MY TRIP TO SRI LANKA FOR AMIL'S WEDDING pt 2

Finally the big day has come for amil and Heshini. Its their Wedding day on the 24th of Dec (Xmas eve!!! amil if u still cant remember than it is just too bad!!! hahaha) On that day morning we woke up very early coz amil say Livan will bring us to a florist and buy flowers for the bride's side. Because the bride have to leave house for the hotel to prepare at 9.45 so we have to leave house at 8.30 and Livan drove us to the florist to buy flowers. At first we were supposed to go to a florist but coz its too early so he brought us to a market nearby to buy flower from there. Livan oso dun neo wat to buy so we just let the guy that sells flower to decide lor. Coz usually in Singapore the bouquet consist of either rose or lily just one kind of main flower and than some gypsophila than with nice wrapping paper and ribbon does the trick but sigh... guys r guys they think more is nice loh ..... While waiting for the guy to get the flowers ready we explain to Livan the meaning of roses if he want to give to his GF, e.g. 1 red rose = only you, 3 red roses = I Love You, 11 red roses = one love one life and yellow roses are only meant for breakup and hahaha so funny say he will remember and will give his GF the correct flowers haha... Than we proceed to Heshini's house. when we reach her door, Livan call amil ask him what should we do, aml told him to just pass to the servants and go but Livan say " NONO i have a better Idea!! They will do the job for you!! " and he turns to look at us in a funny way... the next thing i neo we are in Heshini's house and sitting down in their living room and chatting with her mum and her hahaha... We left after that and headed for MAC DONALD'S for breakfast !! YUM YUM!!!
Than we slag at home the whole day and until evening we got all dressed up for the wedding!!!!! On the way to Hilton Hotel, started to rain haha i was so happy because it was supposed to be raining in dec but it has not even drip once since we came so i was super happy. Livan oso say if it rain on wedding day that it means that its very good. Once we at Hilton's carpark i saw amil's bridal car the moment i came down from Livan's jeep. WAH its nice loh!!! Than we proceed to hotel lobby and saw amil and Heshini taking photos there. Their customs is different, coz we will take photo b4 wedding than place the photos at the entrance but here they take on the wedding day... wah that day Heshini is SOOOO beautiful!!! wah when we were at the wedding reception, four of us realised that we were the centre of attention. No matter where we go people would look at us than when we sit down they will also look at us. Its soooo weird!! Livan was quite happy that nite coz he got to meet alot of his school mates. When we were sitted i asked Livan if izzit everybody is asking him about us he smiled and say no not everybody only 90% .... HAHAHA wat an answer!!! Chalith and his GF were sitted with us and that table was for 10 person but only 6 people were there. and i realised that not everbody showed up for the wedding.... Becoz the dinner will only be served at around 9pm (srilanka time) so we were served some roasted devilled cashew nuts maybe christ is hungry so she kept eating than Livan say her : that is not the buffeut for the night later still got food!! all of us laugh like crazy hahahaha... Than during the time where the newly wed goes around to take photo, Livan told us thatg there were alot of important people who attended this wedding. The table just beside us were the SUPERSTARS of sri lanka, the table behind us is a general and his family than there were other people like the prime minister of Sri Lanka, some generals, and the female minister is actaully the aunty if Heshini!!! wao i was thinking if there is any paparazzi there hahahaha sure will hit headlines for their local showbiz hahaha!!!! throughout the night, we four girls just plain entertain ourselves with our lame jokes and i oso dun neo my jokes can be so lame. hahaha Finally its time for us to go home so we took photo with the newly wed than go to Livan's Jeep and home sweet home!!! We still have to wake up early the next day coz we are going for a trip!!! ye!!!
