Malay weddings are too much work

A bunga telur is a decorative container for eggs meant to be given away as gifts to guests in a Malay wedding.

When mum brought home a huge box of bunga telur and an ornate copper display stand, I started to have my mini panic attacks. Cartcart and I haven’t even planned our wedding yet and already mum has been talking and advising me about our future wedding. It makes me wonder who was more excited – Me or her?

She’s been giving me advice like :

  1. To set the date in the registrar of marriages at least 6 months in advance.
  2. To have a double ceremony.
  3. Drinking jamu to make me more fertile.

And the more she talked, the more I am in realisation that there are so much preparations to do! Not to mention the costs of the ceremony like, catering, invitations, dowry et al. And the more I think about it, the more I am starting to feel overwhelmed.

    I’d like a simple wedding myself and save money from all those unecessary things, but even the simplest weddings still costs quite abit of money and thats what stresses me out :

    Guys drink jamu too? Jamu smells absolutely horrible. I cannot imagine drinking it. But mum insists that its good for the blood circulation so that its easier for me to have kids.

    Sad to say, I’ve demoted to a baby making machine 😛

    Erm pretty? I’m getting stressed out that zits are taking advantage and growing nicely on my face 😛

    But yes, I’d love to go for some fitness courses. Judging by the yoga course that I took, I’m pretty sure the others would be just as great 🙂
