Punjabi Wedding Part IX - Wedding dinner

We reached the groom's house at 6pm.

The bride is dressing up. There are many ideas about how should the make up be, how should the scarf be etc etc. The groom is having his shower and dressed up. Finally the bride and the groom are ready.

As the bride is hungry, her mum in law made milo and bring in some biscuits for her. She share with her husband, the milo must be extra sweet that day.

Around 7pm, the groom's sister drove the 4 of us to the dinner place first. It is a old chinese hall, Wan Hua Function Hall. This was the hall of old primary school. I got to know that my collegue studied that last time, hehe.

We waited seated at a round table outside the hall, waiting for the rest to come. People start coming in. There is free flow of beer outside, and in no time all the drinkers are siting around us. We got abit uneasy, pple stared at us when walking pass so we got up and stand in one
corner. The groom's mother tot we are leaving, quickly got up to us and asked where are we going haha.

Around 8pm, the bridal car arrived. The drum, singing and dancing started. The couple got down and we all follow behind and entered the hall. The couples and parents were seated at a long table at the side of the hall. We are seated at a round table nearby. There were performance, dances and drum.

Food were already served before we are seated, so the moment we sit down, we can start eating. Curry, rice, vege and rose water. After the performance, they shifted the table aside and guests start dancing.

We deceided to go back to the hotel, so we went outside to call for cab. We called the hotel recept and asked her to help us to book but she said she can't. Before we step out of the hotel, the receptionist said we can and now another girl on duty said no. BB was pissed and she tell the recept off and she finally agreed to help.

We waited for a while, no news of the taxi, called back to the hotel, the receptionist said she alrdy called and gave us the number asking us to check ourselve. I called the Radio Taxi, luckily the lady speak chinese. Then I found out that the recept had called the cab to the wrong place!!! We are so damm pissed, luckily the lady from Radio Taxi is helpful. She help us to get a cab, she said tat as it is sat nite, alot of cab driver is off, she told us to get the driver to come back the 2nd round, she will try to get another cab for us.

One cab arrived, luckily chinese, I asked the uncle to come back 2nd round and we agreed to place deposit. The bride's sister and family went first. The 2nd cab came and we sent the bride's brother and family back. The first cab return and fetch us after a while.

Because of that receptionist, we finally got back to hotel after standing outside the hall for 3 hours arranging for the cab. I must praised the service of Radio Cab, Ms Li, she even bother to call back and check if we were all in the cab, and she is calling from Malaysia to Singapore Handpohe.
