my rantings on 30th Nov..

" If He carried the weight on the cross upon His shoulders.. "

It is going to be a busy week ahead..

mon & tues full day meetings with dinners..
wed is a non-working day for me as we will be doing family visits..
thurs i will be on leave to acc dear dear to the hospital.. then at night for the D&D..
fri, sat, sun will be having full day meetings again.. hiaz.. its going to be a stressful week ahead..

most of my friends asked if i rested enough for the wedding, my family advised me to sleep early everyday to get enough beauty rest to prepare for my big day.. though i slept well throughout the night with undisturbed sleep, but i didnt really rest well enough for the big day..

initially wanted to go for a beauty spa/ facial session.. but due to the little time i have for myself.. i didnt manage to relax my skin and pamper myself.. :(

i hope after my wedding things will be back into good shape.. i have more time to do my shopping, stock up on clothes, shoes, bags, accessories and be back into good shape.. more time to enjoy my new oven and once again get back into my baking mood.. i miss baking!!!

well, i also hope dear dear can manage some things well and even better after our marriage to give ourselves more security.. :)

p.s: hope we can go for a good honeymoon to relax and enjoy ourselves to start 2009 afresh..

25th Nov 08 安床。。。

过大礼的仪式过后，我们到新家，也就是我们的安乐窝，准备安床。。

我等了好久。。一至想要把 string curtain 放上。。 因为，担心送床的工人把他弄肮脏所以一至没有把他放上去。。 终于床已经送来了，我也称这个机会把他放上了。。 好开心。。 好漂亮喔！！谢谢我的设计师，也就是我的啊姨的好注意。。 把我们的安乐窝打扮得那么美丽。。

请看照片吧！。。

弟弟在床上。。 为我们打个滚。。

string curtain 好像下雨的感觉。。showers of blessings!

放床头灯。。

甜甜蜜蜜，永结同心，早生贵子。。

很晚了，该睡觉了。。 晚安。。
