This is Michelle from NTU, who has a blur queen personality and a love for biology.
Currently studying at the School of Biological Sciences.
I have my birthday celebration on 16 June every year.
Loves singing, reading, baking and eating.
Basically your good old plain Jane! :))
My sister to get a boyfriend New school bag Have A&W curly fries and root beer Donate blood New pair of pumps An overseas trip soon The tales of Beedle the Bard To push myself into First class honours Jog regularly Lose 2 kilos! Mend the emptiness in my bank account Golden flats from COTTON ON More tops! dresses light grey denim skinny Nice comfortable heels Trim my hair Belt Handbag/slingbag for going out Try charcoal mask Printer
On my second day of freedom, I attended a Malay wedding the first time in my life. It is really quite interesting to get exposure to different cultures. In that way, you can compare what's the same, and what's not. Anyway, the groom is my relative, some kind of uncle (but similar age as me), thus I also have not much choice but to go. The drums were really loud! But this makes the whole event more vibrant. It really feels like a family kind of thing. Since I'm not quite close to my relatives, I find this a refreshing change of environment.
Perhaps the biggest difference between a chinese and a malay wedding is.....
*drum rolls*
Instead of the groom going to fetch the bride, it is the groom who is being fetched. The bride will be waiting at the place there, while the people went to fetch the groom. I always thought that under the tree-like thingy they used to shelter the newlyweds, is the bride. But no. It is the groom!
And the second difference is, they favour a buffet kind of lunch. Once you finished your meal, you have to get up from your seats to give it to other people. Cos there are simply not enough seats. A bit 赶鸭子，but no choice, just 入乡随俗 lo.
Some pictures:
The door gift. A small piece of soap wrapped nicely.
When they are fetching the GROOM.....
More drums... Finally, the bride and groom...
It's really nice attending weddings... It puts me in a good mood afterwards. haha. I want to attend my sister's wedding asap, cos I wanna be a bridesmaid.....
I'm getting increasingly nerdy! So if you are a fellow nerd and have a love for textbooks and shopping, do add me on msn: terrorist_gurl88@hotmail.com. :D
