Wedding Reflects

View Album


This month is a real good month,It has been wedding functions one after another.Despite the busy schedule and losing touch of friends and relatives.. I am always excited when it comes to wedding. Today i attended an old friend wedding ceremony, and it remind me of my Emcee day during my cousin's wedding last December, Wedding in West Malaysia is some what similar in Sabah.. common Yam seng practise and round table seperated between bride and grooms family, and friends. The only different is... Sabahn wedding are mostly conducted in malay or english... this is because we are way to mix, with Kadazan, Bajau, dusun, and even chinese looking whom doesnt understand chinese... however ( a slide in between of Hakka, hokkien, and also kadus language makes the evironment chill)...


This was my emcee experience during my cousin wedding, i posted this blog in friendster last year .. it was sweet and warmth , as all my relative, came down from tenghilan, tamparuli, topokon, and evern tuaran, penampang, and Papar...some of them still came with sarung, or curut ( which is a tabocca kind ). I miss this moment :-

The Mix Culture Wedding ( posted 17 dec 07)

Today- 15 Dec 2007, Is a very special day for my cousin Set Fui. She will be getting married to her long time boy friend, Janeve which is A Dusun from Kota Belud. ( Dusun is one of the native clan of Sabah). Meanwhile, being the master of ceremony for this special mix culture wedding celebration, i am truly happy to celebrate this joy with this newly wed couple.

Morning Schedule was pretty tight as we have a Chinese Wedding Culture Where Janeve came at about 8:35am to pick up Set Fui and being tortured by some dramatic challenge which took almost 1 hour. He was force to sing in Mandarin, to eat chili, bitter gourd, and even lime which shows that he is willing to go through every stage of life with Set Fui. After winning the battle, we had Tea Ceremony which took us 1 hour as we have a very big family. Our appointment with pastor for the sacred solemnize was at 10am. So once the tea ceremony finished, we rushed immediately to the church and finally the couple managed to complete the solemnization and end the morning chapter of the wedding.





Now here comes the lime light of the wedding, The “Aramity” dinner. This is the first time I conducted a ceremony for a wedding. Hence, a little nervous. however, at least I have a male emcee accompanying me, so It wasn’t too bad after all. The ceremony was started by a special entry of the newly wed with a Sword Bearer marching in and a serious momentum with respect and silent….pretty special.

Overall the ceremony flow is pretty smooth, especially after a few drinks from the crowd, they have more feedback and more attentive to the couple, we have a great time emceeing while watching the couple enjoyed being asked question and the crowd being entertertained by us.



The night end with a karaoke session and every one seems enjoying them selves while the bride was actually “drunk” and the groom has to stand alone to thanks goodbye everyone.
As for me, another satisfactory of achievement done and I hope I can have a chance to develop more exposure in emceeing again.
