Quick introduction. Smile. "Hello!"

2:10pm
Bruce & me decided to bury our faces in the menu and decide on what to eat rather than get involved with the initial tense atmosphere. The smile smile and dunno what to do... you look at me I look at you akwardness.

Up till 3pm
Eat eat eat ... with a little light casual chating. On a side note, their food really not bad.

3pm
Oh no... eat finish le.... into main agenda for the day -- our wedding day requirements.

Bruce and me had no clue what they were talking about exactly.. Only heard bits and pieces of it: oranges, angbaos, roast pig, how many tables, canned pigs-leg ...giving out cakes & invitation cards 2 weeks before wedding.. ...

Long feng candles?!!! NO NO.

But according to our tradition (dunno whether got geng ju anot) ...
Bruce is supposed to get my Mom a pen.
Mom is supposed to get him a pair of pants and a ring (on behalf of Dad).
We are supposed to get a new teacup set for tea ceremony & (check this out) 2 red lights to put in our room throughout the 1st night.... (which we're going to be at AMARA leh...but they say someone still needs to go to our new house & switch it on). What a waste of electricity?!

Thank God they realised we're not into these stuff & they themselves also dun really know much.. The list ended as that. Phew! Thank God no one suggested putting rooster & hen under the bed or having kids to jump around my bed!!! I will RESIST those suggestions man....
