preparations for the wedding
the past 3 days, i haven't been going to school. we were rushing all the last minute doorgifts we decided to get, as well as the decor for the car. haha.
here are some pictures that i have taken.
FIRST UP! a game!

guess which one is made by sean, made by me and made by us?
L to R : Honey A, Honey B, Honey C
answer:
Sean = Honey A, Me = Honey C, Us = Honey Bothers!

here's sean diligently adding ribbons to the doorgifts. honeysticks! =)


the honeysticks we're giving away as doorgifts! sean did the ribbons for the honeysitcks and i did the decorations on the honey sticks (wires and paper flowers)and the basket.

the car decor! the 2 mini bouquets at the end are used for the door handles. made by darling sean! haha. i did the middle piece, that's going to be on the front of the car. hehe =)
ok, that's all the pictures i have taken for the prep work. didn't have much time to take photos when we were making all the different things. haha.
yesterday, we went to the ROM with both our parents after sending my brother off to India (school field trip!) we went to collect our wedding cert (nice and pink. haha.) and certain documents that we need to hand over to the solemnizer. haha. after that, his parents drove us to the temple cos they had wanted to go there too, while my dad sent my mum to work. but his dad didn't have coupons so sean and i waited in the car while his parents went, after they came back, we went ourselves (don't know where his parents went) met my mum there and my mum couldn't believe the lots we both got.
totally different lots but similar explaination. in short, it's said that we're meant to be and that we can get married at any time, be it 10-20 years later or whatever, but we shouldn't rush. hehe. my mum was in a minor shock when she read and interpreted our lots for us. haha. then we waited for my mum to pray then we talked a while and she went for work while sean and i had lunch (or rather he) and walk around a bit before we went home.
bought a few more items for doorgifts. haha. but this time round, it's for the small kids. haha. i realised that some kids might not like honeysticks, so i told sean that we should pack sweets for the kids. end up, we not only bought sweets and candies, we bought bubbles for them and!! GLOW STICKS! can be worn on the wrist. haha. so went back, i pack everything while he did his car. then slack a bit, went to eat then came back and slept for a while. then he woke me up, in the pleasant way, and after slacking and talking a bit, we went to play maple story. haha. it's quite boring, but he enjoys it and i kinda like running after those HUGE mushrooms, which he is quite scared of. haha. then played until about 10pm, we walked over to blk85 to have ba chor mee. haha. then went home, he tried to get online to play maple, but my laptop had some problems with VPN (AGAIN!) so he took like 40+ minutes to figure out how to stop my vpn from connecting. haha. but by then it was too late already, so we went to sleep. haha.
woke up around 4am to use the washroom, and saw his shirt soaking in the water! he was suppose to wear that today to go work! so i woke him up, gently, to tell him and we both decided to get up earlier so that he could go home to change into a shirt. because of that, i couldn't sleep. i keep wanting to get up to blow dry the shirt, but he kept saying no need. and made me sleep. haha.
anyways. reached class SUPER early today. how about before 7.30am?? when class starts at 8.30am??
ok, thinking of going to rebond my hair today, after school............

laming around
i was bored yesterday, so i went to this website to play. haha!
i started out wanting something sweet and innocent. but somehow as i was typing and designing this simple little art piece, it got kinda.. haha. well, you can see it for yourself. but this doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with my current relationship with sean, nor is it because i'm feeling low. i was doing it blankly, blank in the mind that is. haha. it just turned out like that. guess it's the paintbucket that got me carried away. haha!
anyways! 9 more days of singlehood left for me! woooooot! hehe.

this is just a captures picture. click

last minute design
hehe. i was sick of my previous background. i found that it was quite disgusting after a while cos of the bad blending. haha.
so here's the latest design.
and yes, recognise it, cos when you receive an invitation to a house warming, you'll know it's form me. haha. yes, i designed it for my invitation card and i decided to use it for my blog too.
wahaha!

