Our Wedding Dash

The wedding day passed in a blur. The past 1 and a half year, we had been so busy preparing for this one day. Choosing our flat, choosing our bed, choosing the bridal company for our photoshoot, choosing our actual day bridal company for our gowns and suits, choosing the venue for our wedding, choosing our makeup artist, choosing our photographer and videographer, choosing our food, choosing the event company to work with for our wedding deco etc etc. So many choices were made and so much money was spent, just for this one day. lolx. In the end, the wedding of less than 24 hours, chalked up a bill of more than 25K, and I inherited a pair of new parents, a new sister and a future brother-in-law, oh and not forgetting a husband. keke...

3 weeks into the marriage, I'm feeling blessed and blissful. My parents-in-law are very nice people who treats me really well, and I enjoy staying in this new home and room. I get to have more space for new shoes, and I even bought my new earring hangar! Every mon and fri, I'll still go back to my parents' home for dinner and stayover once each week. Every sun, melvin and I, my two brothers and his girlfriend, and melvin's sister will also go to Bedok Reservoir for dragon-boating. Keke.. And I still get to enjoy my mala steamboat almost every 3 weeks once. Ain't I lucky? ^_^

Anyway, we got our raw wedding photos for the day and will blog on it as soon as I'm free. Yepx, which may be another few weeks. Oei! I got to pretend to be the good wife and clean the house, wash the clothes and still work k... Blahx.

We are MARRIED!

Finally our big day's over and future's beginning. The past few months of preparation for our one big day had been tremendous and exhausting. It's all thanks to our family, 'jiemeis', 'brothers' that we're able to pull it through. Now we're in Malaysia, relaxing away~~ Thanks to everyone for attending our wedding and especially to those who had helped out so much!

Will blog more when we're back! ^_^

Exactly 21 more days!

Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!!! It's just 21 more days before my wedding!!! Feeling damn nervous now. Went for my trial make up on saturday noon with Liren. Prob I'm having pre-marriage anxieties ba. Can't sleep much lately, always tensed, and easily paranoid. Really felt that the makeup she did for me was super ugly... I tot my eyes look swollen, eye brows too long and hideous, skin looks bad and the blusher was like so strong that I look like a monkey's ass. Didn't help much that I brought my brother with me for the trial rather than the forever supportive Melvin. My bro just said I look like an apple and make up is 'ok lo'. Hahahaha.... I told Melvin how ugly I thought my make up was, and he almost immediately went to orchard to find me after his work. Funny. He said it's not bad. In my mind I just thought he didn't want me to be upset so said it was not bad. Then I met my gal friends for hen's night, and they said it was nice too. But.... you never know right?? Maybe they dun wanna hurt my feelings by saying it's ugly seeing that I paid $1K for Liren. Regardless, I was so upset, I can't sleep well for the past nights thinking that my make up was hideous, and how I would not wanna see anyone on my wedding night. Ya. Ridiculous. How to not see anyone?

Anyway, got the pics from wanlin yesterday and thought, ok la. I looked more human in her pics. Dun care le. Think everything will go smoothly that day and I'm just being super paranoid now. But it still doesn't change the fact that the trial make up sucks! Blahx. Liren's portfolio looked so much better la. I miss Cherry (my taiwan make up artist).. sighx..

Living each moment to its fullest

I just completed a grief and bereavement course last week. It opened my eyes to a different part of the world. I knew how life could be sad for some people and mishaps may happen anytime unbeknownst to the people involved. It was just that we don't meet many of those people and it seemed pretty rare for such things to occur. When they do happen, we would feel sad and question why such things happen, and at times, wonder if it would happen to us too. After several days, we would slowly forget about it and continue our lives as it is.

Working at a hospital gave me the opportunity to see how frail life could be, and how devastating some losses could bring to their loved ones. Attending the course with staff who are directly involved with saving the lives of others and facing deaths everyday brought reality to me. Everyone will die one day, and we never know when it would be our turn. We could be well today and gone the next. So it's good for us to start preparing now, by truly living.

"We are always getting ready to live but never living."

" Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life."

New Loves~

If you think I'm becoming all sappy just coz I attended the Grief and Bereavement course and deal with negativity everyday, think again! Hehe... Life is short, and so, we must live each day to its fullest. Found a new love in Kate Spade during my date with Melvin on Sunday~ Found these two bags (which I think looks fabulous) on the official Kate Spade website.

Happiness

Humans are greedy. When you have nothing, you wish you could just have some and you would be happy. When you have some, you wish you could have more. What makes a person happy?

In the past, I thought.. I'll be happy if I could have a loved one. When I have a loved one, I thought.. I'll be happy if I could marry him soon. When I was engaged, with a flat to our names, and the marriage nearing, why am I still not happy?

I thought.. I'll be happy when I have more money. When I started working, I thought.. I'll be happy with pay every month with something I enjoy. Then, I thought.. I'll be happy if I have more income and time. When I had more, I still don't feel happy nor satisfied. I want more. What makes a person happy?

Sometimes really wonder, what's the meaning of life? What are we searching and working for? Is happiness such a difficult goal to achieve? Or is it not a goal at all?
