Mark & Yin Yin

It’s the wedding season. Some of my colleagues don’t actually believe I’m attending yet another wedding. Mark was my cell member as well a dew crew many years back. He and Yin Yin got married on the 7th Feb in Singapore. The programme in Penang was blessing/renewal of vows ceremony, tea ceremony and Chinese dinner.

I think his parents worked very hard to make all the arrangement for friends and families. Mark is very cool. He just left all the stress and worrying to his parents! :-p Thank God for such supportive parents. Not only did they plan the actual event details with the wedding coordinator, they also arrange accommodation for many people. Thanks to their generosity, a number of us get to stay in the hotel where everything took placed. :)

With the exception of the short trip to Penang last year for work (which we were very much restricted to only the hotel) I haven’t been to Penang for probably 22 years. :-p Found out Siew Kim used to study in Penang so she knew some of the roads. It was great because we get to drive around this morning to eat Penang Fried Kuey Teow, Cendol and Laksa!

yah, koay teow quite nice la. but i think some in kl are as good. maybe the prawns aren't that big la.
