And yes, things are finally falling in place. But not my blog. Somehow, i cannot seem to do up a nice background. In this way, i lost alot of things, like my pictures, and those links to others' webpages. Importantly, there is no place for anyone to leave comments. Not that anyone has been leaving me any comments lately. But i am positive. I rather have a place for others to leave comments than not to have it at all.

Throughout this whole month of early wedding planning, i learn a great deal about what it is to be as a couple. for a start, woman are the ones who fantasize, who has a dream wedding since young and who has lots of ideals and want everything perfect. guys on the other hand are more practical. money is one of the crucial factor they look at and then they weigh all other factors below $$$. At the same time, they also wanna please their wifes to be. So actually, they have a pretty tough job in controlling the expenses. I believe alot of man out there just let their wives spend in whatever way they want for the wedding. After all, they love their wives and also they want to give her the best day of her life. Since she is only going to marry once. It is like a gift.

as a young couple ourselves, we kinda started from scratch saving for the wedding. with more savings coming from the boy. being his usual self in the past, he would ask me to forgo the wedding and just fly somewhere secluded and marry, our own world. of course that did appeal to me. however, i wanna share the joy with everyone i know. i wanna be a pretty bride for a day, with lots of pictures to show for it. importantly, i want those i love to witness me marry and be happy for me. Not counting the fact that, my parents only have me as a daughter. so certain traditions and customs cannot be spared.

i always wanted a beach wedding. however, there are so many considerations. i learnt that not everytime whatever you want, you can have. you simply have too much to consider. it is not just about yourselves. and having chosen decemeber as the wedding month, i have to consider the weather as well. i heard on the wedding day, things can go wrong no matter how perfectly you plan. i don't wanna add on my troubles by worrying whether rain or not. so going through this whole month, we learnt to give and take, i learnt to compromise in a practical way. i learnt that wedding is just the start to our marriage and i don't want to start it by not learning how to plan a wedding together.

all in all, we are very happy with our decision. in fact, i feel both of us has a say to it. and that is how it should be. both liking it and it is our decision. =) =)

i'm not very good at handling such situations. what do you do when your prospect start acting weirdly and declaring he likes you after only meeting you twice for less than half an hour each. it really creeps me out, freaks me out. i must be more mature in handling such situations next time.

too bad, i thought he could be my client. boo.....

And the search for wedding venue continues, coming nearer and nearer to the end. I've been to super nice place, such as @ Hyatt, the new concept call The Gallery, with the super intimate privacy reception area, complete with a loft kitchen and even living room, which we can design any way we want. of course, such new concept place comes with a price.

we should be making a decision soon. all these weeks of searching, inspecting, we've learnt alot. and we have benefited alot. we met some very nice wedding coordinators and of course a fair share of inexperienced 'gabra' ones.

i went to sengkang sports complex for roadshow today. usually now i don't like to do roadshows anymore, cos i am not very good at it anyway. abit waste of time, sometimes for me. but i agreed to go today and it was quite an experience. one of my best moment. =) =) happy. anyway, sengkang sports complex is quite cool ,they have very nice pools and very well equipped facilities. i am glad that my future home will be near here, so i can visit often.

haik.. my life is filled with work, trying to get started my preparation for my wedding and not much else. i want something exciting!!! anyway, decided not to blabber too much wedding talk on this blog. after all, i don't want it to be like all about wedding and no more personal life. i set up a wedding blog, at least a place for me to blabber. haha

i have been walking long distances ever since the sundown which i already clock 21 hours that day. like last week for instance, we were supposed to go beaufort for site visiting and we took the wrong shuttle bus and it took us all the way in to sentosa cove instead. imagine the distance we had to walk to come out and by the time, we already missed our appointment. then plus my appointments lately all made me walk long distances, all not near mrt or anything. ok, some of it is my own choice to walk instead of taking one mrt stop. now i know why i eat so much and not significantly fatter. don't get me wrong, i am still fat but i should have been fatter with the food i eat. i walked so much!

and this weekend, more site visiting, more walking i supposed. must remind myself to get into more comfortable dressing and shoes.

i wonder how do people ever decide where to choose their venue. i am having such huge problem choosing!! =/
