Wedding Planning #3

I think I am a pretty chill bride. Well, at least up till this point. My fiance is also a pretty chill groom. We have yet to do our slideshow (surprise surprise) but we have already informed most of our helpers and got them to start working on their task.

I have yet to talk to my chief decorator T_T so my final colour theme is not specified yet although I am going for gold, champagne and maybe blush pink. I was looking at gold, champagne and a little pastel green/turquoise/mint (which I loveeeee) but according to my friend cum decorator, our church has red chair. So that combination does not go well with the chair. So I had to resort to blush pink to at least blend in with the chair. Sads.

So colour will be something like that but with lighter pink. I am still unsure about the colour though cause I really like turquoise or mint. Will need to meet my friend before I can do anything so it is driving me crazy a little that she is so busy. T_T

Apart from that, we have set the date for pre-wedding shoot. A lot of people are doing it 6 months before their wedding but we are only doing it 4 months before the wedding. Too positive thinking? Risk taker much?

Basically what we have done as of today are (not according to order):-
1.booked venue
2. booked pre-wedding and set dates
3. booked AD photographer
4. booked AD make up artiste for family
5. decided on caterer for some light refreshments
6. taken Save The Dates photos
7. invited friends via FB
8. asked friends if they are able to help us
9. exercise and try to lose weight for the big day
10. booked our ROM dates
11. attend some marriage counselling
12. set dates to do our nursery duty
13. recruit our bridesmaids and groomsmen
14. designed and ordered our wedding band (the rings)
15. recruit our flower girls
16. find some friends to sing some songs
17. find our MC



We have not:-
1. went for ANY wedding dress fitting
2. decided on the songs we want
3. done the slideshow
4. decided on what passage for our sermon
5. decided on the worship songs
6. planned out the flow of the morning reception
7. planned out the flow of the night reception
8. chosen or printed our wedding invitation card
9. taken our pre-wedding photos
10. done our guest lists
11. done our food testing
12. bought shoes for the wedding
13. planned the colour theme or decor
14. found a place to move into

OK! I'm going to stop here cause if I continue, I will get anxiety attack again. T_T Need to start cancelling things out of our list! Tomorrow I'm going to sit down with my fiance and write down what we have not done and then work on it one by one.

One step at a time huh? Planning a wedding is not easy. Planning a wedding under a tight budget is even harder. But am glad my fiance is someone who takes initiative. Only occasionally I need to give him a light nudge and he will be moving. PHEW. So.....that's all for my wedding planning updates. Will need this to remind myself of this experience. =)

5++ more months to go. Seems like we really need to start moving. =P

Him: Really meh?

Pre-planned surprise or forced-plan surprise?

Reposting this from Facebook.

My favourite past time? Trapping the boyfriend to surprise me..How?

Me: Bii..you sure planning something in secret already!!! I am so excited!!!

Him: *looking puzzled* Huh? What?

Me: gai lo..act dumb some more.. I am so excited!!!!

Him: now I have to plan a surprise T.T

And he kept saying, You always like that one. You simply talk one!! And I kept ignoring him and say that I am excited. Poor boyfie.

Work is piling up so I am attending to them one by one tho I really should work faster. =x

Little things that makes me smile

When you allow people to use your laptop to read his sports updates while you study.

Yep, one cheesy cheeky boy there. =)


****found this hidden somewhere in my old blog when I decided to import all my old post here****

I love

1. beautiful flowers like these

Snapped these in Bali. Bali is really a beautiful place. You can have hot, sunny beach at one end, and cool, breezy mountain tops and gardens like this on another. I am a more mountainy cool kinda person. Beach with thousands of tourist doesn't excite me much. But flowers, animals, sceneries gimme moar!!!!


2. gorgeous clothes

3. Kitchens

Like ANY kitchen decors I am looking at kitchens, pantries, library and all although I really cannot afford even to rent a proper house now!

We dream BIG aight?

I'm gonna go to bed now. Will update again SOON!

Practicality vs Romance

The boyfriend and I liked to joke about how we would response to a certain situation or remarks made by one another 3 years ago and how we would response to it now. We started aboutt 3 years ago, not quite yet. But we always felt like we have been together forever..

So two days ago, we had this conversation while I helped him to put on his bedsheet.

Me: Bii, you know why I am putting your bedsheet for you?

Him: hmmmm...Because you want to sleep on it?

