Congrats Blair!!

My friend kindly invited me to his Bali wedding and I really wished I could go... Such an coincidence that I have fallen sick that weekend :( Wonder if it's a blessing in disguise? I have always wanted to attend an overseas wedding, but fret not, because one of my buddies is having hers in Sabah (don't ask me why this quirky location!)... and apparently, she made me maid of honour.

I feel very privileged to be a guest at Blair's solemnization, as it was meant for the immediate families and very few friends. A dinner for 16. Due to the fact that I wasn't attending the Bali wedding, I was then offered to attend in Singapore. I can still recall how I met him, it was through my friend, then ex-colleague Cynthia. They were having a blind date and having a coffee at Starbucks where I was supposed to meet Cynthia thereafter. Since then, I probably have known him for 2 years, and we even travelled to Kota Kinabalu, joined by the girlfriend (not Cynthia, of course) whom is now his wife.

Blair is an IT guy, and I think I can proudly call him a geek, because I'm sure he wouldn't mind :) Haha, I guess now he's one of the very left IT experts I have left in my social circle as the rest have retired and disappeared out of my life.

Blair had a very simple ceremony here, very short and sweet. No fuss. I guess Asians tend to put extra effort in a lot of the details and try to make it perfect and memorable. While for the foreigners, they like to get it done without much fuss. But the restaurant did put our names on the customised guests' menu at our allocated sitting, it was very nicely done. The 5 course dinner included foie gras, wild mushroom soup with gruyere toast and roast black cod fish accompanied with spinach and almond puree... Excellent food, and a beautiful night for a joyous occasion!
