8 days to go

waking up later than 6.30am is so good... i wished i could wake up at 8.30am every morning :pp

feeling fresh and energetic, i made myself a nice breakfast - nissin instant noddle and old town white coffee. hahaha... so long i didn't have instant noodle for breakfast. yum yum... : )

went for the last facial before my wedding. sharon has loaned me lots of makeup stuff. so many... i couldn't remember all their usages. i hope may (the makeup artiste) knows how to use them. talking about make up... makeup really makes wonders. before and after effect is so much in difference. i need to pick up more makeup tips and learn the basic makeup. although i will soon get promoted to auntie status, i wanna be an up-to-date beautiful auntie. hehehe... :ppp

i'll need to do the final packing later for tomorrow 'gah zhong' day. have finished packing up clothes and need to check if there's any left outs. too sad that i need to leave all my cds behind. too many that i can't bring them over. sob sob...

9 days to go

feeling so good today, need not to work. so relieved and relaxed...

my natural alarm rang me up at 6.30am causing me walking here and there, don't know what to do. suddenly mum said that she isn't feeling well. quickly i drove her to a clinic in the neighbourhood. haiyo... the doctor was like an old nanny, talked so... much. mum was in the room for almost an hour, just to consult on fever and cough. i left home with an empty stomach and i can't actually stand hunger. i started 'fatt merng jerng' luckily mum was ready to go by that time.

the best time in the day was when i reached shu eumura's counter in pavillion. my shopaholic attitude comes back, sekaligus, i bought hundreds ringgit stuff. fortunately today hubby's mood is good, he promises to reimburse me. kakaka... isn't it the best time in the day?

had a short meet up with carmen ling, han, mun and karen. everyone looks so different - mun cuts her hair short, karen perms her hair, han is a little pumped up and carmen is a bit slimmer. had a great chat although only for less than 1 hour. mission accomplished - invitation cards are out.

took out my 555 notebook this evening to settle the bill with mum. without realising the fact that i've spent more than rm1,000.00 just for the bed setting and part of the catering session, i was really in shock when i saw the figures shown on the calculation. haa... so much-meh!! sigh... heartache-tim...

i continued my spring cleaning later on and my luggage is getting more and bigger. have not actually finished packing up but i was so tired classifying which to bring over and which to leave behind. looks like i need to bring all my things over, everthing seems useful to me.

just had my dinner and i'm so full now. aah... i need eno...

10 days to go

'hi and congratulations!' - this was from a florist who i saw in the market this morning.
'hi and congratulations! for sure i'll come this friday night for the catering.' - this was from a neighbour who i saw this evening.

no no no... you all get me wrong. not this friday but the next two week's.

just got a call from alex, saying that he can't make it to the catering on next saturday.

no no no... alex, you get me wrong. not next saturday but the next two week's.

but this blur alex corrected me - it's next saturday, my dearest. it's on 8th november, right?

eik... oh no... rupa-rupanya, i'm the blur queen. oh gosh... never expected it will be so soon... next friday, next saturday and next sunday... 11 days to go... the way time flies really horrifies me...

11 days to go for my wedding, 11 days to go to be officially called mrs. cheah, 11 days to go to be permanently living in jalan kuching, 11 days to go... aah...

just came back from nyam cha with alicia and june tan. hahaha... my stomach almost burst out laughing, couldn't stop laughing when talking and listening to them. they were really funny, man... we talked about our bfs, our love experiences, the gifts that we presented to the other half, we shared other brides' 'ji mui' photos and lots more. what a memorable night...

yeah yeah... will be starting my long holiday tomorrow. gotta meet up with carmen ling, han, mun and karen for lunch, do a little shopping and meet up with buddies for dinner and nyam cha. oooh... song-ar!!!

11 days to go

another day to go for my long holidays. yeah yeah yeah...

i'm so exciting - i guess it's because of the long holiday. oops... any my big day too (sshhh... hubby is reading. must give big face to him, must show how long i've waited for my big day, how much i wanted to be his wife. hehehe...)

lately, there are so much quarellings happen at home. over small and big things, over almost everything. sometimes, i feel guilty for being the cause for all the scoldings and yellings. i know they want to do their best for my big day. but at the same time, they are actually ruining my arrangements. doing the best but causing the worst is the worst thing of all and this is now happening to me and perhaps to us.

sigh... asked dad to prepare the seating arrangement and he keeps on delaying it. i just too afraid when the lunch comes, all the guests are blur... don't know where their seats are. can foresee that i won't be able to usher them, wendy and cassey will definitely need to be receptionists, collecting angpows, mum of cause won't be able to do anything, she, herself is blur enough and dad will only know to be an 'instructor'. when we ask him where the guests' seats are - for sure, he'll answer 'i don't know-ar... you all suppose to do ge-mah... aiya, ask me pulak... that's why i said... should have done this way... you all don't listen to me... blah blah blah...'

i know him too well... yeah yeah yeah... he's my dad... sigh sigh sigh... how to make him understand that this little arrangement is actually very importany? he just can't understand a word i say.

