Planning

I never realized how much planning went into weddings. There's booking the church, the venue for wedding dinner, figuring out the menu, choosing theme colours, thinking of whether to rent or make wedding and bridesmaids' dresses, invitations, guest list, photography, make up, caterer, florists, transport, band, slideshows etc. Then of course there is marriage preparation, the rings and the dance lessons. O_o

How do people do it?

I am trying to sort out as much as possible while I am still in KL. Haven't got much time left as I leave on Saturday.

Hoping to at least book the church before I leave. The priest has been delaying our efforts to book the church for half a year already, which quite frankly is causing great stress.

Also the reason I am panicking is because the next time I come back to KL will be for the wedding. Was considering coming back mid-year but it just costs too much and the money could be better allocated.

Reflection - 2010

Overall 2010 was a fabulous year. I feel so blessed and grateful for all the wonderful things that happened. The most important thing was that John came to Melb for good, bringing our long distance relationship to a close. It is such a blessing to be able to see each other every day even if we just come back after work and have a simple dinner together and watch tv. It feels so right.

And of course it means that I have been blogging a whole lot less than I used to.. mainly because I am spending that time being glued to John's side. :) It has been so much fun exploring Melbourne together. :) Quite a lot of that exploring involves food. It is uncanny how similar our taste in food is. The Vietnamese bread rolls, Portugese egg tarts, chicken katsudon, durian gelati... the list goes on. :)

Thank goodness I joined the gym. :)
