some things can wait

certainly health and family are more important than anything else .

often we are so caught up in our crazy world, working .. but how much time do we spend on the most important things in our lives. it is time to take stock and set out piorities rite.

joy

counting my lucky stars ...

i finally found the perfect gown . oh pls wat a cliche i tell myself, but i guess when one experiences it , one will understand. but .but ... but ... the practical side of me has spoken :S

i'm just glad i could actually find something that i like . at least i've an idea of wat it looks like , instead of some fuzzy wazzy idea in my head. it helps if i actually decide that to replicate it instead.

seriously think that the gap between the upper class and the middle class is really widening . with this economic boom .. prices for most things are on the rise. taking heart that at least some things are priceless ...

first reader

welcome cuz ..

strange

ppl complain when they are busy , ppl complain when they are free.. ppl just simply complain.

i think i'm going kuku ...

wedding registry

I was just reading an article on the latest tread with regards to bridal registeries. well this doesnt happen here , and certainly it is not exactly part of our chinese culture. given the fact that we have always been giving newly wed angbaos. however the article interest me . the fact the dream trips and other exotic adventures could count as a gift.

wonderful

which reminds me , not much has been done with regards to our honeymoon.

hmm.. a wedding registry ...

weekend

i am still terribly inspired and motivated after our good progress ( although we have not comfirmed anything except our dinner venue) last weekend. Been hoping for the arrival of another weekend. I am glad that it is already tuesday : ) yipee.

it is one of those days where i experienced a sudden realisation . it is one of those quiet moments , for me at least , although everyone around me seems to be going on well with their daily business. I was just running some errands when suddenly it hit me that i'm getting married.

and wat it means to me . very powerful . very real ... it is actually happening .

i want to remember this moment

rest, thoughts

those dreamy pictures really do set me dreaming ....

inspired

part 1

yesterday was an interesting day.. never knew shopping could be so fun ! am truely inspired by ppl who are passionate about thier work, who love art, who has great business sense and who truely want to provide a from of service. I think truely think that these ppl are gems.

am very inspired by the lady who spoke to us at Fairy's Inc. She has given me new meaning to the word marriage. I get the feel from her that it is not some 'money making' opportunity but rather it is about the union of two ppl and there is a real need to have something special and meaningful. That special thought, feeling is often lost.

many times in our business, in our crazy cycle of work , we forgot the true purpose of a marriage. i am really glad that through this journey of searching and planning for our big party , we met ppl like her who helped us to make meaning of this big day. to remind us what is so special. to allow us to feel that fuzzy feeling again. after all it only happens once in our life.

part 2

photos. the search for the bridal shop and photography has just started. am not relly a person who is extremely particular about my gown. i seem to like most bridal gowns from different boutiques.

this is when the thought strike me . shouldnt photo taking and bridal gown/ suit selection be decisions that we make seperately? instead of having everything bundled together?
unfortunately i guess it is only market savy to have bridal shops tie in with photographers.

loved the pictures done by travis ong. loved the emotions , loved the expression, loved the mood. that's what a picture should do and 'say' to someone who sees it. i hope to have pictures who say a thousand words. pictures who tell a story . not just some table top picture but a picture with words. lovely

suddenly it screams to me; budget !
am just glad that dd is in this with me. he has been really patient over my gown changes or maybe i had low expectations of his tolerance level for this keke :)

i guess when it comes to budget , we are just a bunch of ppl who are just not at the stage of our lives to ask for the cake and eat it. something has to go .. in this case i am glad i've made a few important decisions during our search this weekend. photographes and rings as they are for us to keep.

i am glad the journey thus far has been so meaningful : ) am thankful

step 3

never really thought that this day will really come : ) went down to the first bridal shop today . heard rave reviews about it so i guess i really got to see it for myself. trust is the key word i guess. i just dun really want to go round and round looking for gowns. hopefully we can settle one within our budgets and something simple and elegant

: )

random thoughts

i guess i'm in the mood for rambling .. although i often fault writers who do so, well this is a different context i guess. thanking my lucky stars fro home cooked food and having the luxury to just write in peace. i guess it is really a great idea to just rest at home. just sit back, surf the net .. read up on stuff and let loose.. it makes all that difference to the next day.

i noe it sounds simple and crappy but i really so appreciate this little alone time that i have. chill out .. but then again i just cant wait for the weekend to be here.

i'm quite excited at the prospects of checking out custom made rings. interesting idea suggested by a fren.. it's really great to seek ideas from different girl frens..

weekend

i'm waiting for this weekend to come by .. it is going to be exciting :)

an icon

one of my most loved views.. ( had nearly hit the kerb while trying to catch a glimpse of it ) I guess the skylight is going to look very different in just one or two years time..

how many cranes are there ?

amazing .. the IR

a beauty

hopefully this will remain as it is .... untouched ..

blogthings

the person who came up with blogthings certainly have a good idea of what bloggers are up to .. well at least for the matter me . keke .. ive been trying out the quizes for the past half hour. interesting results .. well this wat i term as 'self-help' :)

love reading but ..

well .. i love reading but sometimes having to read for a different purpose really makes reading a chore. i love really to know the plot , to know how the characters had develop along the way. but poor writing simply makes it tough. but of course we noe no one is a born writer , we all learnt.


i just attended a session on blogging today and i thought that it is interesting to examine how blogging could actually be an educational tool as well. hmm ... i guess with the correct purpose and intention, any vehicle could possibly be a good vehicle for educational purposes.. ok this could be a speeing statement.


on a seperate note,
maybe it would be interesting to do a video on a life of a taxi -driver , or just a show, a segment , a piece of writing about taxi drivers. they are just such intriguing characters . i guess i say so now cos i've just encountered an interesting one today. He had many thoughts. Well i do understand his concerns , i was wondering at the back of mind ... are his thoughts representative of folks in his age group . hmmm ... still wondering

a tribute to sunny : )

this is a tribute to my Sunny !



well never thot that i will be doing this one day .. but am just gald that i can always count on my little sunny. who has never failed me ..

three cheers ! hip hip sunny !

timeline

no idea why but i dun seem to be able to click on the title box.

am sick.

hope to feel better soon. think i poisoned myself unknowingly. feeling weak and drowsy.

one thing did perk me up though. the prospects of getting a custom made ring : ) hee hope it fits our budget.. praying for smooth sailing preparations ... no high expectations at all. am just going to take pride in one meaningful part of the event and be happy with it.

i do really think that my worries about getting help for chossing of gowns, make up are not unfounded.. with everyone being so busy i really cant expect much .. after much searching and reading up , i managed to craft a timeline. i guess it really helps to put everythign in perspective. for now i just hope to get well and fit soon.

food poisoning is really no joke.

task list:

• check out bridal studios
• get someone to marry us
• the rings : )

step 1

after a month long search.. this was where we started ... but decided against it

gorgeous !

gorgeous !

crocs

trusty shoes !

look harder ! a rainbow

always look on the bright side of life :)
