wedding

No I am not getting married. Emm, not just yet. I mean jodoh dan ajal di tangan tuhan. So when the time comes, I will announce about it. But not to sure when is the time. I was so shocked when I got a call from jude shrieking “how could you not tell me you getting married” and whatnot, and I was like WTF, where on earth did you get this idea from?

And it was from my last posting, and close friends who knows me, knows I would not write something like that if it aren’t big. Well it is big, but be rest assure, it is not about me getting married. Although, it is important, I have other things to do first.

Speaking about marriage, I was in two weddings just now. One of a friend of mine who married a Bomba diver and another one a daughter of a lecturer in the place I work. It wasn’t my friend though, its Erin and Richard’s friend, I just go there for the food.

I just love wedding, it reminds me of how pathetic my life is. Apart of that, I love to eat wedding food (which basically are lousy), because it is just different with the ambiance, and people eating in one table sharing food and stories, although they don’t know each other. It’s just a place, where everyone goes to see happy people and be happy. Well maybe except, if the bride or the groom was in love with someone else, and married someone else instead. That would be problem and at least one people will not be happy for sure. But parents too can be unhappy later when they see the bills and compared the profit they get from salam keruk keruk.

And Malays, being Malays, like to compete with others in so many ways, including a wedding ceremony. But one thing they don’t realize, all wedding look the same. The food, the dais, the flower arrangement, the door gift (usually giving in single, not in pair or in a set of item, so most door gift will end up in the dumpster and being unimportant and add unrecyclable garbage to the world.

And another thing I see is malays like to double standard their guests. There are actually door gift for the VIPs with at least a fererro rocher in the box, while the rest will only receive sweets 3 for 20 cent gift wrap in a box with fancy ribbons.

That is so lame.

We should not do that.

But, I still love wedding.

The first wedding I went just now was my friends Fara who wed a Diver for Bomba, and they have all these firemen wearing bomba formal attire complete with sword and everything and they paraded in the hall with the bride and bridegroom and everything looked so romantic.

The other one was having a traditional kampong style wedding with food neatly tucked in a serving tray (dulang) and was covered with tudung saji and water was being served in a labu sayung. So each table was set to look like that, and it gives that exclusivity look to it.

I love wedding, wedding is nice.
