the boy just went out with his boys for stags night, dinner and drinks.. lotsa drinks. and now he's merlioned all of it out and sounded not very alright on the phone. sigh. worried.
wish i was there with him. but how could i spoil his night? his only night where he doesnt need to be the one to take care of everybody and be the nice boy that he is.

4 more days to the big day and we just got a decent looking top for my mum. my funny mum went to custom-make a top, but it turned out looking very casual. i told her, how come she goes to other cousins' wedding dressing nicer than coming to mine?
and so we had to rush down to centrepoint recommended by a colleague after work today where there were lotsa shops selling aunties' evening wear. high class mind you. the cheapest top i saw was 168 buckeroos. not even a gown was less than 200. although we got her something beyond my budget, i was still happy cus she looked good and at ease in what she chose.
and she told me something so weird dat i dunno to laugh or to cry. she was empathizing with my cousin jas, who had his dinner 2 yrs back at swissotel, and lost much much on the banquet. even though it looks a darn expensive place, it was still cheaper than ours, but of course she didnt know that before. i think shes finally getting the truth that im truly broke becus they want such a big event.
however, as i pack my bags to move my thronggs of clothes and stuff to the new place, im starting to feel the sadness falling on me. as much as i complain and kao peh about this whole shit that they're dumping on me, i still love them deeply even though i havent said it ever before.

looking back at the past week's post, realised the boy has been doing quite abit of stuffs for me ya.. and so it highlighted me being quite a meanie to him for screaming at him when he doesnt get certain things, or hes just too softhearted and lets others bully him.
this is a trying time for me, for us. the tremendous amount of stress we have to face. seeking near mistake-less progress in the things we do. even at 2 in the morning now, we're still trying to handle the music of the event. i cant believe we left this till so last minute, and we'll have to go for AV testing tmr noon. argh what the hell.
i wish we could have a week of wedding leave after the actual day and just catch up on sleep and nua at the new home.

my silly boy moved in!!
we packed 8-10 bags of bags outside our new home at 7.20.. the silly boy was pacing around, heart beating fast cus he's finally going to move in to the new house.. i set an alarm at 7.29 just in case we were crapping too much and missed the time. i stepped into the lift just as he opened the door. took me 20 minutes to drive home from the new home, all the while thinking what he was doin at home.
and my silly boy cooked this for his first meal! simple and plain, but i wish i was there having this simple dinner with him.
and then he rushed to do some other things which included 20 minutes for setting our bed. haa! was so worried that he set it with the wrong colour. then he told me afterwards that he'll strip the bed and i'll have to set it with the actual sheets for our wedding day when i officially move in. so mah fan!
even though i nag nag nag at him, im secretly rather proud of him. cant wait to start my life with him together..

i love to see friends post their kids growing up shots... it doesnt
even need to be taken with a DSLR, its the memories, the laughters,
the crying, the mess that the kids have made, them sleeping, them trying to pull along an ntuc basket, them sulking, that makes it all so
worthwhile for the effort.
once it's passed, it will never come back again.

Either I'm becoming a bridezilla or I'm just plain crazy.I hate people who don't share personal info with you, and yet keeps
probing about yours. I'm very easygoing and I'd definitely share if
you share with me. We learn from each other. But now I'm slowly
becoming a selfish bitch becus of this person. I'm wary of divulging
too much personal info. Wary of sharing. I simply do not like his way
of treating his wife, the way he puts it across as if he'd been so
giving and caring when it's not (from the wife's little conversations).
Oh yes, he does share. Share generic info that doesn't involve him.
Share expensive tips, hello, $300/mth to you to get a maid is
affordable, doesn't mean it is to me. Besides, i dun need one. Sharing
ideas and tips are fine, but dun say it like I'm stupid for not
getting the things u have. Worse, I hate it when he pokes into the
place I'm staying. So what if it's big? Its not mine. So what if YOU
were staying in a 3-roomer? I'm not spendthrift like you. I wasn't
born with a silver spoon but you're beginning to look like you were.
I feel so stupid to be easily affected by others.
16 more days to the big day and I'm complaining about redundant
matters. Someone wrote on sgbrides forum that her sisters didn't
organise any hen's party, didn't help her at all for the preps, and
she just wished for it to be over soon.
Well, I didn't mind planning everything for this wedding on my own.
It's my day afterall. Nobody knows better than me how I want it to be
done. I derive joy from it, or rather most of the time anyway. But I
was indeed a tad disappointed that nobody offered to have a girls'
night out. Oh well, looking at it on the bright side, I get to save
some money.
Everynight is a busy night for me. Cleaning, packing, photoshopping,
organising, financing.. Trying to sleep early is like a sin. Now I
can't relax my face, too stressed and concentrated. Armed with 2 black-
grey bags under the eyes, I'm entering the final stage of this race.
Things still unfinished:
Montage (ending part)
Ang pow box (cover and decorative designs)
Packing Ang pows
Changing money
Songs to play throughout the banquet
2nd march-in song
Fan fare song
Parents' guestlist
Seating arrangement
Packing for the trip to the hotel

Testing the blogging from iPhone function while I'm on the way to work..A sample of the speech I have thought out..
"Thank you everyone for coming to the wedding which would have been
non existent if not for the insistence of my parents.
None of these other than what you see on us is what we really really
want. We're just performers and you're paying any amount out of your
own will to watch this boring performance. My parents are truly
thankful to have you here with us tonight. Thank you all on their
behalf."

took urgent leave tmr becus we need to get the kitchen pull out shelves changed, dunno why, but it seems seng ngak.
since the boy cannot take morning leave tmr, i had to. worse is, they aint very light, and mumsy needs the vehicle tmr. so gotta wake up ultra early to get her to send me to the shop in jalan besar and i bring all the stuff back to the new home and start cleaning up while waiting for the boy and MIL to come over to continue cleaning up.
me time in the house alone for the first time. i wonder how it'd feel. i'd better bring my charger and play some music on my trusty white apple while i clean. scared it'd be too quiet for my liking..
and im still awake at 1.30am icing my strained neck! zzz...
