Just nonsense...

early leave -- rejected
more leave -- rejected

what's next?

Next post coming up: My an chuang day and new bed...

As much as I wan everyone to be happie during the wedding preparation, I myself is hurt. The disadvantage I had is I do not have a mother to be with me throughout my wedding preparation. I feel very alone, very tired, and very very very very helpless..

Today, I'm not happie, and I cried. I miss my mother terribly at this moment. If she is around with me, I will feel safer. At least, I feel safer, not like now.. I'm all alone.

I want wedding preparation to be a happie one... no quarrels, no arguments, no conflicts..

I am really not happie, but I have to act to be happie....

mother, i miss you.... terribly...

Bought my pyjamas at Lasenza yesterday

Finally bought my Pyjamas at LAsenza yesterday at VIvo... after that saw Joanne (one of my jie meis) at Tangs... she told me that she is sourcing for a guy's underwear.... and further probing.. she bo bian tell me that this involves my gate crashing..... haahaa.....

Today I will be doing an chuang... the days are drawing nearer... really no mood to work now... but yet I would have to finish all my pending work before I go off for my wedding leave...

My Guo Da Li (03-Jan-09 prep and 04-Jan-2009 actual day)

Phew! Finally my Guo Da Li is over....

Below are some pics of my prep for Guo Da Li and actual day scene... Actual Day no much photos taken, because 98% is video down... will select some scene for my video montage on my Wedding dinner... those who are attending my Wedding Dinner, have "yan fu" le... because I'm the director on that day... haha... will post up the video clip in you tube after my wedding dinner..

03-Jan-09 (Sat)... prep for guo da li the next day...

(at Hubby's parents house)

the 12 cans of pig leg...

Hubby preparing ang pow for the ceremony... They say must put one ang pow in each compartment, to show to the bride's family that if the groom miss out something to send over, the money in the ang pow will act as a compensation.... something like this la...

The "bing tang" and the "biscuit"

All the items are pack in bags of 2. This is to allow popo to return 50% of whatever Hubby send over easily...

2 bottles of Martell. This is put at the most bottom of the "guo da li" basket.

with one ang pow acting as "compensation"

the "mian xian".... everything that goes over to popo house must be paste with the "xi xi" sticker

Oranges waiting eagerly to go into the basket with the "BIG ANG POW"

and here it goes.... the "lead" of the actual day.... the big ang pow!

Finally done after a few "hoo ha"

After the "packing" of the guo da li items, hubby and father in law sit down and do some final arrangment of dinner seating plan. This is forever the biggest headache in wedding planning. We are expecting another change 5 days before our wedding...

Mother in law looking curiously...

Finally the Guo Da Li Day!!! (04-Jan-09)

We arrives at Hubby parent's house at 8.30am (We are supposed to arrive at popo house at 8.30am... haha...)

Final check through and tydying up...

Ready!

I cannot remember what Hubby is trying to pass to me....

My revised wedding cakes....




We had decided to change our Wedding Cakes at the VERY VERY VERY last minutes because father in law suggested a cake shop to us who knws very well about a traditional chinese wedding.. We seek alot of advises on Guo Da Li there and Hubby parents decided to get the cakes from this cake shop. They comes with a set of those basket and items for Guo Da Li.. Another one stop shop..... I had called Choz to cancel the cakes previously ordered, UNWILLINGLy... but it's ok... I just wan everyone to be happie in our Wedding Preparation... No quarrels... Only give and take...

After the guo da li, we went to many of our relatives house to give out the cakes....my da gu, my da jiu ma etc.... When we ended up at our Da Jiu Ma house, she decided to give us one of her artpiece (a DIY painting...) I will post this painting up when i got it from her...

After that, we went to meet up our Emcees at Chinatown point Swenson for a round up of what they are supposed to do on tat day. We decided to make a special entrance for our emcees that day... Please be there if you had received our invitation card. Something simple, yet different...

I love the process of my wedding preparation... but I am really tired....

ok.. dats all for today... still haven't get my ang pow box...

Purchase from THE CENTRAL #03-03A

Went to the Central after dinner with my hubby on 31-Dec-08. We had dinner at TB plaza before we proceed down to the THE CENTRAL for shopping... he looks tired, but i just dun bother... haha... (I'm on half day, and he's not!) I get to know about this shop from a web page (Cannot remember which website already) and I'm extrememly eager to see what is there for me to buy.. The guy in tis shop is extrememly helpful and courteous.. I have a great time there looking around for my wedding accessories... The shop is small though, but quite complete with Wedding items.. I bought the following things as additions to our wedding preparation...

Our car bears ($29.90 per pair)






Adjustable car bears...

My "ang pow" box bear ($14.90 per pair)


My Signature book pen.. ($9.90 per pc)

My next step is to make my own "ang pow" box... my boss ask me to do with it with a plastic bag.. :(

Probably will be buying a small gift box and sits the mini bears on it... that should be fine i guess.. still trying to figure out how to go about doing it...

Last 2 weeks.. tomorrow going to ah ma house to finalise on the guo da li this Sunday. After that will be meeting my Emceesss on the same day at Chinatown point.. Drawing nearer and nearer.. facial not done, medi and pedi not done, dentist not visited, and massage not done!!
