A day before the wedding:
While being caged in the house, all I did was to stare out from the balcony… 
The views were interesting… The place where Sissie lives is called “Royal Domains” and is located quite near to KLCC – KL City Center. Just off Jalan Kuching, it doesn’t take too long to reach some of the famous places and malls of KL. 
One evening, we went out to nearest Tesco to buy some essential supplies for my survival for coming days. Before Tesco, we loitered in near by shopping complexes and I noticed that one of them had many international brands along with “Circuit City”. Not sure if this Circuit City is in anyway related to Circuit City of US as later has already been closed down. 
Of course, this international brand is also available here and in abundance.
In Cold Storage shop, I could find frozen parathas with no onion and no garlic. I also could pick up Patak’s pickle which became the companion to these parathas for my upcoming lunches and dinners.
From Wednesday Sep 8th onward, Sissie and PC (Cheang told me that Cheang is his family name and his name is Pei Chin… so now onward, he is called PC) took off from the working and final preparation for wedding started in full swing.
One afternoon, we went to the bridal shop for Sissie’s gown testing…
Its very surprising for me Indian to find out that most of the weddings here use bridal shops for all wedding dresses, makeup and pre-marriage photo shoot. While photo-shoot was understandable (as it needs a good studio setup), it was surprising for me to know that these bridal shops are a one-stop solution for all wedding needs including the wedding gown for the actual wedding. It surely makes sense to rent the gown which you are not going to wear anytime afterwards.
Anyway, this bridal shop named Deva Couture was very poor in service and customer satisfaction though. Sissie’s gown was too tight and it popped off the zipper when she tried it first time. Once it was fixed, she tried it again and after another one more alteration, it was ok. Then we found that the gown was very crumpled and needed ironing. The shop said that its iron has broken and it cannot iron. We had to fight with the shop to get the gown ironed and pick up next day. Looking at the run-down condition of the front of the shop, the interiors and such pathetic customer service, we felt that it was a mistake to choose this bridal shop and they will not recommend it to anyone else.
From the bridal shop, we went to Ali Yaa – the restaurant where the wedding dinner is arranged.
The place looked very nice and the people there were very cordial. All arrangements were getting in place and they honored every of the requests Sissie and PC had made.
Later, we went to One Utama mall. While Sissie preferred to be roaming on her own, me and PC walked few floors, window-shopped in M&S, GAP and few of my favorite shops. We also picked up some stationery and wooden letters for Just Married sign. Later, being very thirsty, we stopped by at Juice Work… 
While our juices were being prepared, I used the time to take some pictures, I caught PC using the best of his temporary freedom… 
We met this fella while hunting for Sissie… He is so healthy resembling to Michelin guy… 
Later, we found out that Sissie was hybernating in this Starbucks. 
Once we reached home, PC got busy in making of the sign… 
His hard labor was rewarded by Sissie with the special face decoration… 
Next day morning, we went to Kajang for the wedding rehearsal in the church. This is also an interesting learning for me…
Since the wedding was in the church, the counselors preferred Sissie and PC to undergo a rehearsal to understand what actually will happen in and during marriage. This way, both bride and groom are aware of the happenings during wedding and are not caught with either ignorance or any surprises during the ceremony.
Later in the afternoon, me and PC went to the bridal shop for the car decoration… It was Hari Raya holiday but the shop was aware of that Sissie’s wedding was next day to this holiday.
The lady turned up for the decoration and her body language showed that she wasn’t enjoying her work on holiday. We had to push her for decent finishing work.
This is how the car looked just before the back side decoration finished.
Later in the evening, Sissie’s parents and brothers arrived and I had a good time with all of them. Later in the evening, I joined Sissie and Mom for a trip to One Utama for her cosmetic enhancements for the next day’s wedding ceremony. While she was busy with that, I loitered in different shops in One Utama, used Starbucks’ free WiFi to check my mails, updated my tweets and four square locations.
