Union of Two Souls #2 Episode 2

The night before it all, one thing must be done. While undoubtedly a culture of the Western world, it has seeped into that of others. Therefore, instead of calling it a bachelor party, we call it a buffet dinner, for feasting is one thing we enjoy, do we not?

Such a big event it is that nothing must go wrong! All the discussions, contingency plans, surveys and detailed planning really paid off! How my adoration for the setting cannot be expressed with mere words!

And if you perk your head upwards, the romantic chandelier will throw sparkles into your eyes.

The food was fantastic. Every now and then, someone would get a gastronomic pang, and yet not get enough. The satay, kerabu. banana chocolate cake were hits!

That would be the awesome part. For the fun part, our job for the event was to be baby-sitters for the many parents needing a bite. Such innocuous laughter and carefree souls! Sometimes I long for us cousins to take a step back to the days of youth again.

Till the next time!