Me: Correct!!! 3 years ago you would have said because I love you hahaha

It's amazing how much we know each other hahaha cause I am very cheeky so it is more likely that my answer is the practical one instead of the romantic one. Just to tease him.

But honestly, he is right. I was feeling ûnder the weather and needed a place to sleep but he removed his bedsheet to wash and left the new one on the bed. I HAD to change it.

Secretly a tigress

Candy Crush Talk
Me: Eh, why you never send me request to give you ticket? (on our usual Candy Crush talk)

Boyfriend: I scared you will scold me and be unhappy (clearly cause he has passed the level that I was stucked in, passed it last night before I go to bed).

Me: I got so fierce meh? Send la!!

Boyfriend: It's okay, I sent to many people already.

Three days later, still refuse to send to me. So I went to his Candy Crush app and noticed that he is already in level 68, 3 levels after getting the ticket. Walao!! Dare not tell me that he got the ticket and moved on. -.-" I got so fierce meh?


Go to sleep
Me: You better finish your work before you sleep tonight. Tomorrow some more want to go out with friends. (payback for always nagging me)

Boyfriend: Ok =(

a little past 12am.

Me: Eh so late already, still don't want to sleep?

Boyfriend: *yawn* I haven't finish my work. You say cannot sleep before I finish.

Me: -.-" Since when so obedient? Fine! Finish up your work! Else when you can't finish, you'll throw tantrum on me.

Boyfriend: Ok. =( *silently do his work*

30 minutes later.

Me: Eh, still don't want to sleep meh? (I KNOW I DAMN ANNOYING)

Boyfriend: You say cannot. =(

Me: Aiya, go sleep la, tomorrow wake up earlier to continue.

Boyfriend: OK! =) *shut down computer and hopped to bed*


Excuse me hor, I got so fierce meh? Maybe I am! *proud*

2013 Resolution in Action

One of it only. Which is to exercise and lose some weight. With CNY coming soon, I kind of need that quick.

Mad love the boyfriend cause I've been very lazy. He'll think of a fun activity and even offers to do it with me but after one two weeks, I'll stop and he'll stop persuading. But then few weeks later, he'll think of something else and get me to do with him. It's really done out of love. Who would persistently try his best to find one that will suit you despite knowing that it's really just laziness?

Now my whole body aches from yesterday's workout. He is in the next room, snapping pictures for Dsparkles.

Check us out at www.facebook.com/dsparkles12

or shop with us at www.dsparkles.com

or follow us on instagram at www.instagram.com/dsparkles12

After all these is over, I'll spend a month or two doing what I'm passionate about, blogging, cooking, baking and maybe turn my life around and dress up a bit more.

And also, rekindle my relationship with Him.

A letter on Friday

I've been reading a few blogs (read : here, too lazy to find another example) and I noticed that they usually write like a letter of gratitude or something, whether to people or things to sum up their weekdays before stepping into weekends and I find that an awesome idea so I am going to write mine too, to show gratitude and give thanks to God for all He has done the whole week.

The boyfie
Thank you for enduring my mood swings and frequent break downs. My 'what ifs' and whining. My late start of the morning and laziness. For pushing me to get my things done although I don't usually show my gratitude to that. For supporting me in whatever I do and telling me that I am so much better and that I can do everything I set out to do.

The fam
Thank you for always helping me to get my things done (read: secret) and making my weekends more colourful. Thank you for being weekend escapade and supporting me in all I do. Thank you for bringing laughter into my life and for sponsoring me all the time. <3

The gram
Thank you for the good recipes that you passed down. Your granddaughter can cook a few dishes too! Thank you for being so cute and funny without knowing it. Thank you for folding all the clothes so nicely but I failed to master that skill yet.

The girls
Why our Marshall's burger date tak jadi? Make it work alright? Will probably head down and try them this weekend if the boyfie is up for it. Miss you girls. Thank you for all the crazy things we do and all the crazy things we will do in future to come.

Dissertation topic
Y U NO COME UP WITH IT YOURSELF? It's not easy and I am trying (or maybe I'm not). I will do it. Soon! Soon!

The Valentine's Day

It's my first and probably the best ever!!!

The boyfriend did this. Lantern all over, handmade flowers. I'm loved.

 Whee lanterns.

 More lanterns before the candle finished or they started to burn off.

 Some successful shots with the lanterns though it was dark.

