My wedding dinner event completed last week, very successful, me and my wife are very blissful and everything is just nice and perfect

But somehow, someway, there are certain group of people (which i could expect) that will suddenly pop up in your phone messages corner and tell you "i can't attend due to ....blah blah blah"

its fine because forcing people to come is a crime, organize event like this are meant for blessing each other but not cursing each other

So what is the most creative excuses i got during this span of time?
Its actually just 3 days before (not even a week or a month before) where these people come to me (message) and say "NO, count me out"

1st (3 days before, very good friend)
- hey, my son is sick, i don't think i can attend
**excuse me, you can even foresee that your son will sick for 3 days

2nd (3 days before, colleague)
- yo bro, my car broke down la, i think i cannot make it to your dinner
**grab , uber, taxi or can even ask other colleague to fetch what? right?

3rd (2 days before, friend)
- hey, my who who who who passed away, i think cannot la, later you bad luck
**who is your who who who? LOL, she can't even know the relationship

4th (1 day before, good friend)
- yo bro, i am outstation tomorrow, sorry ya
**what else i can say?

5th (3 hours before, good friend)
- hey, my leg is pain, i have to do treatment today, sorry ya
**wow, just pain for today? yesterday no pain?

Finally, most epic one, on the time the wedding held (good friend)
- aiyo, i forgot to tell you, i fly to xxx country already, sorry ya

is it creative? it is so laughable for me

for their seats, sorry, they don't give any angpow, they just assume they are virtually there and support me, so its empty and i have to imagine myself that they are there

legit or not legit, its fine but does it make sense to you?

some also pack 100 for 5 people per family, i accept it also, angpow is just bless tool, not an entrance fees
you shows up and enjoy the moment with me is all i care

did my post sounded like blaming them? hell no
its the excuses that makes them ugly, people who face REAL problem will have that kind of urgency where they will do things in proper manner but not creating stories
those people that i mentioned in my post are damn active in social media
none of it shown up which is in sync with what they have told...lame
I am still so kind heart-ed and ask people around about their situation, those people who close to them can't even know what is happening to them
so? still...don't want to come just inform me earlier, i don't beg for that stupid angpow OR present as i have earn decent amount of money for living but at least don't waste my seats and food, i would rather donate that empty seated table money to charity

damn, you are in the point, i did dabao up those food, but not to the homeless but to my neighbours

regarding the bother part, did i? i just share out their creative idea , is this considered as bother?

its fine, i don't force them to come neither if they think angpow is an obstacle for them but at least let me know earlier la, either be busy or blah blah blah but early a bit can or not? not this kind of few days or few hours earlier....

wah, those premium paid to the collector will be even greater than their lousy red packets

later those small gas people post it out got viral and suddenly become public enemy pulak....haha

i am just inspired and impress by their idea...nothing to do with money or hate

you must be very experience on this
for me, its still looks like an innovative stories
