双Dの愛恋

Yesterday, the forth of October

Marks a very important day within our family

And that is the marriage of our beloved cousin Mr David Pooi and his wife, Ms Diana Wong

I recalled the Saturday before when we were 'enslaved' to move house for them

That was the first time I visited Diana's place at Potong Pasir

It was a cosy little old house by the corner of the corridor

After slogging for an hour, we packed everything little things she wanted to bring over into a tiny van

And set off to the new place at Yishun

The new place was done up magnificently I would say

We stayed over that night, fixing up the karaoke system and wireless Internet network

This Saturday, we were busy preparing for the costumes, the wedding lunch and other miscellaneous

H-hour striked 0400 on 040909

Weather was cool, the morning water bath was even colder, shuddering me

While the brothers changed into their white Espada cosplay

David changed into his handsome suit, did a quick prayer and we were ready to set off

We arrived at the bribes place in a convoy of 6 cars, hazard lights beaming, honking horns honking

(In hope) to turn out the few flats of residents

It was a big day anyway

After the cow-kid (aka gu-kia) opened the bridegroom's car door and took some photos

The whole lot including the photographer made our way up to the bribes den

Only to be welcomed by a pack of lurking and hungry long-haired and beautifully dressed wolves

Lust of seeing some red and starved of cold cash

After picking up the bribe, we headed back to the new place for tea offering ceremony

Then, the suckling pig was delivered and it has to accompany the newly weds when they are to 回门

Understanding that the rushes here and there were tiring out the energetic brothers

Whom had almost or no sleep the previous night

But that was no excuse for anyone of us to slack off

I knew that David need us for any and every moment

Lastly, after fast forwarding all the tiresome details

We headed to Park Royal Hotel where the afternoon banquet would be held at

Where we changed down the cosplay into casual-formal wears

The lunch itself was marvellous with wedding singers and no long boring speeches

Everything was settled in by 1600, by then the newly weds were already back in their hotel room

They are going to need a good long rest after a nice hot shower and a cuppa warm milk

Lights out for myself too

Knocked out upon reaching home

While the little baby nurtures in her mother's womb

While the little couple whisper sweet nothings into each other's ears

While I knew that she had eyes on me but her boyfriend was looking

While we wait for the future to lay ahead of us

Many things should not be left waited to happen

Many a times we ought to make things happen instead
