Hope to have more of such outing…<<hint hint: jason>> hehe:X
This is my 3rd time visiting my relative in China. But this time i have experienced more and gain more on their culture.
I arrived in Xiamen Airport at ard 11.45 and my cousins friend were there waiting for us. Then we took those 10 seaters bus into my cousin’s place.
We arrived around 3+ then we took a short rest. There after, we help out in the making of the "tang yuan".
That nite after dinner, my niece which was around my age drove me out. We went to the nite market and into a bubble tea shop. There were 4 of us and each of us ordered a drink and some snacks. It was really cheap. We only spend RMB23(ard S$5) for all the drinks and food. After that, we went to the moutain top to watch stars… They told me that it have been raining for days and it was on that day when i arrived the rain stopped. Thats y i’m so lucky to be able to see all the stars. AND i saw FIREFLY… just ONE firefly that flew past me.
Back at their place, there were more toasting and preparation for the wedding. We helped to paste all the "喜喜" words ard the hse. I was back in my room at ard 2am then took a gd rest.
The next morning i woke up at 6am and i witness the wedding ceremony. I managed to film how the bride enter the house and lighting the fire crackers to welcome her in. She was not allowed to leave the room until a certain time.
When noon arrived, there were banquet held to invite all the relatives. The bridegroom have to carry a tray of tea and the bride a tray of candies for the guest at every table. This is what i have never saw in S’pore b4. Furthermore, they have a total of 18 dishes for a meal. That was really alot.
After the lunch we manage to have some photographing sessions. We took some picture and chat then went for a short rest to prepare for the dinner banquet.
I helped the bride dress up and do some touch-up for her make-up. Then she have to stand at the entrance to welcome the guest with a tray of cigrattes. Really very interesting. When almost all the guest have arrived, we hurried to change to another gown before she enter into the restaurant.
That nite there were lots n lots of toasting. Every 5min there will be people coming to my table to give toasting. I drank till i have a beer belly. OMG!!!!
Aft all the guest have left, i helped the bride out with her hair-do. which took us ard an hour to help her remove those pins and wash off all the spray n glitter.
The next day, we actually planned to get some stuff from the market street but there were tai feng..sob sob… so i did not manage to get anything. Nothing at all… I turn out learning how to play their poker. N thats how i spend my day there. But during the nite time, there were banquet as well. But this time the banquet were meant for thanking all those people who have helped out. This time there were ard 6 tables onli. Alot people were drunk and they were dancing ard.. Actually it is really fun watching ppl who r drunk :X
That nite i did not slp at all. I was chatting with them till morning where i have to leave their place. All of us were sad to say GoodBye.
It was a tirring journey but i enjoyed myself.
