// wedding bells //

Yesterday was my cousin's wedding.
Actually i have never spoken to him before.
I rarely see him at my grandma's during CNY which is about the only time i visit my grandma in Johor.

Anyway, during CNY all the males would gather at the gambling table throughout the day while the females chat and cooked.

Me and my sis would just watch TV.

Sometimes, it really seems awkard.

Relatives.

People of the same ancestry as me.

People whose blood flows the same as me.

Yet I just felt very distant from them.

Perhaps for some, I wouldn't even recognise them on the streets.

Strangely, the relationship is even more non-existent than with your typical hi-and-bye friends.

Yesterday morning was the tea ceremony and we just hang around to show our face there.

Then once the groom and bride left the groom's house, we couldn't wait to go off.

At night, there was the wedding banquet, as usual, at Park View Holiday Inn hotel.

Needless to say, the ambience, service and food was good.

Before the first course- cold dish was served, the waiters, waitresses and chefs even danced around on the red carpet!! =P

But i felt like attending my next-block neighbours' son's wedding.

Not my own cousins'.

The dinner started at 9pm sharp and ended at 11pm.

Oh what i meant was that we went off at 11pm.

we- my grandma, uncles, aunties- all of them live in JB and, of course my family.

We skipped the desert on the menu cuz it was taking them so long.

And not to mention that my relatives needed to return to JB.
