A night full of joy and laughter filled the atmosphere. Putting aside the hiccups of preparation, two families were bought together in different culture and ways of celebration with gladness and weirdness. With abundance of blessings from family and friends, we felt so much love around us. With this, 20% of stress was deducted from out wedding planning!
Penang Dinner was on the 26th Sept 2009, the eight day of the eight month in the Chinese calendar. All the lovely hard work of preparation was done by my wonderful parents. “Surprises” is one word to describe the outcome.
Let’s begin with dinner dress. Dinner dress was bought by my mom… well, TK and I were speechless while looking at the black dress. The make up artist did not encourage us to wear the dress either and suggest me to wear the other dress. It was not about the colour but it is just the style! Thank God for the red dress from Sarah!
So make up? Well, we did not make appointment till the morning of the event! Awesome! Thank God, we can still book her for make up and hair-do session!
However, lodging and dinner was not a problem at all. My generous dad settles all the lodging and dinner fee in Penang! Awesome! What a blessing!
How was the dinner? We did not know 80% of the guest in the dinner. Therefore, we were just wall paper standing at the entrance and my mom does the hosting! LOL!
The marching in song was awesome! The classical wedding song was played and TK and I laugh our way into the restaurant.
There were no proper walk way…. Hence, we both went up walking separately to our seats… That’s funny too.
The MCEE conduct the dinner in mandarin; hence, I was lost 99% of the time in my dinner!
Eventhough it was a little random, the dinner and celebration was great! Aunties were very happy and it is great to see reconciliation of family members and friends. Many unexpected event happened not for a bad reason but for joy and love. Randomness becomes the unforgettable joyful moments of our wedding in Penang!
Last but not least, thanks to all the help from friends and family- Julian, Timothy and friend for helping us with the photography! Thanks to my sister for helping me side by side! Thanks to my aunties and uncles for support. Thanks to Desmond (godsis) for helping up during the “cham cha” and TK and my family for making this happened!
The joy and excitement ends with good lottery reward for my mom and desmond! HEHE!

lost and running
One more month to go and it is either make it or break it moment of life! Preparing and discussing can be though with two fairly egoistic heads. However, we would have to give in continually to move ahead with time. At the crucial moment of planning and finalizing, it can either be a victory or either a break for a couple. That is when you will see a true monster that screams. We have gone so far and victory is the only goal in our mind.
Through many arguments, misunderstanding, stubbornness and bad days, we probably have learnt so much of what are call compromise, respect and love. With a little guidelines, we spend pass few months running about like headless chicken. But none the less, with the little mountain we go through, we understand more about the procedure and wedding planning. So here are some tips on ROM.
ROM can be done by first get the marriage registration form from any Jabatan Pendaftaran. Fill in whatever is necessary and get your form to the commission of oath. After that;
1. 1. If both of you are from Selangor (IC address from Selangor), you can register your wedding directly from Putra Jaya or Plaza Masalam (the Beng Hock fall down place). They will take 3 weeks to process before the actual day of signing!
2. 2. If one from Selangor and one from other place like Perak, then you have two options... fast or slow!
- Opt1 Perak fella change the IC address to Selangor address (can be done 24hr from Putra Jaya, others will take 3 weeks). With similar address, it will take three weeks to process your registration form.
- Opt2 No need change IC. Fill in two marriage registration form. Submit to the Jabatan Pendaftaran Perkhawinan. They will take 4 weeks to process your form because they need to send back to Perak. If they lost your form somewhere then you have to wait again..hahahha!
Be sure to do the whole procedure two months ahead before your wedding date before you start running around like us! ROM for normal way will cost us only RM30. The express way which will only take 7days to process will cost you RM120. It you go through Association, then it will depend how much they will charge.
The thing is that we were so lost till we almost missed out our ROM. We almost did not manage to submit the form in time and might probable have to sign ROM after our wedding. But thank God, He provides us many alternative and blessing! We manage to get aunty May and she was able to arrange a wonderful date for us!
With the long Merdeka weekend, we manage to spend our time planning for the songs to play in our wedding. I love music! HAHA! With so little we have, there are so much more to come!
