Dearest Little Skyler,
Yet another day, Little One, where we gave Mama space to study for her next Exam paper. Today, Papa brought you for his colleague’s church wedding. It was at a church that Papa had not been to before but Papa had a rough idea where it was and based on that rough idea, we set off.
When we got near where the church was supposed to be, Papa saw a sign board that said that we should park there for the church, so, that’s what Papa did. After parking, Papa had no idea which building housed the church, thus, Papa went around asking the people who happened to be around there. It was so funny because everyone Papa asked had no idea either. They all responded that they were new there as well. :D
Therefore, Papa decided to just head down the slope to the main road and see if we could find it. Thank God there was someone at the foot of the slope who pointed out where the church was! It happened to be in the building next to where we were and we had to cross a patch of grass to get there! Thank God the grass was not too long or Papa would have had to carry your stroller all the way! As such, Papa could roll your stroller along to get to the church. By the time we got there, Papa was dripping with perspiration! :D
We waited a bit for the service to start and while we were waiting for the bride to arrive, the MCs decided to rag the bridegroom by asking him stuff that are usually reserved for the wedding dinner such as how he proposed, etc. It was quite funny for this to be done in a church but it was definitely entertaining. :D
After Aunty Carene arrived, the wedding service started. It was conducted in Mandarin and that was a great big challenge for Papa to figure out what was going on. :D They also had a Praise song that was in Hokkien! That was the first time ever that Papa praised God in Hokkien! :D
Oh! I forgot to mention that Uncle Ravi had arrived before then and we sat together. Uncle Ravi played with you for a while and you allowed him to carry you. :D
During the service itself, you were quite fussy so Papa had to carry you to entertain you. We went to the back of the church hall so that we did not disturb the other guests.
There was a little che-che and kor-kor playing there. They were throwing small little pieces of crepe paper and collecting them together before throwing them again. While we were sitting there watching them play, the nice che-che gave you one piece of their crepe paper. She also told the kor-kor to give you one so that you had something to play with. You must learn from their example, okay? You must share what you have with others even when you don’t know them. It’s a nice thing to do.
During the lull in the service, Papa carried you again to near our seats. There was an Aunty who was sitting behind our seat who happened to walk back to her seat while we were standing there. She reached out for you and you happily reached out to her! You allowed her to carry you and she brought you to sit down with her friends (other aunties)! You just happily sat there with them for many minutes! You’re simply amazing! When you are in the mood, you’ll allow anybody to carry you!
After the service was over, we had a reception in a room behind the church hall. We sat with Uncle Ravi, Uncle Jeffrey, Aunty Hui Hon and Aunty Ailin. It was a while before Aunty Carene made her appearance at the reception as she had gone to change out of her wedding gown. She also carried you and you had a photo taken with her! :D
After we left the wedding service, we went to visit Aunty Pearlyn as she had recently given birth to her third child. We drove over there and spent about half an hour there. Aunty Pearlyn daughter was there too. Che-che is about 2 plus years old already. She doesn’t talk much yet but she practically towered over you. It was so funny at one stage as I let you stand up facing che-che and you just kept on poking her in her tummy! I had no idea what you were doing!
Aunty Pearlyn brought us in to see ‘di-di’ and he was sleeping on his front. He was so small – just like you were at that age! It still amazes both Mama and Papa that you were so small then and now you’re so much bigger!
After that, we came back home to rest.
We love precious Girl,
Papa and Mama
