Just doing some research for kompang troupes.... you know, those fellas at Malay weddings who whack some hand drums to welcome the wedding couple...
Holy crap they cost, like, $400 to order..... at this rate, just playing an MP3 recording over the hifi is looking like a better proposition....
The konpang guys probably knows their demand is price inelastic.

is that by the hour? or a half day? or just from the bridal arrival to the bersanding stage?

From the arrival of the wedding couple to the dais.
I'm looking at alternatives.... a couple of my friends just played some grand 'arrival music' over the hifi at their weddings.
The sad thing is, years ago, I was actually in my JC's Malay Cultural Society kompang troupe....

i thought as much. so $400 for a 10-minute work? i could do that too! where do i signup?
hey, don't you get a disc for your previous membership? or is the $400 a discounted price?

I dunno, man.... wouldn't I have to ask the caterer to double the food in that case?
you underestimate the earthquake...
you'd have to quadruple the amount of food catered.. just for her.. then another round for the rest
or am i underestimating everything too?

You gotta understand.... I gotta cater for...... 1000 guests.
So double of that would be.... 2000 guests.
You know how it is for Malay weddings and the huge guest lists..... I did tell you guys that I once attended a wedding as the groom's father's ex-colleague's boyfriend.

look mate, if I'm guessing correctly, you'd be feeding the kompang troupe too anyways, on top of paying them, neh ? .....
we'd still be cheaper I think ....

chinese ones are not that different ..... I'm being arrowed to attend a wedding for my, get this, granny's fourth sister's third son's eldest son's wedding.
I have not even seen my granny's fourth sister, aka, my fourth grand aunt before ....
susie and I, are seriously considering just having the church luncheon ....

If I had it my way, I'd be severely limiting the guest list to just first-degree relatives and close friends....
Which is already quite a lot, seeing that both my parents have six siblings each, all of whom bred like rabbits.....
But my parents are insisting on doing things the 'traditional' way.... sigh.....
at my bro's wedding dinner, my mom invited my grandma's step sister & family. i never knew my grandma had a step sister! naturally i've never met them till the reception.

yesterday when we finished printing all the papers, suddenly the neutered one says he wants to print one more set
then i ask him "then how come you didn't print 1 extra set with all the rest?"
he mumbled something like he didn't want it to mess up / know how to staple or something, either way the reason made no logic. print EVERYTHING already then u print one more set so u won't mess up? what the flying f*ck?!?!?
then after that he asked me if the photos are done, i say yes and he says he needs it to be done in a slideshow, i say ok... "just do it now and i'll burn it into a DVD, do you need music to go along with the slide show?"
he is not sure, gotta check with the bitch first. PUA CB, you want something then you are not sure?? you bug me for fucking almost 2 weeks to be NOT SURE?!?!?
then he says she should be sleeping already because got early flight tomorrow, then once the printing is done he starts to rush to go back, "i gotta go back" that idiot keeps saying. its not like i want him to stay but it sounds f*cking stupid when you just said that the bitch is sleeping and you need to go back. to do what? hug her to sleep? f*ck??? jerk off while she sleeps???? its not like he's got much to do anyway, at least not by my standards when it comes to work.
