Flower Market in T-Centralen

Wedding in Malaysia seldom involve a lot of preparation by the bride and grooms. At most, they will be busy with the wedding dress, night gown, the suit for the groom. Rest of the things usually there will be people to help you take care or included in the service. Well, of course those wealthy enough have wedding planners and stuff.

For cousin, having to stay in Sweden and getting married there, a lot of things to prepare and do. Cost of living is superbly high. Thus, from wedding card down to the decoration in the restaurant and church (including table runners) are done by her and her husband.

One of the challenge is of course getting the flowers. That day was the second day after we reached Sweden, which is 1 day to go before the wedding. Flowers has been ordered but we have to go and collect it. So, the whole batallion of us, take the subway and went to this flower market which is at the town centre.

The flowers were amazing. For once in my life I saw so much nice flowers in the whole market. Different from Cameron Highlands, some of these flowers I have not seen in Malaysia.

By the time we finished getting all the flowers and walk around the market, we were hungry and settled ourselves in the restaurant for lunch. We took the set lunch which include appetizer - choice of different kind of bread, with salad, main course and a cup of coffee.

Well, we continued to walk around town and we find some interesting things around the town. We were snapping photos all the way.

And look who has fallen asleep?



By the time we decided to go home, it was about 3 pm. We still have a lot to do at home. Those flowers were made into a corsage for the family members. Then, we also have to make sure, everything required was packed and nothing left behind.
