婚宴 / Wedding Dinner

星期六驅車北上霹靂州丹絨馬林為了載送父母出席婚宴,新娘子是表妹。丹絨馬林可說是個小鎮,部份是鄉村屋,鄉村人民大多數會選擇學校禮堂做為婚宴場地。

原先打算到姑姑家讀讀書,等宴會完畢後由妹妹過來載我一同回家,但在家人游說下,還是到了宴場。好久沒出席過這種禮堂婚宴,場面熱鬧,沒有空調的禮堂,一點熱的感覺都沒有。因為吃素,所以沒吃宴會的食物(煮葷),只吃了最後第二道的甜品,我最喜愛的水果薩拉,讚!

宴會設有歌唱舞臺,可讓出席者大演唱功。從開始至結束,老歌綿綿,又挑起了我對經典歌曲的忠愛。宴會從六點四十五分開始,九點結束。看看吧,這就是鄉村人的守時。如果在雪隆這一帶,休想九點可以回家,可能九點才開始咧。婚宴九點結束後,驅車南下雪隆,時速每小時九十至一百公里,大約一小時後到達,算快吧?!但不是我駕駛,嘻嘻。


Last Saturday have a trip back to Tanjung Malim, Perak with my family for the purpose of attend my cousin’s wedding dinner. Tanjung Malim can consider as a small town but with few villages, most of the villagers here will choose the school hall as a wedding venue.

Before went for the wedding dinner, I intended to stay at my aunty house to read some books, and wait for my sister come back to fetch me after the dinner finished. But finally I did attended the wedding dinner due to my family convinced me to attend. Long time did not attend such a hall wedding dinner, a lot of people attended for the dinner. No air conditioner in the hall but I did not felt hot at all, maybe it is an open area. I did not eat the foods there due to I am vegetarian, but I did ate the dessert which is my favour - Salad Mixed Fruits, so nice!

Karaoke was set up to allowed presenters to sing on the stage. From the beginning till the end of the wedding, classical songs was the most performed by the presenters, love the classical songs so much. The dinner began at 6:45pm, ended at 9pm. Can you see how punctual are them?! If the wedding having at Klang Valley, do you think 9pm can finished? Maybe 9pm will be the beginning for the wedding dinner. Agree? After the wedding ended, back to PJ straight away by using around 1 hour with the speed of 90-100km/hour, consider fast?! But I am not the driver, haha.
