Bouquet Fear

Talking about bouquet, it reminds me of my fear.

I saw in many weddings when the bride tosses the bouquet, all girls would run..... of course in the opposite direction of where the bouquet was going. In many cases, the bouquet would fall on the floor, sometimes it would even break.

I really don't want to see this happening. I always feel that the bouquet represents the bride. When no one wants to come out for the bouquet, it is like no one wants to have anything to do with the bride. So I always fear I would feel that "No one wants to be my friend". And I heard it's bad luck if the bouquet drops on the floor. So please please please please please, to single ladies (who claim to be Corrie's friends) reading this blog: Please come out (and get your single female neighbours to come out too). 我真的很想把我的幸福傳給妳們呀!

P.S. I am also worried about the tossing part. I can't even throw a softball straight forward. I have no clue how I can toss a bouquet backwards...

Still Very Calm

I just checked our wedding date counter on this blog. There are less than 20 days left. Why am I still so calm?

5 reasons why Corrie thinks we are both so calm:
1. We purposely planned very little for the wedding day, so we can have an enjoyable and stress-free wedding.
2. We have great friends helping us.
3. We truly understand we will be married eventually even without a perfect wedding.
4. Corrie is more excited about her NDS and stressed about her MBA papers. (I know, these two items shouldn't go together.) Ka certainly have others stuff on his plate.
5. The wedding comes too quickly.

你睇吓我地兩隻野幾relax? Meow!

童年的你 童年的我

我們為了wedding slide show 找我們童年時的相片. 先找Ka的. 看看Ka小時後多神氣!

到我了, 我一直都知道爹o地幫我影了很多相. 真估不到由一歲到三歲竟然有十多本大大的很有心機排的相簿! 我這隻醜小鴨竟有過千張相. (We are talking about before digital time.)

一些關於我們童年有趣的facts:
Corrie和Ka都是不停哭的BB
一出世的Corrie皮膚比Ka還要黑
Ka影相都唔笑o既! (真係三歲定八十)
Ka 去過很多地方旅行
Corrie有很多很多很多玩具
Ka童年時的相片大部分都沒有其他小孩子. (No wonder Ka always wants siblings.)
我們兩個小時後都有很多很多頭髮

寫到這裡想起這首廣告歌.

童年的你必定天真可愛
看你今日充滿神采
成長中從未變改
oh baby 看你多麼可愛

Diet

Two months ago, I said I wanted to lose weight (tummy and arms).
Last month, I said I would start my diet "today". (I controlled what I ate for 2 days.)
Two weeks ago, I said I would start my diet "tomorrow".
Last week, I said I would start my diet the month before my wedding.
Tonight, I decided, I won't go on my diet. 我決定不減肥了!

My reason:
人人都說要結婚留倩影, 但十年後看回自己的婚照, 可能化妝衣着已經不合時, 這樣到時都不會覺得太靓, 肥少少又有甚麼關係. 十年後可能變了肥師奶(希望不會吧!), 如果現在結婚瘦身成功, 到時必定想: "嘩! 肥了這麼多!". 所以都是不要太瘦了, 希望十年後別人看到我的結婚相會想: "哦. 那時候跟現在的你都是差不多." :D 不減肥的益處實在太多. 都是繼續吃!吃!吃! 的好.

Ten years from now when I will look back at our wedding photos, my wedding make-up and hair style will be dated. Since it won't look good anyway, there is no harm for a little extra tummy or flappy arms. If I lose weight now, I will probably regain it back. If I am already out of shape for my wedding, then people will just think I look relatively similar. :D So - No more diet for me! Yay!

P.S. I know these are all excuses. But at least it makes me feel better...

水魚講價

我是一個不講價的人. 我都有問過自己為甚麼不講價呢? 我原本都以為因為自己愛面子, 不願講價. 但自從我為着婚禮的一些purchases嘗試講價後, 就發覺我其實是一個真的不懂講價的人.

有多少個人講價, 會offer個比store owner還要高的價錢???

事原可可去買Centerpieces用的花瓶:
店主: 35個, 計你便宜一點, 合共$--6.40
可可: (覺得店主很好人, 但都應該講下價)可以便宜一點嗎?
店主: 我已給了個八五折給你了(覺得店主很有道理)
店主: 你給cash我不收你tax啦 (可可間直覺得自己"蝦"緊個店主)
(店主pass個計算機給我們看)
計算機: $--4.50
可可: Ok. 我給$--5.00吧. (還要驚店主不肯)

The worst, 可可still thinks she got a good deal.

之前另外一次去check out婚紗rental的價錢.
店員: 婚紗rental package $1180, 拍照的要$1200
可可: (其實都無想過那處拍照, 也覺得價錢OK, 不過扮下講價啦)嘩! 咁貴?
店員: 你的budget是甚麼, 我幫你work吓啦
可可: Hmm. $2500左右啦.

分分鐘, 我講價的價錢比唔講價要給的價錢還要高. 所以呢, 都係唔好再講價好了.

To Hun: 你就成日話我大大隻水魚, 無鬼用, 我落order時已經不斷望你, 你又粒聲都唔出, 唔知係我無鬼用, or你無鬼用. 我話我地两個都係大大隻開心水魚就真!!

咁細個?

你可知道我wedding shopping時遇上最多的評語是甚麼? 十個有九個人都驚訝的說: "嘩, 你咁細個. 做乜咁細個趕住去嫁呀?" 通常我的第一個反應都是: "吓? 咁細個? 我好大個架啦." 對方總會說: "你才不過是二十出頭吧..."

在這剎那, 我絕對不會理會對方是否因為要賣東西給我而巴結我. 我只會沾沾自喜十數秒, 然後說: "我快三十了." 雖然還有兩年, 但四捨五入嘛. 而且, 這樣說對方才會, "嘩, 快三十! 真的嗎! 保養得真好. 皮膚keep得真好!", 地繼續讚美. :)
