My new colleague from the Philippines invited me to go Manila for her wedding on 11 Nov 2011!
This wedding in the Philippines will be her 2nd wedding ceremony. Her first was held in Singapore, but her husband wants to hold another traditional one in the Philippines on the very special date 11/11/11 just for her. So sweet :)
I was really surprised about her invitation as she has just joined the company for only 3 weeks. She mentioned that if she could, she would invite everyone but alas she couldn't :(
Even more surprising is that she asked me to be her god-mother! I was shocked when I first heard her say it, but after further clarification, I found out that in the Philippines, the god-mother is like a bridesmaid, just that it is a level higher than a bridesmaid. Wonder why they call it god-mother... hmmm
I was really stoked when I receive her invitation and really excited about the idea of attending a foreign wedding.
Was contemplating really hard and I almost agreed to it... BUT... It suddenly dawn on me that I have my dragonboat training. Aiya... and the date is sooo close to regatta! Luckily I remembered on time else it wouldn't be nice if I agreed to attend and backed out again at the last minute.
Also I would want to be with my team mates supporting them for the biggest DB event in Singapore.
Hopefully I will have another chance in future to attend an overseas wedding :)
