Went for wedding dinner with papa at Shang Ri La just now~
Papa lazy to drive so ah pek drove us there since he was going as well and lives so near to us. First time sit in his Beemer, fwah, it was really big,
Biangz, I think for the dinner, more than a thousand bucks a table, and they had like 60 tables, so $60,000, just for food alone!
Getting married is such expensive business.
When we were at the reception there I was already starting to feel abit bored cos my papa and ah pek were socialising with all their towkay friends. Just reach only got this dunno what boss from Taka Jewellery come and exchange name cards and stuff.
Man, I felt so out of place.
Then people see me, all ask my papa if I am his "towkay" lah, "gong zi" lah, all that. Say what I got "papa de feng fan" haiyo then I so paiseh must smile smile and try to make small talk with all these people I don't know. Geez I just hoped we can start eating soon.
Oh yeah, there were quite a few pretty pretty qian jin xiao jies also~~ Got one tall tall pretty pretty one kept glimpsing at me loh!! Despite my inner desire and hope that she WAS glimpsing at me for me, I know that it's all wishful thinking and she's probably just thinking "wtf why this guy keep looking at me" or probably cos we're part of the minority, the "younger generation" there.
But hey, I didn't "keep looking at her" actually.
The food was so-so only. Wah lau, alot of leftover food loh, cos our table wasn't full. I so wanted to just kapoh all the remaining food but I had to maintain my "reserved and refined" image and kept to my own helping :(
Then got kids from other tables see our table all uncle auntie, so all came to our table to kop chocolates hahah. Reminded me of what I did when I was small.
The waitress at our table was so funny. Looks sha2 li3 sha3 qi4 one. Blur blur one, she had such a hard time kiaping the food for us, hold the fork and spoon also cannot hold properly, I starting see quite amused, after while I felt very xin ku for her.
After kiaping this portion, she wanted to walk over to the OTHER side of the table to kiap the other portion from the same plate. I mean wtf?? So ma fan?? Kindly kang kang proceeded to help her turn the rotatable thingy so that she can save the hassle.
But after scooping one plate my papa buei ta han and told her very kindly that we could get the food ourselves.
She got really really embarrassed I think, then she just smile smile then walked away slowly.
So poor thing. Reminded me of the first day I went to work for boss. I still remember Set A was chicken burger set, Set B was Fish 'n' Chips and Set C was Seafood Pasta. After some explanation from boss, I went to tell the customer that Set C = Set A plus Set B.
Okay I know Chicken Burger plus Fish 'n' Chips is NOT equals to Seafood Pasta but Iwas a confused new bird, what to do?! Dunno why so dumb leh.
But still, boss says that my first day of work saw the highest amount of profits in the entire history of the shop. She says I'm her lucky star ahahah. Really wad, not long after I left they folded -_-;;
Anyway my papa and ah pek were quite surprised to see that I drank so much wine. They even more stunned when I said I drink liao no hweeling loh. I was like 'very impressive meh? really no hweeling wad.'
Maybe I'm immune to alcohol.
