I have been super busy lately juggling my new career, my wedding which is 2 monthsaway!!! and lots of other trivia stuff. In fact, exactly one week before, I was already freaking out cause my wedding preparation status is like 20% to completions. AND. I might have to move to our new house within the same period too. or not. still waiting for our property agent to revert. I am going to keel him if he is not able to confirm by tomorrow. I promise.
My Wedding Planning Diary: 2 months before
Week 8 before the wedding
Meeting with the restaurant mainly to confirm the menu and to decide on the food tasting date. Other stuff to discuss are such as what's in the package and what's not, special requests, seating arrangements, reception area, decoration, etc etc
Week 7 before the wedding
Breaking the news & inviting my guest (via sms & fb)
Deciding on who is your maid of honour, best man, the main jeemuis and hengtais to alleviate your suffering ie. to book them in advance so that they can help you with the responsibilities.
Deciding on the wedding theme which is going to affect the outfits of the bride, bride grooms, bridemaids, mother father, dresscode, flowers to use, venue and reception decor and so on. It's going to be a lot Pink, Hello Kitty and Fabulous elements. I am super super excited on how is this gonna turn out!
Casual conversation with close relatives on wedding stuffs during breakfast outings eg: which distant relatives to invite, who to occupy the host table, rituals, tips, sharing, etc etc
Shopping!!! (which is my favourite part) for wedding stuffs and other non-relevant stuff since it's the mega sale season now.
Here's our shopping list :)))))
gold bar (Roy) [Instead of getting the must-have ring for the bridegroom, we have decided that the best replacement is a gold bar simply because it is bad fashion to wear a gold ring unless your occupation is a hip hop singer or similiar.]
pants (Roy)
Longines watch (Elle)
Lin Chi Ling and yummy Longines male model
Camera (Elle/Roy)
To be continued...
The heavy duty, time-consuming and still yet-to-do:
making our wedding preps behind-the-scene video
making our wedding timeline video (from baby to getting to know each other, yada yada)
I can sense Panic now. I need to Focus. Focus. & Focus.To be continued...
I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason enough in the
last few months — but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
―Bella, Twilight
The above is the first line of Twilight - both on the book and movie.
The good and good-looking vampires :P
I am currently a die-hard fan of the Twilight series, watched the movies repeatably and I am also reading the books. I don't really like Stephenie Meyer's way of writing but then I am obsessed with the stories itself. Contradicting right? lol..
In Twilight, she is a 17-year-old girl whom fell in love head-to-toe with Edward Cullen, a vampire Well, she is very hot, carries the character well but my only complain is she talks like she is in constant constipation. She also stutters a lot.
Edward Cullen
Edward Cullen #1 and his vampires family
When he is forced to sit next to Bella in Biology class the first time (they are classmates and Bella is a new student) and he smells her blood, he insanely wants to kill her, and thinks about massacring the whole class as well. Though vampires are blood-thirsty creatures, but Cullen family are "vegetarianism" by choice, they only feeds on animal bloods and they live with the human beings.
About Edward:
is 107 years old but physically, he is 17-year-old, the age when he was transformed into vampire
has Telepathy abilities, except that he can't read Bella's mind.
"Why do you think you can't hear me?"
"I don't know. The only guess I have is that your mind doesn't work the same way the rest of theirs do. Like your thoughts are on AM frequency and I'm only getting FM."" ―Edward to Bella
Jacob Black
Jacob Black #1
Those abs and his boyish charm makes me drool. I *heart* Jacob! ♥ ♥ ♥
Jacob Black #2
Jacob Black and Edward Cullen - natural and love enemies
About Jacob:
In Twilight he is fifteen and was phased to werewolf one year.
infatuated with Bella and hence, is a foe to Edward
Jane
Jane #1
She is an evil, sadistic and powerful vampire and enjoys tormenting/killing both vampires and people. It's a minor role but surely an impactful one.
Do you know who she is? Hint: a famous child star

Jane #2.
The actressin person, 16 years old now. She looks much older in the movie though.
I really couldn't recognise that it is her in the movie and kept wondering why she showed up in the Twilight premier. Lol..
Alice Cullen
She is the pretty, bumbly and fashionable vampire
I ♥ her choker.
This is not any choker but it bears the "Cullen"' family crest where all the Cullen wears it.
Jasper, Emmett and Edward each wear a wrist band, Alice wears a choker around her neck, Bella and Esme wear the same necklaces, Rosalie wears a chain, and Carlisle wears a ring.
Anyone knows where I can buy a similar looking choker? :P
There is even an online guide on the cast fashion and style: The Cullen Closet.
Here's my Favourite Quotes from Twilight. It's super inspirational.
“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were answers like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess… When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist… But now that we’ve grown up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how about this… Who the hell knows? This isn’t a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… We won’t have to guess. We’ll know.” - Graduation Speech from Eclipse
The cut this off, Twilight is simply awesome because of the casts, characters and the stories and here's the Twilight trailers.
Twilight #1
The Twilight Saga #2: New Moon
Check out Dakota Fanning at 0:05 sec. She is hot!
The Twilight Saga #3: Eclipse
If you are a fan of Twilight, then you will definitely adore this song by Christina Perri - "A Thousand Years" which is the music video for Twilight: The Breaking Dawn - Part 1
Here's the chorus and it's also my favourite part of the lyrics:
