Less than a week to the outdoor photoshoot now and I am starting to feel...
... ridiculously nervous.
... ridiculously nervous.
Amacam cakap?! Baru photoshoot dah nervous! Ni belum actual wedding day tau :/
A few days ago, our photographer gave me the link to his Sessions Stylebook
for pointers on what to wear, what to do and what to expect from the
photoshoot but as useful as it is, I am seriously a big bundle of nerves
right now lah kan.
No
thanks to all these annoying little thoughts running through my mind!!!
Stuff like - I haven't lost much weight! What if I look like a ikan
paus darat??? What if I can't take instructions properly??? Will Zak
hate me??? What if I cannot pose for nuts or for freaking balls??? What
if Saliheen and I look awkward sebelah each other?!!! Will I get an
anxiety attack?! What if I look super stupid in my dress!!!
Oh, and talking about the dress.
Received my package last week and I was obviously super excited to rip off the package! But I tried the dress on and was quite disappointed when I tried it on because the bodice is a tad too thick for my liking (adding more bulk to my already bulky frame haiz) + sleeves were not as fitting as I'd like :(
My supermummy is working on the dress now, I haven't tried it on since she's not yet done tinkering with it but hopefully it'll work out fine by this weekend.
That's my supermommy and her trusty old sewing machine to the rescue.
Anyway,
in happier news, I am psyched to report that I recently won a
complimentary 1-night stay at Orchard Parksuites' 1-Bedroom Loft!!!!!
Thank you, Nuffnang SG! :D
We
initially thought of using this as our staycation after the wedding but
pikir pikir balek macam wasted gitu kan so we'll most probably use this
to throw a nice little get together for our orang orang kuat after the
wedding instead. Yay yay!
And
as with most other couples who are getting married and hoping to go for
their honeymoons with the next few months, we headed to NATAS Fair 2013
over the weekend to recce deals for our honeymoon!!!!! We went pretty
late on Saturday because he needed to sleep after reaching home from
camp at noon + I was out for jalan raya with my primary school friends
so we were pretty tight on time.
I've mentioned in my previous entries (here, here and here) that we've been planning between Maldives and Eastern Europe for our honeymoon trip... and can you believe it? Even after months and months and months
of discussing and asking for opinions from our friends via social media
(thanks for the input, guys!), we still couldn't reach to a decision on
our honeymoon destination bila dah ada kat sana.
Okay fine, I couldn't reach to a decision on our honeymoon destination.
My
mat was already inclined towards Maldives after we spoke to a few
agencies but I was still stuck between the two. At last macam bodoh sak
diri kat tengah tengah dunia - Maldives brochures in one hand and
Eastern Europe brochures in another - oblivious to the throngs of people
milling around me because all I wanted to do was stop myself from being
so wishy-washy, stand still so I can let my thoughts process freely and
make a goddamn decision.
Took me 10 minutes to finally declare
my final decision before we rushed back to the counter of the agency who
gave us a reasonable quote for that particular trip and was told... "Sorry ah, just now I give you the quote actually cannot because the accommodation you want is we don't have one"
Mak dia peh datuk.......................................
Dah
penat penat weigh pros and cons, sampai dah discuss beribu kali macam
dalam parliament, dah shortlist maha shortlist then you come tell me
this?!?!?! Apek, you cut my heart deep deep, you know?! You dah lama
hidup eh apek?!
We
left his counter to reconsider our options - my mamat didn't want to
tergopoh gapah letak deposit for anything else in our frustrated state.
He said we shouldn't rush it that night and suggested coming back the
next day so we can make a well-informed decision. I agreed with him, of
course - ni decision bukan pakai duit berpuluh puluhan aje oi, ini
decision makan duit beribu okay. Must chop confirm guarantee maha maha
punya!
So
we went back home, did more research (while on the phone with each
other) and went back to the NATAS fair the following day with the
intention of asking for quotes from three other agencies that we didn't
visit the day before "just to puaskan hati".
Our
first stop was Chan Brothers - mainly because they were the nearest to
the directory. After about half an hour of waiting in line, we were
attended to by a very nice young woman who spoke very well, knew what
she was talking about and was extremely patient with us.
We gave her our list of short-listed accommodation and she gave us the relevant brochures to look at + a few others that weren't
on our list for our consideration. Discussed prices, details, dates and
terms and conditions and we ended up confirming the trip... with
accommodation that was suggested by the Chan Brother's staff instead
haha! This kind of proactiveness, I like. Thumbs up, toes up.
Anyway, kita pun dah malas nak gi tanya other agencies lagi ah hahaha.
Omgahhhhh can't believe our honeymoon is finally settled!!!!!
Okay,
our honeymoon comfirmation is making me even more excited than before
for November to come roll around!!!!! I'm also very happy that we don't
have to push the honeymoon back for whatever reason so we'll get to
enjoy our honeymoon a few days after our wedding :D
And yay yay, ada countdown baruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Hahahahaha. That's his extremely pleased face after successfully annoying me.
Kadang kadang macam masih tak boleh percaya I'm marrying this silly bugger in... less than two and a half months' time. Waktu oh waktu, kenapa engkau laju?
