The Song of Jigglypuff

OK ranting time. There are tonnes of worries splurge into my braincells, as the big day draws sooner. Leaving my own home - This is really hard. Especially when my mom gave out a long sigh while I was helping her with dishes last weekend. "Girl, this coming Chinese New Year you will be at your in law's house, remember to behave nicely. Sure a lot customs different from us, just bear with it and adapt, if you encounter anything unsure, just call mommy." Oh, these words really crushed me to pieces. Ever since mom and dad went on different ways, I was alongside with her rebuilding our home. It was really hard for me to leave them now. But I ought to move on with my life, so every single thought of leaving home will make me teary and cause stinging pain in the heart. Well, it's not like I'm gone forever, just moving to another place which is 1 hour drive away. Sigh. Hope that I won't cry out loud on the big day. Staying with in-laws - It's a weird feelin...

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Round 1 - UPM Besties 2009 - Ai Teng tie the knot, we had her hens night at Hilton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. 2011 - Bee Lin's turn, we headed to Holiday Villa, Cherating for her hens night getaway. 2013 - My bachelorette party. We had a great time at Avillion, Port Dickson! Our tradition to celebrate each besties's bachelorette day with a luxurious pampering holiday; just the 5 of us.  Not those crazy partying type, but just a simple lovey dovey quiet getaway with my bestest pals. We settled on the date 15 of December to blast off the getaway, 2 days 1 night at Avillion! It was quite tough to squeeze in the slot into everyone's busy schedule, but really appreciate the girls' effort to make this tradition go on. This time around, AT was the one driving, with her Exora, we were comfy along the 2 hours drive to PD. We were a little ahead of schedule to check in, so we decided to have lunch at the new PD waterfront. Upon checking in, we were thrilled as our Garden Chal...

1. Itinerary I'm considered a very last minute person, me and Wilson both did not really bother on the itinerary of the actual day events until very last week prior to the event. As I drilled further on the details, I felt goosebumps all over my body. So many things could happen to hinder the event flow! And how much could we plan? Finally I give the very last touch to this itinerary 3 days before actual day, distributed it to all the related person in charge, i.e. photographer, videographer and friends/family whom are helping out. 2. Wedding Dinner Entertainment We discussed this over and over again, to hire or not hire wedding live band. We analysed from other friends' wedding dinners, the duration of singing from the live band isn't that long but their charges were sky high. Likely about RM3,000 for a 3 pc band for a 30-40 mins singing. And we realized some live band trying to perform like their concert in weddings and we do not like those. But..If we do ...

We religiously followed the Chinese tradition for our wedding, quite many efforts were put in to fulfill the customs but nevertheless it made our wedding events more colourful and lovely. 1. Tai Chan (Wedding Initiation) The very first custom for a Chinese wedding is "Tai Chan" which means the Groom's family would make a visit to the Bride's family to initiate the intention for wedding, check on the compatibility of the couple and discuss on the "terms & conditions". But in modern days, this step is basically just a casual meet up between the 2 families to discuss on dinner details or any special customs arrangement for different dialect group etc. This is the case due to usually both families had already meet up during the R.O.M after lunch and they both should be well notified and acknowledged of the union. So Wilson's parents came along to my home for this, and we had a good discussion on especially the dinner part. We are organizing ...
