Simplicity

Yes, they did it again. This time round, the she-boss proved that she is indeed a NIMKAPOOT!

Round 1: Okay, go ahead and cancel her classes on Sat and Sun.

Round 2: Tell parents that “she is no longer fit to work with the company.”

Round 3: Ring ring, the little worms called everyone.

Round 4: Who said to tell that she resign?! Go find out who!

Round 5 : E will be coming to work on Sun. Call parents to come back. Say that we heard wrongly.

Round 6: Bang, dies the little worms.

What else can I say. I am disgusted by her stooooopid decisions. I am even more appalled at the mere fact that I am still working there to witness such nimkapootness to the ULTIMATE. She-boss may have managed to convince E to teach for one more day, or maybe ’till the end of the term??’ But guess what, she just lost one cashcow of hers, and that’s me!

Sitting at the fountain.

Mum’s cooking.

Enjoying my classes.

Being appreciated.

Waking up naturally.

Meeting up with friends.

Having a public holiday to look forward to.

Getting a snail mail.

Listening to good music.

Having the time to eat breakfast with Mr Poto.

Having the time to spend an afternoon with Mr Poto.

Catching a good show on HBO accidentally.

Shopping for promotional items at the supermarket.

So far, I have got all these down…and still counting. =)

Tonight, Mr Poto and I went for our 2nd appointment with Fairy’s Inc. We showed Evelyn our design and she commented that it was very nice and meaningful. Hee. I guess it’s sorta like writing a hallmark card. So long as you are able to deliver a meaningful story behind the pictures, it will hold a special place in your heart.

After going through the design and discussing on the materials, we came to the question on COST. The naive me thought that customizing the wedding bands shouldn’t be too costly, since we are the ones that came up with the design, plus there aren’t many diamonds on our band. Guess how much the wedding bands came up to……???

Drum roll…….

$2880!!!

The higher cost is due to the cost of full embossing, which is very intricate details. Hence, I shall pay for Mr Poto’s ring, and he shall pay for mine. It’s our present to each other.

A part of me does feel the heart pain. But this pair of ring will always hold a special place in our hearts. It will be the one and only pair in the whole wide world. Whenever I see the design of our wedding bands, I will remember our promise towards each other.

Can’t wait for 4th June for our ring fitting session! =)

Just created a wedding website. Here it is, 1212bliss.

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

Have you ever took a second to look up into the sky and appreciate the beauty of nature? Have you ever looked at the passing trees and take it for granted? In the wake of modernization, our focus has been taken off the wonders of the nature. Buildings just seem to get taller, shifting our focus to the skyline and not the sky.

Even a leaf has a heart, how can we not take heart to care for our home? I chanced upon this fantastic poem. In addition, here is an interesting video I have found regarding global warming.

I am celebrating earth day by making my blog go green. Let us all do our part to make our home a better place. It’s a simple logic, without mother earth, there will not be us. Hence, make the right decision of recyling your plastic bags instead of buying another car. As Michael Jackson once said, heal the world…make it a better place. Putting his character aside, here is his Earth song. It really does contain such an important message for all of us.

Let us create, not destroy.

I have always had this epiphany of how life resembles taking the mrt train, whenever I was at the escalator of getting to the train.

Yes. Life is like taking a train. There will be a line of people standing on the left hand side of the escalator. They are the ones who are taking life slowly. And there will be the line of hurried people, rushing down the escalator to get down. There will always be these few people who will run towards the train, hoping to catch it. Some lucky ones will manage to slide through the door in time, while the unlucky ones will just have to act like nothing ever happened. Here, it seems as though one may miss an opportunity in life when he misses the train. But as life goes, there will always be another opportunity coming along.

The earlier you get into the train, you will be able to find seats. It’s the latter ones who usually have to just stand around. It’s the same when it comes to work. (At least in mine) If you hop onto the job first, you will get the comfort of rising faster in terms of seniority. Hence, you will just have to wait until the early birds get off the train first, in order to get your seat. (This theory is not applicable to pregnant ladies, elderly and children.)

