It was a refreshing holiday!! And also the most eventful wedding I've ever been to... My cousin had 2 wedding ceremonies - 1 held at her house and one at the groom's house. Everything went quite smoothly at our side, but lots of things went wrong in Negri Sembilan, where the groom's hometown is. We stayed at a 2-storey terraced house (15 adults and 3 children) for just one night thankfully. 2 queen size beds were not enough for 7 ladies and 1 little boy, so we pulled 2 mattresses and put them on the floor. Now somebody has to sleep on the hard wooden planks that was below the mattresses (luckily not me). I think it was around 10pm after we finished the bed arrangements, then the bride told us she felt feverish... 1 day before the wedding! That wasn't the worse. We all went to bed after midnight, and at around 2am one of the cousin's phone kept ringing, which kept everyone awake the whole time. At around 4am there was a loud buzzing sound outside the window that wouldn't stop, and it felt a little warm. I thought someone switched the air-con off, and I heard people walking, people tossing in their sleep in my own daze. And then I heard voices saying there's a power cut! That buzz came from the repair lorry! In my daze I thought to myself: power cut at a time like this! Just before the bride has to put on her makeup! Luckily the water still flows, and the bride applied her makeup in candlelight. So we go to the tea ceremony, come back to the house at about 11am, had some sleep, and proceeded to the wedding lunch at 2pm. The restaurant was quite small, I think there were 20 tables in there all squeezed quite closely together. The sound system there was also appalling, we could only hear the host talk, and when he started singing everything became incomprehensible. My mum went up to sing 2 times, and both times i took videos. When I played the videos all we heard was noise! Even my aunt said it was the worse restaurant she has been to for a wedding. So that ends our stay in Negri Sembilan.
The next stop for us was Genting Highlands, where I spent most of my time with 2 younger cousins, both of them girls, 1 of them extremely irritating sometimes. We went out to the theme park, I tried the superman ride for the first time, it was great! The cousins were too scared and too young for it. The rest of the time I was in the casinos, playing jackpots and roulette with a computer. The one thing I don't like about casinos is the smoke. It's like one hot room baking everyone with cigarette smoke. If you stay there for 2 hours or more, your clothes and hair get the stink. I lost some money, but that's ok, I know well what gambling can do to one if one gets too deep...
So we got home at 8pm last night, just in time to celebrate new year at home. Well we didn't really have any celebration, just watched some TV. I went to bed 20 minutes before midnight, totally exhausted. But the fireworks nearby woke me up 20 minutes later, (happy new year!) and then back to sleep.
