2nd January 2009


It is this friday!!!!!


I totally love the last 2 weeks of 2008. non stop public holidays! It feels like we are permanent vacationers and working part time!!


Though 2nd Jan is JUST a registration of marriage. yes. IT iS ONLY registration. Though we're married legally, our parents do not see us as married couple, because we haven't gone through the chinese tea ceremony yet! Sometimes i think it's quite ridiculous. However, i wonder am i gonna treat my kids the same in the future!


I'm excited about this Friday! I have my white lil' dress, with ... well i don't have the perfect shoes yet...


I've dyed my hair to natural colour now, so i don't have super 'blonde' hair anymore. I've made appointment for manicure tomorrow. Though i have the tools to do it myself, i decided to pamper myself a lil bit more


I have never thought of holding a bouquet of flowers, because.. it is only signing of papers, to be married in the eyes of the law.. BUT! , S.A my sister in law, asked me the other night, what about flowers and corsages, she said she can help me with the corsages! so.. me and mervin decided to make the bouquet ourselves!


GOOGLE-d. And the internet make it so simple to DIY wedding bouquet. I thought of orchids, but orchids means alot of work, i'm guessing the orchid's stem is probably not as tough as roses, so we have to add and twist and bend the floral wire to each orchid's stem. So.. since it's supposed to be a DIY simple bouquet. (simple to the brain too).. I'm gonna go with roses. Gonna ask the florist if they can remove all the thorns for me.


I've bought the satin ribbons and the lil' pins! all set and excited to make my own bouquet! I hope it turns out well, if not, i'll just hold one stalk of rose that day. :P




i'll try to make something like this.. kekeke!

Bacherlorette party / Hen party / Hen night but i want 3days2night trip

I don't really wanna get high and drunk on my hen's night and puke and drag myself to the toilet and just puke again.. praying to the toilet bowl is not how i imagine to celebrate my night with the gals.




I hate to admit this but clubbing nights are no longer fun for some reason. I used to love going to clubs, dance the night away. But now, i complain about my legs tired, my back hurts and wonder how i could stand/dance in clubs till the wee hours of the morning!




So i wanna plan for shopping in Bangkok with the gals or lazing at the beach, perhentian sounds good?




It's so hard to decide, we LOVE shopping.. and IT IS shopping in Bangkok, the hot humid CHATUCHAK, the CHEAP wholesale PRATUNAM market, the yummy thai food.. the stew pork rice, the yummy hot spicy tomyam, the KAU MAN GAI (chicken rice)..




BUT..




PERHENTIAN.. is SO NICE too. The sunny beach, the sound of the ocean, the vibrant nemo swimming, BUT.. it'll be wrong for me to go diving, while my friends go snorkelling right? But it's so hard not to go diving, since i'm already there at one the most beautiful beaches in Malaysia...




and besides, i can't tan myself, i don't wanna be a burnt bride! :P so does that mean i have to pour tons of sun block? But that means i will pollute the sea and kill the fishies! -_-




Its so clear that I AM so TORN apart.




I need my gal friends to help me decide.

i love the way we make each other laugh

is there a right time in your life to get married? the ideal age? how many years should you go out with your bf/gf before you pop the question? before moving on to the next stage. how many years do you think you need to know each other before saying, i know she/he is the one!


I've asked a few friends and some of them said 2 years paktor before he proposed, and 1 year planning, so 3 years in total before they are husband and wife, shortest 1 month after he met her, he pop the question, love at first sight it seems. some 6 months paktor then they got married, some they paktor for many years and they never thought about marriage till the day she finds a positive result on her pregnancy test.


Merv and I however, 6 years paktor before he asked me to marry him. I ask mervin, do you know you wanna marry me during our 2nd year courtship. (he answers, no) Well, I never thought about marriage at that time either! Honestly, I've always thought i'll get married approximately at the age of 30!


