#1 Crush remains as my #1 love song of all time.
I just have this stupid fantasy of singing it on stage, in my darkest (yet tasteful :p) outfit with a 3 piece band.. god I love Shirley Manson.
It's just amazing how they even come up with that tune. The music, the lyrics are just so crazy yet true. When you're in love, that's exactly how you feel - 'cant live without', 'i'd do anything for you', pure freaky obsession that you'd be embarrassed to admit.
yes, I would die for you
... er ok, maybe not

My Personal Top Five
Obviously fashion is not at the top of my priority list right now. I left Dubai with only a Sonia Rykiel for H&M sweater (ok fine, except for the whole suitcase full of home junks and trinkets :p), inspired by the striped top Carrie Bradshaw wore in Season 6 in Sex in the City (the outfit she wore when she frist arrived). Yes, there is no way I could ever fit in it right now but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I should be able to do so in er... 6 months or so?
Time flies. It's 27 weeks now and he's alive and kickin'. I am still having this mixed feelings - partly I can't wait to finally see him and partly nervous to a definitely life-changing experience. One thing for sure, I'm grateful.
Things have been smooth sailing. No puking, no breakouts, only angry appetite and the OCCASSIONAL mood swings. I have been thankfully healthy and fit enough to roam the streets and malls in Dubai and Bandung.
I am kind of irritated or rather annoyed with some people who have been trying to be Mrs-Know-It-All, to be telling all sorts of things just because they have had similar experience before. Chill out, I am already seeing a doctor who has >30 years of experience and unless if you think you know more than him, then thanks, but no thanks. I drink coffee and coke as I like (coz he says I can), I took meds when I had fever (coz he pescribed me those pills), I have not been drinking milk as I am lactose intolerant (and he says it's ok) and I take eno whenever I have stomach discomfort (coz he says I can too). And I thought it was rather mean for someone to have the nerve to tell me in the face that she 'heard' things will be bad at later stages as unlike most women (especially her), I have not been experiencing the common painful symptoms so far. *sigh*
Anyway, I read this inspiring article on my fav decorating blog that suggested that we should have only FIVE goals at a time, to make them more achievable and I guess to keep our focus right on track? So here are my top five goals (at least for now):
1. Anger management - Yes, I do realize that I have tantrums (nasty ones in fact) so I try to be conscious all the time and not allow my anger and emotions take control of the situation.
2. Home - They say I'm nesting. I have just lost interest in fashion (for obvious reasons that nothing look good on me now) so my obsession have now been shifted to furnitures. I love the modern contemporary look - with a little bit of antiques and glamour thrown in between modern, clean pieces. Well, it's still a long way to go - the plan is to move into our new home in about 6 months so we'll see.
3. Diaper bag - ok fine, I guess this is just a shallow one (or can't even be considered as a goal) but I just have to get that Prada diaper bag (I'm not going to put the link here in case you outbid me :p)
4. To have a more meaningful hobby - I'd like to be a great home-maker - at least to my own standard. Maybe I should take up cooking and baking?
5. To lead a healthy lifestyle - I have reached the age where more and more things are starting to break. The metabolic rate is getting extremely slow, the skin has started to sag and even my brain is just getting as blunt as my mother-in-laws kitchen knifes (haha). It's time for me to start picking up the good habits (stay positive, exercise) and drop the bad ones (junk food)

What's Up?
I am currently busy re-organizing my wardrobe. Managed to sell-off a few things at flea markets and bazaars to make room for new things that will definitely fill up the space! (not that quantity matters, go figure)
Things will never be the same again and part of me is dying to try those new trendy sharp shoulder tops with skinny pants, bandage dresses, sky-high heels and platforms.. *sigh*
Guess I'd have to stick to skirts, tunics, leggings (which is sooo 2004), flats (ok, maybe kitten heels or two-inchers).. boy, I feel frumpy!
Let's see if I manage to still use some creativity on this!

So Yesterday
Yeah yeah.. I know my wedding is sooo over but as I was browsing through this space, I noticed I have not put a single photo of my wedding.. what a crime!
Just happen that I saw Rizman Ruzaini on tv today and apparently their collection is now based on layers and tiers.. so it kind of remind me to my wedding dress..
Said this many times and I'll say it again.. I have always had this long-term relationship with tiered tops, skirts, dresses.. honestly, since I was 6-7 years old.. when I used to annoy my mother every single day, calling her at work just to make her get me a tiered dress!
I know my body very well to identify the weaknesses and strengths.. I know I do not have strong shoulders and chest and that I have full cheeks but luckily I am quite blessed with height (for a Malaysian, I am quite ok) so I thought I should give more focus on the skirt to draw the attention away from my top..
I was browsing through a Martha Stewart wedding magazine and saw this beautiful, amazing Vera Wang gown that looked almost exactly as my dress (which was solely inspired by that gown), except that it was a strapless gown, layered all the way.. and I knew instantly that that's how my wedding dress should look like!
I know it was tough to finally capture the sewing technique but Nurita managed to figure it out. I was really nervous at the beginning, thinking my hips would probably look bigger than Beyonce's but it turned out fine! The tailoring was perfect, the cutting fits me well.. all I can say is.. it's different, I have not seen anything like it, at least locally.. it's me.. and it could never get any better than this.. I love it

That is so inappropriate..
I just need to vent..
what's with the trend or habit now with girls using the word "dear" and "ya or yeah".. I cringe everytime someone write to me (bloggers esp).. "hi dear" or "thanks dear".. or.. "wait for me, ya?" or "thanks ya!"
urgh.. like trying to be nice? makcik-like? or god-forbid, cool/trendy?
stop it! I'm not your "dear" and "ya" is not even a proper word!!

Today's Quickie
The day has arrived.. I am already having butterflies in my stomach! Everything's prepared, I'm leaving for the venue in 2 hours.. After months of preparation, series of unfortunate events, I am thankful and happy to announce that most members of the Dream Team have exceeded my expectations!
Special thanks to:
1. Kristin Thong of C. Club Pavilion for the excellent service and patience - yes, I know I am not that easy to work with.. hehe.. especially when it comes to finding the perfect ring! I'm glad we've managed to develop our business-rship to friendship now.. :)
2. Erni of Mixora bridal boutique (USJ 21). She came all the way to KL to help me choose the fabric for my dress.. and offered her special designer's discounts.. No alternation necessary as it fits like a glove the first time I put it on.. It came out beautiful, more than I thought it would be!
3. Mya from Laceandbeads.com. I love the hantarans.. REALLY love them all.. my heart literally stopped when I saw them all.. perfect choice of flowers (hydrangeas!), excellent coordination with her his & hers items.. tasteful cupcakes designs.. reasonable pricing.. Mya, thank you.. I wish you all the best with the baby.. :)
4. My dear friend Aida of willywonka.. it's even more special when the favours are specially hand-made by your childhood friend.. Thank you for being sooo accommodating.. Thank you, love you babe!!
5. Colleagues, childhood friends & college sisters.. THANK YOU for the hen-do's.. I had fun, I had fantastic time, I love you all.. Yes, I am getting married but our friendship lasts forever so nothing will ever change that.. I HEART YOU!
6. F, I know weddings are NOT a guy thing.. I know I may have been difficult at times but you know, I have always been a sucker for weddings.. and this is mine.. so.. I'm sorry if I've upset you in any ways for the past few months. You have been a charming fiance, I know you have put a lot of effort in driving me around, accompanying me in the most 'boring' places on Earth.. so Thank you, love you to bits!
Ok people, I'm gonna go get my shower now. Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes.. Thank you :)
