You know, I have been skipping tennis for three weeks in a row now! Too many happy occasions which I’m actually very glad to be part of. First was my secondary school friend’s wedding, followed by my colleague’s newborn’s full month celebration. This time, I attended my cousin’s customary wedding. We were at Darren’s place early in the morning to witness the tea ceremony.

I was thrilled to see these colorful macarons! 😀 😀 😀

This pair of boy boy and girl girl are my two youngest cousins! Cousin #20 Aloysius and #21 Anthea. Just in case you are wondering, I’m cousin #10. Hurhur 😛

Here’s Yang, cousin #9 who just flew back from Japan. He has completed his post graduate studies but will be going back to work there.

Cousin #2, Elaine with her ‘little cupcake’ Marion. Little cupcake waves hello! 🙂

Cousin-in-law Valerie with Lavelle! I like her frilly pink dress!

Here comes cousin #6 and his lovely bride!

Do you know what’s in store for Darren and Sophia? Lots of phototaking ahead! 😛

A group photo with the cousins, nieces and nephew. Not all of them were present in the day, but you will get to see some of the rest in the photos later! Haha it’s also fun to compare the day shots with the night ones. Transformation siol! Lol.

9 brothers and 6 sisters. I think the other 3 sisters went missing!

One of my cousins joked that by the time it reaches her turn, at least 40 people would have drank from the same cup. Haha kinda grossed out to hear that!

After the tea ceremony, we went home and took a short nap!

On the way to Shangri La Hotel! OOTD: The same short gown which I wore for our ROM party and Kate Spade inspired clutch. Decided to rewear the gown because I’m a huge procrastinator and went to search for something suitable only one week before the wedding. In the end, nothing caught my fancy! I kept my fingernails long but I’m also lazy to go for a manicure. Hehehe 😛 Helena Rubinstein once remarked, “There are no ugly women, only lazy ones”. I beg to differ. I’m simply low maintenance YO! 😀

Decided to match match our color. Different shades of blue though!

Spotted the bridal car parked outside!

I really couldn’t contain my excitement when I saw this purple and silver carousel. It’s like the prettiest thing ever! If only I could have something like this in our future house. *Melts*

Writing our well wishes for Darren and Sophia!

Meet my hip granny YO! Standing behind us is Maeda Uncle (I’ve been calling him that since young) and Aunt Carol on my left. Nope they are not husband and wife la. Just happened to take photo together.

Granny, Aunt Colleen with cousins #18 and #19.

Maeda Uncle is my parents’ colleagues (ex for my dad) for the longest time! We even went out with his wife and three kids when they came over to Singapore many years ago. His eldest daughter is of my age and we used to be penpals. Ahhh memories..

My mum and Aunt Lucy. I like her nyonya kebaya!

Cousin #4, Stanley who’s taller than misterchewy! Haha ok random 😛

Managed to pull Darren over for a shot! No pictures with the pretty bride though 🙁

Nephew Julian looked charming in his getup, complete with a fedora!

Cousin #1, Sharon and cousin-in-law, James!

With Aunt Catherine, cousins #11 and #13 and their partners.

Marion seemed to be playing peek-a-poo! So cute huh! 😀

Nice family photo of cousin #8, Andy, Valerie and Lavelle!

Cousin #3, Melissa, James and Naomi! They were the ones who introduced me to scuba diving! Anyway, we were seated at the same table and Naomi was so smiley throughout the entire night! She’s such a happy baby! 🙂

Whoa! My face looks so sharp in this photo! Major love! 😛

The one and only family photo that we took that night! My brother is still away for his overseas training.

In between courses, I went over to look for Mei Yi 🙂

Kenny is Sharon’s, Elaine’s and Darren’s cousin. His singing is not bad.

Congratulations Darren and Sophia! Stay loving and sweet always! 😀
