my speech...

is so good... i also have to put it up!! :)

hello! and good evening ladies & gentlemen.. first and foremost, i'll like to thank selina for the honour of being her bridesmaid and for the opportunity to speak... (she knows me pretty well, and yet have decided to take the risk, making the request all the more special and all the more touching)... so, thank you.

i'm the official matchmaker for yean and selina and i am very proud of it! (by the way, where is my chu kiok chou?!)

for those who don't know me, my name is poh chin. i have known yean since he was 8. and to me, he has always been the sweetest guy on earth. at one point in time, we were hanging out together for quite a bit... and we were discussing really "chim" stuff like what kind of woman he would want as his partner.

armed with that information, i went into PSA where i met my dahling - selina. she was seated in the cubicle next to ming. she had me at "harlo!"

when i saw her, i saw the word "MATCH" blinking above her head... she smiled! and then, there were little bright lights going round the work "MATCH"!! i believed that she was all yean had ever dreamt of~

so, all i did was i messaged yean via MSN "guess wat? i found your dream girl"...

then, there was no turning back.

he saw, he liked, he went for it.

how did he do it?

it started with a lunch in cyberjaya. there, they were formally introduced. although yean had already done groundwork and knew who she was, what she does, how she looked like and that she goes to fitness first. selina had no idea!

yean liked selina so much, he went for steps class in fitness first. those who know yean, they would never have imagined him doing dancy steps or participating in a steps class!!!!! suprise, suprise... he excelled in it! then he showered her with mp3s, stored in nifty looking thumb drives.

selina came to me one day and asked "why is your friend always giving me mp3s? i have these songs already!"

he was doing a lot of "training" in cyberjaya. we had starbucks delivered to our desks, mash potatoes delivered when braces were tightened, magnum ice cream, famous amos cookies... they say sweet stuff makes you happy... yep, we were happy to see yean.... always!

and isn't ironic that yean, who before meeting selina, never allowed anybody to take his photo.. was suddenly appearing in photos snapped by the ever trigger happy selina... and he was smiling in those photos!!!

isn't it amazing?? the power of love???.....

we wondered if he would succeed... i mean selina is smart, gorgeous, always hungry and yet body beautiful and extremely popular with everybody in the office. her smile, braces and all, truly brightens up your day. what are yean's chances???!

for those who knew yean well, they would know it all boils down to ROI. looking at the probability, it would not have been a strategic move to invest! he was eligible, but it was stiff competition out there. but for once, he threw ROI out the window, and did what his heart told him to do.

we knew he had succeeded when he was online on MSN and YM and there were no more messages coming in enquiring on selina and when she logs off, he disappears too!

out group of friends were very happy for him when selina and him got together. reason being, he simply deserves it! after all that effort! and they make a wonderfully cute couple. both very much go getters, both religiously believes in ROI, both love eating!

so, with such a gem in hand, yean would be very willing to let go of his very colourful past. now, can i invite yean on stage? (yean comes up)

(music to start)
yean, you've had your share of fun. and tonight, there is a need for closure! it's time to say farewell.... to .... tara patrick!!!.... debbie dallas!!! monica beluci!!!...sukaporn!!!... (his best of buddies to come up to stage, dressed in beautiful dresses and do lap dances and get group hug!)

yean, say goodbye to them.. and we look forward to your 25th anniversary, birth of your 13th child and many many more happy memories.

cherish selina always, and selina, don't worry... these guys won't let him bully you.

here's a toast to yean and selina! enjoy the journey...

teng kiu...
