CF's wedding

The month of October in year 2009 is officially the wedding month of the year. I was invited to attend to three weddings in a month! That is an unprecedented record!

This time around, it's my schoolmate's wedding Ms. Lim Chui Fun and she's marrying another senior from secondary school of mine too... though I found out about that only later that night :P The wedding dinner is carried out in the Grand Kampar Hotel! Never had wedding dinner there... it's the first big hotel in Kampar!

Center stage is rather small...

Cakes that we had because we were really hungry...

Some gal singing...

Table setting...

There is something common in between camwhoring and girls... :P

Five Seasons Hot and Cold Combination... which actually is all cold... I was expecting some piping hot food and it turned out to be some food left in the open for too long...

Shark's Fins Soup and Dried Scallops... which is okay, but the bowls that they gave to us is so big that Hamdan managed to fill up eight bowls only before running out of food... instead, he had to scoop the shark fins from previous bowls to fill up the ninth bowl... :P

Fresh Steamed Garoupa Fish... which has a rather dry and rough meat...

Steamed Chicken with Herbs... should have served duck instead of chicken... the chicken was too dry...

Taking a breather from food... presenting Siew Ling and May Foong...

Cake cutting ceremony...

Baked Prawns with Oats... I know the picture doesn't look nice. I wasn't using flash because the battery was running out... the prawns were edible, but I can't really taste the aroma of the oats...

Toasting ceremony... the spotlights on the stage made this picture look hideous...

Another one taken during dimmed lights...

The couples were asked by the MC to sing a song and their choice of the song was titled "We Don't Want to Sing"

Braised Mushroom with Broccoli... no comment... :P

The MC brought along a little girl to perform on stage... she's the only one who actually got applause after singing on stage...

What do you think this is? :P

Tadah! It's Lotus Leaf Fried Rice... the packaging looks nice... :P

Hamdam posing a super cool look...

Meow's pose...

A group of drunken people next table...

Final dish... Chinese Pancake and Lotus Seed Soup... actually, the best dish of the night!

For anyone interested in PMP...

In conclusion, I have expected better of the Grand Kampar Hotel... unless they pick up their cooking skills, they are gonna to lose to the great food served in restaurants around Kampar which have been here for decades!

There isn't many pictures on the wedded couple because my camera's batteries were dangerously low and Hamdan is really slow in giving me the pictures that he took using his super expensive SLR. I'll make sure to have my camera batteries fully charged in the second and third wedding dinner I'll be attending this month.
