As with most weddings, there are a million and one pictures so i will be putting up some great memories...over a period of time...meaning occasionally...when i can sift thru this photo mania...

In the meantime, I just realised that there was 1 particular guest that I would like to showcase.

She means a lot to me, especially seeing how she had dressed up particularly for this day. But the fact the her father's only sister was getting married got lost between putting on her diapers and sticking her finger up her nose (an unusually frequent occurence). Nadia was still in her own little world.

2 weeks ago, I attended one of the most important events of my life.

I went to a wedding.

My own.

And yes, the morning of that BIG day was one of minor chaos...from what I've heard.

Cos you see, I made the wonderful decision of staying in my airconditioned room, surrounded by the cheerful green curtains I CHOSE, the beautiful fake floral arrangement I BOUGHT with the furniture placed exactly as how I WANTED it.

BRIDEZILLA you say? Hardly...I was a tranquil flower glowing in a serene light, ready to be further beautified in the hands of a professional as I wait for the hour that my white knight comes to take me away....

I left the tyranny to my mother...a true GODZILLA that can bewilder the geniuses of this world with her staunchly held but truly bafflingly acquired opinions, ideas and arguments.

In light of this 'wonder' woman I call my mother, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have contributed to maintaining my sanity in the months before and leading to the very day I sign my life away....I mean I get married.

It has been a tough year planning a wedding with a shift job, a groom who is not there and has no clue (literally), a mother who has moments of tranquility and great ideas, and me being me...with my own moments of insanity.

If not for friends to hold me up, hold me down, hold me back...we would all be looking at a major bloodbath.


My best friend Faridah has been the force behind me, pushing me to actually get my ass moving with this wedding, without whom, this wedding would not have been as beautiful as it was. My in laws thank you deeply for helping them understand what the heck was going on during the entire she-bang...from the kompang to making sure that the magic pot lives on at their table. They told me that never once was the food plates on their table empty. They have no idea how it happened but like magic, the food just keeps re appearing..SPOOKY...but thanks, my dear.


My great gang of friends, Cheryl, Aida, Francine, Sar and even faraway Praisie...have tried to make time for me even though it may sometimes feel like the toughest thing to do in the world. The little time that we do get to spend to just chat, laugh and eat so that I can be ditzy 'ol me is something that I cherish so much, you guys have no idea.

Special thanks to Praisie and Sup who came all the way from Phuket to attend the wedding. Kop khun mak na ka!!

To the great Front Office team I work with, thanks for the great and not so great shifts we've had together. It's only when we've had bad days that we truly learn something about the job and about ourselves. To the wonderful fellow GROs who make and break my day everyday and I thank you for the memories..you guys are one of the biggest reasons why it was so difficult for me to leave.

Liyana, Amin and Duta, you guys have no idea how much I will miss you 3. From your robocop ways, your tepung white face and your silly pranks and stapling of clothes...you guys know who you are... thanks for all the much needed support and advice that you guys give me at all times of the day and night. I hope I have been able to be as good a friend to you and you guys have been to me this past year or so.

To Wilda and Fifah, thank sos much for all your help during the wedding. Couldn't have run so smoothly without you guys. Special big thank you to Fifah who helped my mum with her desperate search into the envelope bag. Good luck, Wil to your wedding plans. Next in line!!
Keep in touch, guys...I mean it.

To my entire family...thanks so much for everything. I can't believe how everyone just pulled up their bootstraps when it came down to the crunch and dove into helping out headfirst. To my aunties who helped sew my curtains BY HAND, cook, keep my mother occupied...thank you thank you! To my 2 sis in laws...you guys are just THE BEST! Thanks for being there.


And last but most certainly not least, to the guy who has had to put up with every tantrum, mood, temper, argument and plain 'ol nastiness and yet still held on for dear life at the end of the day to call me his wife....thank you, thank you, thank you..... for your patience, honesty, good temper and persistence.

You are what got us here.
