2 ladies stole the night!
One was a very young 9 year old girl but with a big voice eerily like Jacqueline Victor and the second, a not so old new bride of what was for years the most eligible bachelor of Malaysia if not Asia (No…Not Pak Lah!)
Mum being her usual elegant self, welcomed The Regent of Perak whose new bride stole the show. Raja Puan Besar Perak is not so Besar. She was exquisite, tall, slim and exotically beautiful! Needless to say that she was the main centre of attraction even though bevy of beauties was on hand at the dinner.
Mum & the prince!
We all wasted our whole day doing up our hair, makeup, last minute alteration to the dress, when in actual fact all men’ eyes were on her only!
Something funny happened though. I congratulated her for her recent marriage and smiling she said something that sounded like ‘Cheeeh’! The whole night we were trying to decipher her meaning…was it thank you in a foreign language, was it short for ‘Chewah’ or was it something else altogether?? Hours later, we concluded that it was either ‘Toh Cheh’ i.e. thank you in Chinese thinking I was one…. thus the minahsepet trademark or I was probably short of hearing that she actually said ‘Terima Kasih’ and I only caught the end of it…damn! I better set appointment with my ENT doctor.
Anyway, food was scrumptious! I got my extra bulging 3 inches thicker love handles to prove it…double damn!
Sadly, for few years to come, this would be our last formal event with the crazy sister, El since she’s leaving us in early July. The family came in full force to take the opportunity to pre-celebrate her upcoming independence. Crikey! Anything you do……stay away from the stingrays ok!! It was also my parents' anniversary.
(Picture: managed to snap only 2 crazy sisters with cousin. Crazy sis, Pink was flirting with other boys, as usual)
But all was not lost as the charity dinner achieved its target to help the poor villagers of Parit Buntar, Perak.
