Sundays are meant for Weddings

For those who knows me well, they will know not to ask me out on Sundays cause i would 95% say no..Hehe..Normally, this would be automatically understood until one fine day, this question was brought to me..

Are you sure that you really have to go to weddings on almost every sunday of the month?

Sadly my answer is yes..its not that i'm anti-weddings but if you went to one malay wedding before then you have been to them all cause basically its all the same hehe[This is not meant to be racist just a tongue in cheek observation ;P].

I find this next question really hilarious

Innocently, my friend remarked "Wow then you must have many relatives.."

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it..

So I told my friend "To be honest, most of the time that I go to the wedding, I don't even know the bride/groom. I go there just for the food hehe"

Most of the weddings I went to are friends of a friend of my parents..My mum have no one to accompany her to these weddings and of course I'm forced to be her escort..

My observations after going to so many weddings, one question is sure to be asked by strangers whom I have just met "when am I getting married?/When it's my turn to get married"

And this seem to be the basic conversation starter at most weddings hehe. For most malays, this is quite normaly but for others, it is kinda shocking to hear hehe

So how do you ans this question to a complete stranger?

Just ans politely with a smile "Blum ada jodoh lagi Cik". Translation: "Haven't found the right one yet"

Which is the standard answer given by most youngsters at weddings.

Actually weddings is a good way to immerse yourself and experience different cultures.

And again in my tongue in cheek observation of other cultures weddings which I have been to:

Malay: Noisy, nosey, free all u can eat buffet[hehe if you are not pai seh to take 2nd helpings] and Karaoke(if you are brave enough to show ppl your hidden singing talents)

Chinese: Boring(imagine listening to the priest preaching for almost 1 hr before it came to the "I do") but u get to eat good food cause the reception is normally held in hotels/country club and you get to see the bride & groom change into many different outfits ;)

Indian: Quite rowdy (especially when some guests had too much to drink) ;) and if they serve the food buffet style then you have to queue for the food cause the wedding starts only when every one have been seated. It is also quite fun cause normally the bride and groom will get sabo by their friends/family members ;)

This is not to say that all malay, chinese, indian weddings are like what I describe above. These are just the weddings that I have experienced ;)

Thank God for the friends that I have

Do you know what it takes to really know someone? Its really simple..Just recall all the times that you are being a bitch/jerk/upset/depressed/angry and the person who is always there with you during those times..

Yup that is the person who knows you well and that is truly the person that you can depend on..Everyone wears a mask so when you are not in a good mood, that is normally the time when you expose your real self cause you just won't bother to hide anymore[Unless you are the type of person who is always in bad mood then this doesn't apply to you ;)].

I am really thankful that I have friends that I could depend on..Friends who meets me willingly in the early hours of the morning just cause I said I need someone to talk to..Friends who are willing to be blunt so that I wouldn't deceive myself and allow me to face the cold hard truth. Friends that I could cry on their shoulders and they wouldn't think that I'm being drama queen/cry baby..

Thank God for the friends that I have..
