Thought it is too packed..shldnt have planned the wedding banquet so close to LNY. But then again...maybe i gained the extra time off to manage and organise abit of the event. And also it facilitates relatives from overseas to stay for both LNY as well as the wedding. Seems like we dont have much choice even if we were given a second chance to choose.
Have always wanted to document experience more often but no chance too, either too slpy, too lazy, too busy or just no motivation to blog. Recently not sure if it is due to info overload, cant recall many things quite frequently and also lacks the enthusiasm to do anything. I had to keep psycho-ing myself, muttering "i luv the world" and "i luv life". I shld be grateful and yes for sure i am, to so many who offer encouragement, help and jokes to keep my spirit up. They are more excited than me, more look forward to the wedding celebration, great energy. I wish i have that. Actually no worse off since i didnt want the banquet all along as i knew that it would be a chore and indeed it is...and now im living thru it, kudos to myself.
2 feb, got the key to the house, listed the first 39 defects to be rectified. PUB cant turn on our elect and water yet, so if all goes well after the turn on, then no second list lor. Next, wait for contractors to do their job.
Went to the wedding boutique to see the photo layout, yea not wow. So -so. Definitely reinforcing the idea that it isnt worth it. Suan le, dun wish to criticise it further. Anyway i got abit irritated at the shop. We are supposed to review the layout ma, free to comment, and they will change accordingly but if we want to change again then is chargeable...thats alr in the contract and we alr acknowledge it. She jus had to emphasize it. N nvm leh, she keep resisting even for the first change. Keep saying it is nice and i alr mentioned i trust ur professional views but nice or not is subjective. Can we have it our way? Basically we jus take 2 photos out of the 5 or 6 photos into a new page. Whats wrong...really v small wat..why mus squeeze all tog? Really leh...if i nv show displeasure, she thinks we will jus listen to her and make do with it. Too bad, im alr not happy with the costly albums and she still want to have it her way. No chance. Then she wants us to go another place to view on bigger screen...not helping and nothing will change. I still insist for the photos to be separated to a new page. Anyway she hands us over to the original salesperson. I mus sing praises for the sales' PR skills seriously. She can handle pple well. The difference is she gives options but recommends one with supporting reasons. Then we learnt that the previous lady is one of the mgmt pple. The salesperson covered her by saying she is jus protecting her staff's work. Okay...ya but anyway she shld stay as mgmt then, dun attempt to serve customers. Cmi.
13 feb, went to meet don, the hotel mgr for finalisation of the list such as the themes, favours, table linen colour, layout etc.
14 feb, keep forgeting it is v day. Tks all who wish and reminded me then. Anyway we went to choose the hand bouquet and also collected the photo albums. So heavy...
15 feb, finally also accompanied both mums to get their dresses or rather cheong sums. I got a shock when they say they come again...i was like 2 more sundays leh...3 wks...jus buy la...no time liao. Then went to this wedding shop and my mum insisted to be another cai tao to kenna chop for the pack of pails and spittoons and pjs and slippers and tons of others for dunno wat....anyway i tell her, she want to buy she settle ah, she give instructions n i jus follow dont come and ask me wat to do with all these, i refuse to google and not interested to research...so troublesome....why mus blindly follow? Like dun even know the significance of each tradition. Anyway i try to keep quiet liao...she does what she wants as long as dun come and kajiao me can le.
Pple are really too fixed with traditions or the norm...having a hard time responding to all the huhhhhhs. Aiya...this one cannot that one cannot..who is getting married now sia. Somemore they cant even tell me a reason why must follow. Why why? The whole world is so rigid..."it's like that one" is not an answer at all.....torturous.....cant i even do the things i dun detest....unfortunately there are many traditions i detest. Like those neutral one i will jus do la...wont die...those detest or loathe ones can jus let me be...once in a lifetime as u said, why mus i follow? No march in will die meh? And many others which i prolly will doc it after wedding. Im jus looking forward to my iceland trip...even iceland also want to comment got things to see meh...luckily im too used to turning on deaf ears. Everyone shld have some pr skills like oh tell me wats there when u come back! Like dun nid to pour cold water on me ma. Aiya maybe im a culprit myself sometimes, when one has an opinion, too quick to give views. Yea yea nothing to see. it is ok, u arent gg ma..i am gg. Dotzzzz...
Signing off
Disgruntled bride to be..
Really shldnt be so sulky...and i always know the process isnt fun, nothing new, jus live thru it, jus another stage in life. Im making the best out of it