12 days to go

as expected, today is a day which full of quarrellings, yellings, screamings... the whole family is pointing at each other, biting our teeth, banning ideas...and so on... today is a mad cow day for me. everyone's a bull and cow...

we back to teluk intan in the early morning, purposely to give out invitation cards and biscuits to the remaining relatives. just don't know why my family couldn't get along together. we couldn't work out a simple thing together. there must be something wrong in between which ended up fighting among ourselves. perhaps this is why we are a family!!

my shoutout of the day...
TIRED!!!

13 days to go - guo dai lei

everyone was so busy this morning, preparing for the 'guo dai lei'...

1. coconuts - set!!
2. 5 coloured beans - set!!
3. orange flavoured soft drink - set!!
4. 'pin pak' leaves - set!!
5. 'buah pinang' - set!!
6. 'lin ji', 'bak hap' & longan - set!!
7. pink guava - set!!
8. bowls with chopsticks and spoons - set!!
9. lotus plant - erm erm erm... where was the lotus plant?

quickly wendy drove dad to the market to get a lotus plant. luckily managed to get it. phew...

hubby and the siblings arrived at around 10.00am, with hundred and one stuff in their hands - fruits, cakes, biscuits, 'pin pak' leaves, liquor and 'mas kahwin'... could see from their faces, there must be something not very happy happened before they came. i think should be the mum-in-law AGAIN. sigh... 'suen-lah'... she is like that 'ge-lah'...

prayers prayers and prayers...

to me, the whole picture of this 'guo dai lei' is receiving and returning gifts - you give me and i give you back. why can't we just skip this session? 'give lei yau give hui', so meaningless. so waste of time too...

the session ended at around 11.30am and followed with the arrival of relatives. i haven't seen some of them for quite some time... since years ago... happy to see them here just for me. we talked, we laughed, we shared, we joked all the way... being the one in the centre of attraction made me feel so uneasy. i have not been one before. everyone was talking about me, teasing on me. at times, i didn't know how to react their jokes and questions. i just laughed and smiled things over. luckily they didn't continue to talk about the jokes or question me. i'm an ostrich today. hahaha...

spent half of the day giving out biscuits to friends and relatives. luckily it wasn't me who did the driving. thanks to cassey for being the driver of the day. gee... **happy**

just came back from the family dinner. so tired... so tired...

ring ring... a call from mum-in-law just now. she apologized iover the phone that she has forgotten to bring over the pair of earrings, which she bought earlier for me. hahaha... she is always the careful one, how come this time so 'sert chak'?? i could imagine how blur she was and how 'luen sui' the morning was.

another tiring day tomorrow... need to leave for teluk intan to give out more biscuits to more relatives. and luckily... i'm not the one who drives. thanks to cassey again. the best driver of the year. kakaka... thanks, big sis!!

gotta go shower now... i'm a salted fish now... :pp

14 days to go... furniture day

a little late tonight. at last my tiredness ended - a minute ago.

woke up quite early today as i need to pick up my 'gah jong' things from the shop and wait for my bed, wardrobe and bedside table to come. quite exciting while waiting for the furniture - my new room is taking a step ahead to completion. after picking up my 'gah jong' we headed back home happily, awaiting for the furniture to reach us @ 2pm. who knows...

m****rf**ker!!! we waited till 4.30pm for the furniture. i didn't know what happened in between and i didn't wanna bother about it. so long, as last they arrived in nice pieces. it took about 2 hours to install the wardrobe and bed. it's okay... although we couldn't wait yet we have waited for hours.

we actually brought our worries to the 'furniture-man' - our room is too small but we have ordered a 6 feet width wardrobe. we only noticed later that it will block all the switches - the lamp, air conditioner and alarm switch. he suggested us to cut a hole at the back of the wardrobe, so that we could get to the switches. although it is troublesome, it is the best way to resolve the problem. we were so happy that he could help us and we thought everything'll work in this way.

the hole is really an a**hole. the measurements are not in place - we could only reach 1 1/2 of the switches. the workmanship is sucks - the cutting is like zig zag. the more i look at the a**hole, the more i feel like killing the 'furniture-man'. it doesn't turn up to be the way we thought it would be. not at all...!! moreover, the cutting spoils the board. and what do think the clever guy did? he coloured the part with a marker. oh gosh... it looks even uglier. not only that, the clever man left three partition board at the shop. and he even asked us to go collect them by ourselves. what kinda service is this??? **marah giler ni!!! my blood is boiling**

i complained like hell but surprisingly hubby didn't voice out a thing. normally, he is the one who complains more. am i being too fussy, nasty or am i becoming an auntie who nags at almost everything? oh no... i don't wanna be there yet.

but no matter what, whether i am or not an auntie yet, i made my complain to the 'furniture-man'... really 'beh-tahan' with the outcome. with my malaysian thinking, what the 'furniture-man' will do? what will us do if he do nothing? nothing-loh... ended up no one did anything, all of us did nothing.

luckily we still have kiat and bui to accompany us for the greatest dinner - bagulolo!! our mood was getting better then... i'm now totally in a perfect mood and a little exciting for tomorrow cos it's gonna be the 'guo dai lei' day.

