I'm Getting Married!!!

I've always thought the weddings I attended were way too complicated. It was either too many people or crappy food or crappy booze or way too Chinese-y. (I know that's not a word, but if you've attended a typical Chinese wedding, you'll know what I mean.)

So, for my wedding, I wanted everything to be simple. So I thought, how hard can a simple wedding be? Just choose a nice location by the beach, invite some great people and have a good time. Oh boy, was I wrong. Very very wrong.

It started with, choosing a date and location. Me and my parents went to see a few places. Either we loved the place, but the date wasn't available, or the date was available but the location wasn't ideal.

Finally, we found the perfect location and set the date. Major part settled right? NO. That was where my challenge began. (Also, I have to plan this entire wedding by myself as my fiance is away for work.)

Then there comes the: decorations, themes, florists, invitations, photographers, videographers, make-up artist, bands, food, liquor, dresses, shoes, bridesmaids, bridesmaids dresses, groom's suit, groomsmen, etc.



I learn that, the simpler the wedding, the more work it took. Also, I consider myself as more of a detailed person and I wanted to personalize almost everything. That not only takes up a lot of time, but also money as well.

But all in all, I managed to complete planning an entire wedding, in less than 6 months and still with months to spare. But, I'm sure the stress has only just begun.

Hope?

Virginia Tech. In 2007, a South Korean student went on a shooting rampage and killed 32 people and injured many more. Today, another male suspect was seen on campus and now the campus is on lockdown.

I know of someone who has a friend on the plane on the 9-11 attack. His friend tried to call his family but apparently couldn't get through and called him to pass him the message and then the phone went silent. How does anyone ever recover from that kind of incident?

What is the world coming to? Are people so depressed and disgusted with life that they would rather buy a gun and kill everyone else and then commit suicide after? When you kill someone, you not only kill the person but his/her family's hopes and dreams as well anyone and everyone they know.

I guess this is the world we live in today.

Revival...

I've decided to revive my blog. Woot. Let's see how long it can last this time.

If Only...

If only...

Things didn't happen for a reason.

Alls well, ends well.

Everything was perfect.

Everything went according to plan.

All good things come to an end.


Then...

I would not have been who I am today.

I truly believe, that which does not kill me only makes me stronger.

Yes, I will pause and mourn for a while.


But,

Life goes on whether I like it or not.

So, there's no point of stopping at life for too long.

Goodbye my friend, I hope you have a good life.

Because, I know I will.

Lessons in Life

Random May

I really have no inspiration to blog at all. I just feel like doing nothing ALL the time now. Random thoughts I guess.

1. Addicted to Leona Lewis' song, "Yesterday".

2. Finally starting to recover from a 12-day flu and a very serious sinus infection that kept me from flying. Missed 2 flights.

3. Went to Japan for a few days. Was sick the whole time. Einstein is super cute. Still did not manage to convince Herbie into getting me a hamster. No worries, still working on it.

4. Caught up with some friends over meals, AWESOME!

5. Woke up two days in a row at 7.30am for training and felt like dying. No idea on how to go back to normal 9-5 jobs. EEwww...

6. As of today, I am certified to work on the World's Largest Commercial Aircraft.

7. Gave up the idea on owning the $3500 bag. I have better uses for that kinda amount of money. Yes, it's still very tempting, but, I know it's the right thing. (Being responsible sucks.)

8. "Glee" is starting to bore me a little.

9. Should I watch "Dexter" Season 5 in Sept since Season 4 was such a major disappointment?

10. There's no alcohol in my system at all in the past 2 weeks. Wow.

RIP Blah Blah

Rest in peace, Blah Blah. (Isn't that the cutest/funniest name ever?). Blah Blah is my cousin's French bulldog who fell into a 4ft pond and drowned while the family was out for dinner. I didn't even get the chance to meet the little bugger yet. He was only a few months old. Poor thing.
