Today was the big day for Cheryl and Alex! Not their actual “big day” though, they already had the ceremony in AU and were having this dinner here just for us.

Coincidentally, it was also the first time I got to try out my new camera: a Panasonic Lumix FZ-8 which is an old model but came with a good price :). Well OK not really a coincidence, I kind of rushed the buy so I could take pictures. My sister broke my old camera a few years back and I’d never bought one since.

I think Macy summed it up pretty well in her short speech when she said that knowing that Cheryl was such a careful, cautious person, Alex must be really some guy to make it all the way through; the longer part of the their relationship being long-distance nonetheless! It was both funny and nice to seem them “glammed up” in their wedding photoshoot pics as well.

I got only one really good pic with my camera tonight - well OK I have to admit my sister took the pic but someone was blocking my view…

I think some of us who knew her through the years were wondering if she was thinking “Am I filling the glasses symmetrically?”

Her sister Debbie performed a cute number with her bf on guitar, for the life of me I can’t remember the song right now but I was humming along to it then.

Dinner was Cheryl-worthy I think. Forgot to take pictures but dessert was something I had never seen before - soya bean milk with quail eggs. It was an interesting combination. All the aunties in the hall were shooting warning looks at the uncles though (quails’ eggs have high cholesterol).

Anyway all the best in Australia Cheryl… we will all miss you :( keep in touch!
