Just went for another wedding dinner. My 2nd since my gf's sis's wedding dinner last month. This time, it was at a restaurant in Takashimaya.It's my mum's uncle's son wedding dinner. He wedded a Thai lady. But thankfully, the entire dinner was not Thai. My mum and I were supposed to wait for my uncle and his family. It was never my policy to be late,be it for dinner, appointment with friends,interviews. My uncle and his family was late and I was not too pleased with it cos it's so rude to be late for a dinner esp wedding dinner !! just knew my this uncle was recently retrenched and his wife dun even wanna work when his 2 children were old enough to take care of themselves. Well my other "more highly educated" aunt and uncle were at least more punctual.

The food was oke (again) but there were 2 dance performances put up on courtesy from the girl's family which somehow revealed that she comes from a quite well to do family. The fried shrimps with wheat/oatmeal was good and so was the yifu fried noodles. The shark's fin was a little bland. The steamed fish was quite tasty too and I drank quite a bit of the gravy which was mainly soy sauce. HAHA..

I just realised nowadays, no matter where any wedding dinner was held, the opening will be all lights dimmed,techno or dance music on and the dishes will be served with a stream of waiters and waitresses carrying out the 1st dish with candle lights. It was an eye opener for me when i experienced such "opening" for the 1st time at my cousin's wedding back in 1996 but now it is like every restaurant is doing it.

One thing at the dinner was I realised I knew none of my relatives there. Not surprising cos they are mostly my mum's cousins. I simply went there to fill up a seat and to enjoy delicacies, that's all. I am such a pig. HWHAHAHAHA. Eating to me is an enjoyment. I love to eat. I prefer to eat something good than to spend thousands or hundreds on a piece of fabric or leather with some designer's name on it. To me a piece of cotten is, no matter what a piece of cotton, same thing to leather. I dun think wearing a Prada T-shirt will make u bullet proof nor will it make you look like Takeshi Kaneshiro.

If someone wanna wear designer's labels, he/she must be able to bring out the feel of class out from the piece of fabric. A $500 Prada shirt will look different on Kaneshiro Takeshi compared to the same thing being worn by anyone from Jacky Neo cast. A genuine $8000 LV limited edition handbag will look like an imitation from pasar malam when being used by Liang Xi Mei or any local peasant aunty, vice versa when an imitation will look like the real McCoy when being used by someone like Zhang Zi Yi, Fann Wong, Zoe Tay, Wang Biren, Fiona Xie,Mika Nakashima,ayumi hamasaki,namie amuro ?

Get the idea ?
