Batu Pahat Wedding Trip

June 15th, 2007Outings

As soon as I received the invitation to a wedding lunch in Batu Pahat, I quickly get in touch with the rest of the former colleagues. This good friend of mine who is getting married was my supervisor in my previous employment. He keep telling others that we are working as partners. Assisting one and another. Just to side track a bit, the other day when I told some of my friends that I am heading to Johor for a wedding lunch, most of them were surprised that how come it’s lunch but not dinner. Hehe…I think it’s a norm coz the more remote the place, these people sleep early.

The couple, Chris and Fang Chee is happily married on 9th June 2007. So, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them and hope they are blessed with a lot of children. When the day comes, our convoy were complete. Going down south with 4 cars, the journey begins. Since one of them are going back to their hometown in Pagoh, this left 3 of the car heading to Batu Pahat. We reached Batu Pahat Mall for a break since we’re early by couple of hours. Some shop around while the remaining just taking a coffee break at the OldTown Coffeeshop.

When we at the restaurant, apparently we found out that we are the earliest to be there. The food… they feed us like pig. All are in larger portion. Scary man. However, there’s one occasion that reminds me the general erection election is coming. That’s when the father of the bridegroom handing out donation for several association and club during the lunch. I suspect the bridegroom wanted to participate in the upcoming erection election? It was another nostalgia period during the lunch. Just as soon as the first dish were out, there were numbers of adults queuing up to go on stage to perform. It was classic. From 60 and 70 songs to Hokkien songs. Luckily in between, there’s this Super Star contestant whom reached top 12 before being voted out to perform. It was really a blessing that reminds I’m not that old after all.

The wedding lunch ended 10 minutes to 5pm. The convoy of 3 had again reduced to 2. One of them ventured further south to Singapore while the rest decided to headed back to KL after dropping by Malacca for a walk. For a planned 1 hour walk in Jonker Street ended up 2 hours more. I’ll leave it for another story altogether.
