Today's evening was to be spent at the solemnisation ceremony of Ms Wong, 4o1's Biology teacher, and her fiancé, Scottz Lip (yeap, Scottz with a 'z'). The 4o1ers going to the ceremony met at Clementi MRT Station by 4.45pm and we walked to a nearby carpark where shuttle buses would take us to Sentosa's Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort Singapore, the venue of the ceremony. Looking at the attire of everybody, I almost felt like this was another Graduation High Tea.

We arrived at the hotel well ahead of the start of the ceremony. After signing a guestbook, we walked onto a field overlooking the horizon. Coincidentally, the field faced the west, so that the ceremony would be held with the sunset and the ships on the sea as the lovely backdrop. While waiting for the bride and groom to arrive, we snapped pictures (some with the flower girls and a little boy named Glenn [I think]) and took drinks and snacks served by waiters and waitresses.

The masters of ceremony invited all guests around to the spot where the solemnisation would take place. The bride, Ms Wong, beautifully dressed, appeared at around 6.30pm. Together, Scottz and Ms Wong walked to the table in front. The solemnisation then took place, blah blah blah. And then it was over; Ms Wong was now officially Mrs. Scottz Lip. The photo-taking session came next. The 4o1ers took their photos with Mrs. Lip after 4o2er's turn, and it wasn't exactly easy; there were at least 5 cameras and everybody were probably looking at different cameras when photos were taken.

We stayed around for a while after our photos were taken. Finger food were served around by the waiters and waitresses to the guests. I had some before we left on the shuttle bus service of the hotel back to mainland Singapore. We had our dinner at the Seah Im Food Centre, after which we went for a walk in the HarbourFront Centre and sat down on the floor in a quiet corner of the mall and played Truth or Dare. Miraculously, Quan Ming wasn't hit thoughout the game, and Amanda was probably the unluckiest person that day. We played the Truth part with the first few victims, after which the dare for the last three persons were to call another 4o1er and play pranks on them. We ended at about 9.30pm and headed back home.