i've crumbled. i've lost it. and i doubt i'll ever get it back.
yesterday, after my presentation, i went to the ladies and called sean. the minute i heard his voice, i broke down and cried. i told him about my facilitator and what kind of shit i've been getting from him, for the past 2 weeks. i couldn't take it anymore. i seriously needed to get out of school. i don't want to come to school for days with cognitive anymore. i refuse.
met connie after i came out of the cubicle, told her briefly what happened and i went back to class. sean had told me earlier that he would come to pick me up. so i just went back to class, chat on msn, browe through friendster, did my RJ on word until he messaged me those sweet, sweet words i've been waiting to received. "
baby, i've reached already. at the usual place."
i quickly pack my things and left even though another group was presenting. i couldn't be bothered to stay anymore. i will not stay at a place that brings me misery.
went back to bedok and reminded him that he should go and have his car inspected before december 9 (yes, i know it's still a long way. but he tends to forget.) so he said might as well go today since there's time. so we did. haha. it's so cute! all the lanes made for inspection of cars are like so cute! haha. i've never seen it before, so yes, now i'm talking like an idiot about it. haha. but it's cute lah! haha. and yay! less than 30minutes, we were out of there. needless to say, he passed! wahaha! or rather, his car passed the test. haha. yay!
so went back to his place. slack a bit then i did my RJ and evaluation while he played with the rabbits. after i finished, he started to mark so i took out his stack of papers with the intention of helping him mark. then he asked me where i prefer to go and mark, stay at his house or my place. so we went to my place cos since my grandpa's death, his room has been used to for doing work or studying. there was a big table inside with chairs, so might as well.
so reached my place and we fooled around with felix's guitar (he hasn't tuned it anyway) and sean was playing and singing all the songs he know. haha! so fun, i tell you! then i took over and said, people like me who don't what's what also can make a tune out of it. which i did try. haha! he say it sounds like those old chinese show, when the demons are coming out, then the person with the gu zhen as a weapon will play frantically. haha! basically, a nice way to say that i can't play a guitar. haha.
so we started marking from 6 plus till about 8+ then we walked over to block 85 for dinner. claypot soy sauce chicken with rice! muahaha! and ah-balling for dessert! WAHAHA! in LOVE with food :P then came home and continued marking. haha. marked halfway then my sister, brother and parents came home. mom came in to check on us, wondering what we were doing and got a shock when she saw me marking as well. WAHAHA! fun i tell you. so yah lah. mark until abour 11+ then sean saw sonia playing the show "chi zi cheng long" (we taped it) the last episode, so he went to watch. i packed up the place and joined them. after the show finished, we slack a bit and cos it was getting too late, he went back and then we sms for a while, then we both went to sleep. wahaha.
aiyoh. mabel's getting very long-winded. wahaha!

