The Bridegroom in Cineleisure

We had a drink at Empress Cafe right opposite of Laundry Bar last Saturday. After chatting and laughing, then we saw a team of people, some with video camera and some with DSLRs, standing in the middle of the cafe.

And one guy caught my attention!

Which is the guy in black suit, dressing as if he's the bridegroom. And the funny thing is he combed his hair like the guy in 70s and wore a thick black frame glasses. I was curious wondering what he's gonna do going from tables to tables.

Then I noticed the paper he carries with him..flashing to every tables.

"GETTING MARRIED. NEED MONEY (CREDIT CRUNCH). RM2 FOR A PACKET!"

He went from tables to tables selling tissues for RM2! That's so damn expensive right?! The girl beside our table was yelling at the poor bridegroom telling him that the Tesco tissues costs not more than 20 cents and now he's selling them at RM2. Hahha!

Finally he came to our table. We were prepared to question him actually. We wanna know why he's doing that. Trying to con ppl's money at this economic downturn or what?!

"Eh why are you selling tissues? Really getting married ar? Show me your wife first."

He took out his handphone and showed us his wife. Hmm she's in her wedding dress. Okay he passed that question.

"Why didnt you work hard before this if u know u're getting married?!"

He answered, "No lah..no lah!"

We questioned him a lot of things and he gave us his name card when we asked for his contacts, because we teased him that we wanted to attend his wedding.

And upon looking at his name card, we were surprised that he's the executive director of a media/advertising company! Hahhaha...

I'm sure this is a request from his wife or the bridesmaids. Poor guy. Getting married these days are tough, especially when you wanna proposed to the girl. Billboards..or in the public..and etc, creativity must be there.

In order to support him and make sure he finished his job early, we bought 3 packets of tissues from him. RM6 for the 3 packets of RM0.20 tissues! LOL..

I hope he enjoys the entire pre-wedding preparation. Congrats anyway! ;)
