It's been a month!

Yeah, 1 mth and a day from my last blog post!
Finally, some time for me to pen down a few words on what’s been happening to me lately.
Well, the wedding’s over! It went by so quick. Can’t believe after months of planning & thinking about the ‘big’ day, it just went by in a blink of an eye!
I hardly had time to catch my breath that day. WAM-BANG-BOOM. Done. Finito. Err, ok, that sounds like I’m describing some fast sex. My URL’s definitely ‘U’ rated so no, am not talking about sex! *grin*

My stress level was so high that I had sleepless nights especially a week before the wedding and with my adrenalins pumping so hard, it lasted for about 5 days after the wedding as well! I couldn’t sleep more than 4 hrs and my mind just kept playing back on what just happened. Seriously.

I have to admit that the day was about 80% of what I’ve dreamt of mths before the wedding. There were some hiccups but at the end of the day, I took a lot of people’s advice to just sit back and relax and just let it be. One thing’s for sure - I totally didn’t have time to write my speech. I was trying to cramp that few hrs before the wedding banquet i.e while getting my make up done. Well, BAD move. I could hardly think of anything then! But I did think of what I wanted to say weeks before but with all the stress, I just couldn’t recall any. The main part being what I wanted to describe about my beary Brad. I was speechless then and used whatever that came to my mind. I forgot to mention about what I thought of him when we got together, and what I think of him now, and about my move to down-under as well! How could I forget talking about that? Doh. Oh well, what’s over is over. I guess I’ll blog about it another time? My so called ‘speech’. *grin*

And then some helpers whom ended up not helping. My bestie along with Beary Brad’s bestman ended up running up and down. And even hrs before the wedding, Beary Brad was doing all the running as I couldn’t do anything since I had to stay up in the suite to get my make-up done. He had some photos where you could see how stress he was too!

The biggest upset of all - the hotel’s wedding planner/management. It’s bad. Although the wedding setting and environment was spectacular, I can’t say the same for the hotel’s wedding management. It was atrociously terrible as they lacked of supervision overall. Imagine, 1 week before my wedding and they did not even submit my floral details to the florist! Also, they wanted to meet me like 4 days before the wedding to finalise on items such as nbr of guest, table settings, agenda etc as they had OTHER appoinments prior to that day. I had to ask my kwai-lo hubby to call them up to literally express how dissapointed he was before they made time a week before the wedding to discuss those items. I seriously wouldn’t recommend anyone to have their wedding at Cyberview-Lodge unless you are some super VVIP (my guess is some datok or millionaire or celebrity) where only then, they would probably give you 100% attention.

But I am happy overall as I had good feedbacks from guests whom attended so far. A lot enjoyed the night and well, that’s definitely an important factor for me :)
I’ll be back with my wedding post soon and of course, including photos.

Till then, Happy new year!