i was busy preparing for tomorrow session - wrapping, 'ribboning' and arranging things to be sent over to the in-law. everyone in the family was so blur, don't know which and which for the 'guo dai lei' abd bed setting. at last, we decided to pack, ribbon and arrange two to worry leaving anything behind. kekeke...

gotta sleep earlier tonight as i need to send dad to the market to collect the steamed cake and lotus plant. **wondering if i can sleep well tonight. too tired and exciting**

Friday, October 24, 2008

15 days to go

didn't manage to continue with my blog yesterday night. ended up at hubby's home - just to cut out all the troubles for him to come fetch me tonight. and to save me from driving - need to fully enjoy when he still willing to drive me around and i'm still empowered to ask him to do so... kekeke...

got to know that the connection is back in action. quickly i try logging in and here i am...

at last, i got one out from the so many missions left behind. have given out all invitation cards to colleagues this morning. funny to see them discussing how to be there, who will be in whose cars, where to meet up, what time to start the journey from PD and so on... thanks to look and ai sun for taking charge of the car pool. heard that grace and yee ling couldn't make to come to the wedding luncheon, a sad thing though. hmm... not to say a bad thing but more to 'wei herm'-lah.

just have a quick review on all the blogs posted - day by day, word by word... and i realised one thing - my blogs are getting shorter and shorter. am i getting lazier to write or are my days getting bored and more bored down the road?

but i'm so proud that i'm still writing as i'm well known of my 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' character. kekeke... proud that i have some followers. happy to have known the people around me writing blogs. happy to have motivated the people around me who didn't have a blog and started one now. happy to have shared the moments with them discussing how to make our blogs more lively and attractive.

i rewind my mind back to last week when i was doing the shoppings with mum-in-law and fong fong. i saw so many young mothers with their children, playing around happily. the picture was so clear till late night and i was so envy of them. i thought of having my own baby immediately and i'm sure that i'll learn and try my best to be the 'bestest' mum.

after a deep thought... i think i'm not ready to be a mum yet. i'm not willing to sacrifice my slim body that everyone says good. i'm not willing to sacrifice my time spent with hubby and buddies. i'm not willing to stay and wake up at nights. i'm not willing to take up the responsibilities of being a mum yet. this is too burden for me. and yes, i admit it, i'm selfish...

having a baby is really a long term plan - to feed, to raise, to educate, to be financially stable... everything needs patience and tolerance. i have not enough of these. i'm just too emotional, not a good quality and certified mum, i guess. hahaha... **walking away and putting the topic aside**

Thursday, October 23, 2008

16 days to go

let me write something to block the 17th day down the road. at the moment i entered the office block, phew... it looks like i have a alota unsettlements. but today'll be a better one - out of buziness, we'll still be having a raya-deepa celebration in the office. hmm... and there'll be a briefing on new compensation scheme for 2009. it is a new remuneration scheme? hope that it'll be a better one.

i think i gotta complete the invitation cards thingy by tonight. always telling myself that i'm gonna finish this by tonight but ended up 'esok... lusa...'

i can't go on in this way anymore. i need to be more organized, more scheduled. let me list down the things that i need to do... my to do list. hmm... let's see...

1. writing all my invitation cards + giving out
2. packing up my luggage
3. update my wedding planner
4. buy gifts for my sisters (what to buy for them ya... i'm thinking of a wedding planner for cassey since she's getting married. for wendy, i think i'm gonna get her shopping vouchers.)
5. packing things for the 'guo dai lei' ceremony on saturday

it's time for breakfast now. talk to you again tonight. i think should be able to continue as i'll be back home tonight. see ya...

17 days to go

just finished dinner with college mates. thought of going back home straight but ended up in hubby's office. no choice... he needs to print the remaining invitation cards and envelopes for his dad.

his workstation is real small... only about 1/3 of mine. luckily he needs not to stay in the office all the time. at least he gets to go to kl tower sometimes and escapes from his super small workstation. overall, the office looks nice with some colourful 'ketupat's and raya cards as decorations.

see him using chinotes. will going to try that out - writing chinese to you. wait-lah one fine day when i have extra time to learn how to use it. i shall write to you in chinese.

hm... another failed mission. i thought of counting down to my wedding with you. but the counting down stopped yesterday. hubby's home pc is down. i chose to write diary instead.

21/10/2008 @ 11.30 pm - 18 days to go
hubby's home is down, so i can't surf net, facebook, blog and check e-mails. sien-nya...
just came back home facial. it was terribly painful and it has been the most painful session for the past few months. sob sob...
(hungry) couldn't stand it!! had a bowl of rice with soup, stir fried vegetable and meat. diet mission failed again. it's still lucky that i didn't go steamboat with kiat & bui. if not, sigh... lagi-lah fail!!
had a quick chat with mum-in-law too. about the things to bring over to my house for this coming saturday - guo dai lei. so leceh... but what to do? need to do also no matter what. just for the sake of 'once in a lifetime'. aiya... do-lah... just do it!!
never had written diary for quite some time. the last time was erm... if i'm not mistaken... back in 200...0/1, when i was in college. aiya... 'ter-let' you know my age-lah... DON'T COUNT!! DON'T GUESS!! DON'T CALCULATE!! DON'T THINK!!DON'T SAY IT OUT!! STOP IT!!!
topic is closed...
back to my diary. the feeling is not too bad. it reminds me on how long i haven't had written so many words on a piece of paper. it reminds me on how bad my handwriting is. it reminds me on how badly i spoiled the appearance of my scheduler. hahaha...
gonna meet up with college mates tomorrow. miss ya all so much...
'ji mui' - ready to pick up my red bomb? here it goes (fly)...

