Nope..sorry to disappoint..i'm not announcing my Wedding Dinner..Though i already have a willing emcee-volunteer - Wei..we've agreed to emcee at each other's wedding...whose will happen first..i guess your guess is as good as mine?!
Is yearend the season of WDs? Even i-who-have-few-frens-who-marry have to attend 3 WDs in a month..of cos, this is still nothing as compared to OYB-who-has-13-WDs-in-a-year(OYB is also formerly known as OSM)
Attended class monitress Song's WD last sat..i had bugged her endlessly(who's going? got 4/1 pple? how many? Wei not counted hor) to ensure i won't the only one from 4/1 going..i absolutely hate attending WDs where i know the grand total of ONE pax, which is the groom/bride(in fact i shall make it my new year resolution tat i'll not attend such WDs anymore)
It started off as a typical WD..'registered' myself and paid my share for the WD(Why are WDs so ex anyway? It's definitely not the food..what am i paying for?? The beer so tat uncles can yum seng all night?) Din spot any familar faces so tried to while time away looking at the photo albums..heaved a sigh of relief when 2 classmates appeared..we quickly congregated and huddled together..trying to conceive a plan to 'steal' the cocktail nuts from the next table...another grouse about WDs - Why do they always have to start so late? Its not healthy to eat a calories-laden dinner at 9pm..tsk..
That said, i must say this is one of the few WDs that i truly enjoyed myself..mostly cos we(4/1) had the whole table to ourselves(the two mysterious 'gym frens' were MIA) and the moment we seated ourselves down, it morphed into a class gathering..
There were 8 of us, which i think is a good size for a typical table..10 pax is always a little too squeezy..esp when you have unknowns at your table..and you feel very paiseh to reach out for more food just in case u elbow them in the face or something..
There were a few revelations tat nite...
#1 Song can drink..AND drinks like a fish(according to classmate-cum-cousin Wei)
#2 Wei's exciting 'discovery' at the end of the dinner that 'hey, we can use this wedding gift as a luggage tag!'(my dear fren, we realised tat the moment we sat down at the table ya..)
#3 And the most exciting of all(to me, at least) Yun, my dear neighbour(though a good 10cm shorter than me, she was transferred to the back of the classroom to sit next to me..apparently to 'influence' me..Yun was sorta the model student back then) doesn't like mushrooms either! She finds them nuah, disgusting, gross, unappealing, off-putting...wat can i say? Great minds think alike!
