wed-ditch out

i'm gonna blog abt a recent incident which i never actually bothered about till someone changed my perspective.

so on sun evening suha n her bro (my cousins) are goin to this wedding dinner reception. actually their father was supposed to go but uncle had a meeting so sent his children and suha invited christy (her bf) n me along too.

so there we were (only suha + me) all hyped up about getting dressed and we donned our sarees and accessorized and got our make up done and all that. the boys were ok i guess. and we left, laughin n joking along the way. good times.

the entrance had at least 4 slideshows of the bride n grooms studio pics. they are both Drs and ethin looks fancy and beautiful. then we reach the registration place right and my heart stops, they are checking ppl in. its based on RSVP. i could almost picture getting thrown out of a wedding reception before even entering (and did i mention i have no idea who the bride n groom are). heres the deal uncle din rsvp coz he said that its not a hotel dinner so y all the fuss (it was in HGH convention center, Sentul)but he did inform someone about his children but the tag-alongs? ok don't panic. someone gets us a table at the far back of the room. Table 101. wth rite!thats like the 2nd table from the back. i knw tag-alongs x complain. hey its my blog!

the bride n groom were telugus so naturally the mc spoke in telugu, they had telugu songs all along and yess lotsa telugu ppl. christy wasn't too happy bout it. hahah!then my fav part: FOOD! heres the deal the first 60 tables get served the next sixty have to q up. n the line was freaking long and slow moving!! so wat does suha's bro dcide? screw the wedding we're leaving. my first time ditching any kinda event. even if it sucks i just stay there coz im all dressed up n all kan and ppl just x walk out of wedding receptions.

so we leave and eat at a nice indian restorant-where i tear my banana leaf with my fork (my nails were painted la). then in my saree and glammed up-ness go to bangsar 4 baskin robins.yummy!

the moral of the story is:

i) always always always rsvp. no matter the location (hotel or not) ppl need the info to book seats and order food. i x knw if its a general thing but all indians i know x rsvp incl my mom.

ii)showing double standards during events is bound to get ppl pissed. u either table serve e1 or dont. however unintentional it might be ppl might get offended. i wasnt really offended coz i was too busy watching the performance and loving the elegance of the place and me in it (im bimbotic like that)but i knw it isnt rite. thats why i always think call lesser ppl but make sure e1 has a blast.

iii) if tamil weddings can have tamil songs and malay weddings can have malay songs. y cant telugu weddings have telugu songs? and yea the mc did talk in telugu BEFORE speaking in english. afterall majority of the crowd were telugus.

iv) it takes sheer confidence to strut around in a saree+ accessories in bangsar and take the side-looks of all who are passing. but hey isnt that the essence of malaysia? variety. we are used to LBDs and tank tops in bangsar. but not sarees. its about time!. hahahah

v) if u x agree with something (of if ur just tagging along, in that case anythin goes =))have the guts to stand and leave or stay and fix it.

vi) indian weddings are awesome to 'ceroboh' coz families are so big anyway n u can always say ur a person's long lost aunty's daughter's husbands, cousin's wife's sister. and ppl might fall for it. or dont say anythin and ppl come up with their version of "this girl is related thru......"

nevertheless have a blessed marriage strangers! =)