Monday, October 20, 2008

19 days to go

today i'm totally blank...

i'm now waiting for hubby to come fetch me to his house. tomorrow he'll be sending me to the office as he'll need to fetch me after my facial and we gotta dine out with our our college mates on wednesday. aiya... suddenly, i'm so packed with after work activities.

it's about time to give out invitation cards but i haven't finished writing the names. gotta finish the task by tonight. huhu... hubby, please help me... : )

sigh... just don't know why my mum is soo... 'naggy' nowadays. she nags over small things. she nags in the mornings before i go work. she nags at nights when i get home. she nags even later at nights before i go to sleep. she is just like a recorder - records and plays. in fact, she is a super high quality recorder with speaker, which plays all day and night long, never goes low battery. hehe... :p

(i'm thinking of having mamak style fried mee... yum yum...)

Sunday, October 19, 2008

20 days to go

ooh... i'm soooooo tired and yet i'm soooooo happy. time and money spent on shopping, sure happy-lah...!!

let's talk about yesterday shopping tour...

before the family dinner, wendy and i still 'sempat' to go for a quick shopping at i-setan and pavillion. at first, just thought of changing the size of the skirt that wendy had bought for amelie girl. didn't know why we headed to the food fair and bought 2 baskets of instant noodles, snacks and juice. didn't know why we headed to pavillion and bought our innerwear.

hmm... these were not the happiest 'jin lei bern'. the happiest ones were my melody 2009 scheduler and note pad with envelopes. yeah yeah yeah~~~ i've added 2 items more in my melody collection. i was too happy to describe how happy i was yesterday. too excited till i couldn't sleep last night. can you imagine that...? this feeling is superb superb~~~!!!

moreover, the dinner added to my excitement. it is a chinese restaurant in parkroyal hotel - sze chuan dao hua restaurant. we were discussing whether to pick the buffet or 10-course dinner and finally we picked the buffet, which offers 60 dishes in its menu. we had shark's fin soup, fried scallops, soft shell crabs, prawns and vege. for dessert, we had the famous 'dao hua', mango pudding, herbal jelly, aloe vera with sea coconut and crispy red bean cake.

out of all this, there was one thing that i admired the most - the refillable herbal tea, that costs rm10 per pax. it was served by a chinese man, who is so skillful to pour the hot water into the cup through a kettle with long... erm... i don't know what we call that part. it is where the water comes out from the kettle-lah... fu-yoh!! he was like performing wushu and kungfu. we were so excited seeing him doing that and we kept on asking him questions about where he learned the skills from, where he is from, why he wanted to learn this... we were so kepoh, i know that :pp

worth a try... only rm48++. the environment is good, the food is nice, the drink is special, the dessert are okay and the people is friendly.

very full last night... couldn't sleep well. and i have to go shopping with my mum-in-law and xiu fong fong today.

and now... let's talk about today's shopping tour...

reached hubby's house at 11.15 am. gave him a big surprise as i didn't tell him that i'll go shopping with them. and he was so surprise as this is the first time i'm doing this. yeah yeah... i seldom give people surprises... okay, i'm not creative... :pp

left the house at 12.00pm and drove to our first destination - pavillion. had our brunch in republic foodcourt and off we headed to parkson and boutiques. surprising, they didn't have anything in hand but i have one. got rm20 cash voucher from yesterday's shopping, i bought my melody 2009 table calendar. it's so cute... so cute... : )

we gave up after spending hours there with nothing in hand. we headed to another destination - sunway pyramid. it's very far away but we went there too. not a problem, i was not the one who drives. hehehe...

walk walk walk and walk... i couldn't feel my legs... but at least we bought something here. we've got the ones that we've planned to buy for my wedding - a set of teapot with cups and bowls with chopsticks and table spoons. okay-lah... today could be said as a fruitful shopping tour.

we were so out of mood to continue shopping, we were too tired to continue, i'd say. we stopped for our dinner at kim gary. tired and full, we decided to go back home. sigh... i need to drive back home from hubby's place. so tired... so tired... but happy-lah... : )

p/s: i've also bought a surprise gift for hubby.
'honey, i know you are reading this. i won't tell you what it is now. you will get to know when the time comes. neh neh neh neh neh... :p'

Saturday, October 18, 2008

21 days to go

i've reached office. i guess i'm not the first... i don't wanna be too... : (

feeling real good to be seated at the passenger seat. kakaka... wendy drove me to work. just because of our family get-together dinner tonight at park royal hotel to celebrate dad's birthday, which has been delayed for some weeks.

hahaha... finally i know that surprise!! hubby has get himself a facebook account - with no profiles updated, with no photos upload. the most 'mm hoi wei' profile i've ever seen. but really appreciate his effort to go through all the steps for registration, log-in and the massage that he dropped me. thinking of the photos that he'll be uploading - his photos will be my photos too... how-lah...?? i rather he contributes to my blog. kekeke... really funny when i think of his facebook. facebook with no face. kakaka...

