我的婚礼筹备 MyWedding preparation process!

我终于甘愿回家啦!瓦哈哈!!本来打算十月头回家的我,还是舍不得离开他,他需要我的照顾,我也需要他的保护。(好恶哦!!)。我乘马航23 Oct 08, 6:45pm的班机(Dubai时间),抵达Penang 24 Oct 08, 10:15am (大马时间)。一共需要11小时吧!!妈妈会来接我。。。Em..不知打算去那里先呢??去找吃的??瓦哈哈!我有半年没有吃到炒果条了。。好想念哦!!

回来我最讨厌就是要去面对婚纱店,那班吸血鬼了。本来高高兴兴的回家,一旦想到她们我就很生气。我已经听了好多新娘说要小心婚纱店的人,没有想到我还是中招。真的就是千挑万选,还是搞到这样的局面!希望我和我妈会克服这个难关,就是不可以再加钱给她们赚了,她们已经吸了我们好多的血!!但是,我一旦又想到可以回家开始筹备婚礼,我的心情又开始好起来了。哈哈!!

今天,我在网上看了好多好多新娘,她们都自己DIY好多东西,例如:新娘车,姐妹手花,新娘花,婚宴小回礼。她们弄的好美,好有纪念性。比起,请人做更有纪念性哦!!我在羡慕着。。。我也打算DIY一些小物品,假如成功才放在这里让朋友欣赏,假如失败了呢?!我就会去跟花店的人预订花去。瓦哈哈!!我还需要跟摄影师,宴会负责人,帮我设计宴会场地的人还有乐团见个面,当面讲清楚所有当天我需要他们注意的东西。还要,去买过大礼的东西,安床需要的物品还有嫁妆。还要,跟朋友出来喝茶交流交流下,要不然!我看我都快没有朋友了!!哈哈!

当然,就是这两个月就是让我在家里,好好跟我爸爸,我妈妈珍惜相处的时间。再过两个月后,我就嫁人了。不过,我想将来,我还是会常回家的。因为我们很少在大马,一回大马,我想我会回家先。。。我未来家婆他们会介意吗???我不管这样多了。当然我父母比较重要。至于Mr.Quah,他就自己回家先咯。我们分头回自己的家!!哈哈我很坏的啦!!除非,家婆他们生气我一直回家,那我就很惨!!瓦哈哈!不会的啦,表自己吓自己!!

马来西亚,我回来见你咯!

Finally, I willing to back home! wahahah!! At first, I plan to back at early of October, but I still miss the day together with Mr.Quah here!! But now is totally late for my wedding preparation, so I have to go back to prepare it! I take MAS flight on 23 Oct 08, 6:45pm (Dubai's time) and will reach Penang at 24 Oct 08, 10:15am (Malaysia's time). Total need 11 travel hours!! Cause I need to transit to Penang in KLIA, have to wait 2 hours there..hu!hu!! have to wait so long!! But never mind la!! As long as I can reach home safely. My mom will come and fetch me!! Em...where to go first?? Really need to plan for it!!! Go to eat "Cha Kue Teow"??!! I half year never eat it already..miss it so much!!

The first thing I don't like when I back Malaysia is to face all the "vampire" in the bridal house. Actually, I had read a lots of bride-to-be say that, be aware all the sale girl in the bridal house, but I still face the same problem, although I though I will escape from this. Haizzz!! Hope, this time my mom and I will overcome this problem smoothly, I don't plan to add more money for them already, we are enough for that. But, when I think I can start to prepare my wedding, I start to feel happy and can't wait for it! wahahaha!!

Today, I had visit lots of wedding website and blog, I so admire their effort in preparing their own wedding. Most of the stuff they DIY by themselves. Haha..I get some idea from that too!! I also plan to DIY some stuff for it..hehe..If I success to complete it, I will post here and show everyone. If I didn't success for it...I will straight away go to the florist shop to order..wakakakak!! Besides, I need to meet up with my wedding photographer, the person who in charge for my wedding dinner, decoration and the live band. I need to tell them, what I need on my actual day. I also need to buy lots of thing too, all the Chinese traditional wedding stuff. Wa..need to spend lots of money too!! Besides, I also need to meet my friends, if not I will getting less and less friends already.

Of course, in these 2 month I will spend a very good time with my dad and my mom. I will get marry soon and most possibly no chance to back home to visit them. In addition, I will no stay in Malaysia for long time, so the time together with them are very less. SO, I plan once I back Malaysia, I sure will back my home first and Mr.Quah will go back to his own home. wahahahah!! I don't care anymore!! hehe

Malaysia..I am back lo!!

我们的结婚日子 our wedding date


话说我们的结婚日子,真的来的不容易。为什么呢?说来话长!!在2007年6月注册结婚,因为通书还没出版,老人家说要等到2008年2月份。等了8个月的通书终于出了。男方家看了第一个日子在2008年12月21日(冬至)。但我妈妈不太喜欢这个日子,原因是怕亲戚朋友忙着冬至不能来参加我们的婚礼。所以,我就提起勇气向未来家婆提出换日子的要求。所以,我妈妈,未来家婆还有我,一起到北海那里看新日子。配了我们俩的时辰八字,还有两家双亲的时辰八字,再加上考量Mr.Quah的工作时间表。我们选定了 2008 年12月29日 (星期一)。我总觉得我的结婚日子真的很艰难才能拿到!!

在说,我时常看了很多结婚网站,所列出的结婚日子都没有2008 年12月29日 ,还说这日子是不适合结婚的。当时的我真的很担心,难到我注定还要换多一次结婚日子??不是吧!!好麻烦哦!!换又不对,不换我们又担心。直到我看到了Lilian Too 的网站写着。Good day to Wed, 2008 年12月29日是个好日子。我俩的心才真正安下来!!哈哈!!终于!!

Our wedding date, is so difficult to get it!! Why?? you may ask!! This is really a long long story!! okok!! Still remember we register our marriage at Jun, 2007, Chinese old folk believe if you want to get next year wedding date you must wait after next year Chinese New years in February, when the new year of Chinese almanacs (or tong shing in chinese) is published then the old folk can check the auspicious day according to the book. So, I wait for 8 months to till 2008 Chinese New year. Finally, my future mother-in-law get the wedding date for us, is on 21/12/08 (winter solstice festival). But, my mother dislike this wedding date, cause she say on this day most of the relatives will pray and busy preparing their own celebration. So, our relatives might not able to attend my wedding, so she wants me to make a phone call to Mr.Quah's mom, to change the date. I am so worry and think this might trouble my future mother-in-law too. Finally, I call her and she did agree this explanation and agree to change the date. Luckily!! Then, the next day, 3 of us (my mom, mother-in-law, and I) went to Butterworth (i also don't know the actual place) ask one of the master to help us pick the wedding auspicious day. We gave him our "four pillars of our birthday" and both side parents birthday date also needed. Plus Mr.Quah working schedule. So, finally we decided on 29/12/08 (Monday).

After I get my wedding date, I read at wedding forum or website and found out 29/12/08 is not a good day to get marry. This information make us really down and worry. Do I need to change our wedding day again??? No!! Please don't change it again, I shout in my heart!!! Until one day, my brother sent me Lilian Too's world of feng shui website, and we found out she say 29/12/08 is a good day to wed. Finally, our stress are released and decided not to change the date anymore!! hahaha...now you understand what I mean my wedding date is very difficult to get it??





Red color in the calender indicate auspicious day, and the gray color indicate inauspicious day and the white color indicate indifferent day.

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

I read this article from my email this early morning. And I really enjoy the moral of the story!! Is is really useful for me!!

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the
disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
