It's the effort of buying the ingredients n alws will hv x grams left behind cos of each pack
Then what to do w those left behind for ppl who usu don't bake don't cook

It s the hassle of needed to get trays
Shrink wraps table surface for large amt of dough n pastry filling n weight scale

If u r a baker / cook / got use then mkg it is much more ok / not difficult compared to non cooks 99.999 which most of us bbfa r

I also dun attend weddings, reunions and even cny liao. Funerals also dun go

Just this year alone,  1 fren passed on and afaik, nobody in the groupchat went to the wake despite everyone talking about it. Some trying to arrange while some claimed to be busy, overseas. I went alone.

Just last week, a bmt mate passed on and I fwd the news to another groupchat. This time nobody even bother to talk about it. Not even a " huh? What happened ?"

As we age ppl grow more n more self preoccupied so when we hv limited willpower n energy , we prioritise a few and let everyth else go

Yr bmt mate is one of the non prioritised issue so rest of team didn't go for his
N more impt .. they hv a rs w him
Not w his family so going or not don't mk much of diff
But ! If he s close fren n someone he care abt pass on, then coming to offer some support is helpful : my feel

For me wedding can skip means I don't feel as close to this human
If I go usu it's good fren kid or good fren
Most of my bff or married alr or expired so hardly get married
It's their little ones that do

Funeral if close fren loved ones hv to go cos usu 1-2 days
Don't go then just miss la
Just give bereavement $ better than nthg

True we r much sterile env also cos we r much controlled
No fire crackers cos of fire fear
No kongming light 🕯� cos of Airplanes
No too much sugar cos diabetes problem
No too oily cos obesity problem
No elderly people much cos all stay tiny HDB
No single income family cos col high we need work to support our family n own parent(s)