Last time, when people tell me they were planning to get married, i ask, how do you know she's the one, or are you sure, only 2 years together, or 1 1/2 years together??? serious?? haha.. and all of them answered the same thing.. 'i just know it' and 'we've been through enough to know what we want in life and i've found the person'


Wah like some lines they stole from a romantic movie.


Anyway, i've always been really sceptical about marriage, like there's so many broken marriages out there. So there's no such thing as happily ever after? We see our parents get on each other's nerve, they nag, they yell, they get so annoyed at each other. and We wonder, are we going to be like that in 30 years time? It's just so sad. Why get married then? Just to have kids, so they can tell you 'i hate you'?


I believe, our parents generation didn't paktor enough. :)


They were forced into marriage? Ok, forced maybe too strong word. But maybe their parents were like, who is this boy? You smile at him ah? Is he going to propose to you? Ask his parents come see me, and we table talk?! haha..


then, they get married, and then 9 months later, here comes the baby, and the next baby and the next baby.. and the folks work... they work and they work.. to support the family and the kids, and their kids education and everything else that needs to be paid.. the folks just concentrated on the money and to provide for the children.


Then one day, the children all gets married and leave the nest, and thats when, THE PARENTS get to know one another! and they will say.. IF I KNOW YOU ARE LIKE THAT bla bla.... etc etc.. I will not marry you... and some folks can't stand each other, sleep separate room/ stay separate house/ maybe, just maybe they get a divorce. (just observe, just take a moment to really 'notice' your parents, ponder on what you see. if you see love, you're so lucky. But I've seen many parents and i see the distant, noticed the petty fights etc. This little exercise is to prove my theory or rather learning experience right!)


So sad right? And you may ask me, then why are you getting married? Because ... i'm in love? head over heels? ... Because... i'm ready for the next stage, i'm ready to face the challenges of a happy marriage life. It needs lotsa effort, not from one side, but both husband and wife. We need to encourage, compliment, support, laugh, cry, (the list goes on) .... together-gether..


Merv thinks the key to a happily ever after marriage, is to make each other laugh. Because as all would say, laughter is the best medicine.


I think he is SO, right. :)





this is how i make us laugh (being silly)

Back to something related to my wedding preparations.. :)

I am EXCITED and NERVOUS about 2nd january (the day i am legally married to Mr Soon - OMG), many many months ago, i bought myself a cute lil' white dress, I bought it without having any functions to attend, I bought it because it was nice, i look nice in it, and i told myself, aiyah, buy only lah, the day when i need a dress, i have to go out searching and might not find a nice dress! (good excuse for us gals, to shop for no reason right??)


Now i just need a pair of cute lil heels to go with my cute lil' dress. :)


PM says she'll stay over my house, and help me out with my make up. hee hee!


My hair is now so boring, i can't cut it cos am leaving my hair long for my big day, hopefully it grows really really long.. (yeah rite).. I told mervin he should have told me earlier, that he wanna marry me. haha.. so i wouldn't have leave my hair long, longlonglong time ago!


Back to my hair... its so so boring, and my roots are showing, so ugly... i decided to make an appointment and go dye it! maybe this Sat.


Oh you know, i'm not only preparing my hair for Jan 2, but I've bought myself a hair mask, so it will grow super nice like a sunsilk/pantene ad gal! :) .. then maybe i can twirl around for the camera man. muahaha..


Besides me, and myself...


We have decided to have a luncheon at Nanking Court! :) instead of Shangri-La. it's gonna cost us a bomb if we gonna have it in Shang for so many of us.


Have been thinking to myself, if we really need to hire a pro-photographer for the registration day.. (haven't decided yet)


You see, just for the registration day, My head also almost cracked into half ady. hahaha..


Honestly, i'm quite panicky, that i haven't been doing anything! I thought preparing for a wedding has lotsa of things to do.. but am so ........ lepak........


actually, am still looking for a good make up artist that will make me superdropdeadgorgeous on my BIG Day.
