a wedding dinner in 2017


My colleague's son is having his wedding dinner at an upmarket hotel.

For the 1st time ever, in addition to the menu, this was placed on the table...



















Personally, I didn't think it was a good idea. It's as if the diners don't already have enough of surfing at home, at work or while waiting at the traffic lights. But then it's the sign of the times. Even if the free wifi is not provided, most will already have their own data plans anyway, but with this added service, it will certainly encourage more people to surf in between & during dishes.

So, if you don't mind, just hold the yam seng while I reply to my WhatsApp message.

:P

Also if there are important matches on tv. You get ppl disappearing in the middle of dinner to go to the bar where the sports channel is on tv.

Fortunately, there were no such matches that nite.

S.Kucing,

I also didn't think that was a good idea.

Reana,

I remember a joke about the password being "orderfoodfirst," so everytime a customer asked for the wifi password, the waiter will answer "orderfoodfirst."

and the cycle repeats itself.
