Darren’s & Sophia’s Purple Wedding at Shangri La Ballroom

Darren & Sophie Wedding 067-001

You know, I have been skipping tennis for three weeks in a row now! Too many happy occasions which I’m actually very glad to be part of. First was my secondary school friend’s wedding, followed by my colleague’s newborn’s full month celebration. This time, I attended my cousin’s customary wedding. We were at Darren’s place early in the morning to witness the tea ceremony.

One of my cousins joked that by the time it reaches her turn, at least 40 people would have drank from the same cup. Haha kinda grossed out to hear that!

After the tea ceremony, we went home and took a short nap!

On the way to Shangri La Hotel! OOTD: The same short gown which I wore for our ROM party and Kate Spade inspired clutch. Decided to rewear the gown because I’m a huge procrastinator and went to search for something suitable only one week before the wedding. In the end, nothing caught my fancy! I kept my fingernails long but I’m also lazy to go for a manicure. Hehehe πŸ˜› Helena Rubinstein once remarked, “There are no ugly women, only lazy ones”. I beg to differ. I’m simply low maintenance YO! πŸ˜€

I really couldn’t contain my excitement when I saw this purple and silver carousel. It’s like the prettiest thing ever! If only I could have something like this in our future house. *Melts*

Maeda Uncle is my parents’ colleagues (ex for my dad) for the longest time! We even went out with his wife and three kids when they came over to Singapore many years ago. His eldest daughter is of my age and we used to be penpals. Ahhh memories..
