rain rain rain....just as i always thought i love the rain...but somehow today that's just not the case. think maybe it's further caused by the lack of sleep and sheer exhaustion from the weekend of travelling and wedding organising.
it has been 3 days since my last post. looking back in that 3 days, there are like loads of stuff that happened. if i were going to put it all in this posting, i think it'll be like quite a few pages. forget about it. will just bore everyone.
anyway, was back in malacca for an old school friend's wedding (2 years my senior). hmm...kind of low profile thing i guess. typical chinese thingy but without much hoo haa of hotel arrangements and things like that. it has been a while since i attended a wedding held in a school hall. sure was a whole different experience.
rushed back on friday night or rather saturday EARLY morning to make it in time for the "heng tai" meeting for what to do and all. got to the groom's place for a so-called bachelor's night...which pretty much revolves around a smiple buffet spread and get together with friends from school whom some i've not met up for quite a while. caught up with most of them and the usual bantering and teasing of each other.
after all that was done, went to peppermint cafe to chill, or rather watch footie. not my cuppa. was quite restless and hoping that the game would end soon. when it eventually ended, headed to a cybercafe for a few round of network games. gosh! found out how rusty i was with these games. another thing which i've not done for a long long long time. then was told by one of them that this is pretty much the saturday night thing that they do nowadays...coz most of us aren't party animals who patronises the pubs and disco places. we all sound like some 20-something fellas who are in their early mid-life crisis!
wedding day! weather was like so damn hot and humid! all the "heng tais" were already drenched in sweat even before the pickup of bride happened. left around 11 to the bride's place in a convoy of cars. then came the usual chinese thing of heng tais negotiating with the ji muis to open the door for us to get the bride. thank god it wasn't something too extreme as compared to some which i've come across.
gawd! talk about last minute things that the old folks can come out with....now this is why there should always be proper planning in advance to look into things that needs to be done from A-to-Z. thankfully it wasn't some really out of this world and out of the way kind of arrangement. felt really sorry for the groom.....
anyway, with these insights, it is quite confirmed to say that weddings aren't something which is easy to deal with, especially when the old folks get into the picture for this and that. isn't the wedding for the couple rather than the old folks?
i miss my bed.....i miss my comforter...i miss my pillows.....i miss my sleep!!
