Wedding Car Plate!
Yipee!!! I have just made an online purchase for my wedding car plate! Thanks to a dear friend whom agrees with me on purchasing this item, as most of the people I know brushes me off with a "Don't waste your money la" response! The good thing is, apart from being able to use it on our wedding car, it can be used as a deco item in future! Memories! That's what I like :) Below is a snap shot of how it looked like:-

Wedding Photographer
For the past one week, I have been surfing wedding websites, forums, googled.. in the hope of searching for the perfect wedding photographer. Of course, there are many of them, but to find a really GOOD one...and at a REASONABLE price is really not that easy. Of course, good things don't come cheap, and cheap things...hmm, normally is of no good. Hehe!
Anyway, I have managed to shortlist 4 photographers that are available on my wedding day, and is now waiting for some opinions. I think, I will have to make a decision by this week before they are taken by some other wedding couples.
I am still pondering whether to have photos taken at the studio. I know my FH would not like it as he does not like to take pictures; whatmore asking him to "model" for hours! Originally, I scrapped the idea too - as I would always prefer candid moments :). Many people asked, "If you don't take your pics at studio, what would you hang on the wall?" Well, why must it be a studio photo? It can be a candid moment too! I would personally prefer to hang such photo as it portray THAT special moment, with THAT special smile. No posing, no faking....that's what I love candid photos.
However, according to many Brides I know, it would be costly if I don't take up studio packages. Not only do I have to pay more for my wedding gown, I also have to pay more for wedding car deco, etc, etc. This has certainly set me thinking about it...
Ahh, whatever it is, studio or not, the decision to hire a photographer for the wedding day itself is a MUST. I hope to take lots of photos with my relatives, my bridesmaid, my lovely dog, etc, etc. Oh, of course, my husband too. :)
This is one of the pic that I adored most, taken by one of the photographer, and I just have to put it here at my blog, as it is really, really some work I admire!

Affairs of the heart
I read somewhere, sometime ago...that an "emotional" affair is more dangerous than "physical" affair. When it's physical, it will just involve adrenalins and driven by lust...but when it's "emotional", it involves the heart and driven by feelings...feelings of love.
I recently got to know of someone, in the verge of losing his mind...he is in a dilemma between his family and his lover. At one glance, most people will see it as an easy choice...a beautiful wife and kids, happy home...what could go wrong?!! Why must you be so cruel?
It is always easy for people to judge. It is always easy for people to give sound advice. It is always easy to tell people "do the right thing".
The truth is, it is never easy. We are never in their shoes. Well, perhaps we would like to "imagine" or "put" ourselves in their situation. But then again, the truth is, we are never "there"...nor are we "them".
But this guy I know, has a good heart. It is sad that he is in this situation. He is near to a breaking point as it seems that there is no way out for him. I am not angry with him. Nor am I pissed. I just feel sad and pity that it has reached to this stage. He claims to be in love, he claims that there is no more love for the wife. Ahh...men!
Ever wiling to give up everything to pursue the 'love' of their life. But when reality checks in, they are in a dilemma. Giving up everything? If it is as easy as it sounds, he would've done it long time ago and moved on.
But the fact that he is depressed now proves that it is not as easy. Yes, love is everything. Love is your heart and soul. But to give up everything, your career, your house, your car, your money...it is not an act of 'sacrifice', it is an act to "justify" the wrongs.
But come on, we are in the real world.
What? Start over again? It will be cool for the first 6 months...of 12 months, at least, thereafter...reality sets in. Bills, rental, new job, new friends....now, that's the real world.
When the affair involves the heart, the brain is not working. Emotions run high, the wrongs feels right and the whole world just doesn't exist anymore. There is just two of them. Real Love. Erm, isn't that the same 'rush', same feelings felt the day you say "I do"?
The world is changing. Women became more independent. Men and women work together. Travel on business trips together. Stress at work. Temptations. Seductions. Everywhere.
What kind of advice do I have for him? Well, he just have to sort out this mess himself. No one can help him but himself. I can only listen, and listen. Well, occasionally, share my thoughts. Just sharing...
Marriage? Weddings?? GOSH!!!!!!!

