Mayday

when i was 17 or 18.. i worked part-time in a CD shop. it was the time when mayday released their first album and my colleague was playing the CD after we received it in the shop. the same year, i had a chance to watch them live at indoor stadium.

lo and behold! that was the beginning of the i-love-mayday spiral.

1st rows during autograph sessions, mini concerts.. most expensive tickets to every concert.. recording every tv appearances, even if it was just for 30 seconds.. going to the airport and hotel.. going to their supper places... anything you name, the fan-girl did. :)

their record company staff even regarded us as "第一排霸主"!
(but we are too old now to protect our fort, so 霸主 no more :( )

it is the spirit of the songs, encouraging us to carry on dreaming and loving, the wonderful lyrics and melodies, the extensive musical arrangements, the enormous talent, the hardwork they put into each & every song and performance and the very real personalities that i love so much about them.

throughout these years, i have always wanted to attend their concerts overseas (yes, singapore no-enough!). money and timing were always not on my side. however, this time, i had a short break from work which coincided with their hong kong concert. so there's no holding me back this time.

i went, conquered and loved every single minute of it. :)

and here's to more mayday-ified 10 years for me, the proud mayday fan-girl :)

new template :)

after talking to woman 5.0 today, i got tempted to change the blog skin too hehe.
so.... tada! nice lah! :P

death by internet?

was talking to a friend just now on the msn; ranting to her about the wedding preparation.

how much reviews and homework we have to read/do online whenever we are trying to make new decisions such as deciding on the hotel, bridal studio, photographer, videographer, bed, lighting, wardrobe, this and that, etc etc..

yes, these reviews help.
very much, in fact.

but these information can get so overwhelming that it frightens people.

in the past, there were no internet around to help.
people rely on word-of-mouth, advertisement, or just by pretty shop decor.
like my sister for example.. during her time of wedding prep, there were no internet information available, but i can still remember her wedding being so perfect.

nowadays.. we even rely on reviews for food. whenever we decide to try some new restaurant, internet is the 1st place we check for bad comments. even so, after all the splendid comments that we read, the restaurant might still not end up to our liking.

so are we wasting too much time on the internet trying to get reviews for everything we do?

well, i'm not taking chances. though i'm absolutely tired of information overload.

now excuse me, while i go read up on which brand of mattresses are the "best"..

blue..

haven't been feeling really happy recently..
not that things are bad..

just blue.

prep work!

have been reading and researching on the bridal studios.. such a difficult decision to make!

read some not-so-good comments on di gio so guess i'll skip them (i was really impressed by the huge range of gowns that they have though!)..

considering the aisle or my bridal room now...

we have more or less finalised the hotel, just some final clarifications about the contract and we'll be done!

gonna use......

:)

some lil updates :)

haven't been to work these few days cos my mum had her cataract surgery & i'm staying at home to take care of her.. but i ended up having a fever & so had to stay at home another day. not that i'm complaining. no work is always a bliss :) going back tomorrow though!

****************************

yikes, my mum just told me about my kitchen having lizards & there are always some rubber bands being brought to a corner when she wakes up in the morning. huh, didn't know lizards are so playful...

some updates about our wedding plans :)

- met up with a fengshui master to do our wedding dates calculation. he is actually really young but definitely pro. gave us a few dates in a simple report format, coupled with detailed explanation of some traditional chinese customs like what is "guo da li", "an chuang" etc. he even emailed us some templates which are very helpful after the consultation! apparently, he also does home & office fengshui so let me know if you need his contacts in the future :)

- chose a tentative date & the hotel to view the place! made a tentative booking with them. haven't sign the contract but we were rather happy with them :)

- thinking of taking up either di-gio or the aisle for the bridal package! advice anyone? :(

- still taking our time with the other things :P

bought a kate spade recently :P

We are Engaged!

for once, he was totally successful in planning a surprise - without me suspecting anything at all :)

we had planned to go for a stay somewhere to relax and to take a little break. little did i know that it wasn't relaxing at all for him! :)

goodwood park hotel suddenly became a special place for both of us.

a place where i had surprises after surprises.
a place where i had the ultimately perfect proposal
a place where i teared happy tears one round after another
a place where we shared our blissful joy with both our families right after the deed.

with a polaroid camera to capture instant moments,
a scrapbook made with love and sleepless nights,
a ring bought after endless reading and research,
a proposal which touched me till no end....

...we are engaged. :)

i LOVE the very bling bling-bling!

badminton!

whee, we have started on our new resolution to play badminton every saturday!

last sat was the 1st session and boy was it shiok! it has been such a long time since i've played (or did any form of exercise) and it was very fun!

we were exhausted by the end though and hopefully we will be able to build up our stamina soon.

looking forward to the next session! :)

New Year New Look!

well... not that i wanted to change the skin voluntarily. it has been a while since i visited my own blog and when i did come in tonight, i was shocked to find that the cookie monster skin was no longer working.. :(

anyway...so i did some changes here and there and tada! not so satisfied but i suppose this will do since i'm not updating this too often anyway. heh :P guilty as charged..

happy 2010 everyone!

resolutions..?
i've never done this before because i know i will never ever follow through with whatever i set. but hey, why not do this for fun and see if i've achieved anything one year later when i come back to read this..

let's see.. i hope to:

- keep to our aim of playing badminton at least once a week
- walk.... a bit on my rusty threadmill at least once a week as well :P
- improve on my processes at work!
- fulfil the australia trip with farmz
- update this dusty place more often
- procrastinate lesser

now.. let's see how long it takes for me to post again next time.. heehee