while they're out on a car rally....
sean's in the midst of power98's Carvivor Rally. i wish i was participating it too... i have taken part in various contests with them but i've never been on a car rally before... but from the looks of it, sean and his other colleague, daniel tok part in ALL the contest we had taken part in! haha.
here's what i remember of the different contest we have gone for and who took part. some sort of amazing race stye.
National Heritage Board Contest: yanting, daniel, sean and myself (i took steven's place cos he had sore eye that day)
Bedok View Secondary Car Rally: yanting, daniel, steven and sean (it's a school thing, so i can't take part)
SMRT Challenge: daniel, sean and myself (only 3 members per team. yanting, steven and his gf (val) didn't get selected)
Power98 Carvivor Rally: yanting, daniel, steven and sean (apparently, they didn't even consider me to be on their team. bleah! all because i don't drive and they all do.... i need my license now!)
yup! they're all fun. and i wish i could take part in all! haha. but sigh, can't. limitations...
anyways, yesterday i started to work for Astoria again. it was BORING to be stuck at the paya lebar brunch. no food, no customers (there were a few in the 7 hours i worked). just me and the items and my colleague, carol. BORING! sean dropped by after his tuition to have a look at the place. haha. and he said that one of the water fountain looks nice and said he wants to put it in the house! yay! i kinda like it too! but i prefer this small one which is so zen-like. when i have the time, i'll put up pictures of it all. haha! i'm currently using the house computer so yah. maybe later i'll go use the HP laptop to upload the pics. it's is so much more user friendly than my RP corrupted fujitsu laptop. haha!
so after he walked around and have a look at the shop, he left. and i started taking photos of myself in the shop and the fountains we're considering to get! haha. after work, he came to pick me up for dinner and we went to parkway, where my mum said i can get my tiara for my wedding day. she said that the flower tiara wounldn't look nice cos of the dress and the jewelry i'll be wearing that day. so she suggest that we go and get those crystal tiaras at parkway. haha. WHICH WE DID! haha. yay! haha! and then we started to look at stones. not any other stones by stones like RUBY! which i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going to get!! i like his ruby and he say he feels like his ruby is no longer with him, cos he say the ruby seems to be 'calling out' to me. it's like that i guess. i've seen SO many rubies but i still love his alot! it's pinkish like and sparkling. haha. it's not too big, but not too small either. it's so nice! he say when he gets another ruby (a bigger one) he'll give me his, by either custom making it into a ring for me (YAY!) or have it nicely done up as a necklace. yay! yay! yay! but ok, i shall not be too greedy. maybe there's another ruby that's really calling out to me. for now, it's save save save!! haha. oh. in case you're wondering why another ring, it's because the current rings we're going to use for our ROM is just temporary. haha! but yah lah. i'm a pampered and spoilt girl and my darling is the cause of it. haha. but yah, we're going to have our rings custom made.. after we find our stones and the design we want.. i think it's going to take a while... he said he took like 2-3 years to find his ruby!! omg! haha. but it's fine by me. haha. you have to wait for good things to happen =)
so enough about me ranting about all these stones. i'm like in love with all these now (his fault again! haha!) so yah. i had wanted to try on my dress with the jewelry and the tiara, but i can't cos i'm having my menses and i'm afraid of soiling it. THAT'S THE LAST THING I WANT! haha! so yah, will try it another day. but when i put on the tiara to show my mum, she said it was beautiful and then she took out the jewelry to see if it matched. and it did!! wahaha. can baby pick or what? he picked out the jewelry, he picked out the rings, he picked out the tiara. all i picked was my dress! which he sort of picked out too. haha. damn, i need to get some elegant dressing style in me. haha. but anyways, yah, my outfit is complete. sean bought 4 shirts the other day. all in different colours. now he's deciding which of the 4 to wear. but i think have to wait until the day we get his pants. haha! so yes, last thing left.. his pants. and everything's settled. YUP YUP!!
oh. one more. the flowers. and one more, deco on his car.. haha. ok. still have much more to do over the next 2weeks and 5-6days. haha. oh no! i'm scared that we wouldn't have enough time! wait. let me plan now...
flower bouquet: to get on the day itself so that it'll be FRESH! hehe. (it'll be my 2nd flower bouquet from sean! and my entire life!)
car wash: to be done on the night before cos he's going to liqour, wax or whatever la. haha. shine his car. haha.
car deco: to be done on the day itself (luckily our ROM time is in the evening :P it's nicer for a by the beach wedding right?! haha.)
buying of deco: need to be done ASAP! over the next week, we'll go scan for deco. yup yup!
his pants: NEED TO GET IT DONE ASAP TOO! ok. same time as deco. over the next week.
erm.. if i left anything out, can you all please remind me? i'm kinda a goon now since i'm barely awake. brain's not quite functioning yet. haha.
ok. i need to go and find food and calm my excitement down a bit. haha!

bumming around waiting
class was over about 45 minutes ago. am currently waiting for my baby to arrive. haha. he's picking me up cos he's in the area! yay!
anyways, dawn introduced me janice's lj. she's andrew fang's wife. and my lord, she doesn't look like she's 26. she has such a baby face. which is kinda cute for certain guys. i remember a friend who's into girls with babyface. haha.
hmm.. reading janice's lj and how andrew proposed to her and how their ROM went.. i suppose everyone's romantic level is just different. some appear to be more romantic than the other, but when it actually happens to you, yours beat theirs hands-down. it's not about having the most romantic settings or having the biggest diamond ring i guess. it's more of just having the feelings for that someone you wish to settle down with for.
i'm not sure if i'm making any sense. but the non-elaborated way sean proposed to me made me feel that the way he proposed to me was special. i haven't really told people how it went.. so well, let's just say i want to remember that time, that moment, when he proposed to me..
we were just relaxing on his bed, thinking of our future. his parents were outside telling him to move out so that he and his brothers would stop having conflicts. he went in and out of the room a few times to talk to his parents. when he finally laid down on the bed, with me lying on him, he started stroking my hair, hugging me close and gave me a kiss. then he turned my face to face his and asked me, "will you marry me?" you wouldn't know how shock i was. i was just literally SMILING with no words. haha! it was only later that i said "YES!" and nodded my head furiously. haha. no rings, no big hoo-ha, no nice clothes. we were in our pyjamas. he in his boxers and me with my singlet and shorts. haha. yes, i found it romantic. it was special to me. and i love it =)
just another 2 weeks+ =))
