Haz & I attended Shawn's wedding last night.
She looked gorgeous! And skinny, of course.
Both Haz and I were envious of her waistline of maybe... 22? It could be smaller, that's just a wild guess.
We were seated too far to take any photos. The photos would turn out minuscule.
And she had 80 tables.
Yes. 80 tables.
They managed to go round every table to have the photographs taken.
Which was quite an amazing feat!

Anyway, I'm in school now. The TA was supposed to be here cos I smsed him last Thursday and he said he would be in school on Monday but guess what?
I'm in school and the guy's on leave.
Oh well, I'm not lugging the lappie home.
It's sooooo freaking heavy.
Thank goodness I drive.
Guess I'll just have to wait till next Monday and join the rush.

I'm getting real sleepy now.
I slept late last night and didn't have a good night's sleep.
I woke up at every slight noise, which is very unlikely for me!
When I sleep, the world is dead to me.
So with 5 hours of sleep and troubled sleep for that matter, I'm yawning away now.

School's starting soon.
This thought hit me last week and I was so depressed when I thought about how little time I have left till the 29th.
It really sucks big time.

I can't wait for that time.
Prime time.

The painters are here to paint my room today.
After today, I can finally move my bookshelf to that corner and start unpacking all the boxes!
I went for Colour Creation instead of the pre-set colours so I spent slightly more on the paint job but at least I get the colour that I want. *beamz*

I just received an e-mail from the school telling everyone to head to school to get the new printer installed on our lappies. I'm thinking of heading to school before the 29th in order to avoid the crowd and the rush. Maybe if the paint job is completed earlier today, I may just pop by.
That reminds me, I need to drop Qai a message to tell him that I'm popping by.
There's no point in me coming down and he's not available.
If it's not today, it has to be Monday since I'm packed the rest of this week.

Anyway, Shawn's dinner is coming and I have no idea what to wear.
Should I wear black? Or should I wear my blue dress?
I'm looking forward to it because I can get to meet Haz and tell her some stuff! And get to touch-see her Dior bag!
Hehe.
Which reminds me... the LV clutch? or the Fendi clutch?
Okay, I'm acting like it's my wedding. Too worried about what to wear, which bag to use...
But I guess everyone gets excited when there's an occassion to dress up... right?

When the wardrobe comes on Friday, I'll sort out all my clothes (again) and decide on what to wear.
So exciting!

But before that, it's meeting Frinn tomorrow and Haslina on Friday!
Yay!

Update: Today's our 2nd engagement anni! I just realised that!

I'm back from a trip with the family to Malacca.
Contrary to popular belief that Malacca's super boring (I thought so myself), I did quite enjoy myself cos there were quite a number of things to buy since they're so much cheaper in Malaysia.
Contact lenses, spectacles, ... were cheap. And so was Mango since they were having a sale too.
And of course there was the Baba-Nyonya district which had lots of lovely food and wearables.

Now that I'm back, the room job can be continued.
I planned it such that it would be done by this Friday! Yay!

Okay, there's tons to do. Gotta get up and get cracking.
I know... It's only 7.30 in the morning.

And I'm still down with flu and cough since before the trip.
But I think the honey's helping.
Yum!

I'm about almost done with the details.
And I've finally bought a mattress for the bed. Mattresses these days don't come cheap.
The curtains are in.
The light is coming in today. Painting will be done next week.
All in time before the arrival of the wardrobe on the 22nd.
But seriously, I will not be able to purchase all the furniture stuff without Mum's assistance.
Really thankful for that.
I keep worrying about not having enough money but Mum always reassures me that I have enough.
Thanks Mum for being there when I'm feeling so stressed up over all the details.

I never thought that I had to do so much stuff to the room for the wedding.
Part of the stress comes from Mum but I never tell her that. I learn to shut up and understand the rationale behind why things are done a certain way (at least with my Mum).
That's part of growing up.
Even though she motioned the idea of changing everything, the freedom of choice still lies with me. But I'm not very good at making choices so I still consult Mum.
Mum's my best friend, although some may find that hard to believe.
She's the friend that I talk to, ask opinions, shopping partner... And she's always there for me.
She's the best.
I can already imagine how much I'll miss her when we stay on our own.

Speaking of shutting up, I think that's the type of relationship that I have with certain people.
Because I really don't know what to talk about.
And so the best way is to just shut up. I can already imagine the awkwardness.
But it's for the best. I'm sure.

I've been feeling quite reserved ever since Saturday.
I've been quiet, only responding when I've been approached first.
None of that she-bang spontaneity.
I can't seem to push that feeling out of my system.
I'm beginning to think...
Oh I don't know... Sighz.

The lights people are coming soon.
I gotta go...
Till the next update.

I can't wait to meet up with my 2 girlfriends this Thursday!
Coincidentally, they both thought of Thursday to meet up.
Meeting Haz for lunch and Haslina for dinner.
It's definitely a no-no day for diet. Haha...
But I still have to watch what I eat.
I'm ashamed to say that I've only ran once these 2 weeks.
I couldn't get up this morning cos I had a super tiring weekend of shopping!

The family took a trip down to Sitex on Saturday.
The 2 kiddos indulged in ipod classic, which I have to admit, is pretty cool with colour and video screening and stuff. But I don't see the point in getting myself one cos I hardly take the public transport anymore.
And the bro's holding on to my ipod before he got this new gadget so now, I can finally take back what's rightfully mine. Heh.
Their previous ipods died on them. I seriously wonder why.

Anyway, I got myself a bigger item, a much bigger item. Because Mum thinks it was cheap and it was worth the buy.
I have to agree, it is cheap but when I have to fork out that amount of money from my own pocket, it's a huge ouch. It's an ouch cos I'm not really into these gadgets.
Still, it's bought, I like it now (I was skeptical at first) and I'm waiting for the people to come and fix it.
I think the fiance's going to love it too.
I've not told him yet, I feel like keeping it a surprise until well, he comes over I guess.

That was just Saturday. On Sunday, we were out from morning till evening.
It started off with breakfast and a movie, then to town.
Bought the covers for the bed set and my wedding shoes.
Plus a trip down with Mum is not complete without a peek at The Bags.
Think Mum's coming home today with a new bag. =)
I have seriously inherited Mum's love for shopping, especially bags!
I'm happy to just buy, buy, buy even if it's not for myself.
Mum can totally relate to this.

Speaking of bags, LV has a new item in store.
If it wasn't for the wedding, I'd have bought it.
It's sooooo pretty! *squealz*

Okay, maybe after the wedding. Hehehe...
