And they came yesterday to my place to convey the message that their son is getting engaged tomorrow. Oh. Whee! *rolls eyes* And since my parents won't be around to witness the "pre-matrimonial" event, we will have to go in their place instead. Actually, whether or not they're around, the whole family will still go.

We give you face ok bradder. And what do we get in return?

What a waste of my time.

Anything sacred or traditional certainly doesn't apply to that family as far as I'm concern. It's just face value. I'm surprised they even think about it. Is it even a family affair?

If you ask me, I really don't intend to go. AT ALL. I mean, for what and why? It will only bring dosa to me cos I'm already having sickening thoughts about the whole thing. Besides, I don't think the eldest (and bratty) progeny of that family would want us around, as mentioned like a trillion times in her blog.

Even my dad has given up on them. Even he said just go, eat, then leave. "Tak payah duduk lama-lama, " he said. Well dad, great minds think alike ey!

It seems to me that she don't even wanna regard us as family so why bother? I'm just waiting only. Waiting for her to tell us all that she don't want any of us on her "big" day. I'll tell her to tell it to my dad straight to his face and we'll see how it goes. I'll update you guys ok. *WINKS*

But me (SIGH), being the eldest, will have to be the representative for now. After all, following my dad, I am the eldest representative on my dad's side. I personally don't think too highly about having status but coming from a background where family status and respect for the elders plays a big part in our traditional norms, I have to somehow conform to it.

It is only right.

I mean, you can be liberal. You can be westernised and modernised even, I don't care. But there is a balance to everything. Even the westerners know how to respect their elders. You're just bringing shame to yourself and your roots. And you're proud of that?

You're just one immature, confused, self-contradicting person. Narcissistic too.

Actually, I kind of went off track with this post. This is not even what I wanted to blog about initially.

Argh, but why tomorrow?! I already have plans to clean up the entire house lah. I rather clean the house than sit prettily at their house witnessing an event I'm not even interested in. I think I'm much happier scrubbing my house with my sibs than being there.

I'm sure I'm the not the only one who thinks they're better off somewhere.
