My beautiful satin dress, comprising of black and gold colour!
Last saturday, i had accompanied my mum for a wedding dinner held at River View hotel. We set off at 7pm sharp, knowing that none of our relatives will be punctual and that dinner will never start at 7.30pm SHARP.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, bus no.51 finally arrived! As it is a single decked bus, it was nevertheless crowded with passengers. Cladded in high heels, it increases the difficulty of balancing myself while standing on a moving vehicle. I grabbed the handle as tightly as possible so as to save myself from any form of embrassement that may occur. The moving vehicle was bumpy because of the numerous traffic lights and the uneveness route caused by the construction as it approaches Chinatown. We finally reached our destination 20 minutes later.
The hotel was heavily decorated with chinaware and jade ornaments, exluding an air of orential embience. We arrived at the lily ballroom and was immediately welcomed by the bride and groom. After my mom and i extended our congrats and blessing to them, we went over to the counter to ask for our table no. Supposedly a happy occasion was transformed into an angish moment for my mum. We were assigned to sit together with a table of strangers!!! not with my aunties and uncles. This drives my mummy into a fit of rage.
My mummy, who was angry with the arrangement, sulked throughout the dinner. What adds to our misery was the deafening music being blasted out from the speakers that surrounded our table.
The event planning wasnt well done afterall. The romantic music being aired, lost its softness of touch as it was blasted through the hall. Some guests were also seen covering their heads with their hands and turned unsightly.
As my mum lost her appetite, she hardly touched the dishes and we left halfway thru. This, was the most unpleasant wedding dinner i had ever attend.
