Wedding dinners. Everyone should have at least attended one wedding dinner by the age of 10.
Wedding dinners, seen as formal events, but are they really formal? My most recent experience yesterday turned the ideology of wedding dinners as formal events topsy-turvy.
enter the hall, (usually a ballroom) and you'll see scores of people sitting at scores of table, placed so narrow to each other one has to squeeze his way around. The wedding dinner was held in Furama, I do not think other hotels would be equally bad. But yesterday's one was horrid. So many people.
In addition, the first thing that hit me when i walked out of the ballroom to the toilets was the all-too-familiar smell that you'll encounter at the roadside. The stench of cigeratte smoke wafted throughout the foyeur, as smokers, who try to be considerate by smoking in a corner, puff away in a nearby corner. Where is the formality of a wedding dinner?
Second. Whilst the emcees were introducing and trying to get everyone's attention. All the elder people were busy chatting away, as if the whole event was theirs. The emcees looked like total idiots as they pronounced their script in front of an unappreciative audience. Maybe audience is not even a term, as few people are actually listening to them! Pretty sad huh?
Third, singaporeans really waste food. Other than my table, all the other tables (as far as I can see, which is prolly abt 4 tables radius) did not finish their food, particularly the greens. For example, after the braised mushrooms with chye sim dish, all I see was heaps of chye sim (a vegetable, in case you DO NOT KNOW?!?!) left on the plate. Only my table (which consists of me and my 2 cousins family and my grandparents) cleared the plate. Why on earth do Singaporeans not eat vegetables? No wonder so many people get sick daily. What is in vegetables that people do not like to eat?!? I am shocked, horrified, surprised... haiz.. disappointed
Lastly, since when did ballrooms become children's play room? You get the idea.
Sad. Since when were we brought up this way?
