W is for Wow !

Just got back from KK after attending a wedding dinner hosted by Mr and Mrs. Vila Tan for their eldest daughter Sarah. The wedding dinner was at Magellan Banquet hall at Sutera. I must say that the deco was fantastic and so romantic and very very beautiful. The hall is big and it wasnt packed with tables elbow to elbow. There was a lot of spaces between the tables, a stage for the performers dancing punjabi dances and a live band " The dreamers" . All in all it was worth our trip there.

Sarah is soooo pretty and tall and so gracious. Her husband Kevin is American and also very handsome and friendly. The bride wore an oh so gorgeous cheongsam.....everyone wants to know where she got it from, including me. The groom wore a chinese jacket and all the inlaws and parents and relatives wore saris. Sarah's american mum in law looked so pretty in a blue sari. The father in law wore a batik. When I have a photo of us taken with her I will try to put it in my facebook.

The speeches were short and sweet and the music was so catchy. I wanted to stay and dance but, everyone started to leave when the dinner ended...so typical malaysians !!!.Kudos to Vila and Jamit for hosting such a memorable wedding for their beloved girl.

Half the hall was packed with people from Sandakan. Cocktails was served at 6pm. There was quiet a lot of finger food and free flow of drinks. Dinner started at 7.30 but the food was only served 15 mins later as the people were slow in coming into the hall.

The card stated " smart casual" but I knew no sane malaysian lady would go to a grand wedding at Magellan in smart casual....hahaha, and so as I guessed correctly everyone was dressed in their finest, with one ot two exceptions but the rest of us were in semi-formals. Some even in their evening gowns.

Ok, that is all about the wedding. The rest of my KK trip was boring. Jalan-jalan around Wisma merdeka and 1 Borneo. The highlight of the walk around 1Borneo was buying big apple donuts....you know, deciding which to get out of the dozens of choices.Now that took time and alot of decision making.....greentea or chocochip, no, no, maybe nuts and white chocolate?...ah yah all also so fattening. So just pick the most fattening ones as they are the tastiest. Worry about XXXXXX when we get home.

Luckily I booked for us to come back the next day. Dont think we can take all that excitment of walking around malls anymore. Nothing like home !
