Preparation

...first copy of the card is almost there... 79 cards to go.
BUT IT LOOKS GREAT!

...first draft of the ceremony is out... many more drafts to go.
BUT IT'S SOOO EXCITING!

For those who are lucky enough... just wait and you shall see the handmade card very soon!

*Special thanks to Sang the man! What would we do without you...!!*

Lucky me

Spent the whole evening trying to come up with the perfect wording for the invitation card.. Who knew it'd be this difficult and confusing!!?!? Words such as celebration, together, life, invite, share and journey are occupying my brain completely. Nothing else can get in at the moment... Ahhh brain is jammed!!! %#^@$

But what a happy moment it is! Although we are having long distance relationship, I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything. I know he's always there for me, thanks to sms and Skype. I don't think anyone else can care for anybody else as much as Q does for me.  In the past I used to envy those who appear to be the sweet couples. I used to wonder what have they done to deserve such a reward, but... now I feel that I have to do more good deeds because I know I've used up all my luck on finding the Mr Perfect! :D

Seriously, what else can I ask for?

People say it's the timing that determines your other half not the true love. Well if this is the truth, then I'm the luckiest because the true love came at the perfect timing!

Urgent change is needed

I'm currently doing a minor orthodontic treatment on my lower incisors.
I feel it's looking great at present. Nicely aligned. But I want it even straighter. The big day is coming. It's very difficult to lose weight and become thinner. I will feel better if my teeth are looking perfect... at least!

Oh that reminds me. I have to go on the "white diet" with teeth whitening...... no coffee, tea, tomato ketchup, red wine, kimchi, black bean sauce... but say YES to cheese (yay), yoghurt, milk, cauliflowers, tofu, rice and potatoes! Man I really have to sit down and work out a proper plan. Going on "thinning diet", "white diet" and "healthy diet" are all different aren't they?

There is skin rejuvenation clinic on the 7th floor of my clinic. Apparently they are doing discounts for us. Hooray is this the sign that I should go and get my skin treated? I hear botox is good in slimming the jawline... I hate hate HATE my angles of mandible!! I push push push hard on them every night but they are still so rounded. I want it to be sharper....... should I go and have the consult?  I have a small chip of lead just underneath my left eye. Got "tatooed" when I was 7 by a friend accidently. My dad promised that he'd get it out for me when I turn 20 but it's still there. Should I zap it out with laser??

Sigh... too much to worry about. What to do what to do.  Afterall its just another day, but then... I want it to be special. I want to look pretty. I want my baby to feel proud of me on the day!!

Hair-do for the big day...

I'm still on a holiday with BBB!!

Isn't she adorable.. everyday when I wake up she's right beside me staring me with her tiny but sparkling eyes. Ho ho ho.

*****

On a special note, I have found a great hairdresser for the grand day (I think). I have a trial appointment made for tomorrow... 3pm! Slightly pricey compared to the other places but I guess I'll still go with it.. They have won the best NZ hairdresser awards for a few years... and the wedding hairdresser looks like he knows what he's doing while he was playing with my hair. Most importantly he complimented my hair saying it's very soft and well looked after! (double thumbs up!). They had their business in the middle of CBD prior to the earthquakes, hence the migration to Avonhead, one of the safest "showable" suburbs in Christchurch. I think it's ok to pay extra $10 if I can really relax on the day. Oh I wish I can be so talented in make ups and hair dos then I would've been able to save a lot of $$$$

BBB and I in the morning :)

Roses and cakes and icings!!!!

Cakes!!

This weekend has been very productive. We were running on very tight schedule yet we managed to have fun with social events with friends. Here goes one of the fun trip to one of Christchurch's finest bakeries in hunt for our Wedding cake.

We decided on one out of these five finalists! They all look amazing so we had great difficulty choosing only one... but I think are getting there.... kinda!! Ahhh recently I've been so good at changing my mind every second.... *drool drool* But inside will be all chocolate mud cake. So those of you who are invited to the grand day... can look forward to this! :) We will make sure it's big enough to feed everyone. Heeeee

dream on

What kind of a girl in the world wouldn't think like me..
I'm just one of the norm.
 I am looking forward to the perfect day of the 5th of November.
Whenever I have time, I sit in front of my computer,
looking for the musics to play,
looking for the photos to display,
also, I must admit that websurfing is so useful, in brain storming some ideas..

There are so much more things that has to be decided
so much things to buy,
so much things that has to be paid,
on top of all these, there are heaps of things to consider, and hence the stress,

Regardless of all these,
I'm happy.
The life I'm having right now.. will be ending in 8 months (to be exact!) and will never come back,
thus I must use this time wisely..! By having some more fun?!?!?!? :p

This is not the happiest state I will be.
I know I will be happier... and happier... with no end to it! Yippii

Make Up - part i

My step by step make up "study session" has began. How often do you see a 25+yo female (just realised "25+yo" and "girl" do not go well together) who doesn't know how to put on a beautiful make up? Did I mention that she's a Korean??!?!!? Pretty useless...

Due to the urgent need for the proper make up, I've been investigating the ways of putting make up on. So far I've only tried and learnt the basics; foundation, concealer, cheek blushers, eyeliners and mascara. Does this look good enough? Well obviously not! Further study is needed.....

***************************

On the other note, time to say byebye to Millenium...! I was quite looking forward to that place but guess things have to be changed. I am quite sad that the beautiful garden city will never look exactly the way it used to be. Hmmm. Q will be hunting for the lovely venue again this weekend so it's something to look forward to!

Hmmm. There is a display of LV bags on the reception of Millenium. I wonder if it can be looted............. hmmmmmmmmm

Beautiful things in life

 Formal posy bouquet of David Austin roses (English roses), lisianthus and Dusty Miller 

Posy bouquet of coral and pink carnations, sweet pea and rose 

Posy bouquet of roses and early cheers

Wired trailing bouquet of roses, freesias and Singapore orchids 

 Formal posy bouquet of white roses and lisianthus

Aren't they just gorgeous?? I wish I had many hands so I can have all of them at the same time. Eeee actually that'd be freaky. Or only if I could get my hands on the time machine that can backward the time... I will do it many many times with different bouquets.... if not... what about every anniversary.....??? LOL ok I shall stop here or else somebody will become hypertensive..... :p By the end of websurfing I will be the master in the colour match and naming all the different flowers....!