On christmas day we woke up DAMN early like 5.30am coz we r going to Polonnaruwa and its a 5hr drive from amil house... so no choice loh... when all of us are ready we realise the most important person is not down yet and that is LIVAN!! he told us to be ready by 6.30 but this guy came down to the living room at 7am!! and still blame us !!!! finally YEH all of us are ready and here we come!!! All of us was so excited to leave the house but the big brother threw us a very SUPER question :" have you girls seen my car keys?!!" WHAT!!! He dun neo where he left the car keys so all of us were searching high and low, below the carpet in the car, the kichen, living room, dining table than suddenly he say : FOUND IT!! its been hanging on his pants!! he sure is forgetful!!! Finally we are ready to leave PHEW!!!....During the drive, me and Livan was chatting non-stop and the 3 gals behind are falling asleep... but i realised something, Livan is sick. he got my cough and is having sore throat... poor thing but too bad who ask him to share water with us hahaha.. on the way Christina as about temple and fortune telling so Livan drove us to a rock temple. When we reach i tought its just going up the temple behind us but i was super super wrong!!! that is the museum!! the real temple is at least more than 10 storeys high(see we were at the top of a hilll imagine the stairs we had to climb!!!) I was super out of breath and i stopped half way!! The rest continue to go up but after a while i decide to complete the stairs and too my surprise i was already reaching the top when i want to rest!! so in the eND I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TOP!!!! HURRAY!!!!! I only saw the outside of the temple coz christina is holding to the entrance tix so i walked around outside and than i saw them at the side taking photos. So i joined them and they were surprised to see me... hahaha i oso never tought i could make it!! SO PROUD!! After some photo-taking we went down again, this time we took the slope instead of stairs... Finally we were back to the jeep and continue our jouney to Polonnaruwa. Finally we were reaching Livan was so happy when we reach coz he tought we r going to stay at his FAV hotel Polonnaruwa Rest House. This rest house is facing this superb lake. Just imagine sitting just beside this lake with a drink and we could talk carp, and enjoy the view all night!!! This place is so nice!! Great view!!! But too bad its full.... But the other hotel that we are staying is just opposit this and its under the same company by Ceylon Hotels Corporation, Hotel Seruwa. Although the view is not as nice but overall it still ok... Once we checked in we went to the cafe for lunch coz we are all super hungry... Once we sit down i notice the logo on the plate and i say " we had been to the same restruant 2 yrs ago when we were going to amil's villa!!" I was so excited coz i still remember they serve superb food!! and yum yum all of them had 2 servings of rice although i only had one but i ate alot also!! The joke of the lunch was i ordered a pineapple juice and repeat my order 3 times but when they served the drink, i had a sip and yeks its papaya and its kind of milky... dun quite like it but no choice loh Livan was sitting beside me and the first reaction he had was " i tought u ordered a pineapple jucie?!!" my reply was since they have already done it, than just accept it... but it taste better with ice so i still manage to finish the food and drink. After that Livan drove us to World Heritage City of Polonnaruwa. Its the 2nd Capital after Anuradhapura. At there i had the most WAO experience there!!! We hired a tour guided and he introduced us to the place. we went around the place on Livan's Jeep and they guide was guiding us with his bike in front. we stopped at place to place and he introduced the history of the country. I really could not imagine with limited technology and tools they are able to build a city and can you imagine a dome shape Vata-Da-Ge and its bulit with 930MILLION bricks and they have a 1 km underground piping and wah what is Beijing compare to this ancient city!!! everything is just so organised and so had to imagine all this happen in the AD period!!! i was so impressed and was speechless!!! wah that was a really magnificient history class!!! After finishing the ancient city tour, we went back to the hotel and had a rest and shower... WAH the shower was REALLY COLD!!!!! Its ice water and aircon room... COLD!!! haha when i go and ask Livan wat time for dinner he also just finished his shower when he open the door the first word is "cooollllddd!!!!" haha he say 8.30 dinner so i went to inform the rest and had a nap than awhile later, a knock and Livan says he wants to have a walk at the lake so we all tag along and it was really worth the trip!!! The night was just sooo starry and sooo romantic and wats more its a XMAS night!!! wah perfect XMAS present!!! will we were walking by the lake, Livan suddenly stop and he walk towards two guys as it was too dark so we did not notice and the next thing i neo he was already chatting with them telling them where we are from, what are we doing here and blah blah blah... he's always ready to make friends with somebody he win loh!!!! Than we slowly strolled back to the hotel and enjoy our buffeut dinner. The highlight is he banana taste like orange and the papaya is sper sweet and i like the pineapple best. than after dinner, Livan ask some guys to sing for us i only remember two songs one is a song i listen 2yrs back and the other is a sad song although i dun understand the lyrics, i nearly cried while listening to it... sob sob~~~ After dinner we went to recep and check if there is any hot water for shower, in the end its because of water pressure if too many ppl showering at once, there will not be hot water.. ooo no wonder.... and the last thing of coz is to enjoy my SLEEP!!! YEH!!!!
