Went to Maureen's wedding last night and took up the job as an emcee for her big day.
A bit unbelievable right?
Lol.
I only begin to feel nervous that morning itself and tension went higher when in the afternoon and I actually started asking myself, "How did I agree on taking up the task
earlier on?"
However, this is definitely a no regret issue, I have had a great evening!
My class was supposed to finish at 5pm and I thought it could finish like may be 5 to 10 minutes earlier, but it didn't and instead it went overtime by almost 20 minutes? And good thing there is a cab right outside the school but by the time I rushed down it was already 5.45pm.
Luckily, at first I thought the solemnization starts at 6pm, which means that I only have 15 minutes to change, make up and tidy my hair, while it turn out that the ceremony starts at 6.30pm.
Another very fortunate thing is that...
Weiting is around, she is fantastic with her skills in make up and hairdo!
Knowing that I was in a rush, Marliana let Weiting to do my hair and make up first and I tell you, I have never ever feel so much like some celebrity before. Lol. Imagine that I was reading my script while Weiting was doing my hair and Khadijah was helping me with my make up. Quite a scene, I probably only lack a "manager" to brief me on what I am going to do later *Glance at Fadhlina (hey, I thought you are our band's manager?)*
And...
The fun part is that because it was such a rush, Khadijah attempted to help me with some eye shadow and guess what?
She turned me into a "panda", yes, literally.
When she said done and I looked into the mini-mirror, I laugh till cannot stop and this lovely babe was like trying to convince herself, "Looks ok from far, Fione you are going on stage so a lil' bit more is ok.
"
Then I laughed, and tell her, "Babe, I still would be sitting down eating you know, and there are people around the table and all of them are going to spit out their tea
the moment they see me."
Muahaaahaaa
...
Not that I don't appreciate her help but it was just FREAKING FUNNY and I laugh my head off!!!
Side track a bit, I think Weiting don't have to worry
about making a living if she ever choose to leave nursing man, serious. Thanks for turning me from a noob into someone glamourous
~
Ran down to the function room to meet up with Maureen's brother Winfred, my co-host for the night to discuss about the rundown and then the solemnizing ceremony.
Congrats Maureen and Keiffier!
And in the end I realized that I was actually not very much needed so I went back to the room whereby Weiting helped me with applying the fake eye lashes. First time in life I am having such artificial stuff on me and was a lil' excited, and Weiting asked me to close my eyes and keep it close after she stuck those things on me.
Guess what?
A couple of minutes later, I asked her if I could open my eyes, and she realized that she forgot to tell me
that I could do so, only to realize that...

MY UPPER AND LOWER LID WERE GLUED TOGETHER?!?!!!?!!!!
I was like, "Err... Wei... Weiting ah..... Err... I think.... I think I cannot open my eyes eh.......
"
She was like, "HUH?!
Which one?????"
"Errrr..... Errr.... BOTH! Hahahaaahaaaa.......
"
It was hilarious and I laugh till I cannot stop with my eyelids glued together!!!
She managed to separate them in the end but that left me with my fake lashes came loose towards the later part of the night. Lol.
And I finally join the crowd like at almost 8pm.
It was a very interesting and valuable experience I would say, my legs are shaking
while I have to control and focus hard to suppress that trembling voice which was already at the throat
, and I did it
!
=D
-Phew-
But seriously speaking, I was telling Peixuan, Winfred's girlfriend that actually I am not so worried about saying the wrong things, I am more worried about if there is a chance that I might tripped and fell on the stage, and this seems to be my ever biggest worry all time
, just like a couple of years back and I was supposed to be an usher for the Oncology Support Group event which I need to be properly dressed including the heels and having to move up and down the stage
.
Everything went kinda smoothly, except for a lil' change in the sequence of the event when we are already on stage, nevertheless, I have enjoyed myself last night~
Thanks Maureen
for giving me the honour to be your host for such a major life event of yours
~
And...
Thanks lor Fadhlina, for telling me that I sounded like a MRT annoucement voice.
Pfffttt~
Will load up some pictures of that night later...
=)
