"Surreal, but nice"

Remember this phrase? If you're a die-hard fan of Notting Hill, then maybe you'll instantly recognise it. Well, this is how I feel right now. It's only 20 days to our wedding and it feels so surreal...but nice.

Time has passed us by extra quickly these days because we're busy at work and with the final preparations for the day. I get easily tired because I'm not getting enough sleep, coupled with working on preparations till late.

I do think it's about time we slow down and get more rest before we burn out before the wedding day. But how? Maybe we suck at time management? Never mind...it's too late to worry about that now. All I want right now is to zzz....

Tomorrow will be another day...it's getting more and more surreal, but nice :)

Hi eternty, Surreal but nice..that is truly a very nice expression. I am not sure whether I truly understand what you are feeling right now as I have never been there and not sure whether I will ever get there...but anyway, I do feel excited for you and am absolutely absolutely v happy for you as a friend. I get from I just imagined probably I can grasp what you are feeling and you are right...onyl 19 days more! Maybe you should not learn to chill out a bit and take it easy. You really don't want to be burnt out on this very very special day of your life. It is a shame I can't be there with you but at the same time my heart and warm wishes go all the way out to you and Ray...Congrats again...:)
Friends Always, Ju

Counting down the days must be really exciting. Try to take it easy - delegate! (though it's really easier said than done!) Here's Bkworm and her family wishing you great happiness with your man. Congrats!

Less than a month to go

It's been a very tiring weekend. It's 30 minutes to midnight and the bad news is that tomorrow, it's back to work. All weekend I've been doing nothing but everything that has to do with the wedding plans. Cleaned up, packed stuff, carried heavy boxes of things and moving them around took all my energy all afternoon yesterday. Then mom and I went shopping in the evening to find outfits for my mom.

We couldn't find anything but guess what? I ended up getting lots of necklaces as wedding presents! The best thing was I got to choose them myself. I ended up with 2 Swarovski pieces because I loved both and couldn't decide which to bring home...and so I was generously given both! We also chose mom's wedding gift to me. It's been a glittering night alright and I'm not used to it!

Today my day started with facial. I was told my skin condition has improved tremendously from the first time I visited when it was horribly dehydrated. I'm glad all the fortnightly facials and alternate nights of thirst-quenching hydration masks have paid off handsomely. These are definitely heavy investments for the big day. What to do, vain pot wants to look good!

Then I drove all over for the rest of the day, almost from one end to another sending out as many invites as I can. I've done this for 2 weekends now and I'm tired. I've decided to post the rest! Hand delivering is a warm gesture and something nice to do, but I'm running too short on time to try to meet everyone.

We went to look for outfits again since we didn't find anything suitable last night. We did this time, not all that we need but at least we're making progress filling the gaps a little at a time. I must say I've never expected little things like these to take so much time!

Finally, we've also picked up our wedding albums along with all the softcopies. So with that our wedding slideshow was completed last night. That's one thing out of the way but there're more to work on. And here are some more of my favourite pictures:

Stay positive. Lower back pain might be distressing for you, particularly if it will become chronic lower back pain.

Lots have been done...

Since the last post, I've been MIA on all my blogs. But I'm glad to say that we've accomplished a lot of things in the last month. Booked make-up artists in KL and Muar, found a florist we're happy with in Muar, decided on the theme of the church decoration, booked our photographer, bought some furniture, bought tea set and other customary stuff needed (boy they're so expensive!) and last but not least tonight we went for food tasting at the hotel. It was quite good throughout the 9 course meal, but sure, we do expect them to serve us nothing but the best tonight. On that day itself, it remains to be tasted.

On Sunday we'll be picking up the invitation cakes and I'll need to start delivering them to relatives' homes. We've also started to hand out the "summons" to our friends. :)

Next weekend we'll be picking up our photo albums from the bridal shop too. I hope that trip turns out pleasant. I'm tired of arguing with them already. Here's a little sneak peek at some photos...
