Aaaaarrrrggghh...
Most times i feel a lucky lucky girl. That usually happens at non-working hours. When I'm with my darling.
Sometimes though, I feel downright unlucky.
Sometimes, things just don't go smoothly.
Even when most things seem right, but the few small things that irk magnify thyselves and over-accentuate.
I know it's silly to let these riffraff rattle me. I know what a waste of time it is to spend time on the unworthies.
But it's so difficult not to.
It's downright frustrating...

Stinko Singapura?
Is it me or is Singapore getting stinkier by the day?
On the trains, in cabs, and even just crossing roads. It's a medley of unsavoury BO, stale smoke, BO, sourish odour, BO, BO, BO...
It didn't use to be like that. It's just getting downright unpleasant these days...
Sigh...

it's probably inevitable.
we've run into a bad patch.
at one point, i've felt discouraged. frustrated. helpless. distressed. worried. insecure. helpless.
i was weighed down. by all that around me. the negativity's rancid.
for probably the first time, i've had nothing more to say. nothing that i can to make things better. nothing that i know.
i can only stay where i am and wait for it to pass. because i know it will.
but never once have i felt regret. never once have i felt compelled to rethink.
it's a bad patch. we'll get through it. together.
like we'll always do.

Contentment
this is something that comes up in me every now and then.
and it's not just me. i believe it's a lot of people. it's human nature.
so many things in life are a matter of reality vs expectations.
expectation management. what you expect vs what you get.
it also just struck me that the more we have, the more we're blessed with, the more discontent we are. because we keep thinking we deserve better.
do we?
perhaps we do. perhaps we don't.
what really interests me is - will we be happier if we acknowledge that we don't. or does it not make a difference at all?

Gown Selection - Done
really tiring. quite fun. but... bushed.
1st time i see myself in full makeup with all the works around the eyes. not used to it at first but grew to like it. pretty natural looking. i no drama mama.
a bit worried about my gowns. not sure whether i chose right colour for the evening gown. will it make me look fat? is it not grand enuff? will i look fat? :s
oh well... what will be will be.
but really happy nonetheless. another big item ticked. n one step closer to being a wife. the wife of the only man i wanna be the wife of.

Wedding Gown - Booked
Placed the deposit here before we left for Bali. Was gunning for a designer place but ended up with something I never thought / knew of before my bridal gown shopping. Hope we've made the right choice...
*fingers crossed*

He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
- William Butler Yeats

Happiness is...
- throwing a tantrum in the middle of the night based on a dream and being met with patient pacification, not irritation.

First touch - gowns
Went for my first bridal gown shopping session yesterday. i must say it's been really fun seeing how I look in wedding gowns, albeit tiring and slightly confidence-deflating. i can now appreciate to a greater degree why so many brides nowadays look anorexic. as i said to shan, that should never be happening to me. though i do feel a certain "pressure" to lose some weight. oh well. let's see how it goes. :p
Created a new category - thought perhaps good to track my progress somewhere. i see brides with little pink notebooks, scribbling down lotsa details n stuff, checklists, planners etc. me? i've zilch. it's all on papers scattered round the study table or in my head. hahaaaa... luckily, i've got fantastic friends who give me lots of advice. one in particular who helped coordinate my gown shopping - that relieved a big load off me actually as if it'd been up to me, i'd still be procrastinating picking up the phone to make appointments!
Now the thing I'm undecided is - embrodery v lace? which should i go for? personally, i've more of an initial affinity for lace (esp those super-duper expensive french chantilly onces!). but embroidery looks grander and stands out more in a ballroom setting. n the really nice lace gown that i'm sallivating for is a whooping S$8k just to rent! kinda oot, huh?
Oh well... I've another shopping session next Wed + 1 mini on next Fri. Hopefully I'll have a better idea by then. I'm just too undecisive for my own good... sigh...
