Knowing the long journey ahead, foods were ordered in the multiply of 4 sets which end up excess and force was used against the heng-dai to finish it. Thanks to our giant, Chia Kai for sapu the balance of the food. To much of food joy, the photographers missed to take the
groom's photo. Nevertheless, the group do not miss the group-photo-taking session with the groom waiting in car.

Sharp 8.00 a.m., journey begun with continuous photo taking session despite driving.
We safely reached bride's house, Tg Sepat at 9.30 a.m. where the chaos soon to be begun.

The event begun with 5 selected heng-dai to put on the pampers and another 5 heng-dai to write on the pampers with MOUTH.

The second round of torture was begun with the heng-dai's leg dip into pail of ice water and each were given an ice-cream to finish it.

The subsequent 3rd round was the most excited and hilarious with tying a giant banana on the groom's and the heng-dai were supposed to finish it. Upon Mata's hesitation, the groom with no chance of failing, has pushed Mata head for the 1st bite where the laughing voices that can bring the whole house down surrounded the environment.
Followed by Oldman and Mata eating the banana together while Bush & Ah Liong eagerly awaiting their turn.

Upon completion of the three round tortures, the heng-dai managed to penetrate into the house. Again, the house nearly brought down by the wilderness of the heng-dais.

The torturing does not end, the heng-dais were asked to give a 20-times pumping but our generous heng-dais promised to give more by sending Mata as representative (he was played out).

Subsequently, an "ice ball" were taken out by the ji-mui that consist the room key frozen in the ball. The heng-dais are supposed to melt it to get the key without breaking it. Turn by turn, the heng-dais come out all sorts of ideas to get the key.

Upon getting the key out, again, the resistance was to give angpow with the sum satisfied by the ji-muis. Four angpows were given but no news of opening the bride's door. The groom was required to show his sincerity by singing loudly to touch the bride's heart.

With all sincerity and hard work, the bride agreed to open the door and the photographers storm into the room to get a good position for photo taking.

The event continued with tea ceremony and back to Kuchai Lama for another tea ceremony.