The "Brothers"
For the past years that I have been with my bf together, I realise that, I have not been "into" my bf's life. Many times, he asked me to join him for gatherings/meetings with his bunch of friends, I always seem to have excuses most of the times. I've been to a few, but I think - it has been quite some time since I last attended some gatherings with him.
My bf, doesn't force me to go, or sulk if I don't go....he always respect my decision, and allow me to do things I wanted to. This is why I do love him for letting me to be what I want to be, and do what I want to do. Our relationship is such that, we always try to put ourselves in each other shoes..if you think your other half is going to"suffer", don't do it. Just don't.
He asked, "One of my friend having a housewarming, u wanna go with me?"
I replied, "Erm, you want me to go wif you?"
He replied, "Yeah, I really do."
Because, he puts in the word "really do", I agree. :)
I dread it, but I agreed. This man is going to be my partner in life, I have to, I reckoned. My life will be his, and his life will be mine. For the rest of our lives. (Geez)
So I went. It was a little uneasy at first, as I was trying to fit in to this group of strangers. Everyone was surprised to see me. All of them. "Finally, it'a about time!"....they must have thought!
I tried my best to smile and be as sweet as I could be. I finished my food, laughed at their jokes, and behaved. Not hard, actually.
I would imagine myself, ten years ago....I would've kicked a fuss and asked him to take me home after 30 minutes. The best part was, I did not even ask to go back...I let him enjoy his time with his buddies.
Hmm...they said that, when you age (not that I am THAT old), you'd become a better and wiser person. And I am glad that I did. :)
On the way home, he described more of his buddies to me, that I have never ever known. If I have not gone, I would never know that these are his buddies and one whom helped him in his business. Some are more elder, the others are perhaps younger than him. There are five of them, "brothers" as they would define themselves, and my dearest bf is brother number 3. I asked him how they came up with the ranking, cuz, a 40++ year old was ranked the 4th...He too, have no idea :)
Anyway. All of them are looking forward to our wedding. It's about time, they said. Ahh...same respond I got for every person I announce our wedding date.

Being a SUGAL..
I enjoyed my life so much now. Being Single, enabled me to do stuffs that Singles does, and at the same time, I can do stuffs that Couples do! It's like having the best of both worlds! Kind of sad that is coming to an end soon...I love living with my mum. I love cuddling my dog everyday. I love my BF. I love my freedom. I love to do things my way.
The very thought of the "knot" sometimes, DO, sometimes, and I mean, only sometimes...well, okay, occassionally, wonder...if this IS the path I want to take. Is this what I want to do? Am I ready?
I always compare the length of my relationship with that of HK celebrities Tony Leung & Karina Lau. They have been together for such long time. Really. And they are STILL together. They too, will be tying the knot soon. I guess, after a million years of STILL being together, the final path to get hitched. Sometimes, it's about being fair to those around you. As much as we would like to think that we don't need to give a damn to those people around you, the truth is, we do care. We are humans after all.
And then, I know of a married couple whom, after 10 years - found out that hubby is having an affair..simply because, he has "no more love", or "no more feelings" for the wife. They say children will hold couples together...at least. But the sad truth is, when there is a change of hearts - nothing seems importance anymore. Family. Friends. Children. Not anymore..
Perhaps my BF is right. I think too much. All women does. Think, think and think. Women somehow have those pair of futuristic eyes that can "see" and "predict" the futures. Not to mention, we are really good to "see" our future - the picture perfect of a loving husband and adorable little kids. Hmmm...
This is just one of those days, that I am being attacked by the "pre-wedding" syndrom.
I still want to walk down the aisle. That's for sure. :)
Silly, Silly, Silly....
My emotions are rather silly lately. Thoughts of the unthinkable, dream about the unreachable and fantasizing about the impossible! Wah Liao eh...
Could this be a pre-wedding syndrome? Fear of the unknown....
A friend of mine told me that, she would rather do the unthinkable than ponder about "what-ifs". It is much more torturing to ponder and wonder..
I beg to be different. Stepping into the "what-ifs" might not be desirable. Sometimes, it is just best to leave it as it is - cuz, if you never stepped in - only have the "thoughts" of stepping in, you will forget about it as time goes by. But if you step in, the "what-ifs" became a reality, and it will be too late to step out again! In/Out...in? out?
Better stay AWAY!

Crush?
Interesting definition of a "crush"....It is the first stage of a romantic relationship. Well, not necessarily the first stage, but a common first stage. In other words, basically a crush is Hey, that person is cute, smart, funny, etc, I want to get to know 'em better but in combination with some sexual desire, though the sexual desire can be in the background, it still has to be there for it to be a crush rather than just wanting to get to know the person as a friend.Hmm...interesting.
I love you
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you
-Excerpt from Love by Roy Croft
Hmmmmmmmm...
