Wedding Woes #1

Yay i've discovered the trick to blogging at work.. So from now on while i'm waiting for them to trickle in during Sat clinic i can blog!

I've decided to come up with a new category in my blog called 'Wedding Woes' cos i predict there'd be quite a few more woes coming up.

In fact I can think of one right now: "The Losing Weight before Wedding Woe aka the persistent woe"

 

Anyway, 2 weeks ago Liang and I spent quite a significant amt of time debating a rather headache issue and till the end of the discussion we still can't quite come up with a solution. We debated the issue the whole time throughout walking from Millenia to marina, through shopping around  Marina, through queuing for dinner and throughout the whole dinner and yet the issues is still not solved.

 

No, it's not abt the guest list (we haven even opened that pandora's box yet), it's not abt the 'pin4 jin1' (yet another Pandora box, but smaller), it's not abt what should be the even more pressing housing issue (a very tedious process but i'll blog abt it later), it's not abt the also very pressing issue of Liang's new stall and the million and one things we need to discuss abt that. Usually when we put our minds to it and seriously brainstorm abt something we can arrive at a mutually agreeable decision quite quickly, this is one time when we are really at our wits' end.

 

Ladies and gentleman (I assume only got 1 gentleman reading my blog), introducing .. The JieMei Issue. Or rather The Lack of Brother Issue. Because it's really really not possible for Liang to think of 8 suitable,  sporting xiongdi candidates.

 

My solution of the two rounds of gatecrashing, you can imagine, was met with quite alot of reluctance. But even if i can eventually get him to agree to it, there's just too much logistics involved. Not to mention the whole timing issue. Knowing my dad, if the 'auspicious timing' is going to be 7am in the morning, you can be sure everything must be ready by 6.59am, no room for allowances. Which prob means all the gatecrashing must start at 6am. And also it's not going to look too nice in the photos with 8 jiemeis and 4 xiongdis.

 

Liang's suggestion was that since there's 8 jiemeis, it would make numerical sense for 4 of the Jiemeis to 'double' as xiongdis so that there would be equal numbers of people on both sides of the gate. I just gave him a look -_-" and din bother giving a reply to that.

 

Then i thought we might divide the games into two separate days, like what P did with hers. He's agreeable, but thinks most likely he'll have to do the unofficial games alone, cos even if he's got really good friends, it prob wun be fair on the friends to get sabo-ed on TWO occasions. But i thought that just looks too sad (and also too much like gang bullying).

 

Liang then suggested that perhaps he could hire some musclemen/stuntmen to top up the remaining xiongdis haha, which i have to admit, that idea warrants some consideration.

 

Sigh........ so in essence, I'm still at a loss what to do
