*hurray*
Exams are finally over!! Yay! I think today's paper is the best paper that i have ever taken.. I came back from jakarta on sunday evening but was too tired so i only started studying for today's paper yesterday. Man, it was way too stressful for me so i picked only certain topics to study. Guess what? Most of the topics i picked came out! Wahahaha.. Okay la, i know this is sooo common for some of you..but i am the 'kiasu' type that will usually study all the topics.. Only this time i picked and wahahaha.. To think that i was so worried just before the paper and had only slept for two and a half hours.. Hee..
Friday.. The day that i was got worried.. (Before that i was basically preparing for the previous two papers, which i think i did fine) My flight was at 1220 but we reached there around eleven.. By eleven-thirty, we pretty much got everything settled.. Thinking that we had alot of time, we went to eat and only head to the immigration around fifteen minutes to twelve.. This was when disaster stroke.. Of course, i passed through easily..but not him. He stayed at the counter and was then being asked to proceed to another counter. At that counter, he stayed for a long time.. Minutes tickled by and soon, it was boarding time. I panicked and went to see what had happened. Oh God, his student pass had expired and was not allowed to leave.. He had to pay a five hundred dollars fine to leave and both of us did not bring that much money, nor did we bring our atm cards. Yup, we cancelled the flight and changed to a later flight (around four, i guess).. We caused so much trouble to the attendants as they had to rush here and there to get our luggage out of the plane.. Got to pay another hundred bucks for that.. Got kin to come down to bring the money to us. Luckily for us that hui jun was with him and she got the money. It was really embarrassing.. Also asked my mum to call and tell his family that our arrival had been postponed. Apparently, his whole family was already at the airport by then.. Haiyo..
When we reached, no one was there.. At first we thought that my mum had told them that our flight was cancelled.. So he bought a phonecard but he did not even know how to use the pay-phone!! Haha..and he called himself the citizen there.. He got a person to teach him and called his bro. Phew, his bro was only at the wrong gate..
Saturday.. Also the wedding day.. I had to wake up really early to get prepared.. Put on the black knee-length dress i bought (actually, i wanted to wear it for the dinner at night but they said it wasn't formal enough..they had already prepared something REALLY formal for me which i'll elaborate later).. Then, it was tea ceremony.. I guess it was quite similar to what we would do in singapore.. After the ceremony, his two sister-in-laws and me took off to get our hair and make-up done.. The place was rather small and quite crowded. It was a bridal salon where all brides go to get dressed into their gowns and all.. Relatives of the brides can also get make-up there, which was why i went there.. The dinner would start at six but there were too many people and we were late (btw, i look really mature after the hairdo and the make-up).. The two-piece evening gown that i was wearing was pink in colour. It was so grand-looking that i almost felt like i was the bride instead.. My hair was somewhat like hilary duff in 'A Cinderella Story' and when i entered the ballroom, the attention i gained from everyone was amazing.. When we were taking photos with the bride and broom, someone even teased that we looked more like the marrying couple.. Hee.. Anyway, the dinner was quite different from what we would do in here.. It was a standing buffet dinner and people can just come and go.. In singapore, the bride and broom have to move from tables to tables for photo takings but in indo, there would be a person announcing for different groups of people to come forward to take photos with the couple, which made things so much easier for them.. The day ended late and i was so damn tired after that..
Sunday.. Time to leave.. Got up early again for nothing.. Our flight was at two o'clock sharp but at twelve noon, we were still at a restaurant waiting for food to be served.. Food was quite nice but it was already one when we finished eating.. At first i thought his parents knew about the flight time but it turned out that they thought the flight was at two plus.. So we rushed.. Reached the airport at one-forty and we quickly checked in.. He still got to pay tax so i went in first.. It was incredible for me because it was the first time i ran so fast with heels on (was second time if the speed was not considered because i did walked briskly with heels once during my sec four graduation night).. The bad part was that i had to sit with two men on the plane.. Humph..
When we reached home, it was almost dinner time.. So i waited for dinner, ate the food and went to sleep.. I think the past few days are some of the busiest days of my life..
Anyway, his student pass thingy was settled today so he is not a illegal immigrant ah.. Hmm, will be leaving for thailand soon.. Heard that there are quite alot of bomb treats there so i am quite worried.. Wish me luck..
