The first influx of overseas relatives (from Malaysia) for Val & Andrew's wedding has already taken place during the past few days. Dad's eldest sister, Aunty Jenny, came with Uncle Jimmy during the weekend. They will be staying with Uncle Paul & Aunty Daisy - Aunty Jenny & Aunty Daisy are very close. Then on Wednesday nite, 4 of the 5 Lai family members arrived in Brisbane - Aunty Carol (Dad's youngest sister) came with her husband Uncle Steven & the younger 2 of their 3 children, Stephanie & Jonathan. The Lai family will be borrowing my car during their visit. Steph & Jon's brother, Nicholas, is tied up with his college in Malaysia & therefore can only come here on the last week of March, just before the wedding.
Oh, and that's not all. During the next week or so, more relatives & friends will head to Brisbane for the wedding. Hmm, let's see. Nicholas will fly here with Aunty Susan (Dad's middle sister). My brother's (Ryan) fiancee, Nicole, will also be coming. That will be followed by relatives from my mother's side, from Perth - Aunty Mui Lin (mum's second youngest sister), Uncle Siong (mum's youngest brother a.k.a. Stephen) & his wife Aunty Fong (a.k.a. Melinda) will come just a couple of days before the wedding. These 3 will stay only briefly, before returning to Perth. Aunty Lin's husband (Uncle Vernon) couldn't make it. Then, there's our very close family friends from KL, the Wang family - Mr & Mrs Wang, Paul (who lives in US, not sure if his American wife is coming), Luke & Eunice. Mark Wang is already based in Brisbane as he's studying in UQ. Unfortunately, the other son, James, cannot make it - he's very tied up with his studies in Waterloo, Canada.
That's a lot of people. All here to celebrate Val & Andrew's big day. It's going to be huge & I'm very excited about it!
