Cuzzie Wedding
Last Saturday, it was the day my cuzzie said “bye-bye” to bachelorhood and leave his single days behind him for good.

Usually, wedding dinners are held indoors or in hotels, something of those sorts. However, it was different this time, my cuzzie had invited us to have an outdoor wedding dinner at Linggi.

Linggi, from my place can be considered quite a drive away. So, the Loo family decided to start the journey together. It took about two hours to get to our destination. We were all dressed to the nines, especially our auntie.

We were a little too early…which was not considered nice. I got to know about that taboo after the dinner, it seems that according to the Chinese customs - the men’s family are supposed to arrive later and leave early. What an absurd idea! Personally, I’m not sure how these customs thingy are made. But, they can be quite a nuisance at times!

I am surprised to find that it was held at a small village community hall. Although embarrassed to admit it, but I felt a bit overdressed. I brushed away the sense of awkwardness and decided to enjoy myself. And I certainly did, I had loads of fun with my cousins…we were practically laughing our heads off.

Our feng shui table wasn’t really good though, we were situated directly facing the amplifiers. The villagers loved to sing and they really sang thru the night. It wasn’t that their singing that annoyed us, but the amplifiers that were way too loud. Some songs were most inappropriate…bad choice!

My cousin brothers at the dinner, was pushing me to sing on the stage. Don’t they know that I get stage fright!! When it comes to drinking, I think the groom (my cuzzie) must thank my other cuzzies for helping him out. Or else, I think he will be knocked out before the dinner ends. Haha. We were the loudest and craziest bunch amongst the crowd. People must think that all city slickers are crazy judging by their impression of us. <wink>

Well…that’s all for now. See ya. Gniliamil signing out.
