Why still sick

haiz...am still feeling sick after 2 days. Probably because I did not take my medication in the morning, as it would make me feel drowsy and sleepy during work. As such, I can only take it before I go to bed.

Last night, I had a really deep but disturbing sleep. I had a nightmare, where I cried so much in the dream. I dreamt that my mum contracted cancer. It was a harsh news. I just kept crying non-stop and woke up sobbing. It was really not a good sign at all.

Well, that someone is on sick leave yet again. For this whole month, every week, she is on 1 day sick leave. So she is only working 4 days per week. How weak can she be? Argh, and boss is closing one eye. Growl.

King Kong

Last night, I finally agreed to accompany hubby to watch the movie King Kong despite being sick and wanting to rest at home after work. It was a 3 hours long show and started at 830 to 1140pm. By the time we got into bed it was already 12midnight.

It was a very nice show and I cried twice in the show man. Aiyo, lucky it was dark so I suppose hubby didnt know. So upset leh, haiz..Beautiful things never last.

Anyway, finally got the time to snap my wax seal.

Sick on a Monday

Oh boy, I'm feeling under the weather. Had a terrible ucler that lasted for a whole week, then develop sore throat and now my nose is running off....

Had wanted to throw in mc, but my family doctor is closed. I have medication at home, but I have to spend money to see a doctor to get the mc. Argh...

This morning,the stupid bus stopped at every traffic light and made me rush for the train again. As usual, I did not manage to catch the train in time. %^$&*. When the next train arrived 3 mins later, my god, it was So stuffy that water dews were developing on the mrt panels, even the floor! I couldnt breathe at all man and had to resort taking out a paper to fan myself.

Ah, I finally received my wax seal parcel last Friday and picked it up on Sat. It was nice, BUT, there were 6 missing red sealing wax that I placed order for. I sure do hope the lady forgot to pack it in and not did it on purpose. It would definitely destroy that trust in her and I wouldnt recommend anyone to purchase online from her if she does not sends it to me. I had fun trying to do the seal, but the wax dries up very fast and I cannot get a nice imprint of the seal. Will snap a photo once I got a nice one.

10 more days to Christmas!

It's just 10 more days to Christmas and I dont want Christmas to arrive so soon.....

That's because once after Christmas it would mean count down to year end is coming and then it's Chinese new year. and then it's my wedding. I have yet to start enjoying myself and preparing all the stuffs and I really dont want that day to arrive so soon....I will deeply miss all the preparation, the stress, the shopping and wearing my wedding gown...boo hoo

Just last Sunday, hubby brought his mum and aunt over to my place to discuss about the exchange of gifts between groom and bride. I must say my parents are at a total lost on this and had to rely on this printout which I have gotten off the web last minute. I couldnt be bothered what they were discussing about. But one thing made me very disturbed. My mum asked hubby and myself to an chuan ourselves! The tradition is to get a happy marriage couple to change the bedsheets for us etc etc so as to pass us their good marriage luck to us. To ask hubby and myself to an chuang??? Both of us argue at the smallest possible issue, how to an? alamak.

Then while at town last week, we saw a elderly couple, and the hubby offered to hold his wife's hand. Awww...so sweet. Then hubby said we should ask them to help us an chuang for us! kekeke

We received our wedding cards proof yesterday and vet it through. Argh, they got our lunar calender month wrong. Hubby is rushing them to deliver the cards and inserts by Xmas, so we gotta approve and verify the proofs by Friday in order to collect it by next week. So rush, I dont like. And I'm still waiting for my seal to be sent from UK, it takes about 10 days...haiz, when will I receive it.....

Finally awaited for Friday

Finally, after such a awful long wait, Friday has arrived for everyone.

I've got the email confirmation that my order for my wax seal has been shipped and it's on the way! Yippy! I cant wait to get my hands on it. I have customised it to hubby and my initial and would use it to seal up our wedding invites.

This evening, we are heading to the wedding card shop to finalise our card details and to send for printing. I am also on the look out for my wedding shoes too....

....Ruthless....

Last night we headed down with excitement to view our studio photos. We took nearly 200++ photos and at the first round of elimination, we still had 197 photos. Faint. and the price quoted to us was $4888 which is not possible for us to pay one okay. come on, $5K for photos? oh pls.

Then we eliminate more and the price was reduced to $3888. No way. So eliminate 3rd round and was quoted $3288. at $3288 I can go to Europe! so 4th round. Each time it just got tougher to decide as the photos are really the best lots out of the worst and now we've gotta choose the better of the best. Haiz....after eliminating more, the grouping of the photos became like 4 down to 3, 3 down to 2 and the lady said it would eventually not be very nice for the whole layout.

