Actual day- Evening
With the same mentality in the morning, i prepared myself for the wedding dinner. Thinking no reception duties, no emcee duties, no table monitoring duties. Just fluttering around to take beautiful pictures. :)
Together with my in laws, we went over to pick my mum and grandma's wheelchair and proceeded to Orchid Country Club for the dinner. My papa, grandma, uncle and aunt went on one of the brother's car. Upon reaching there, my dad told me the brother whom picked them seemed unhappy.
me: what happened?!
dad: we didn know the brother also ferrying his gf, so we 4 gotta squeeze in at the back. Its ok to squeeze lah... but we have to bring grandma's wheelchair too. However, there were some liquor in his boot already. Though if we tie the wheelchair with the elastic band, it should fit in nicely
*the brother then exclaimed "like tat wait my car damaged le!" looking displeased*
*"i call gray la.. tell him cannot.... then we see how." brother said grudgingly*
*brother's gf said "nevermind la... squeeze a bit can put in one"*
*"wait my car damaged la" brother insisted*
*dad didn want to bother my brother with small issues like this said "nevermind la, i ask my daughter to transport"*
me: liew.. why he like tat one...
dad: ya..
me: very attitude leh....
Few mins later, dad came to me.
Dad: cannot find these 3 people's name in the list.
Me: huh.. sure not...
*searched the whole list... *
Me: ya.. don have le... missed out 1 table meh? can it be in the bride's list? call brother to come over la
Brother: !!!! HUH.. dont have meh? shit...

Dad: another table also dun have leh..
Brother: shit... ok ok... i open the reserve table..
Me: Dun panic, see who is already here and who is confirm not coming. We can rearrange the seating
Bun: ya.. no worries, we rearrange first.
*copying names from here and there, moving and shifting, headcount and make sure the tables are not overloading*
Dad, me & bun: phew.. done... can liao can liao.. no panic..
3rd aunt and her family arrived and checked the guest list.
3rd aunt: oei.. can move xxx amd yyy over to our table then aaa and bbb over there.. so we can sit together?

About 7pm, we went over to the reception area and discovered no one was mending the tables. The bride's cousins are supposed to be doing the reception duties. Then, brother gave me 2 sets of the guest lists and told me to help out around the area. Ok.. Bun and me took our seats at the reception. The guests starting coming in groups shortly.Few mins later, dad came to me.
Dad: cannot find these 3 people's name in the list.
