Ben's big day
Just came back from my cousin Benjamin's wedding dinner. Yey, Ben is finally married. God bless.
For people who haven't heard it from me already, my new cousin-in-law Jackie is a Korean. Actually the wedding took place earlier in the week in Korea already - which was essentially the church and traditional Korean ceremony. I didn't attend the wedding at Korea but I did watch the video today and it was darn cool. The church wedding was the most elaborate church wedidng I've ever seen in my entire life, with a congregation of about a thousand or two, together with a FULL orchestra AND choir. It looked as if I was watching a symphony orchestra concert at an enlarged Victoria Concert Hall. Darn cool. The traditional ceremony was darn cute too, with the couple donning on the traditional costumes.
Oh oh oh... apparently there's this tradition in Korea where the newlyweds have take a bite each out of a chestnut. Then they have to see who got the seed. Okay, this is the most interesting part. Listen to this. The one with the seed will get to manage the finances of the family in the future. The bride got it, of course, since she was waving this stack of money into the cameras.
The dinner in Singapore was organized by the Singapore side. Our side, essentially. Jackie's parents and sisters flew over from Korea, and I got to practise my Korean again. Haha. Oh, our dinner was held at Hilton Hotel. Nice place, nice food, nice guests. (The president of our country came) I thought grace was said pretty well before dinner. The bride's father said grace in Korean, since he's a Korean presbyterian pastor. Blessed the food, blessed the president, and blessed the country.
Oh, I was talking to one of my uncles from APB and I said I just graduated, still looking for a job and I want to join his company and be a beer taster. Haha.
