Very Boring

Yet again, I attended another wedding dinner last Sat. One word: Boring. I'm a friend of the bride, and I must say she was very clever to put our tables near the exit, coz we can zao first. Ha... Maybe after attending numerous Chinese weddings, such style might take some time to get used to bah.

She's an Indian Christian, therefore there wasn't a 10-course meal for us too look for; we were treated to a 10 different types of food buffet. The vegeterians were being served though. So, there wasn't any programme list for us to see what events were coming up. After they graced the red carpet, we were treated to almost an hour of waiting and some interesting music from her father-in-law who played the electric guitar. Cool huh? From afar, the father-in-law's artist hat which looked like Elvis Presley's hair.

After 1.5 hours, the last 2 rows of tables left only 1 table of people plus 4 ladies at another table, all from JYPS including, ex-JYPS. We were so paiseh when the bride was saying her thank-you speech and waved at us. Ha ha, she herself also joked, "Thanks to my colleagues, although I don't see many, ha ha ha."

The groom & the bride were saboed to do an Indian dance without their knowing. They only knew they had to dance, so when they came out again after the bride changed, the 2 of them laughed when the music was played.

I left at around 10pm, without seeing the bride and taking a photo with the couple.

Still, it was great to see the old colleagues again coz I did not see them for more than a year already. Some of them couldn't recognize me coz they couldn't link the shitty-looking me in year 2004 and dress-up me. Wah ha ha. The top popular question was "What are you doing now" followed by a "How long more?" after I answered I'm in Uni. The third popular question was whether am I attached. I gave a standard answer of "Not yet". One teacher very cute, she was asking me "how long more", which I answered 6 more months. Then she asked me whether "Am I attached", before I could answered, she answered for me, "6 more months again right?"

Lol.

I think the most classic question asked was, "Very sianz hor, to sit with Mr. S?" FYI, Mr. S was my boss when I was in JYPS. I act act and gave a very sianz face, and we both laughed. I think it happens everywhere, nobody likes to sit with a Boss who is so full of himself and talked non-stop when started.

I was very touched when the JYPS cleaning auntie came over to say hi to me when she was leaving. By right, I should go over instead.

The people who left first were all Chinese, damn malu, eat finished liao then leave. Actually, partly because we did not know what to expect. No wonder our tradition of Chinese wedding dinner is to serve 10-course, not only does it look generous, it also helps to kep the guests stay put!

Hor?
