do, we try to search by name on the booking list. End up we found it. Fuh~~ Lucky

Our journey begin....

They all trusted my driving skills
