Time flies, it's close to 1+mth to my wedding!
My ex-boss asked me if I am excited that my wedding's getting closer day by day. Well, I never really thought about it as I was so busy just chasing my uncle for the cards, deciding on the band, and calling up people to ask if they can do this and that the past few days - all on top of my busy schedule at work.
My cards were supposed to be ready early this month but somehow, there were some hiccups and after much dilly-dally (not from me), I just received my cards last friday. BUT I received it without the envelope. Yes, I was told that they didn't have stock of the color that I wanted and thus only got my envelopes yesterday. It's way overdue as I had to send some over to BearyBrad too so I spent 2 hrs last night writing all the cards to my friends and colleagues., especially those which I need to post to.
Was supposed to work on a project last night, but couldn't so this morning I was way behind schedule :(
And now, I'm still in office just starting on the project that I was supposed to have completed by 5.30pm. It's now 9.32pm.
Sigh. It's gonna be a long night..........

CK's wedding
Sunday, 28th Oct - 1.45am
I’m sleepy but suddenly, felt like just typing a few words before I doze off to dreamland as I realised that I haven’t been blogging lately. I owe some of you guys stories of what’s been happening to me for the past few weeks!
Well, I just attended CK’s wedding dinner at JW Marriot a couple of hrs back. He had close to 50 tables and it’s definitely 1 of the biggest budget wedding that I’ve attended so far! I have to say that the food at JW Marriot’s pretty good. My company had our annual dinner at JW Marriot back in 2001, but I definitely don’t recall the food being this good! My fav of the nite has to be the codfish. They baked the top portion with honey and the fish was just baked to perfection.. Yummy!
CK & Ai We's wedding favor - a jar of honey!
He hired a live band which I am considering right now. It’s way over my budget but hell, they’re pretty good and the main person coordinating the band is not too bad - a young guy who’s really responsive compared to the band that I ‘kinda’ locked down. ‘Kinda’ as we verbally had an agreement but they didn’t ask for any deposit nor did they further bother contacting me to make further arrangement... So I’m really on the fence for this :(
Anyway, meeting up with Carmen and Noel was great. The last we saw each other was at Carmen’s wedding last year. Time flies! She still looked the same - well, maybe about more aunty-ish.... Haha! Kidding Carmen!! :P
She’s still the same ol’ Carmen!
Noel on the other hand has lost so much weight till he made me look like a giant next to him... It’s just weird seeing guys esp losing weight at our age. Usually it’ll be the other way round i.e. Guys tend to put on weight when they’re close to 30.. Hmmmm..
Noel, Me & Carmen
And I bumped into so many other familar faces where I couldn’t quite tie their faces to where exactly we met. CK was my college mate, we studied A-levels together. And then he did his accounting degree in Sheffield whereas me, in Manchester. But we did meet up twice or so in UK.. Plus some of his school and uni mate are also working in the same comp as me! That’s why it has been a nite of just talking to these familar faces using the standard type of greetings!
Me, Esther & Carmen
CK’s wedding was interesting - well, how can it not be for a big budget wedding rite! He had a live band, some salsa dancers entertaining us, and CK himself sang ‘Just the way you are’ to Ai We (his bride) as well.. CK can sing! Woo! New discovery for some of us :D
And then the usual change of bride gowns, speeches and slide shows to top the list of entertainment.
Sadly, I didn’t get to take any pics at all with the groom and bride! I left right before the dessert dish when the groom was going around doing the ‘yum-sing’s.
Me entertaining myself while stuck in jam in KL on the way back (while on the phone as well!)
Nevertheless, I had a good time. Good food + good entertainment. Both that combination’s definitely memorable for me!

Kimi's THE man!
Yesterday's final F1 race was 1 of the most nerve-wrecking race ever as 3 drivers (Hamilton, Alonson & Kimi) had a chance to be the F1 world champion for 2007!
As Hamilton had a 5 point lead over Alonso and 7 points over Kimi, all he had to do is ensure he finishes ahead of them or just stay above 4th/6th placing at least if either Alonso or Kimi ended up winning the race..
My eyes were glued to the TV right from the start, esp when Hamilton was pushed to 8th place from 2nd. And then his gear box problem just made my whole nite brighten up, as he fell back to 18th placing.. but when he started to fight back and with the back-cars starting to crash out somehow, my heart was just beating abnormally... anything can happen during a race, so I was just crossing my fingers the whole nite that the front cars and esp Kimi's car would be fine. And thank God, it was super fine!

And thank God, it was super fine!
Kimi won it, where else Alonso was 3rd and Hamilton @ 7th.. Just freaking amazing! I definitely didn't think Kimi had a chance going into the race with a 7 point gap with Hamilton to grab the world champion title.
My 5 hrs sleep last nite's (or should I say in the morning...) definitely worth it!!
KIMI RULES! Yay!!!

I had a little break
I was so tied up with work that I didn't have time to blog about me going away for a week to Sydney i.e. Oct 9th - 16th!
My boss retired last week and I had the honour to do a video montage for him, so in addition to work, I spent my additional 'spare' blog time on completing the video editting right before I left for Sydney on the 9th.
It was madness I tell ya due to the time constraint! I practically slept for 4-5 hrs for about 4 days prior to the 9th Oct.
Anyhow, it's all good as my boss & a few of my colleagues mentioned that the video was awesome! It's nice to know that the sleepless nites paid off :)
So much to blog about my trip.. will continue in my next post as I need to catch up on my work first!

Pre-Wed photos #5 - It's a wet nite
Just realised that I've left out a post on my pre-wed photos in Sept! Well, I guess blogging once a week completely swept that away from my mind! Oopsy.
So.. what made me chose Vogue collections for my pre-wedding album?
I have to say, it was really their nite concept. They were the only studio which offered nite shots in their package and since I like being 'different' in some ways or another, their nite concept totally won me over :)
Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs around 7-ish when we were at Putrajaya. The nite shots actually covered 'sunset' shots overlooking 1 of the putrajaya bridge and we didn't manage to take that :(
That was also 1 of the highlights in their album series...
It was drizzling when we took the shots below that I was kinda cautious over the fact that my make-up would smudge (esp mascara) and I might end up looking like a panda!
Nevertheless, it turned out fine and I loved it :)
There is another pose where me and BearyBrad were kissing and with the rain effect etc, it looked soooo romantic! Well, I won't post that here at the moment.. you guys would just need to wait for my wedding day to see that OR wait for my 'post-wedding' posts for those whose not coming!
