Some Wedding

Currently Playing: Mais, Que Na by Astrude Gilberto

Just attended my Dad's cousin's son's wedding. some guy i've never met before. Minutes after taking my seat i realised why i shdn't hv come... always get so bored at these family gatherings. the adults make small talk and i can only talk to my bro and make small talk back to adults. oh yah, i'm an adult too... hahahah but u know wat i mean. most of the time i'm so bored i constantly fiddle with my hp and hope someone smses me out of my misery.

at least the hyatt hotel played nice bossa nova. been so obsessed with zero7 i forgot how nice bossa can be. esp in that kinda setting... cool dark evening dinner. with plenty of chatter to contend with.

the opening of the dinner was rather funny though. they played some kinda house-style music and the unrehearsed-enuff waiters and waitress for the 53 tables came out in batches of 5-6 at a time... all nervously taking their places and frantically waiting for the next cue. with no one guiding their positions, the front few tables, which were supposed to be most impt, were missing waiters.

then the cue came for them to serve the tables. with no order to speak of, the waiters dumped the cold dish plates on the nearest table they could find. the waiter nearest to me hurriedly looked from table to table, which 3 out of 4 were empty, and placed his plate on one of them (not mine); all around waiters in black were rushing abt to their "usual" positions of serving, almost knoocking into each other. kinda like giant ants. hahahh

anyway. i sympathise with my bro's position more than my own really... not only is he bored, now being the eldest unmarried grandson, he's constantly badgered to get married. can't blame my grandma... 92yrs old liao. and so far only 1 grandchild married.

so i'm in a large ballroom filled with ppl i'm supposed to know, watching slide shows of ppl i dunno, and supposed to share in their wedded bliss and all that. but when they play the games and show the slides and all that, i'm just wondering when the next dish is coming, i'm starving.

there was a point to all this, but i've forgotten wat. maybe something abt how i dun really like extended family gatherings. and CNY is coming up.

well anyway i've had enuff of this bliss bliss bliss crap. anyone whos getting married, let me know beforehand. i'll need to check my schedule to see if i dun hv a plane ride to cambodia or somewhere that day....
