There are many reasons why brides choses DIYs. From wedding favours to invites, to decor...to everything you can ever imagine. Apart from budget friendly, DIYs offers the "personal" touch and endless creativity!
I have planned many DIYs for my own wedding. So many until my jee-muis and almost everyone I know started to worry about! "You haven't started?", "No Idea Yet?", "Do you have enuff time?", "Have you planned who does what?"....Hah...everyone around me seems to be worried! As for me, no sweat! If not enough time, there's always Plan B....that is...BUY! :P
Well..my target is to complete the wedding invites by end of this month, as well as the bridesmaid wrist corsage. I have already bought the items, just need to put the ideas together and then post it online, and ask for opinions! The best will be selected :)
For the wrist corsage, I bought these beautiful roses from SSF...will pair it with some smaller flowers, etc, etc...once I have the whole thing done up, will post it up!
Butterfly IS my wedding theme. It is either Lavender or Pink. Hmmm. Cant decide yet.
I stumbled upon this amazing video on how to make a butterfly origami. It is step by step instruction, very clear and precise. Have I tried it? Well..I watched it many times...but no, have not tried yet. I have decided to post the link here, so that those interested, can watch and learn how to do it. Ahem, especially to those dearest jee-muis reading this blog! Hehe...this could be one of the very first task to be assigned. It can be used to decorate the venue, or used as an add-on to my wedding invites...or, favours...or, whatever! :)

There are many types of butterfly origami, from simple ones to really complicated ones! As for me, as long as the shape of the butterfly is there, I am one happy Bride :D
STAFF SALE. ADMIT ONE. NO INVITATION CARD, NO ADMITTANCE. Blah, blah blah.
And I thought this is something exclusive. I thought, it is one of a kind invitation meant for staff. Saturday, 19th July 2008. 8am.
Reached the place around 815am with my sister and was at loss of words to witness the crowd. It started spiralling from INSIDE the Ballroom, through the spiral staircase, out to the entrance and continued all the way up to other Hotel entrance! We quickly parked our car and tried to catch up with the queue. I could only guess, there is at least 500 people ahead of us in the queue. We started chatting with those in the queue, and NONE of them are Estee Lauder staff. NONE. They got their invites just like us, from some friends. Young girls, aunties even guys! After 15 minutes, we made up our mind to leave the crazy place. Not worth our time, seriously. By the time we get in, most items would probably be snapped up already!
We left the queue and headed back to the lift. And then, we got LUCKY! Nope, we didn't cut Q. Never our style to cut Qs. It was pure luck. We just happened to be at the right place, right time.
As we were walking past, suddenly, the security guard ushered us IN!! He must've thought that we were one of those early birds?! Hmm...but anyway, we were ushered in together with a few other malay girls. And, Wow! My sis and I are IN!!!!! We can't believe our luck! We grinned, quickly took a bag and headed over to the sales area.
It is CHEAP! MAC eye shadow selling at RM50 for a pack three (3) colours!! Normal price is at RM57 each but of course, it is pre-packed, so, they will normally mix it with not-so-nice colours. Bought all these items below at RM220 only (normal @ RM608)...
Whatz the catch? I would think some of these items might come from discontinued range, certainly hope that it is not expired goods! **hope** Ohh, bought some Booster Masks too :P
Now, let me practice my own makeup as I planned to DIY for my ROM day!
Thinking back about the traffic jam I had today, never fails to put a smile on my face. Yes! I luv traffic jam! Especially the one along Jalan Pinang, at approximately 5:30pm. The jam was so horrible that I move only an inch for every 10 minutes! Yacking on the hp with a girlfriend of mine until my batt went dead..and still, I have gone nowhere, seems like being at the same spot for ages!
And then...suddenly...OMG.............*gasp*.........
I wanna peeee!! Yes! I need to pee! I quickly took a right turn and headed to KLCC! PHEW!! :)
As the traffic was so bad, I decided to do a little shopping at the mall and finally, I found my wedding shoes!! Yay!!! Studded with Swarovski diamond, not too strappy and not-so-high heeled...perfect! :)
And what made it even better is that July is the month of MEGASALE in Malaysia! This pair of shoe was retailing at a whopping RM499 and I got it at a real bargain that I couldn't believe myself!! And oh, Nine West is having a crazy sales too! How many pair of shoes does a woman really need? My guess is...INFINITY!
