Last time, I ever asked my dad if he knows how to look for auspicious date for wedding ceremony and he replied:
'Err, not sure'

Then, last Saturday when my dad was getting ready to attend his supplier's daughter wedding, I finally told him that we are ready to walk the aisle this coming July, then he paused and answered:
'Why July, not August, September or October?'

I replied:
'Why? X bagus kah? We checked the date is a good one'

He explained that usually month of July is the Hungry Ghost Festival:
'July selalu orang cina sembahyang hari antu, yang durang bakar - bakar di tepi jalan tu'

I heard that terus kembang bulu tangan and decided to cancel the date lols!  No offense to those yang got married in July ah
My dad suddenly said: 'Bah, nanti daddy check sama orang tua ok kah tidak'

Nah, suddenly he realized he got contacts lah pula. Like other couples, we also trying to get a good date for our special day OK! and eventually that's the one but who wants to celebrate happiness when other people will be mourning and weeping for their loss kan?  We also want to respect our ancestors bah!!!

After looking and searching again, we finally decided to tie knot in August this year, what day you asked? Bah, nantilah dulu mau tanya orang tua dulu... :)  Hope this day will bring everlasting happiness to us!

Now, preparation is going on and like I posted before in my FB's status, so many things to be done but dunno which one to start :) but pray to GOD everything gonna be fine!
