here comes the bachelorette x 2

So after about a week from my bachelorette trip with my bridesmaids, I had another bachelorette party and this time it's with the girls I've spent my hingusan years with and sayang setengah mati!

It was a double bachelorette for this party because there are two November brides-to-be within our clique!!! Ellia's will be 3 weeks from mine and I cannot be more happy sharing a bachelorette party and wedding month with this darling. Because Ellia and I? We go WAY back. 

We first knew each other from kindergarten, before going to the same primary school and becoming good friends, and naturally, we ended up in the same clique when we went to the same secondary school! Went our separate ways when she opted for JC whereas I opted for poly (I refused to step into JC even though I made the cut, much to my old man's dismay HAHA sorry I inherited your stubbornness, Ayah! Well, at least I found my jodoh in poly, kan?! Haha) but we stayed good friends throughout because kitaorang have been meeting and catching up during parties and dinner sessions with the other girls every other month for the last few years. 

Okay scratch that - for the last TEN freaking years. 

Which is pretty much the idea for our bachelorette party - it's been ten freaking years since our graduation. Lama or what!!! So kirakan ala ala #throwback to our green young years lah gitu.

DIY school logo lovingly made by our mommy-to-be Iffah can you believe it!!!!! This girl's attention to detail is superb, ballz. Oh, and we obviously have more pictures than that lah but everything else were in albums that the girls brought along for the party and we shrieked and giggled over during the course of the night. (Glad we've all gotten over our "changing faces of boyfriends during almost every outing phenomenon" by the way hehehehehe)

Didn't know what the girls planned so it was again weird not knowing what was in store for me that night! Both brides-to-be were blinded-folded and driven to a secret location - I think we made it very difficult for Team Escort because we were so kecoh and noisy and kept pestering them to reveal the theme and location of the party hahahahaha. Kesian dorang kena handle kita!

(Our modus operandi for bachelorette parties: People will be assigned to Team Prep, who will make arrangements for hotel booking, food and decorations, and Team Escort, who will be in charge of prepping the bride-to-be and eventually escorting the bride-to-be to the party.)

Okay lah we cut the kecoh nak mampos blind-folded walk from carpark to hotel room, cut the shrieking choruses when blindfolds were taken off, cut the chattering at 1000000km/h short - our party was at - drum roll, butter roll, perut roll - The Fullerton Hotel woohoo!!! Room was awesome and came with Bvlgari toiletries which made me smell like A MILLION BUCKS. Loved it!

"Welcome to the Zany Green Parade" bunting! Hehe. Lovingly crafted by Iffah tooooo!!!

(Zany green parade was our school's sort-of annual cross country run event, by the way. I say sort-of because not every student has to take part in the cross country run - thank God for that! Each class only needs to elect 10 runners to participate in the actual run itself whereas the rest of the class dresses up according to our own chosen theme and parade down the designated route at East Coast Park. It was fun as hell - we get to dress up silly and showcase our class camaraderie with class chants and cheers... very happy festive stuff.)

 Super yummy food by Liyana's mother!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO YUMMY.

Thank you God for giving my girlfriends and I mothers who are great cooks! Please let me be a great cook once I have kids so they can show off to their friends too HAHA.

Someone decided it would be a fabulous idea to bring along two of her old pinafores haha it was a faaaaabulous idea indeed!!! I still feel resentful over the fact that my supermother threw away my old pinafores, by the way. Barang legend pergi buang pulak!!!!! Pfft >:(

Oh ya, actually kan, when the girls told Ellia and I to wear something "green" it was a bit of a giveaway lor. Why else kan nak kena pakai green segala kan??? Takkan party theme is environmentally friendly, go green, sort of thing kan?! Mangkuk pe.

The morning after. Ellia was making the bed when Rai and I screamed at her to stop. Lol.

I shall end this off with pictures of Ellia and I during our primary school and secondary school period, even though I know Ellia will scream at me for the next three months and hate on me for little longer than that. But it's okay lah - not like she can hate me forever ape, we've got about 21 years of friendship that can help us withstand such a falling out hur hur hur. 

Plus Ellia is really the sweetest girl I know, so I know she will forgive me!!! The only thing that irritates me about her is her inane obsession at cleaning everything up and making the beds even during hotel parties when we have housekeeping for that eh. Contoh isteri mithali, this one, you all must emulate her okay. (Cheh you all eh. Diri sendiri tak nak suruh emulate eh.)

Thank you Ellia for being a great friend throughout these 20 odd years of changing hairstyles, changing hormones and changing boyfriends. Let's run this final lap together okay, even though I always joke that your "running" is really my "jogging" HAHA! 

And THANK YOU to our (retired) geng cilakaz for throwing us the most wonderful party evarrr. Here's to a few more bachelorette parties, upcoming baby showers and housewarming parties! Looks like our conversation at the school canteen about our futures together has materialized lah, korang :,)
