A Matrimony & A Break-up

Malaysia's "Wedding Of The Year" between Datuk Khalid Muhammad Jiwa and Siti Nurhaliza held last week will be definitely remembered by me forever and ever. It was shown on TV3 much to the delight of Siti fans starting with the bersanding ceremony, meet the fans session ending with the grander ballroom wedding all conveniently held in the grounds of KLCC. For the record, I've tagged this wedding as the "Lamest Wedding of the 21st Century".

Their wonderful broadcasted wedding however had fierce competition from the live appearance and reunion of Malaysia's most popular Akademi Fantasia winner, Asmawi Ani aka. Mawi and his ex-fiancee, Ina. Eww .. I look like I'm glorifying Mawi but I fucking despise him. He should be doomed to the ends of the Earth. Come on, what kind of male name's Asmawi Ani. They were both broadcasted at almost the same time. One started at 8.30 while the other at 9.00. The different Tv stations denied competition stating that the Mawi-Ina thing was planned long ago.

I had planned to watch Siti's wedding with Datuk Sakit Jiwa while rolling on the floor laughing but I instead fell asleep only waking up at 11.00. I managed to catch an hour of only the ballroom wedding part. There were lots of VVIP's who attented including royalty, seats of government and celebrities. Only about 4 Sultans attended while there were a number of ministers. There was without doubt lots of celebrity friends. One peculiar thing that I can't stop mentioning is the fact that Tun Dr. Mahathir and the DPM, Datuk Seri Najib attended while our PM, Datuk Abdullah Badawi was not there. It may probably be because Mahathir was there or he was busy. What are the chances that he was just not invited .. how malu !!

As I stated, the wedding was plain lameness throughout or a really 'plastic' event. The MC's 'entertained' the guests with Malay pantuns and syairs in between their ultra-long speeches. I just found it boring though I understood them as being meaningful and trying to entertain. The bride and groom then came in while there were traditional Malay dancers and little ballet girls dancing in the front. The ugly deceitful smirk on Datuk Sakit Jiwa's face just did not dissapear.

The lamest part of it was during the cake-cutting ceremony. By the way, they had a seven-layer modern kind of cake. Guess foreign influence has definitely seeped into even this grand Malay wedding. This was something similar to what the MC said ..

"Datuk Khalid sekarang dipersilakan menyuap kek kepada Datin Siti (so she's already Datin Siti) .. puts cake in her mouth with that smirk. Sekarang, giliran Datin Siti menyuap kek kepada Datuk Khalid .. the same to Datuk Sakit Jiwa. "

It may be sweet and all but I just found it 100% cheesy, lame and tacky since the MC's actually had to announce it. After that, Siti's parents also cut some pulut kuning cake coz it was apparently their wedding annivessary that day as well. Siti then enthralled the audience with a new song "Cahaya Cinta". The thing ended after it. I must comment that Siti's gown was interesting. Almost both her sleeves were fully encrusted with diamonds and jewels. They were really sparkling. Not to forget that she also wore one gown which had thousands of pearls sewn on together.

The verdict is it was 100% lame. If this golden couple ends up in a divorce, they would seriously be ashamed while I would be laughing my head off. Jiam did point out to me on the same day that Datuk Sakit Jiwa may just be after Siti's $$. He apparently married his now ex-wife, Tengku Zawiyah for her money then divorced her. I also just noticed on Monday that she has royalty blood in her. Let's hope Siti doesn't suffer the same fate.

During the wedding, Datuk Sakit Jiwa had that silly ham-sap lou smirk on his face so he can now be Datuk Gatal. Meanwhile, during the Mawi-Ina reunion, Ina seemed to be all sober and sad even weeping at times while Mawi just seemed calm. So much for "Saya tak akan meninggalkan bakal isteri saya" after he won Akademi Fantasia 3.

When the final ratings for both the shows came in, it was as follows ..

4.7 million viewers

6.3 million viewers

Quite a huge gap betwen the two though. I would have thought that many would have preferred watching Mawi. Take for example, our Biology teacher, Cik Siti Maheran who as I had pointed out before is one of Siti's greatest fans. When I asked her however, she said she was gonna watch Mawi because she dislikes Siti. Next thing we know, her initial on our books changed from "Ct" to "SM" meaning she only started disliking Siti recently. Wonder how many more out there are like her. She should seriously consider changing her initials befire she is deemed to enjoy bondage or something .. S-M woman.

Besides, there were many of such desperate fans of both watching both programs at the same time. Some would rather just flip channels. Who buys two television sets and places them side by side .. doesn't make sense. Then again, they may be jakuns .. lol.
