I know I know, I am a bit TOO WOLS to blog about the Crossroads WD, since it was 3 weeks ago kind of thing... But due to busyness and waiting for photos, I can oli blog on it now...
Anyway, I had so much fun at Bintan that I nearly don wanna come back to Singapore. Since I am involved in both the drama and wedding choir, I went there on Friday (the actual wedding was on Saturday afternoon). Together with 90% of the cast, the jiemeis and brothers and the couple themselves, we checked in and boarded the ferry at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal at 9am.
Upon reaching Bintan, we checked out and boarded the bus to our apartments. 4 rooms were allocated: Me, Erika, Liz and Pris in one room, the guys in one room, Thati, Rubez, Serena and Jasmine in one room and the rest of the girls in one room. We went for lunch in a restaurant at an outdoor kind of shopping centre. The food there was cheap and good. Guess wat I ate?
Ans: Fried Rice with REAL CRAB!!! Cost: S$5.00
I got a shock of my life as this was the first time I ever seen Fried Rice with real crab for S$5. I was actually expecting the crabs to be, you know, crabstick, lots of it. After that we did what Singaporeans always do all year round: shopping! I bought this cute and nice batik tube and I love it so much! It costed me S$17 though... I bought a dark pink sleeveless top for S$6. Then we went for rehearsal at the venue itself.
The place was near the sea and it was very beautiful. We had rehearsals with lots of changes in the script. We did a dry run and made changes pertaining to our standing positions, our going in and going out, dance, timing, etc. Then we went to the beach to play! To my amazement, the sand was very fine and very nice to step on, comparing to the sand at the beach in Singapore, which is not that fine.
After that, we went for dinner at a very cosy restaurant opposite the open air shopping centre. We were supposed to be there by 7.30pm, but due to the bus was delayed at Nirwana Gardens (the actual wedding location), we reached at abt 8.30pm. The lady boss and one of her workers was very kind as to wait for us till then. Not only that, when we reached late, they welcomed us with huge smiles. I was actually expecting them not to be too happy as they were having their fasting month and were supposed to close at around 7.30pm. We felt so bad to have them wait for us for so long. We had our dinner and proceeded back to our apartments to prepare for a full dress rehearsal in Joy's Supreme room.
There, there are changes again. My lines, which was originally in Chinese (as it was supposed to be in Chinese Church), was changed to English as the words spoken by me are not smooth at all. After it was changed, it was a lot better as I feel more comfortable to speak in English than Chinese (if you want me to translate it myself, that is!)
After the rehearsal, its time to BATH!!!! After bathing, we wento down to fellowship in Joy's room. Our handsome chefs, Vincent and Jiarong, cooked for us. I had no chance to eat the food as I was too tired and went up to rest.

Our chefs amongst the guysThe next morning, we woke up at around 6am and met at around 7pm. We had breakfast at the same place where we had our dinner the night before. It was buffet style breakfast and it was nice! After breakfast, we went back to pack our stuff and got ready to go to Nirwana Gardens for the actual thing.
When we reached, Mediacorp crew was already there. We prepared for soundcheck plus standing position before the actual thing started. MDC was recording our rehearsals, so the whole wedding (maybe?) will be telecasted on Channel 8 in around Nov. Telecast date is not confirmed yet...
