29 Feb was a special day, not because it only occur every 4 years but it was the date my best friend got married! I had never been to a Malay wedding or solemnisation so I was really excited to witness it. Reached my bf house and surprised to know that I was the first friend to arrive. There were 2 that were to arrive even earlier than me but in the end they only arrived 10-20 minutes before the groom arrived. I ended up being the only one to help her, not that I minded but I had no experience in Malay customs and what to do. Especially since my friend is very religious so no man can step into her room before she dressed and her hair was hidden in other words only females allow.
Tasks that I tried to help:
1. To decorate one of tray with boxes of chocolates which was supposed to be done by her malay friend that "suppose" to come early. I assumed by the word decorating that I should tear up the boxes and take out the chocolates lol! Wrong! I already tore the first box when Khat said Nooooooo! Oppps....... I ended up sticking the box back :p
2. Pass the money to the photographer "discreetly", I was looking my bf in a blank face saying how am i suppose to do that? In the end, I talked to the photographer and gestured him to one side and informing him that I was to pass him the money discreetly lol! Khat even asked me to bring the dress out "discreetly", I was thinking no way I can accomplish the task, the dress is so bright and freaking long! Luckily her makeup artist talked her out of it.
3. Convey messages between the photographer and Khat since he could not enter until she was done. That was easy until the photographer wanted to take pictures of the dress and asked me to find "S"- shaped hook. I was thinking oh no.... not my house...... no idea....... Tried asking her brother but he did not know, ended up I spotted it in the kitchen lol!
4. Entertain her another best friend, Ray. As he was not allowed into the room as well and by the time she was ready, everybody was swarming around her and he knew no one like me. We were also sticking out like a sore thumb since both of us were the only Chinese around. I was like the animal in the zoo when I left her room to help out lol. So we ended chatting merrily
Congratulations my bestie!
