Thought that I've grown up, you see. Thought that Dad and Mum do not bother about my dinner. Me being able to drive, can drive my arse over to 19 to get some edibles for me tummy. Thought that I was no longer their little princess, just because they didn't ensure I had dinner.The world is changing.. I no longer need the parents to spoon feed me with soft food. It's time for hard biscuits. Yes it is. Ngaum. But when mum told Dad that I was to drive out alone for dinner, Dad immediately said, "Jo, no driving out by yourself after 7.30. Hop in the car and we'll buy you dinner!" So both parents clad in evening attire with baby princess in ratty ol' Taylors' Tee and barely there pants made their way to SS14. I hate SS14's food. But I shall eat what my parents put on the table. *Nods indignantly* By the way let me rant abit about something. Hmph. We've allowed you to nurture under our wings for the past three-five years. Thought we've set enough examples for you all to follow. The traditions, wasted away. One by one. A tear drop falls. We hath beenth forgottenth. Bah. Nah, maybe we're abit too old for it. :) You little Interactors go on and enjoy your gathering. We're just the bygone seniors who are too old to know what's fun. It was the traditional Interact Gathering after the Annual General Meeting..waterfights, food, partying etc.etc. LOL. But it WAS fun making Li Ming twist in his pants for not inviting Me, Mel, Esther, Zhuo Yan, Mun Teng, Amanda, Abby, She Dee, Amni and the rest of the senior-er seniors(Joshua(they wanted Chu not Tan, Tan.), Dennis, Jeh, Ben Shyen,Sarah,Pooi Yoke etc.)... hahaha.It's ok la. Would've love an invitation though. But would not have been able to make it since almost all of us have exams. Was painting mum's nails for the wedding dinner and was talking to her about who will be invited to MY Wedding. (When it even comes. Heh). I was abit worried because my Dad's only the student of this guy whose kid was getting married.I was like "wha..?".. For the record, I've got 5 great grandmothers on my mum's side who produced 14 kids in total..granddad being kid no.7.. and each had an average of 4 kids, and each of the 4 kids produced another 2 kids each(exactly 2). Thank goodness dad's side can be counted properly. My mum's side I need to take out a calculator!! 14x4x2=112. 0_0 112 relatives on my mum's side. Most of my mums' relatives are spreaded evenly across the globe. A handful in the US, a family in the Uk, a couple in AUSSIE, some in China, a lot in Singapore(though I only go back for weddings..). And speaking of Singapore weddings... everytime I go down, they'd put us up at a hotel. THIS MEANS WHEN THEY COME DOWN WE'LL HAVE TO DO THE SAME. $$$$$$$$$.. argh. Must stay faithful to Holiday Villa now to get a discount then. :P Let's just say there's about ... 50 relatives on dad's side. Then I would want to invite all my good friends from high school. 10 people per table right? The girls will have to be split into two because there are 10 of us.. ok, maybe minus one. COZ I'M GETTING MARRIED(FLASHES WEDDING RING). And so i'll need two tables for the girls.. they have spouses, you know. And our darling seniors etc.... and the rest of the guys in our form(you know who you are, you guys are alot, may need to reduce, :P).. some for the classmates.. yeah, that being secondary AND college. :) ...and my other good friends from school. Hope some of you get married to each other to reduce my cost! Hmph! Notice how I'm not saying any names?:P And I'll have to invite my neighbours..(past and present). My grandparents will want to invite their friends.(maybe by then they'll start forgetting who they're friends were.:P)..then there'll be colleagues. and.. maybe.. hahaha.. patients? Oh, let's not forget about the groom. I'm sure he's got a truckload of relatives and friends who would like to attend the wedding too. Hahahaha. But oh dear, so many people. I'm sure everyone gets hell when they plan out the list. #$%(#*($_#($.. I forgot about my Dad's friends!!! ... My father has been attending weddings like every other month, for so many years..and this means, I'll have to return the favour. NOoOOo.... Dad, Mervyn can get married too, you know?? I think I should start saving now. |

| mELdEe October 24, 2004 09:30 PM PDT jo, i think this is why nowadays most peole have TWO separate wedding dinners..one for the groom's side, one for the brides..or maybe my relatives just happen to have too much cash to flash?! o_0 argh argh argh. what about my wedding dinner?! shiat. i have a lot of relatives too. and don't forget to invite your colleagues, neighbours, mee yoke man..? LOL. anyhoo. li ming called me last night. like. during the thing itself. *rolls eyes heavenward* traditions, *grumble gurmble* | ||
| Jayelle October 24, 2004 04:50 PM PDT sush: hahahahha.. i have no idea it was this expensive to be popular. *AHEM AHEM* | ||
| Jayelle October 24, 2004 04:44 PM PDT ms lau: hahaha. yeah! :) but it's okay, i'll invite those who give me sound advice and those who like laughing at people who dine in the skies. ;) c: lol..noOOoo.. If I was a hollywood celebrity who knows very well that this is just ONE of my weddings, then I might do just that.:) but me being a Malaysian Chinese would probably have only one, so i must make sure the entire world shares my happy day with me;) therefore, money must be spent. (T_T) elaine: hahaha, well, must plan from now in order to come up with the perfect guestlist so as not to offend anyone, y'know?;) | ||