Getting onto the train at the right place and the right time is very important. This is where you get to meet people who are fated to meet you. Who knows, your prince charming may just be there?

Taking the train with people who can click with you makes the train journey a lot more easier and fun. It just doesn’t seem that long and lonely. Hence, the importance of having family and friends in life. People always come first! But of course there will be times when you wish to be alone in the train in order to collect your thoughts together.

Taking a train everyday is a fresh experience. You get to meet different people. Or you can even always be meeting that one particular person everytime. Same place, same time. You can observe people. You can be inspired. There will be times where I will even try to imagine the other person’s life story.

There are times when the train will just get stuck while you are on it. It will just stay there for a while. That’s how it applies to me now in terms of my work. I am just on that train, not knowing where and when to get off. Somehow, the timing just doesn’t seem right. It’s not easy to achieve my dream honeymoon, while sitting on this train. I can just hop off the train to get married. But I will not be on any train. Or, I can get onto another train and postpone my dream honeymoon till a later date. But what if a baby comes along? Questions, questions and questions.

Where are you heading now on your train of life?

Not too long ago, I was searching up and down for a wedding photographer and videographer. Got the photographer, but hasn’t really got luck in finding the videographer yet. I guess I am just plain lazy. There are simply soooooo many choices to choose from. At that point in time, it just felt like information OVERLOAD. Looking through the pages of forums and recommendations. Screening through the details in their online portfolios. Research…and even more research. It was getting a little too overwhelming and taxing. The thought of NOT getting married even entered my little brain, where I echoed it out to Mr Poto, only to be slammed back into my little world of complications.

It’s just that sometimes, just sometimes, when I think about all these hassles and frills for just one day. One day…so much preparation to be done just for ONE day. I know that it’s a matter of choice. The day I attended the wedding show at The Legends, I couldn’t turn back. I have turned to the ‘dark’ side of the typical bride.

I just wanted a simple wedding, sharing my joy with people whom I really care about, and genuinely cares about me. But now, there are soooo many ideas coming into my mind. That’s the end result of having a simple girl with a complicated mind. A typical Gemini!

Today, I saw one of my sweet colleague’s wedding photos. They are really really beautiful! I am truly envious of how natural their photos turned out, and how much she really enjoyed the process. Kudos to her! Think I may feel stressed about how the photos will turn out, and may even mind the wandering eyes of the strangers at the outdoor shoot. Haha. But, I am really happy to see her gorgeous photos, and I look forward to her wedding!

For a while, I had lie low for my wedding preparations. Took a short WPB (Wedding Preparation Break). Now, after being spurred on by those beautiful wedding photos, ideas are beginning to flow again. For instance, my bridemaids shall be wearing white dresses with olive green ribbons (tentatively). Looking frantically for our song. Contemplating if we should get a videographer….should we?? Changes are also going to make for our ROM.

What can I say? I am BACK!

I had the most scary experience on the taxi last Saturday on my way to work in the morning. As Mr Poto had to attend his school’s speech day, he couldn’t fetch me to work. As I got on the taxi, the cab sped off in fast speed. Well, I can handle fast speed. In fact, I was happy to think that I may reach my workplace early.

And…that’s when the driver uncle started to brake suddenly quite a number of times. I started to feel a little uncomfortable. After that, the driver started to have weird actions, shaking his shoulders. It seemed as though he had uncontrollable movements. Yeah. Even MORE worried.

The most ultimate scary experience came when he started to DOZE OFF at the traffic light!!! Oh my gosh! The car behind us had to honk in order to wake him up. I was soooo nervous and thought that I may not get to work in one piece. He even missed our exit and blamed me for not giving him directions! I was really contemplating if I should complain about him to his company. I even noted down his licence plate. However, I did not want to make him lose his livelihood. So, that’s that.

All in all, it was one HELL of a ride!!!

Hope you will enjoy the programme lined up for you tonight!!! Happy Birthday my dear!!
