The Hongsies Awards

For the sequence of major events that happened on 10May08,
Gnil would like to present the following Hongsies Awards to these recipients and thank them for their help... (in no order of merit)

MVP(Most Valued Player) Award goes to... (drumroll...)
Ms Tingfang
- for effortlessly multi-tasking through all operations - big or small -from dusk to dawn, and beyond... whilst not forgetting to taste the fishy sharksfin soup and enter a serious discussion with fellow guests on the ah bengness of the banquet manager... Kudos to her!

Most Meticulous Award goes to... (drumroll...)
Ms Delphine
- no amount of angpaos or jewellery items can get away from her eagle-glared eyes and fast-scribbling fingers... from difficult names of senders like Zim Po & Zhek Gong - she SPELLED them all, complete with detailed description of the sender, like which side of the groom&bride's families, and if it was accompanied with jewellery, eg, cupid box in pink bag... kowtow kowtow..

Surprisingly Diligent Award goes to... (drumroll...)
Ms Meiling
- she surprised us with her ultra enthusiasm to be PA to the bride.. from cleanin the feet, puttin the shoe, to touchin up of makeup, giapping the hair to make it straight, ensuring angpao boxes are kept safely etc... WITHOUT the slightest grumble or sulk... wow...

Youngest Contributor Awards goes to... (drumroll...)
Shermeen & Shernice
- these 2 flowergals nearly stole the bride's show away cos they were way too cute!!! (luckily the bride's cuter.. haha) They were so sharp-eyed that as soon as the bride moved the slightest inch, they will fly over to help her with the irritating gown train... They saved the bride's day, really...

Most Pia 拼 Award goes to... (drumroll...)
Photographer Paul Goh
- he laid on dirty grounds, stood on unbalanced chairs, cheered sulken-looking ah peks and ah mms with so much diplomacy, caught attention of bored babies... all on empty stomachs.. and was still cheerful and friendly by the end of the nite! Doesnt he deserve an award?

Mrs Hong waves Hello!

Okay, so I am now officially Mrs Hong...

Mm... still not quite used to that name yet...

Was deliberating abt what I shall call myself from now on - i wld like to keep my father's name - Tan - leh... Hey, it's one of the commonest surname in China ok...

Mdm Tan? (eeks, sounds so auntie)
Mrs Hong-Tan? (sounds so much like Hong Mao Tan rambutan)
Ms Tan? (later ppl say i act single)

Aiya, better stick back to Mrs Hong...

Well...