'anyway, thank you so much, honey... i know you don't give a damn to all these gadgets and online thingies. but you did it purposely for me. i really appreciate every single little thing that you have done for me. thank you...'

it's 8.10am now. need to get myself boost up with a cup of nice coffee.

(ssshhh... the system is monitoring my online activities. so, can't write too long)

Friday, October 17, 2008

22 days to go

correct way - it's friday~~!!
my way - it's friday... need to work tomorrow.

correct way - it's saturday~~!!
my way - only one rest day...

boring...

reached office at 7.20am just to prepare myself for a long working day and training session. today i'm extremely slow in whatever i do... slow slow i started work, slow slow i went for lunch, slow slow i attended training, slow slow i walked to car park and slow slow i drove back home.

asked wendy to cook me instant noodle. surprisingly, she agreed. hmm... something's wrong with her. but since she agreed to cook, i didn't comment anything-lah. hehehe...

and another surprise from my teamleaders - asking me to be the second-liner in the team. but i rejected them. seeing one by one, specially those great people to work with, leaving the company really demotivates me. at the moment, i rather be a small potato than to take up extra responbilities. yeah... i'm simple always... just be me... say yes when i want and say no when i don't want.

i'm wondering what is the surprise that hubby was telling me just now while we were on the phone. hm.... (wondering now). what is it-leh....??

Thursday, October 16, 2008

23 days to go

don't know why... my frustration comes back today. for the first time in my life, i'm lost of direction - in whatever. i thought the situation has been better but it has worsen. i thought i could make it but everything left undone. i thought i could, i thought it could be better, i wished it would be... but everything was not working in the way i thought it supposed to be... so demotivating... sigh... : (

thanks to amy kee and fai chai for accompanying me this afternoon - thanks for spending your time chatting with me. i feel much better after talking to you guys...

thanks to my hubby too for his call this evening - thanks for the share of laughters. it really enlightened my bored evening. thanks, honey...

i talked to god just now - just to relieve my tension and hope to find a better way out. it was a funny conversation though...

'god ar god, why you give me so much challenges this month-har? park my car also wanna challenge me-meh? so hard to give me a parking space-meh? i really cannot stand-liao. how-lah? can discount a bit or not? i know in the end you will definitely help me through the tough times but can make it a little easier or not? ok-lah... deal ar?! set!! amen...'

planned to have a second spring cleaning tonight (planned since last saturday) but i'm too tired. not willing to move right now... better sleep now... gotta wake up @ 6.00am tomorrow. nite~~~

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

24days to go

talked to fai chai today through e-mail. haha... she's now seeing the blue sky after the rain (yu guo tin ching), no more clouds over her head (wu wen koi teng). kakaka...

'good luck in your new job. i'm happy for you. 'bei di serm gei lah'.

thought that i could finish my work before leaving at 5.00pm. yes, i thought... i really thought i could do it with my 101% perfect planning... unfortunately, my planning was ruined by the IT. it really chose the best time to get my machine fixed. the activity has started for some days but i'm so lucky to be scheduled on the day i wanted to leave early.

'thanks to you, bro. you really make my day a s**t!!'

i didn't give a damn!! still i left the office at 5.00pm. rushing to my car in drizzling rain... f**k!! why suddenly it rained so heavily? ran ran ran and vrroom... off i went to times square for my facial.

as usual, the facial was so hurt. i'm wondering when will my skin recover. it's almost 1 1/2 year i'm with this beautician. no doubt my skin looks much more better now but people will never be satisfy with what we are having. i'm one of the 'people', you see... relax relax relax... and it will get better later - this is what i always say to myself.

just arrived home and i'm a dead fish... so tired... thought of completing the guest list tonight... but seems like my 101% planning fails to launch again.

oh gosh, i haven't call my hubby yet. bye...

have alota good news today. knowing that one of my ex-colleagues who is living in the world of flinstone (according to her-lah) will be able to attend my wedding lunch. at the same time, there's a person... who is very important... couldn't make it. and yet... her absense delights us so much!! that's my boss~~!!

actually, the invitation is just a 'choon lei' and a 'soon bin' thing to do. boss ma... must invite-lah. hopefully she can't make it-lah and who knows she really can't make it~~!! my colleagues were all jumping off their chairs after knowing this. kakaka... so happy and... relieved :pp

aiya... i need to sort out the final guest list by today. i need uphamol 650...

left sharp at 5.15pm today. what a wonderful day. my arrival at home was welcomed with laughters and hugs. as a return to the 'hospitality' that they offered, i treated them ice-creams!! everybody was so happy...

tonight i plan to sleep earlier, as early as... let's say 10.30pm. but im almost zzz...

