Happy Newlyweds.

Attended my godmum’s eldest daughter’s marriage today at Hilton Singapore. 
Quite a fancy wedding, good food, good service. Godmum’s 4 daughters were really pretty, like fairies came down to Orchard Road. Really envy them. 

Simple makeup for the night. I also don't know how to draw too complicated ones. HAHA. 

Post-edited the photo. But the lighting at the hotel was yellow. 

Dinner menu for the night. 

The herbal empress chicken was quite nice! And I thought that the cod fillet was good.

But the Squid Ink noodle was abit too filling. Didn't eat much for the Squid Ink. 

Wedding small gifts. The gifts were placed at alternative seatings. Went with my mum, so we got one each.

The left one is a luggage tag, the right one is not a glove. It's a coaster for cups (prevent marks on the table). I think. 

During the wedding, many thoughts about the future ran through my head. 

“When will it be my turn?”

“Who can/will I invite?”

“Where will it be held?”

“Who will be my sisters?”

“How much will it cost?”

“Will my parents be able to entertain?”

To satisfy my thirst for curiosity, I googled “how much does a marriage cost in Singapore”. And it came up to ~$32K-$85K (as of 2010, by Perfectweddings.sg  and includes honeymoon. Without honeymoon should be $75K?) and a breakdown by sgfinancialfreedom over here. This made me think ALOT. Like what kind of houses do I want to get? BTO flats or Cash Over Valuation (COV) flats? And more importantly, HOW MUCH MONEY DO I HAVE NOW? How much money can I save in the next 5 years? 

Now marriage scares me. Because I am not working, not saving. Many times I think that money can buy happiness. Rather than buying happiness, money supports happiness. You may prove me wrong, but being poor, you may be happy and satisfied, but one day you will think why are you born into this condition and take up all the suffering. 

Then again, no use thinking so much. 'Cause I believe a path will open up for me one day!!! 
Wish Buddha can guide me to my correct path so that I do not have to take so much hardships and let me be successful in my life.