 This is when the lanterns started to burn off and there's no flash.

 Then with flash.

 My cute boy.

 Poor boy, have to clean up after that some more. Hard at work.

 Handmade flowers. <3

I am poser.

So this is what he did. He fetched me from Fajar since I thought he had cg till late and I was half-drenched from the rain earlier. So he drove like mad without stepping on the brake. I was shocked and I didn't know where we were going. Then he led me to some place which I don't know but it was scary with wet grasses. Then I saw that, that little place all lit up with these lanterns and I melted. I am loved, well-loved. =) And I am happy.

That boy has been running around all night trying to pull that together and it was raining but it stopped and he made it. He has to be the sweetest guy I've ever met and he's mine.
And nah, tonnes of useless photos of me just because I like it. Can't wait to go camwhore at some beautiful place with that flowers he made. Flowers that wil not wither.

These babies melted my heart

In a very different way Daniel Chong Voon Chuen, don't sulk there.

I have never been a big fan for dogs, puppies yes. And I'm still scared of huge dogs. These babies in my cousin's house melted my heart over the Chinese New Year.

Happy happily in my arms and Lucky stood by. Pups are so smart, they look into the camera.

It's clear I was totally hooked on Happy.

Lucky acting selamba at the side.

Forcing Happy to camwhore with me to which I failed cause Happy wasn't looking at the camera, neither was I since I was practically cut out of the picture.

Happy iz shy.

But I wasn't. T_T Shameless

I want Happy!!!

How not to love these pretty pups here? I want a puppy too...Or a hamster. I don't care!

Another sem gone by

This has to be  the most interesting one throughout my 3 years of uni and it ends so quickly.

First time I finish my exam in the first week with only two papers to battle my life for. People are giving me the i-kill-u look but, but, but...I suffered 2 years already, doesn't that count for anything at all? =P

I've been shaking legs and running around for the past week. Time to slow down my life for a few days before running around again chasing kids in VBS. I find life so fulfilling when I can do things for God, share His love with people around me.

Did a personality test and boy was it accurate. I'm both crazy and emo. SO TRUE. I'm not lazy though, what a relief. =P

Life is getting more and more exciting and the boy has met the parents and close friends and was accepted. Also cause they love me la. And he was a great boy to begin with. Meeting his family later and I'm really not a very good girl so it's going to be tough. =) But he is there to assure me that it'll be ok. <3 No fear.

Of us

 Us and chick bii

There, finally can post up.

Finger-numbing cold

in the library.

On days like this, it'll be nice to have someone to warm your hands.

=)

THAT Day

With a non-existent movie date excuse, I was brought up to the highest carpark level in QB, supposedly overlooking beautifully lit up Penang bridge which was unfortunately half-hidden by tall apartments. Saw firework. Yep, no 's' as there's ONLY one. No stars on a cloudy, windy night.

He began his speech, I began to look everywhere else but at him. He then explain that there'll be NO MOVIE and he has something important to ask me.

So he did. And I said, yes.

=) This is the account of THAT day. The date was 7/11/2010, the time was somewhere between 10.40pm to 11pm.

ps: Time adjusted to have my post on THAT day. It is really 1.49am of 8/11/2010 now and I am sleepy.

Chick Bii

Have like mad obsession for chickens ever since my friend created a story about chicken cuddling together early in the morning cause of cold and also a chicken that pokes.

Don't you think it's super adorable? And my friend drew this on MSN chatbox okay? Super talented. I can barely draw a proper smiley face. Fail.com Anyways, after I saw Diana got her Miku, I wanted it so bad cause it's cute!!!! I call it Chick Bii, cause it's a confused chicken in bee outfit. Although S&J label it as a duck, IT'S A CHICKEN TO ME.

 Hai, I iz Chick Bii.

Squeezing Chick Bii's face. =)

 Chick Bii's first meal, Secret Recipe's Raspberry Yogurt Cheese or something. Super bahagia.

 More camwhore pic with my Chick Bii.

Berbonding with Chick Bii. =) My Chick Bii is so super duper cute.

Chick Bii at his first Jazz Band concert. Super bahagia la. Got cheesecake, Jazz Band concert all. Nonsense.

That's the end of my Chick Bii's first day out. =) By the way, I sent Chick Bii to his nanny. Staying with the nanny. If you spot him around somewhere, he's with THE nanny. =P
