server down today

I thought of coming into office and updating my blog in the morning but guess what, the server was down till an hour ago. Frustrating definitely but also provided some form of amusement. Had a colleague whose phone line was switched to another person's, and then later, had 3 different lines all coming to his. He was the receptionist for the day.

I went for a trial makeup over the weekend. Ok but then again, I'm no expert. My friends (including D who came by) thought it was too light. I kinda agree just because I could still see my dark eye circles. But then again, if use too much concealer to hide it, I'll look like I'm cracking under my eyes.

A good friend called today. Was great to hear from her but I wonder if my friends get bored with all these wedding talk. I should consider diversifying the scope of this blog (haha, sounds like talking about work).

blogger vs livejournal

Recently, I was contemplating whether to move the blog over to livejournal but decided to stay with blogger... for now. No real problems at blogger but faced with so many nice blogs over at livejournal, I was contemplating, but personally found it a little to hard to move around. Maybe I just need to explore more.

To personalise my current blog a bit more, I've decided to teach myself some HTML. Hopefully the interest last long enough for me to do something to the blog.

big grand plans

After much pestering, my colleague (soon to be ex) YK, has drawn up an exercise plan for me. All I need to do is to gather all the willpower and determination lying dormant somewhere and follow the plan to the T. Maybe he knows that they are hidding from me cuz he also suggested alternatives. Yippee. Cindy Crawford, step aside.

To complement it, my associate cell leader has volunteered her services as a dietician. I'm supposed to give her my BMI plus the food I've been feeding my body for the past 3 days. I need to go find the dreaded measuring tape and weighing machine first. I'm half afraid the latter will take on the persona of Garfield's weighing machine.

measurements taken

I went for my measurements today. Would actually write more but my eyes are half closed. Anyway, on the way back home, I just suddenly realised that I have no idea whether my wedding gown has a train. Hmmm. I think D won't be the only one surprised by the gown. I think I might be too.

pre-wedding preparations

A colleague of mine asked about my wedding preparations. I almost felt she was chiding me when she said she was very busy a few months before her wedding (which seemed to imply I should be too). Hmmm. Well, I don't really care. No, not the wedding but for the fact that I MUST be up to my neck with the preparations.

I think it just depends on your expectations. I would love for a perfect wonderful wedding, but not at the risk of getting stressed, taking it out on D, enjoying the excitement of planning, or worst still, not enjoying the day itself. I'm sure more things would come at me later but maybe I'll just revel in the madness of it all. It's like swimming. You can't submerge underwater for too long, you'll have to come up for breather some time or another. I just like to think I'm taking loooonnng breaths now.

I just want to enjoy myself. I just want to be a happy bride, with my happy friends and family. I want to look back and remember all these instead of the stress, or worst still nothing because I have been too caught up with the logistics.

Anyway, the wedding is only for a day (and sometimes it's for others' sake instead) and a marriage is for a lifetime.

Me... I'm thinking of my new journey ahead with D.

panic

Ok, it's official. I can no longer say I still have some time to plan for the wedding. As of today, I have exactly 4 months (minus 1 day) left. This calls for a panic attack. I hope this will spur me on to get off my butt and do something.

Hope is a wonderful thing.

change of plan

I was surfing the net for photographers one day when I saw it. It was calling out for me. I just had to do it. I couldn't take it anymore. I gave in. So... I clicked on "Links" on one of the photographer's webpage.

So my plans are derailed slightly again. Instead of meeting two photographers as I mentioned previously, before we make our decision, we're going to meet three.

I told D, "We're just going to meet one more. Once we meet them, we'll decide." Deja vu. I think I said that a few weeks ago.

It will end this week. I hope.
