Kewei and EinEin,

Thanks for coming to HK for our wedding ! Your good voice and music talent shocked everyone at the banquet ! Hope you enjoy your stay in HK and "Tsui Wah"'s food last night.

Thx a billion

Samson&Faith

and we are in Hong Kong!

Yours Truly has officially gone international! :D

This is all thanks to Faith and Samson, who found myself on Facebook and
flew us to Hong Kong for their 2-night wedding celebration!

He also wanted me to play We Just Don't Care on my guitar as the opening song for the dinner,
so it is officially the first time I played guitar at a public gig!


I never play the guitar for gigs except in the comforts of my room for Youtube :p
They had seen this and loved it :)

We were at the Happy Valley Race Course for the 1st night :)

Ein and I noted the differences in wedding dinner traditions between Singapore and HK -
the couple would be at the ballroom from about 630pm onwards to take pictures with guests that streamed in for the dinner.

This is a nice idea for Singaporeans, who usually take table-to-table pictures after the 2nd march-in.

The couple would get to speak to their friends at length, and also take personal pictures with other couples or groups of friends (regardless of table arrangement).

But, it was tiring for them as well to wait for their guests to arrive.

Also, the good thing about this was - after their 2nd march in,
they didn't have to stick to the format of taking table-to-table pictures,
but could have time to talk and toast table-to-table :)

Since this was after all a race course,
multiple video screens were available around the ballroom!

We've all seen this in movies -
friends and relatives come earlier to the dinner for mahjong rounds!

We sang a mix of English, Mandarin and Cantonese songs!
They were nice enough to pardon my Cantonese pronunciation :p

Samson loved to sing!
He belted out David Tao's Ai Hen Jian Dan, and several Cantonese songs from Jacky Cheung!

The second night of the dinner celebrations we were at a ballroom in Jockey Club :)

Their friends and family took such good care of us, constantly feeding us and asking if we were having a good time.

Thanks to Philip, Martin and Gladys!

I received a bouquet of flowers! :D Thanks Philip!

Before we left Samson and Faith thanked us profusely again
and made us promise to come back for the baby's 1st month birthday party... :)
We're more than happy to!

PS. Here's what some of the guests have to say about the dinner...