Nexxt.....pedicure, please!!.
This is actually a movie title, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda. Personally, I heard of too many tales and horror stories of living together with one. In today's modern society, I still can't believe that many people still expect the wife to stay under one roof with MIL. Two WOMEN under one roof? Well..unless the other one is her mum....the rest will never ever ever work out. Sisters, aunties, grandma, etc, etc...let's face it, we, women know ourselves much better! The only woman whom can tolerate us, is the one and only...important person in our lives....our MUM!
As for me, I am so close to mum that I dread to think living without her. The fact that I am moving out, once I wed....never fails to dampens my mood. Sigh. I am SOOOO used to having her with me. You see, my mum can't stay with me until my sis decides to move out/away or decide to run off with some guy. Hehe. Mothers. They are so determined to look after you, no matter young or old. :)
I do hope I don't need to stay with my MIL. Not that I dislike her. She is a nice lady, actually. But, living together? I know myself well enough. My character. My attitude. Compromise? I hope I don't need to...The best way to remain in a happy-ever-after r/ship...is to NOT live under one roof. I do hope my bf can understand about this.. (if he ever read this blog)
So, I am adding a 2nd wish list here (apart from smoking):
"I wish and wish, that I don't need to stay with MIL ever" :P
MIL is best kept away from the DIL. This way, r/ship will remain happy :D for all!!
We had a heart to heart talk about his smoking habit. I know I cannot change him, only he can change if he wants to. Living a life together requires understanding, and tolerance of each other's worst habits. Like what I have mentioned..."We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly..." How true this is!
My bf told me that, to him..."love is loving , caring , understanding , forgiving and accepting". Wow! Indeed, it wowed me! Didn't know he has deep thoughts like this :P
So, we made an agreement that there will be no smoking in the entire apartment, except open areas like the kitchen or outside of the apartment. That, he agreed, not to "avoid" an issue especially when I am boiling at the the said issue. That, he should communicate more of his feelings, his anger, his sadness or even dissapointment and let me know, how he feels. Of course, "Men will gaze into the horizon" when there's a challenge (according to John Gray), I do however hope, that he will open up to me more. That's how a r/ship will last. Communication.
Pheee-weet!! I am so glad I got over the jitters now...errm, I hope it won't strike back! This is what I have done today:-
1) Finalise the list of favors to my cousin (whom will help to source from Guangzhou)
2) Bought the latest Bridal Magazine which cost me MYR 15.60 (ouch!)
3) Surfing the web to learn to make my own multimedia cartoon presentation (still waiting for help..)
I fell in love with this simple dress in the magazine. If I really lose enough weight, I think I would get it for my wedding dinner! It says here that it is a "Duchess satin dress with ribbon detal from Bridal Concept" Luv it :) But then again, it could be the model that makes the dress looks pretty...
A good friend forwarded me a really interesting article. At times like this, reading such article does brought back a little hope for me. :) The article was titled, "Did I marry the right person?" Interesting.
I was once told, that fate does not determine our life path. Most people will surrender to fate - whether good or bad, but of course, mostly when bad things happens. But if we think deeply, it is really in us to determine what we want, and how it turns out to be. Our character, "interacts" outside our body and most of the time, our mind determines our action. Yes, we tend to follow the heart, emotions run high - but then again, the heart can't think by itself, isn't it? We just let our mind thinks that it's not working...let the heart take over. That's why we do many things emotionally, especially women.
So, happy or sad, it is in our hands. We control our emotions. That's why, I do agree that Love is a decision rather than pure emotional feeling. If you decide to love a man whole-heartedly, you will. If you decide to look elsewhere, you will have 101 reasons to justify such actions. If you decide to forgive, you will forget. If you decide to be unforgiven, you will not forget.
Cause and effect. That's why some say, "fate is in our hands"...come to think of it now...isn't that true? :)
This is definitely one of the MUST SEE, MUST VISIT and MUST REGISTER website for all brides-to-be. Or wives. Or mums. Well...women, in general. :P
