    the beer buddies thing is one damn good reason to not marry a malaysian. i think I already said that in my other I-hate-wedding-dinners post, ya no?

    or, at the very least, dont marry him in malaysia where his ‘heng dais’ think that getting drunk and embarassing the newlywed is part of the ceremony.

    Keep the tea ceremony. Fuck ev’thin else.
