i am picky. not of food but almost everything else. i am also picky of attending wedding invitations. i don't want to come across as an oppressive nun but i am becoming tiresome and emotionally unresponsive to attending weddings of long-lost-friends. do i sound like an oppressive nun? yes i do.


so my lucky wedding invitation of the month was held in Melacca last weekend. it was small and intimate. and cold. they fully blasted the air-conditioning as if we were fresh meat just out from the slaughter house.

the dinner started with the usual *ooh-aah-fake-LED-beacon-of-fire* 1st dish serving ritual, followed by the remaining 8 course meal served at a painfully retarded tempo. everyone is probably full of gas by the forth meal due to inhaling more oxygen than needed while chewing the food ever so s.l.o.w.l.y. people usually have a run to the loo in between meals due to excessive intake of beverages, you really need to have a sip every 2 minutes in order to stay awake.

but yes. of course you share the joy of the married couple and want to be there to support them.
i sat on a table with ex-colleagues and friends. and i was abit overwhelmed during the wedding. especially when i saw the slideshows of the pre-wedding shots. they were done so beautifully. and the bride looked astonishing. and then i tell dayah...

"i felt like crying..."
"will you cry if i get married?"
"i will cry if you get married... while i am still single."

duh. so much for sharing happiness.