26 days to go

monday blues... monday blues... monday blues...

nothing much happened in the office today. just training, training and training. working, working and working as usual.

today is my boss' birthday. we had a simple a.k.a. surprise birthday party for her in the pantry. oh... she was so 'surprise'!!

had my bridal make up trial this evening. not bad... i'm pretty sure of her skills although didn't get much compliments from the spectators. kekeke... no worries and i'll be looking good on that day.

i'm at the same thing browsing through the photos of my marriage registration in facebook.com. feels like it just happened a few minutes ago. so fresh in mind.

got alota congrats and wishes from friends. there... i realised most of my friends are getting married this and next year.

when'll be my buddies' weddings then? 'better 'ga yau... le wei'

another rainy night... i better continue checking my facebook. dozens of e-mails and notifications...

Sunday, October 12, 2008

27 days to go... my big day

woke up @ 7.00 am, bathed and prepared myself for the big day. i decided to dress up in black as this is one of my favourite colours and the dress that i purposely bought is more than okay for this ceremony.

have not got myself into the mood yet, actually. 'selamba'... i waited for my brother-in-law to send us to the marriage registration office @ maju junction mall.

got a call from one of the guests, asking us where we were. haa... the groom has not arrived yet!!

waited for about 10 minutes, finally he appeared. hwee... thanks for coming, my dear...

there was one thing happened just like what i've expected. my mother-in-law commented on my dressing. i knew she would and i purposely did that actually. i 'saje' wanna to make her blood boiled. kakaka... and i succeeded!! kakaka...

photographing... photographing... photographing...
chit-chatting... chit-chatting... chit-chatting...
congratulations here... thank you there...

our parents, hubby and i took our places while the registration officer was preparing for the ceremony. i should have taken every single word he said but unluckily, i didn't. not able to share the power of his words. i just remembered him asking this question - do you take this lady / gentleman to be your wife / husband, willing to share no matter in good and bad times?

yes, i do...

**exchanging wedding bans**

cheah, you may now kiss your bride **smoooch**

and... omg!! my man was in tears. i have never seen him crying all this while. at first, i was okay... but seeing him in tears made me cried too. we were too touched and emotional. it was a beautiful feeling when we comforted each other, teasing and laughing at each other.

**i'm recalling what had happened this morning and still i'm in tears. i think we'll never forget this moment. it's simply too memorable and something we should always cherish for the rest of our lives. we needed each other even more and we are more appreciative of each other now. omg... i just can't stop crying. (taking deep breaths)**

getting married is something very sacred, which only can be done once in a lifetime. although it is, the responsibilities of being a wife / mummy actually increase the level of pressure in my life. the 'gern jeong' me always a perfectionist, always wanted things to be done / designed in a perfect way. i always wanted to be a good wife - but how good is good? i do not and have not asked myself or hubby about this. is it too late to ask now?

anyhow, another thing got off the list. the next event should be the furniture day on 25th october.

would like to take this opportunity to thank all the guests who came today - for your time and effort to wake up so early on a sunday. you guys made our memorable day a remarkable one. can't imagine the ceremony without you guys. thank you very much, sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

p/s : today is also the in-law's 28th year anniversary. this even makes our day much more memorable : )

28 days to go

this morning i drove my mum to the nearby market. it has been quite some time i didn't drive her to the market and yet everything stays the same. the same hawkers, the same sellers, the same materials... but there was 1 thing, which is so-very different - the way the people looked at me. i think all the people in the market, from the flowerist to the hawkers, know that i'll be getting married soon. the feeling is so weird... :p

worked half day today and surprisingly, the time passed very fast. 4 hours passed in just blinks.

went for pedicure & manicure after work. at last, i got a chance to send my nails for a luxurious treatment. i have waited so long for this...

went to telelink after that to pass the note a.k.a. invitation card to the appointed coordinator in telelink. although i took hours to complete the guest list, still left out some from the list :p

preparing my mood for tomorrow big event...

29 days to go

today i don't feel like working. so... lazy to work. after attending a training in the morning, worked a little... lunch time!! quite some time didn't have kfc for lunch, today's kfc tasted better than usual.

got to know monday will be my boss' birthday. didn't want to know this, anyway. colleagues shared little money to buy her a card and a present - know knowing what'll that be yet. i think she must be very happy getting the surprises from us. there was a great joke from one of the colleagues, it made me non-stop laughing and couln't wait to share it with other colleagues who were not there when she joked.

pat : what are we going to buy for her?
a.s. : don't know yet. anything-lah... so long there's a present.
pat : hmm...
a.s : perhaps everyone holds a candle and sing her a birthday song-lo...
pat : haa... really-meh?
a.s : wait... we have not enough people to hold candles.
silent... silent... silent...

**think** what does this mean? we looked at each other and lol~~~
**think** is she that old?
**lol**

i still laughing to myself till now. kakaka... hahaha... hohoho...

just had dinner with an ex-colleague and her bf. although so long didn't see her, she is still the old time her. still pretty, still funny. heard her complaining her working life, her colleagues, her everything in s'pore. so funny and interesting...

have bought a note card a.k.a. invitation card to invite telelinkers to the catering on 8th november as they can't make it to the wedding lunch. hmm...i need to prepare the guest list now but i'm still feeling lazy now... don't know why...

and i enjoy this feeling, so relaxing...

