2 Weeks To Go!

25 September 2009.

After one whole month, the Hungry Ghost Festival finally came to an end last Friday. With that, AstroBanana were able to despatch their invitation cards once again. (Most elders think it's a bad idea to give out wedding invitation cards during the seventh lunar month.) Finalising the guest list has been one long nightmare - so much so that it will warrant a separate blog entry on its own.

Eric Banana took a quick stab at formulating the schedule for the actual day (AD). After a while, he found it hard to work with fixed timings. Somehow, his project management instincts kicked in - and he started to add duration, predecessors and successors to the equation. And suddenly, things began to make more sense...

On Sunday, AstroBanana will have to 安床 and 过大礼. By next Friday, they would have to confirm the final number of tables with Club Chinois. They are then scheduled to go for their final fitting next Saturday. Final fitting sounds very definitive - as if AstroBanana (or rather, just Eric Banana) would have to stop eating and maybe even breathing until their AD is over.

The hungry ghost festival is one of those 'festivals' that i've grown up... not really knowing why it should be scary but fearing it anyway....

So if you mailed the invitation cards out during the 7th lunar month... what'll happen? You get extra guests? Or maybe we shouldn't even talk about it... hmmmm
