Dear Sharon,

I like to share with you my enjoyable moment during the holidays. I was at a wedding function held

elaborate decorations like in a fairy tale.
I was one of the bride-maids. I wore a beautiful dress and had pretty flowers in my hair. During the
‘bersanding’, I was the busiest person entertaining the guests. I was just as busy as a bee. There was a live
band performance. I also helped to distribute ‘bunga telur’ to all the guests. It was the most memorable

hope to send some wedding photos to you as soon as possible.
