Cries of a Bridezilla Gone Beserk

You’d know that you are no longer that composed, sweet and blushing bride-to be:

1.When Martha Stewart, your packed lunch and your cubicle became your loyal companion at 1 in the afternoon.

2.When crossing off guest names from your list is a daily immature activity if people somehow find ways to piss you off.

3.When you feel like screaming at the top of your lungs when your presentation on wedding theme, choice of colours and concept are being vetoed by family members.

4.When eating is no longer a necessity, just to fit yourself into that wedding dress.

5.When the thing that keeps you sane at work (besides salary and bonus) is the thought of getting wedding gifts and hantaran.

6.When ice cream, chocolate and yummy treats had lost that irresistible appeal.

7.When crashing weddings (of friends and strangers) becomes a weekly event.

8.When you have recurring nightmares of people laughing and pointing at your excess lemak and how weird you look as you are walking down that aisle.

9. When door gifts, flowers and catering win over the need for new handbags and shoes.

10.When your bonus looks tiny in comparison to the budgeted costs of having the wedding of your dreams.


*Deep breath*~
As I am writing this, I realized how silly little things and tiny details about the wedding could easily freak me out, considering how little time I have left to prepare. I hope the symptoms I’m suffering isn’t all that rare!

After careful thought, I’d have to say that having THE perfect wedding does not entirely define you & your partner nor your marriage. What matters is being there together with the people you care to celebrate your special day. A wise friend told me, embrace the challenge, spend in moderation & have loads of fun planning!

Taking the Plunge in Colour Style

After months of blank incomprehensible stares whenever asked about my wedding theme and colour, I have finally decided to stick to a combination I love most.

Colours are important in potraying one's style and identity. So I'm planning to take this seriously, regardless of what people may say. Night or daytime, traditional or modern, the event should be able to portray the joys of the eventful day (in this case, it should be 3 days!) , without being wasteful.

One of trickiest things to do is to covince the rest of the family on the theme and concept. Since pink was optioned out, here's what I have in mind:


For Aqad (Adrin's Residence):
Silver, Light Green, White



For My Reception (Klana Resort):
Yellow, Green, White


For Mr Fiance's Reception (Tabung Haji, Ampang):
Pink, Fuschia, Light Green, Yellow


Thank goodness all of my wedding dresses are white. Matching them shouldnt be that much of a problem. Now, on to the shoes and bouquet!

:D

Lucky

Let's face it. Nothing comes easy in life. Indeed, it is the painstaking efforts, the sacrifices, the blood, sweat and tears shed which allowed one to truly appreciate his/her own success.

But how do you explain those people who were just born lucky, talented, rich and famous without a worry in the world? (or so it seemed?) What about people who are just plain geniuses and so intelligent that they need not work half as hard, compared to others who simply had no choice but to put in the extra hours? What is it also about the mambo jambos going around about “visualising” and “believing” in your dreams and that eventually those would come “rolling” to you and the universe would somehow work its way to help you achieve what you want?

I have always believed that those are partly true. By believing in your heart that you are capable and worthy of something, eventually your actions would reflect your goals and whatever you do would be in pursuit of them, be it a new a car, a job promotion, having a loving, happy family, losing weight, a new house or even that outrageously expensive handbag you’ve had your eyes on. There is no such thing as sitting around, waiting for it to come true. It takes work, determination and one’s willingness to endure possible disappointments- sometimes, success may not make its first visit. I’ve discovered that one can have it all, sooner or later. It may not be as perfectly as pictured, but it can be nearly as wonderful.

You are in fact what you believe you are. And "Luck" might not be it at all.

About to be Charmed

Were you ever in a situation where no else existed, nothing else mattered and all you want to do is spend your very existence with a special someone? First thing that came to mind, is a vacation getaway (with just me and Mr Fiance) exploring the beach, swimming, snorkeling, feeding each other mangos and drinking coconut. Guess what? That’ll be a reality in a mere 5 months!

After working our a**es off for the past 4 years, it has been a while since I had a great relaxing vacation! I’m so looking forward to it!

All thanks to Mr Fiance and his genius idea, we won the Honeymoon package @ Midvalley Wedding Fair. Kamandalu Resort is about to become our Honeymoon destination! It’s one of those things I look forward to (besides the wedding, of course) which keeps me going and alive at work!
*jumping up and down* I’m so psyched!!
