Wedding & Old Shanghai

Last Saturday was a holiday from the wet market scene. Mum had found a much cheaper and fresher alternative in our housing area, so going to the wet market is no longer 'critical'. Instead, we went to TC's wedding at the Church of Divine Mercy, Glenmarie. Only my second time there. Nearly got lost going there as we missed a turning, but we made it just in time. Loved the wedding mass. The celebrant, Father Paulino was very moving during his homily and the St. Cecilia choir was very good. SK got to see some of her old coursemates. Many did not recognize her. Mum and I just tagged along as Catholic weddings are usually a quiet affair. Good to swell the numbers a bit. Just one cutie at the wedding. The Edison Chen bad boy type. Complete with fancy, shaved hair. At first I thought he was wearing a cool, giant white earing, but it turned out to be a bandaid. LOL. After mass, lunch was served. Very meaty offerings of curry chicken, roast duck, roast lamb, buttered prawns and sambal cuttlefish. Quite tasty. Left soon after to catch our concert at 3:00pm. Wishing TC and his wife a blessed life in holy matrimony. When his wife finally moves back from Singapore, things should be more settled down.

On our way out, we got lost again. Wasted twenty minutes on the Guthrie Highway trying to get on the NKVE. The signboards were horrible. Managed to reach KLPAC at about 2:30pm. Luckily we arrived before the downpour. At the box office, I bumped into DanielH. Say his blonde bangs sticking out of his baseball cap. This year, we watched Dama Orchestra's "Glitz & Glamour". Another shi da qu offering with Tan Soo Suan at the forefront. Unlike "I Have A Date With Spring", this had more songs and less story. Old Shanghai caberet. Most of the songs were little-performed numbers that were not familiar to me. So I guess I did not enjoy it as much. For some reason, Tan Soo Suan looks so much more petite off-stage. All the sequins must add 10 pounds. Haha. Dinner was a simple vegetarian affair at Bandar Park OUG. Simple, cheap and fulfilling. For the first time I noticed the Budai statue on the altar was actually clutching a globe! So modern. Another Saturday comes to a close.
