1 month & 1 week...

Is it too late to start panicking? hahahaa... well, I have to say, I haven't started panicking just yet. Maybe when I see.. "1 week to our big day".. then i'll go... Oh.. MY!
hahahahahaha...

Next week is already December! can you believe it? how time just "ZOoOOommm" pass you? sigh.
must really appreciate everything that we have every day!

My colleague and I started buying Christmas gifts. I bought some from Crabtree for my in-laws & also for my wedding. :) They had a 30% discount for members. Though non of us is a member but the promoter could recognize that we often drop by the outlet. So she still gave us the discount! *NICE!!*

Also bought a thermos from Starbucks for my colleague.

Now I need to get 2 more gifts! think think think... :P

I got a beautiful surprise last night! Hubby came back to surprise me. Just can't describe how happy I was. Just couldn't stop hugging him. Even asked him if I was dreaming. haha.
*Thanks darling.. *hugs* *

I better go check the laundry and allow dad to use the computer. haha..

Fridays are the best...

I know. Everyone would agree with me. Since when Friday SUCKS rite? Well, some Fridays does but it's a general thinking that EVERYONE LOVES FRIDAYs!

Well, I love Friday even more now. Of course the main reason is that it's the day that I can be with Han. :)

I'm so looking forward to this Friday. :)) 

and since I'm in a happy thought mode.. I shall do work now! :P

Feeling better..

I'm feeling a little better now... 

Went out for dinner with parents. Then dad came and fix our porch light. Played with Nougy for a while then came back online. :P

Maybe that's my life now.. hahaa.. I sure have tonnes of things to do after this.

Have to

1) Iron work clothes

2) Make more invites for those we have left out

3) Bathe

4) Talk to Han

5) SLeep!! My eyes are burning from the water works. :P

Thanks to Ai Chee who called me just now. :) Sorry to have just burst out.

and my sis, who was online trying her best to tell me that everything will be just fine. :)

He is just 2 hours drive away...

It's our first day apart.. starting our new life "together".

The moment I stepped into our house, I felt the emptiness already. Just broke down immediately. I think Nougy knows that I'm not happy too, he started kissing me and whining when I locked him out. Poor boy, not going to be able to play with his dada all the time now.

I'm feeling much better now. After crying non-stop for 20-30mins. I have to be strong for our future. It's just a matter of getting used to. We'll be able to make it through.

Stressed... perhaps?

It's 6.20am and I'm awake! should I curse?

I really feel like sleeping cause every week day I've been complaining that I don't get enough sleep. And now that I get the chance to wake up later than normal days.. I can't sleep! F***!

The first thing that came to mind.. perhaps I'm stressed? My tummy had some acidic feeling last night. Took a pill and I dosed off. Perhaps I have to take another pill now. F***! Am I suppose to take the pill til the day comes?

I'm cursing more than usual this morning. Not in my best mood but I know I have to control myself. I have errands to run later. F***! I really hope I don't say the wrong words later. don't want things between hubby and I to turn bad today cause when we are alone together, the time is precious.

SHIET! I better try to rest my mind... ARRGGgHHhh! I know Han will ask me why later.. 

OK.. Yi Lei.. take a deep breath... and breathe... in and out... and... GO TO BED! shiets.. i'm talking to myself. sigh... Help?

Just when it's getting near..

It's one and a half months to go.. and my mum is getting on my nerves.. BIG TIME!

1st: She hasn't settled her dress for the reception. Still delaying.. and only God knows why.

2nd: She hasn't found her attire for church. Still delaying .. and again.. only God knows why.

3rd: She don't know whether my dad's tailor can find a matching material to his jacket. Still delaying.. and only God knows why.

4th: She decided to have tea ceremony because her friend said something. I told her that I've scheduled it to be before dinner at the hotel (scheduled it even though my mum initially insist she doesn't want one but of course, i know her better.). However, she didn't like the idea. WANTS IT IN THE MORNING! Now, i have to re-schedule my whole agenda for the day because of a fickle-minded self! yes.. only God knows why.

Oh dear God, I really pray that this is the end of the procrastinating and the fickle mind. I really do want to have fun on our day.  

Our house warming..

We threw a house warming party on 1st Nov 2008. It was really tiring for Han & I but we enjoyed ourselves. Didn't get to talk long with everyone who came (sorry peeps)... but I guess they all understood that it wasn't easy to be taking care of so many groups. :)) We had about 50 people over. Han's parents, my parents, my mum's relatives who are staying in SJ, my dad's bro & family and our friends!

I cooked the "Ayam Goreng Rempah" (a secret recipe from Han's mum) and Spaghetti. Sue & Joan came over early to cook "Really Garlicky Chicken".Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the food! YIKES!

My mum cooked two dishes. One steamed vegetable and another vegetarian mixed vegetables. :) 

We ordered a roast lamb (which was really yummy and we still had a quarter of the lamb in the freezer.), fried meehoon and fruit tartlets. My mum's friend (Aunty Adeline) made swiss rolls & cheese tarts (which everyone really loved!). Sen Chee helped me make jellies. :))

We had a lot of left over.(Only the Spaghetti was wiped clean) But we threw a lot of them away especially the meehoon. Next time, I shall not have so many variety. 

Here are some photos that I took..(and I don't think any of our friends took photos on that day, except for my Uncle Ping and cousin, Elijah)

We made these little gifts for our guests.

