  there's even a planning app on the lappie for this ....

  and mind you, there are the "normal" tables, the buddhist vegetarian tables, the fashion vegetarian tables, the halal tables, the non beef tables ..... it's incredible .....

  you should start planning on your elopement plans

  just need to be strong and put their foot down. my sis did just that.

  it turned out to be like our usual family dinner - 2 tables in a private room in a chinese restaurant in a hotel. full stop.

  for friends, a separate garden tea party.

  
  Oh I had the dinner to make my grandma happy

  If not I would have had 2 tables only. If my grandma was not around I would have gotten away with a holiday wedding I think.

  Anyway, that was the most I was willing to compromise.

  Basically I told my parents in very polite terms that I will not entertain dramatic and hissy relatives and they can go F themselves if they feel that we have to accomodate their personal dramas.

  Seriously I don't know what is wrong with those ppl. It's a happy occassion for 2 ppl and they have to carry their baggage around with them.

  The people organising the Korean F1 race have ballsed it again.

  The journalists and TV crew from around the world have just been informed that they need to obtain "media visas" - when they're going to fly out to Singapore this weekend.

  I still have my doubts that the track will be ready. The last layer of tar will not have set by the time the race happens in 3 weeks.

  patches followed the mouse with her eyes but her butt was still planted on the ground ....
