While we're buried under the heavy load of wedding preps, somehow we did not realise how we've neglected our parents. I do feel bad for neglecting my mum somehow. Although we tried our best to involve them in our preps, but many things we still prefer to make our own decisions.

This thought just came to my mind while reading some other people's wedding blog..."From a mama bird view"

"Seems like yesterday you were still my baby. I can still remember how i feel when I know you exist. I hurried about finding the softest leaves and sturdiest branches to build the new nest for you. I wouldn't want you to be hurt by portruding branches. I soon found myself counting down the days, eagerly expecting your arrival. The day you were born.

It wasn't unexpected but neither was I well prepared for it. That's how you're like...always giving me surprises. But I love you all the same. I tried my best to give you the best of everything I could...I feel bad for not being able to give you the best sometimes...seeing your disappointed look makes my heart wanna cry. You got into trouble sometimes as you're growing up...I had to scold you for it even though I don't want to. In my mind, this is how I protect you from the harsh world outside. Never for once did I stop worrying how you'll be if I should leave you one day...

Without me realising...your feathers have grown...it has grown to be prettier than mine. I taught you how to flip your wings and fly...you were scared at first...you ask me, "mommy, how is the world outside like.?" I smiled.

You tried once, twice, thrice.....then you were able to fly! You flipped your beautiful wings and soar into the blue sky. I am too weak by now to fly that high....so I stayed on to watch you. You flew further and further away...till I couldn't see you anymore. I realised then, my baby is gonna leave me someday. You'll build your own nest with someone you love....you'll be happy.

The day finally came...I am aware of your new home...you told me bits and pieces of the someone you love....you begin to ask less about me. As expected...you said, mummy...i am leaving this place soon...but I still love you. Take care mummy. At that, you soared into the sky again and disappeared.

I'll forever miss you, my baby.

Hehe...this is written by me....dedicated to my mummy who loves me so much...even though I'll be married soon...I will surely miss her a lot..just as much as she misses me.

Been a while since I last blog here. I realised I spend more time reading other people's blog than writing my own. Hehe.

Anyway here's an update of what happened recently.

1. I managed to sell my 1year+ laptop to a poly student. Seems like a computer idiot to me. First day after transaction, he complained that I cheated him on the processor speed, "hey, the processor is only 333MHz, why you told me 1GB?" I was like, "Huh? But when I bought it its 1GHz." I went online to search for the detailed specs..and true enough...I was right. So I msg him the next day, "Gimme your email add, I'll email u the URL with the EXACT specs." He simply replied, "Oh ya, i checked, its 1GB." This continued for a few days...with complaints like the RAM was not as high as I said it is, the wireless card slot is not working (huh?) etc. But thank God, have not heard from him in days...he still owes me $25 though. I offered to let him pay me back this amt at a later date cos he is broke. So much for trying to be a helpful Yahoo Seller.

2. The Bxxxh that refused to return me my dress finally agreed to meetup and pass me back my dress. But to my horror! It was covered with tiny black spots. Tried bleaching it for a week..but the spots are still there. I wonder if its her way of taking revenge. When I asked her on the spot, she just said, "sorry, I din check. Let me know if the spots can't be removed." Anyway, I couldn't care less...don't think I wanna go through the hassle of arguing with her again. Shall chose not to review my comments abt her on the auction instead. Just glad I got back my dress at least. I was so prepared to never see that dress again. Just pray that I can remove those spots. Maybe I'll dye the dress black...keke..see how.

3. Decided to purchase a Apple MacBook with Intel Core Dua Processor 2GHz. Cool~ I can pay by installments using Credit Card. With the integrated DVD drive, I'll be able to bring it along on my honeymoon and watch DVDs all day long. Yay! Will be able to dl watever fotos I took during the trip too. Can't wait for SITEX to come soon.

4. This was suppose to be on my wedding blog..but think I'll post here instead. Had a major quarrel with mum during my Guo Da Li last sunday. Cause of it..money again...wad else. Shall not go into the details..but anyway problems is solved when I metup with her yesterday...now I still love my mum lots! Love you mummy!

5. Me and dear accomplished many tasks last sat...went to collect our tour package vouchers, purchase stuff for the GDL, even had time to pop by IKEA where I use my voucher to get us a new curtain...bright ORANGE...looking at the color alone cheers me up. It'll surely look good again our balcony door on a bright saturday afternoon. After IKEA, we popped by Mitsubishi Showroom to take a peek at my dreamcar Mitsubishi-i!! We spotted one at our neighbourhood carpark..and oogle at it everytime we pass by...so I suggested we visit the showroom to have a good look at the interior. Even dear fell in love with it instantly...he has always been supportive of my decisions..but this is the first time he fall in love with the same car as me. We even got the chance to go for a quick test drive...wat can I say...we're definately going to own one in time to come. Hope the prices drop pretty soon...so that we can afford one soon. I wanted it in white...dear wasn't too convinced at first..but when he saw the test drive car which coincidentally happen to be in white, he was convinced. Keke. The interior even had a speedometer window which looks like the shape of mickey mouse...overall, I love it...not only is it cute, its also powerful..the features are fantastic too. Keyless remote system, tinted windows, sports rim...dream*

6. Lastly, I am officially counting down 33 days to my BIG day. Pray that everything turns out well...don't rain for that day cos I wanna ride in my convertible...no PMS....don't fall sick etc. Looking forward to the honeymoon trip that follows...will surely post lotsa pictures here!

Wish List 2007

I know I'm hopeless...I really am..but I can't help it. That's me..can't live without some materialistic stuff to look forward to. Now is only November but I've already got my 2007 wishlist worked out..and given my character..I'll want to get them asap. Hopefully I will be richer in the new year..perhaps with a better paying job? Or a promotion cum pay rise? I dunno..anyway here's my list:

1. iPod Nano (Wish fulfilled, courtesy of HB..he even got me a 4GB, actually I am happy enough with a 1GB)

2. Apple MacBook 1.8GHz (They changed its name, originally was ibook..then it'll link with the other items on my wishlist. But anyway, hope to get it cos it looks so cool and also becos I just sold away my grumpy old laptop)

3. Mitsubishi-i (The only car I ever wanted after the SMART car which is not available in SG, only white, red or black for me pls. They even have a convertible version, but guess its not available in SG either.)

4. Epson All-in-One..really need one of this..badly.

5. My first Christmas Tree (Wish fulfilled, courtesy of HB again...we had a fun experience searching for this tree & its decoratives.)

6. More dresses...(i have a thing for dresses recently, cos its fuss tree and you can just slip it on and go to work. Have the intention to start a biz just selling dresses. But seems like many people is already doing it..so probably when I am free then I'll think of a good business plan.)

7. A revamp for our house maybe..we really need to change away the floor tiles and some other stuff.

8. Complete my piano lessions..hopefully will be able to pay one complete classical/pop song.

That's all..again, not a lot..but kinda expensive to fulfill all.