With CG, Joan, Sue & Andy

With the Woo Family

With my besties from Form 6

With my UOB colleagues

With the Tan family & June (Cheng Whuah's gf)

OUR GIFTS!! WEeeeee!! :))

We gave out those little boxes of raisins & crispy together with our wedding invites. :)) 

YUP YUP! Our wedding invite is ready! Suresh, Sue & Joan helped us put them together before the house warming party. Suresh was the "ribbon burner". Sue & Joan were the people tying the ribbons. hehehehe..

The printer made a mistake, didn't print enough maps to the church. But luckily they printed 30 maps and it was just nice for all the people that came to our house! :P

OH! and i also found out that my wedding gown is ready for fitting!! my evening gown will be ready for fitting by this week.. so i'll most probably do the fitting next week! :)))

This Saturday is another big day.It's my bestie, Syaza's wedding!! WOoHHOOOOoo! Me going to help her out from tomorrow til Friday. Hope I'll be of good help.. :P

Syaza's Birthday & random of everything

We celebrated Syaza's 25th on the 25th. It was a fantastic day! We wanted to bring her to My Elephant, a Thai restaurant at Section 17 for lunch, but it was closed! Surprisingly. So we had to come up with a SUPER QUICK back up plan. So we brought her to Sri Ayuthaya at Pusat Bandar Damansara.

The Birthday Girl taking a look at the menu.

All of us at Ayuthaya. You can see our reflections on the Lazy Susan. :)

After lunch, we blind folded her to Pusat Reflexology Hartamas, Sri Hartamas. All of us went for a body message & foot reflexology. That's when Sulo & Zima's laughing gland were activated.. hhahaha..

My feet wrapped like a turban

The 4 of us while waiting for our turn. Zima was our camera woman. :)

After the massage, we blind folded Syaza again and brought her to Peninsula, KL. Sulo tried to convince her that we are going to Genting. Of course she failed. haha.

She didn't open her eyes immediately after Sulo removed the blind fold.

This is when the water works came in. ahaha. I was trying so hard not to cry too. I failed. :P

Us on the Princess Coach.

FUN FUN FUN!

More photos are uploaded on my FB (which is taking FREAKING LONG!).

Once again, Best Wishes to Syaza! *hugs* to you babe.. :))

The random things..

Suresh came over last Friday. He brought 4 bottles of wine. We had 2 at home. So we tasted all 6 types of wine. Just to choose the "perfect" one for our wedding. :P

This is Fern's full moon gift. :))

Just love the packaging and of course the food inside.. haha

This Durian Puff we bought from Oh Papa, Damansa Uptown. It's nice! and we were surprised that it had so much filling inside. :)

Just to acknowledge my confusion in my last post. I still can't reveal the news. It hasn't been confirmed yet but it's heading towards it. We hope it'll work out. Praying very hard for it to work out. My colleague knew that i'm feeling confused (she don't know the news). She advised me to choose to be Tigger, no matter what happens. She got this motivation from this guy....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9ya9BXClRw

I'm very inspired by him. He passed away in July 2008. Before he left for heaven, he gave lots of lectures about life and he did it all for his 3 young sons. After watching this video, I chose to always be Tigger. :))

confusing day...

It was fantastic news! we have been waiting for it.. but now.. I just feel.. happy & sad. Is it possible to feel that way? maybe that's how people came up with the sentence.. "tears of joy". ahahhaha..

Well, I can't exactly break the news just yet. I'll have to wait til next week. I really hope I don't jinx it. but it does look like 90% confirmed. sigh.

so should I be happy or sad?

And I guess due to this confusion, I ate a lot today. which I'm not suppose to! I haven't been losing weight.. and I only have like 2 months! hahahaa.. 

well, i think i'll give up in the end. Just be myself.. don't care whether I turn out FAT in photos. haha.. YA RITE Yi Lei!

Well, I'm looking forward to some events happening in the next coming weekends! :))

Now these events are not that confusing.. hahahahaha..

Make-up artist hired!

My make-up artist came to our house last night. He was very nice. He did a free trial and wasn't expecting me to hire him on the spot! (maybe that's his trick!) :)

Anyhows, i liked his work. He didn't put a whole inch of make up on my face, which is something that i'm very particular about. And the other thing that i'm fussy about is, i don't want too much colours.

He did mention that i have very small eyes, so we need more make up to correct the "imperfection". And I also have very soft, fine & short hair. So i'll definitely need extensions on "THE DAY". sigh..

Here's a photo of me last night,

Please ignore the silly hair. He brushed it all to one side so that I can see the full make up. and also only one side of my eye has fake eye lashes. Guess which one. :P

This will be my reception do. He said that the lights are going to be dimmer during dinner, so i'll need more emphasis on my eyes. :)

I received a few comments after showing it to several people:

1) my dad: "Hey don't look like you. Look like Julia Roberts." (because of the "HUGE" smile.)

2) my mum: "Are you sure this is you??? You look so thin."

3) my colleague: "OMG, you look so different! your face look very big here. You look like a guy!"

4) my other colleague: "Hey who is this? You ar?? sure or not??"

OK OK.. once and for all, yes this is me! and yes, i have to learn how to not have such a HUGE smile. practise practise practise.. makes perfect!

and yes, i need to remind my make-up artist not to sweep all of my hair up if not i'll look like a man and a woman with such a huge square face! *think for once, i have to blame my dad for passing on the square face. :P *

Anyway, I like it. so I texted him and hired him today. :))

Ok.. One down.. the next, our wedding invites! :)
