8168

I've always dreamed of an outdoor wedding... a stroll by the beach or somewhere outdoor where it'd be less formal and more casual and romantic..
*imagine... wedding under the stars.... ahhh.. lovely*

It so happened that there was a wedding show organised by The Legends @Fort Canning Park last Sunday. And so we went..

Registration started at around 630pm.. we arrived slightly late but just nice before the event started. We checked our names against the list and we're in.
There was a lucky draw and so we dropped our number into their big lucky draw bowl.
Guess what's our no.?
lol.. 8168... coincidentally, that number happened to be my birthday (year/day/month).
Cool right?! So we thought "It's our lucky no! Sure WIN LAH!"

The show was about to start.. we took a seat and juz when the emcee was about to get the show started, *CRASH!!!*
The wind blew 2 of the candles-tree deco on stage down!! The candle holders broke and there was an awkward silence. Luckily no one was injured.. haha.. but to think the emcee tried to salvage the situation but saying that one of the advantages of having an outdoor wedding would be to have the light breeze embrace u...lol

Anyways, after the staff cleaned up the stage, the night went on with a wedding gown show, blah blah blah..

Then came cocktail dinner time. GOSH! It was buffet style and after getting the food, we had no tables to eat at. So we had to hold the plates on one hand while trying to figure out how to eat the noodles, rice and the other food. :P

After dinner, we couldn't decide on whether to stay and wait for the lucky draw or to leave early since there was like a 30 min break in the middle.
So.. but we thought since we got such a wonderful number, might as well stay... and so we did.

finally when the time came.... GOOD GRIEF!! it must have been prearranged!! All the numbers called started with 111x. How kelong can it be? anyway, finally when the emcee was about to announce the 3rd prize winner....... guess what he said!

"WAH! this is a very lucky number. Chinese people love these digits!! Very auspicious!!"

Dar and I looked at each other.. we held our breaths.....

"8"

"1".....

"7.....8!!!"

SHIT!
haha... what a load of bullshit! gave me all that hope and ended up with a "78" instead of a "68".

Sigh... and we went home feeling all cheated and we had only one word in our minds....

"Kelong la........"