Seeing that we are so cham, she quoted us $2900 to get eveything. But I wasn't comfortable. Then we took more out and pushed the price down to $2500. Final deal. But by then, I was quite upset, coz there were few photos that I really really like alot alot and I eliminated them.
Eventually, we would have abt~80 prints into 2 albums and then 30 sample proofs which we get to choose from the eliminated ones and these would not be in the CD Rom. And I would never be able to re-develop it again. So sad! I'm really very sad leh. Boo Hoo.

Hubby and myself couldnt fall asleep the whole night yesterday even though we were so tired. He was worried about the finances and so was I. I was also upset abt the photos which I heartlessly eliminated. Now regreting. Really feel like calling the studio up to ask if they can just add the 2 photos for FOC or not. ; (

This is a terrible day for me to get by. I dont even have mood to do my work.

Kudos.....

Hubby overslept and woke up only when my handphone alarm went off at 7:00am. He had to rushed off soon after, poor hubby. Hope he's doing fine at work today on a Monday.

Stepped into office and notice the empty seat(yet again). As usual, she's on urgent leave. Argh. Why does this always happen during the closing period? And especially on Mondays. She's been absent for countless mondays through the years. How can a team work when one often falls back and leaves behind the pile of work to clear up? argh. pissed.

Just attended a close friend's wedding on Sat. It's all the way to the other end of the island, at Jurong....we took nearly 1 hour 15mins to reach the interchange and by then, hubby was grumbling and hence, we took a cab down to the restaurant. It was a relatively simple and cosy wedding. Surprise surprise, when we arrived, our names werent on the guestlist and I was like so damn paisay about it. I was a little turned off when the girl asked "so are you XX's army friend, NTU friend, Secondary school friend etc." None of the above. And later when she wasnt able to locate our names, she posted the same stupid question again. I had to then tell her that I am the groom's music friend and it's not stated on any of the group on the list. Oh man. Then luckily my godbrother told the girl that we are seated at Table 14, and so she made a note on the list. Turned out that Table 14 was the helper's table and that's why it's not listed on the guestlist lah. dude.

Ended up only hubby and I were seated at the table 85% of the time as the helpers had to be the videographer, slide player, flower petals thrower, bubble blowers etc. And the table ang-bao was just under the table. Hubby and I were being assigned to be the "help look after our things" helper. Grrr.....I am fine with it as well, since we get to eat most of the food too. Although I must say it's not to my liking...

My friend's emcees were good and because all the helpers are close friends, they can click and part up together very well throughout the night. How envy! I'm having headache about my emcees now, as hubby got his army friend to lead in the Mandarin speech and I am intending to get my sis-in-law to lead in the English speech. How to have "moi-qi" like that? Cham. That's when it got hubby to think twice about getting his army friend as emcee. (Phew)

They had games to play in guessing how long have the couple known each other todate and Ang Bao of $88 was given out to those who guessed correctly.

It ended around 1045pm and we reached home at 12midnight.

I am so excited now!!!! Studio has just called and said our photos are ready for selection and we are heading down this Wednesday after work! Wish I can head down today!

Part of me is filled with excitement, the other part of me is filled with worries. What if the photos turned out very awful? What if one look at the photos and we dislike it? ARGH......how, this is killing me. Wednesday, which means it's another 2 and a half day more to go, how am I gonna survive???

Sad night

Last night I was so angry then became upset with hubby.

I was in the toilet doing business and as I am afraid of flying insects, I would close the small window. And lucky I did, because not long after, I heard a buzzing irritating sound at the window! I peeped and it was a beetle. Since we shifted in, many beetles came visiting our house, I really wonder why and that really freaked me out.

I tried ignoring it, but it would not go away and kept buzzing and hitting against the window pane that makes my hair stood up. yucks. I shouted for hubby and asked him to close the kitchen window in case that irritating beetle decides to enter our house via the window.

After I was done, I called for hubby to help me catch that beetle. He grumbled and opened the window and reluctantly used his hands to touch the window. No sight of the damn beetle! Then he stepped out and said "Dont have lah" and poor me had to keep convincing that it is outside the window! And I suggested to spray water at the window. He pulled a long face and grumbled and said he will do that just to please me. Wah liao, by then I was so angry. Come on, I have phobia of insects and need his rescue, then what? If I have the guts to catch it myself, would I need his help???? %^&*($*#

I pulled a very black face, walked off to the bedroom, switched on the aircon and tucked myself to bed. Hubby went back to his reading in bed and after awhile, he got pissed and went out to watch his news. I was so upset, starting to think how my parents were so protective over me and how mum would never fail to help me catch the insects even in the middle of the night. And yet now, I'm left all alone....

I couldnt get to sleep. When hubby came in to bed, I pretend to lay real still until I heard his snoring. I fell asleep at about 3am and had a nightmare. I dreamt that I was at my mum's place and there was this beetle that Dad caught and he had wanted to show me. But I was so terrified that I ran and screamed. That's when I woke up screaming.

This morning, hubby came and gave me his goodbye kiss. I didnt talk to him, neither did I look at him. I smsed him after he left, telling him how upset I was last night....