30 days to go

at last... i left the office @ 5.20 pm. although it was drizzling, looking at the bright sky, i smelled the fresh air. i took a deep breath, happily walking to the car park in rain. the feeling was just like a prisoner's first step out from the prison. released and relieved.

this is my first time driving in such a heavy rain. the pouring rain totally covered the whole windscreen, i couldn't see anything. so dangerous... thanks god, i arrived home safely.

once i stepped into my home sweet home, the 3 monkeys were activated. eik, today only 2 - 1 falls sick, not that active. but the 2 are enough to make me sick. after all the hi, i miss you, i love you, how are you, kisses and hugs... i settled down and again took a deep breath. this time, i smelled my home. a smell that i have long forgotten...

jarod boy told me that he is unhappy and pressured. he feels that no one cares about him. everyone seems take good care and pay all the attention on amelie girl. i finally understand his disobedience and misbehaviour all this while. all he needed is only attention.

to be frank, i don't see things that he sees. most of the time, i will just leave him alone, thinking that he'll be alright a little while later. he may then look okay and i dare not to think further about it.

i never have expected to hear this from a 9 year old boy. so emotional and deep... i think he means it this time. i'm not sure how long he has been keeping this to himself. he stimulates my emotion too and makes me think that being a parent is really not easy, especially being a mum.

mum will always be the one who comforts, understands, listens, shares and advises. i'm still not sure if i could be a good mum. this is too far, too far from me...

i'm now watching tv, reporting on kelly chen's wedding. heard from every guest saying that the ceremony was so warmth and touched. she was so beautiful in her gowns. it was really her day...

don't be silly-lah... i'm not expecting something like that. too grand, i can't cope...

pre countdown

i start packing up things today. so far, just have done a little. i realise one thing - i have many new clothes, left at a corner, with the labels still attached to them, which i bought during the last season sale, erm... last last season sale, or perhaps the last last last season sale... i really can't recall when i bought them.

i nicely pack them into big paper bags, then only realise that paper bags aren't enough. i need to look for big boxes instead.

looking at this situation, it looks more like a spring cleaning. hahaha...

just got to know that the my new room is ready. had just finished the renovation and painting. yahoo~~~ another thing got out from my list.

tomorrow will be the official countdown to 8th november 2008...

i wished i could ban this SPA

i write myself a piece of note today. here it goes...

i am now in a SPA. i don't know how this SPA could survive. no massages, no beds, no aromatheraphy treatments, nothing at all!!
in fact, there is a CEO/COO/GM who does the talkings. there are two MCs who make make the SPA even more boring, dozens pages of powerpoint slides flying around on the projector screen and hundred and one stupid games specially designed for us, 'konon'...
the name of this SPA is... cheng cheng cheng - steering prudential ahead.
**fly kite** **phew~~~**
just had a bad lunch @ the prince hotel. i had once experienced its aweful buffet some time back in 2007, right after the company's away day to dusun eco. i could only think of one reason the company chose this venue again - well, it's the nearest to the office. yucks!! yucks!! yucks!! i swear that won't come back here for whatever event it is!! erm... unless forced to : (
everyone's in red today - my most unfavourable colour. everuthing seems not right for me today. haa... except one thing! i browsed through a book about handcraft during the lunch. the items are so cute!! suddenly, i feel my interest is there. anyway and anyhow, i will need to know the cost of working out this hobby. i know myself too well. i tend to lose interest on anything in an extreme fast mode. afraid that i will waste my time and money later. 'tei ding di sin...' i find myself very much wiser now. don't u think so too?hahaha...
...30 mins passed...
blah blah blah... the CEO is still talking...
it's now the MCs' time... boring... : (
argh... oh no!! it's the GM's turn now... boring boring : (
(although there are games, he's still boring)
...10 mins passed...
we are still in the stupid games
...15 mins passed...
the GM is still talking. talking about promotions that always kill us during month ends, figures, figures and figures, targets, targets and targets. out of so many things, there is none beneficial to us, as employees.
'saai hei'...
tea break - yeah yeah yeah~~~
and...
talkings and stupid games again
and...
stupid games
and...
a rushed and bad ending wrap-up (as usual)
************************************************
the best part comes - back to office and my day begins now

conclusion : this SPA does not help me in relaxing (at all). instead it burdens me.

message to all - ladies and gentlemen, please do not go to this SPA again. kekeke :p

relaxing

today is a bit relaxing and thought of writing blog in the office. surprisingly, it has been blocked by the company's server. what the f**k?! my working life is already a miserable and tensed one. my one and the only entertainment in the office is now gone... forever... sob sob...

got to know one of my colleagues has tendered her resignation. not a surprise news. well, everyone wishes too and plans to, i guess. just the matter of time and who goes first. may my wishes always be with her.

