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!!

Happy Camper

I'm officially married now :)

We're already back at work.. soooo not in the mood to do anything.. still feeling tired from the Nikah ceremony on Saturday..

Married life is beautiful.. I have been too worked up with the wedding.. organizing and purchasing this and that.. and somehow I should be looking forward to the reception this Saturday but I just couldnt be bothered anymore!

Still have tonnes of things to do.. Menu card.. table arrangements, seating charts.. songs playlist.. *sigh*

a Dream in the making.. she's a genius!

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 :)

Somehow I feel that no matter how good my foot-care regime is, I would still get cracked heels. Is it because I wear high heels too frequently? If you have this same problem, guess what? I've found a place that can help you smoothen out those ugly skin.

Trust me, I have tried getting pedicures from so many places but none could really remove all of them (although Kool Kutz (Bangsar Village II) does excellent job with buffing your toe nails that they continue to shine until they grow out)

So back to cracked heels, you can really get them removed at Green Paradise at First Floor, Ampang Point Shopping Mall. Quick (abt 30 mins), painless and effective.

One catch though.. the 'beautician' (for lack of vocab at 7am in the morning) were very annoying. They thought they were being friendly but can't they tell that me reading magazines means I am not interested to talk? and they will make you sign up for packages and tried selling their other services and products.. come on, do they really have to show that level of desperation? OK, while I am already at it, somehow I feel like most salons in Malaysia apply the same annoying marketing strategy. They might sell - only because the customers are too annoyed and probably willing to spend some money just to make them keep their mouth shut! As a result, that will be a permanent goodbye.

So, if you happen to run a beauty salon and reading my blog, please please please train your staff to be nice, smile (is good), be attentive but please don't be over-friendly - coz you will only repel people like me.. and please don't be too desperate, trying too hard to sell your products.. and if u happen to run hair salon, please don't spoil your customers mood by telling them their is dying, therefore desperate (my word of the day) for the most expensive treatment or else, deal with a bald head for the rest of your lives! Look, we all have mirrors, we can tell if our hair is frizzi-er than a lion's and if we are interested, we'll ask for it ok?

Hmm.. I'm nagging now. Better Stop. Toodles!

Wanna be a princess?

Well.. I'm getting married in less than a month.. so lately I have been trying to figure out what kind of hair-do should I have - veil..? no veil..? tiara..? Few weeks back I thought I was quite certain that a messy side bun with cymbium and a pair of diamond studs would be perfect.. until my mum planted this thoughts in my head that.. I should wear a veil and tiara since this is basically the only time I could pull this off.. right?

So I have been flipping through Hello magazines from my 'archive'.. and my current obsession is the European princesses.. see, those long veil ala princess Diana.. heheh.. As you may have already known by now, I am a bit extreme.. simple means simple all the way and while I am already into this whole princess fairy-tale mood, might as well go all the way, right?? Shouldn't settle for anything in between, no?

Hmm okay, I got side-tracked.. what I actually wanted to share this time is actually lingerie.. soo in the mood of collecting them, for obvious reasons :p I love Princesse Tam Tam.. (since La Perla and Agent Provocateur are obviously out of the equation!).. I just love the pretty lace with matching trimmings and ribbons.. another reason that I love PTT is perhaps their range where unlike the over-rated Victoria Secret that has models that make women who are not very full at the top (*ehem) quite intimidated, PTT's range is more tasteful, modern and very European.

You can find PTT in Blush! stores. The price range is between RM239-RM379 per piece. If you live near Subang Jaya, Point B! in Summit USJ carries them for a permanent slash of 40-50%.. Go Indulge ;)
