Good Weekend!!!

Me with the free pillow

Me with MIL








Felt great and satisfied during this weekend! Settled some more wedding stuff.

Went in to bridal shop on Saturday with Allan and MIL to select my actual day wedding gown. Although the gown collections at Elegance is not really wide, but we managed to select the day gown and evening gown. Pretty pleased with EG. It just came out from the "super VIP" section which my package wasn't entailed with. So quite lucky.... if not, I would have a tough time choosing one. Got our music video liao!!!... came home to watch it and surprisingly, they did it quite well! I couldn't help watching it for umpteen times till Allan had to stop me. haha... Obession!

Went to Robinsons in the evening to pay for our bed. As it was their Bedshop 1-year anniversary, they gave us a "goose down" pillow. Hmm... seems pretty good. Came home and tested the pillow, I was so tempted to start using it. But think it would be better to wait till the bed is here.

Went to confirm our rental for wedding car today. Those who need to rent wedding car, can let me know. I've good lobang.

Such a relief that these few things are being settled.

Let me count down how many more days???

42 more days to our wedding!

24 more days to our furniture and bed move in.... *looking forward to this*

Cab Fare Hike.. Up up and away

I had just realised how much cab fare had increased. Took a cab from Potong Pasir mrt to Allan's house. The meter reading was $4 but the surcharge of $2 was TOO MUCH! Shucks! I cannot believe why the government would allow a 100% increase in peak hour surcharge.

This is my 1st time taking cab since the fare hike and I'm really feeling the pinch and heartache... Argh! To the extent that I'm blogging right now without even washing up yet. I simply cannot fathom why this can happening. And read from Papers that Comfort Delgro's reason for doubling the peak hour surcharge is to ameliorate the current disequilibrium between demand and supply during peak hours. And this is expected to reduce the waiting time during periods of high customer demand. Is this logical? Absolutely not.

This is just a superficial excuse to justify for the hike. At what? At the expense of the consumers! I can understand flag down fee or the increase in journey wise due to inflating diesel prices. But the reason for peak surcharge increase, I almost burst out laughing at this kind of reason. I wonder if a foreigner hears of this, what would they think?

Darn it. Going to take a nice long bath to cool myself down.
No wonder the power of our money is getting Smaller and smaller....

Vulnerability

I was watching the 9pm show just now where the evil actress went blind after a car accident.

Human beings are most vulnerable when they are sick. Imagine being down with some serious illness where you are at the mercy of the doctor's hands or God's hand. Where you might not be able to predict what will happen next.

"My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get...." Quote from Forrest Gump

Let's toast to good health. Eat healthily, exercise our bodies(they need that stretch) and have inner peace.

Bless!!!

Time for me to turn in early....

Sad but touching...

Touching passage that I read somewhere.

...in some relationships, the harder u work, chase and cherish, the more she tries to run away. Plain knowing that u will never be far off but will keep u at an arm's length jus to be sure. Taunting u with her absurb antics jus so u will keep up with her erratic movements. Its so near yet so far. Pacing herself so precisely. Perseverance is the only thing u have in mind. Always believing that by kicking up ur effort level by a notch or two might close the gap. With time it gets tiring when u see no returns or even any signs of encouragements. Ur energy dwindles with ur extinguishing hope. U begin to settle down, hoping to recuperate whats left of that battered heart of urs, thinking that giving up and moving on might perhaps be the most logical and merciful decision for urself now. But it's really uncanny that she would then detect that dying pulse of ur heart like a cardiologist almost everytime and begins nearing u when u least expect it. Subjecting u to her relentless but subtle psychological seductions. Sparking new hope and energy into you jus to lead u into that viscious cycle, only to be tortured again and again. Clearly we know that's what might be awaiting us, but we will jus submit to it like a moth jetting towards an open flame. Its really painful but we will jus go head on. We are not masochistic, jus plainly in love...

Stupid as stupid gets, but its jus sad to say that an honest man steadfast in love with perhaps the wrong person is like a sitting duck out in an open battle field, jus waiting to be killed. Its really maddening but certainly happening. Will we choose to give up then or will we not and jus decide to persevere on? I really dunno. On one hand, we can think that we might perish most probably and giving up is the most logical thing to do, but we probably might think that perhaps we can or will be that very last man standing after the end of the battle, emerging victorious after all. Battered but worthwhile...

Only God and she knows...
