the last few of my close church-going friends are getting hitched. soon they will be baby factories. figures, catholics. heehee kidding. (choop, i still one kay.)
dam got chained down last night at a very sweet sentosa-beaufort reception and terrence and ave will be facing the same fate this dec at goodwoods. that makes me and rawn the last 2. and rawn's like 2 yrs younger than me and just started out with the working world. hmm, so the sights are on me. hope their hands dun get tired coz it looks like a long wait.
from last night's party antics, i have surmised the following surival tactics are necessary for coming out of your own wedding reception unscathed:
1. Do Not invite your close friends back to the room, esp if they have had a go at the alcohol and are carrying alcohol.
2. Do Not drink anything that your close friends hand you. Even though they have vouched with their lives that said drink is edible. better yet, be very suspicious if said drink is described with the word: edible.
3. Do learn how to read chinese, well, at least the hanyu pinyin.
4. Do Not allow the MC to drink. In fact, do not even sit the MC with the rowdy, intelligent friends with the evil ideas.
5. Do warn the management about the "yam-seng" being vigourous.
6. Ban games. no matter how innocent.
7. prep your obligatory speech beforehand. proof read thoroughly for booboos that the missus shouldnt hear.
8. no need to cater expensive beer, as long as its alcohol, people will be happy.
9. get your mom or dad to go back to the room as a rescuer. the friends ease up on the naughty games when the parentals drop by.
10. Better yet, Do Not hold a wedding dinner, just send a mass email stating "Dear friends, got married. Love you all, pls send all angbaos via cheque/money order/TT to XXX-XXXX-X account no."
and no. 11. just for me - get a girl first.
hee.

You're so right about the alcohol. There's something about weddings and drinking. I went to a wedding once where the toast was made with sparkling grape juice, because the bride and groom didn't drink (church-types.). There was a little group of us who high-tailed it over to the cash bar at the first possible moment. Didn't seem right to be at a wedding without holding a drink.
