(useless) information

A 26yr old female whose brain is powered by caffeine; without its main fuel source it has a working speed slower than that of a slug. That aside, she wishes she could grow a teeny weeny bit (read: a lot) taller and constantly whines about her weight. Enjoys devising novel ways to traumatise people with her bludders. Oh, and she is rather antisocial.

I had to attend my cousin's wedding dinner last night, which was held in this particular hotel in Tanjong Pagar that has a name that constitutes of only a single alphabet. It was a typical wedding dinner - people were still streaming into the banquet room at friggin' 8.30pm (damn those latecomers!), my brother whining about how hungry he was, my relatives asking me when's my turn coming along (to which I was really tempted to reply I want mine to be held in a void deck once I have the money).

I think I've reached that age when everyone starts asking me when will it be my turn to hold a wedding dinner. Argh. The truth is, I'm not exactly looking forward to holding wedding dinners - I don't like them.

I recall someone asking me why I don't like wedding dinners. Well, here's why:
- Booking a wedding dinner package requires a waiting period of around 1 year.
- A wedding dinner costs money. And frankly, the food doesn't taste that great either.
- I'd need to plan the seating arrangements.
- I need to think whom to invite. i.e. do I need to invite my colleagues? My boss? My department head? What if I neglect to invite some people, will they harbour a grudge? Headache ar, I tell you.

Someone told me that wedding dinners is a must to the Chinese, because they serve the purpose of informing the whole world of a couple's marriage. Well, if that's the main reason, I can always rent a lorry along with an amplifier, and go around the streets of Singapore playing a pre-recorded message 'Teoh XX and Tan XX are getting married liao ar!' And subsequently hold a buffet dinner for guests in the void deck in my block. Same, if not better effect, at a fraction of the cost. Can save me the hassle of planning a wedding dinner also...woah this idea is sibeh steady!
