Raja Kumbang. My Theories, Thoughts and Practicalities…

Last Sunday I went to Eddy Kecik’s (from the band Cucu Datok Merah) wedding.

It was like a local musician/celebrity fest.

Addy Cradle Rasidi was there with his band. Man Toyak, Cats in Cradle, Jas Nalo, the rest of Cucu Datok Merah, Edmusyita, famous soundmen, etc, and me.

Too many to list down. Wish I saw Paul Danial though. Wait, I take that back. I wish I saw Paul Danial play guitar there.

Wish I brought a camera too. Eddy and Eva’s wedding was grand. The stage was, quite literally, a stage and it was quite a big one to boot. Eddy even had his Fender Strat (if I’m not mistaken) on display near the stage.

Rock hits were belted out during the wedding, on and on.

I could have stayed there for hours, but I had other responsibilities to attend to. Sigh.

One thing that the wedding reminded me of is my own wedding.

That’s just it.

I haven’t had one yet.

I’m sure I will get married and have my own wedding, blah blah blah and all.

The big question is, when will it be?

And the smaller questions are quite tough too.

How grand will it be?
How many people to invite?
Who do I invite?
Which make-up artist?
1 tent or 2?
Which caterer?
DJ or band or both?
Can I invite my facebook and friendster friends?
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…

And last, but most definitely not the least…

How much?

The pressure’s getting to me.

My older brother and my younger sister are already married. With kids to boot!

A whole lot of my friends are married too.

My gf’s cousin is getting engaged and her bestfriend’s getting hitched soon.

I feel like I ain’t got ’nuff time.

And money too.

Sigh.

Money, money, money.
Always sunny.
In the rich man’s world.
All the things I could do,
if I had a little money.
It’s a rich man’s world.