reaching home earlier today makes me feel 'mou soh si si'. when i reached home last month end, i needed to rush things out - bathe, watched tv, dinner cum supper, almost everything. but... i don't know what to do today. bathe - already. watch tv - like too much, i feel a little tired. dinner - can't eat much also. the most only takes me 15 minutes. what else to do-leh?

thought of planning for an escape over the weekend. movie marathon? free stay @ genting? morning walk @ FRIM? karaoke? so long... no more shopping, no more talking about wedding. i think my hubby and i too need a break. think think about it. but definitely it won't be this weekend - a very important thing to do - yeah yeah... my marriage registration.

it's only 10.30 pm. what to do tonight 'lau lau cheong'? ahh... let me browse through the photos of robyn's birthday party.

buzz all day long...

woosh... my wedding is approaching... help... the nearer it is, the more voices are surrounding me - just like the 'dai bei jao'. never imagine that i'll be starting the 31-days counting down in less than 2 days.

to set a marriage registration date also got buzzed by my parents. why this date and not that date? why this hour and not that hour? why yours can be done on a weekend whereby cassey's couldn't? aiyo... how to answer so many questions at a time? in the end, i answered none. it is 12/10/2008 @ 9.00am because it is 12/10/2008 @ 9.00am-loh... the best answer ever.

went to ikea and courts yesterday to scout for a bedside table. hoo... now only i know... a suitable bedside table is real hard to find. couldn't find any, ended up only bought bunches of clothes hangers, storage compartments for the wardrobe and a table lamp.

haa... guess what?? my mum-in-law had actually bought us a pair of table lamps with the big 'hei' on the shades. can see that she likes them very very much and hopes that we like them as much as she likes them. erm... they are 'modernized' old-fashioned table lamps. i swear everyone won't be able to see these table lamps after my wedding. for sure, i'll hide them somewhere, where no one could ever find them again. can u see how much we like them? hmm... if the narnia world really exist, i wished i could throw the table lamps over. kakaka :p

don't know why i accepted to attend the food tasting session today. my parents and i attended the session with the in-law and their 'lou yao'. the session went through smoothly, i'd say - everyone got along well - yau king yau gong yau xiu... yum yum... the food tasted very good too :)

after the food tasting, we went back to the in-law's house. hmm... a happy thing to know today - the renovation started today afternoon, from the parent's room to the living hall. estimated to finish by next saturday. hopefully, everything goes well. hmm... at last... : )

have just chosen the colour for my new room - aqua white. we both feel the colour suits our room the best, although my mum-in-law strightly disagreed with us. who cares... it's our room, anyway :p

buzz buzz buzz... after a long discussion of what to buy, what to give and what to return during the 'guo dai lei' session, my parents and i decided to visit the one-stop shop in ipoh road, which sells all these things. bought all the necessary items and happy that another 'to-buy' and 'to-do' thing got stroke off from the list.

although one got stroke off, there are still many, too many 'to buy' and 'to do' things in my list - the marriage registration will be next week, shopping with mum-in-law the week after next week, collecting the items from the one-stop shop for my 'gah jong' session, arranging the delivery of my wardrobe and bed, attending facial appointments, settling with the 'gah jong' day and reaching the wedding ceremony in 30 over days.

tiring but yet exciting. this is a weird feeling, which i'm unable to describe. i don't hope for the day to come so fast but i hope it comes sooner. i don't wanna go through these wedding preparations but i wanna do them all. i don't wanna listen to so much opinions and naggings from the olds but i enjoy it sometimes. i don't wanna have the wedding lunch but i afraid i will regret it. weird-leh...?

am i a weirdo?

i miss you so much, my blog...

the last month end was so tiring and dead. it made me so busy, emotional, miserable and troubled with all sorts of negative feelings. it also made me missed my routine blog writing. i miss u so much, my baby...

so many things i wanna share with u. so many things have happened for the past week or two.

1. stayed up to 10.30pm last month end (30th september). really a tiring month end. sigh... at last it ended. a new month, a new beginning for me. i'm feeling less stress now but the feeling is piling up again : (

2. had a night out with all my buddies and hubby. after so long didn't have nightouts, i'm a totally stranger to this new environment. the music, the clubbers, everything... are all new to me. i need to go out regularly to update myself - i don't wanna be a married auntie who sits at home all the time!! oh no..... NEVER!!

3. shopping and shopping, from window shopping to shopping till i drop~~~ the feeling was so good... so nice... i've got all the goods!! so long didn't go out shopping too. buy buy buy... pay pay pay... who cares... money 'je-mah'... cheh... :pp

4. got to know that vv will be leaving earlier than planned. a week earlier. may all the good luck with u, goodbye, vv... sob sob...

5. had a good chat with jennifer leong through e-mails. got to know her more, how her everyday goes by, how her life is with the man that she deeply in love with and her lovely byn byn... never had known her so much when she was in kl. perhaps, the farer the person from us, the more we need and want to know about him/her.

6. got to know that one of my buddies will be getting married soon @ koh samui. need to plan the holiday ahead and i have already feeling excited about it. can't wait to fly there... 'orang lidi' and koh samui, wait for me ya... yahoo~~~

7. still missing ipoh very much... : )
