did some really domestic tasks like……….. buy lunch for my husband, vacuum the floor, wipe the kitchen countertop, hang the laundry….. lol… all things i need not do for the past thirty over years! i am not really sure i can make it all up the standard of david yap… his cleanliness standard is rather high!… i asked him if he'd chose the right wife? cos i might not be able to achieve "the good wife" standard .. to be honest.
married life
one thing i discovered "after the dust has settled" … is that we have very different "time zones"… i wake up early, he wake up late, i sleep early, he sleep late, i eat at breakfast time, lunch time and dinner time, while he eats at "after finish work time"… which usually spells as late lunch or supper time lol… by then I'm very hungry and my hands starts shivering and i start to be mang chang d! hahahaha…
more discovery coming up…
Getting Married ...
Well.. NOV 09, 2013 came and left… in a brief moment..
before the day arrive, i was wishing that it will be over soon so i can stop adjusting details for the day… and during the day, i was trying to do everything within time frame and do as much as i can to achieve the most of the day in my sickly condition, popping fisherman's friend the whole day to stop my coughing, by night, i wish it's over so i can go home and rest… now that the day has past for a couple of weeks, looking back, i am still amazed at how God provided and how things fall into place and watching the video highlight over and over again still bring back strong emotions.
i still remember that in the morning, i was all nervous and jittery awaiting the guys to arrive. Coordinating so many weddings before but when it's my turn, i thought that i would have been calm and collected but in the end i was also emotional and don't know what to expect. Even though I know what's the plan and the itineraries, yet i have no idea the emotions that came with the day, came when David walk in with the flowers…
the church ceremony flew past like a breeze. i was just following orders and just moving along without much thought what's next or how to be next… all the way until after the ceremony and i realized that my feet was in pain cos of the high heels! lol.
i don't know if i spoke too much for the speech but i "just do it" only and be done with that part of the ceremony and hopefully did not offend anyone. =P
after that was the bride's side tea ceremony. that was almost disastrous.. hahaha… i told everyone to go to the west wing but then the ceremony was in the east wing and the room was unprepared… opssies…. not sure if the family will be upset but then i can't do much on the spot d.
after that we some more travelled to my photographer's studio to take some studio shots! i think i was dead tired from the coughing and the fatigue of the week leading up to the day. i still enjoy it but i can't help feeling soooo tired. but it was still a fun time at the studio. hopefully awesome photos will come out of it.
and then the evening went with a blur too. we arrived and wait and wait and wait for the family to arrive for tea ceremony. it was really tough for me to remember all the names of the new family members… especially calling them in HOKKIEN!!!! hahahahha…. i will probably need David's help again the next time we meet them.
but worse of all is the club/dinner management. they totally ruined the dinner with the bad services. i could not believe me eyes when they were rolling back the red carpet in the middle of the dinner and mount it to the shoulder without checking for anyone walking behind them and almost knocked my brother in law if he did not move fast in avoiding it!! HOW COULD THEY?! They shouldn't be keeping carpet in the middle of the dinner with the dust flying around wad! and on top of that, when we complain about this matter, they supervisor had the nerve to ask us to make the final payment to close the deal!! OH MMMM GEEEE… my fire would have flared up and devoured them if David did not hold me back and ask me to let him settle it! by far the worse dinner services I've received… no recommendation for the place if you ever ask me again. BANNED!! when we came down after the even was over (dessert did not even come ut by 1130pm!!), the other wedding dinner host from the hall downstairs was also arguing with the downstairs manager while David was arguing with the upstairs manager in charge… i was sickly and upset at the same time! by then i was glad it's all over and can slowly drive back to aman suria to take a shower! Thank God for Nai Lin for driving me so i didn't have to drive. i was almost falling asleep in the car.
well, the day is over and things happened but like i always tell the brides and grooms, the most important thing about the day is WE GOT MARRIED! As long as we got married, the details are just details… forget about it! =)
