In Motion

This post is a continuation (of sorts) of the last post. Since coming back to campus, many people have asked me, "So, how does it feel to be married?" My answer is, it doesn't feel any different, actually. Maybe I feel more secure and happy because I don't have to worry about breaking up with him anymore or being estranged by the distance (things will only get worse if I'm posted to a rural area with no internet connection), but otherwise, I don't feel like getting married opened my eyes up to a whole new world. Or something equally dramatic. Perhaps I don't feel very different because I've been in this relationship for six and a half years, and we've gotten so used to each other already. In other words, we're comfy with each other. So yeah, I'm probably past that fireworks and romance phase. Got over it like 5.5 years ago. =P Besides, we were always the committed sort. *shrugs* Not much of a culture shock there. Or maybe the reason...

So many things have happened in the past month. There was that dreadful week before the wedding, the wedding day itself, the posh, short honeymoon at Cove 55, the living at home, the living away from home, and the second honeymoon at Bali, and now I'm back in campus while he's gone back to the States to resume his PhD. So far, I've been too busy to be paralyzed by his absence. The past week has been a flurry of activity, and today I finally get an (informal) off day with time to myself. My friends are planning to go to Alamanda for some shopping and maybe a movie, but I need my alone time . Key word : Need . I'm finally getting down to blogging about the whole experience, and I realize that I don't even know where I'm supposed to start. Maybe I'll start here then : God is good. I have been blessed in so many ways - marrying my first and only love at an early age, having enough time to settle everything that needed to be settled before the weddi...

I hope people aren't sick of listening to me go on and on about the wedding, because this post is gonna be about the wedding again . Don't get me wrong, I am super relieved that the wedding is over, and that life can resume as normal. I'm not trying to relive the wedding or seek attention way past the event. I'm just trying to write down as much as possible about this important event because one day I may look back and wish I remembered more about it. =P Memory ain't what it used to be. Also, if anyone asks me for recommendations, I can just refer them to this post. This post is just going to be a simple one about the vendors that helped to piece my wedding together, 'cause the rates were reasonable and I felt that I (mostly) got good value for money. Heheh. My dress : Pearl Studio (rented), <RM500 for dress (+alteration), accessories and veil. Of course different dresses go at different rates, but most fall between RM400 - RM700, which was exactly my bu...

So. The long-awaited ( I HOPE) post about the wedding is finally here. Sorry for dropping off the edge of the world for the past few days, I've been busy. ;) Most of you know how much I dreaded the hassle of the wedding planning and the surveying and the decision-making and all things tedious, right? Well, I also didn't expect the actual wedding day to be much better since I'd have contacts in my eyes, makeup on my face, and be wearing pretty but uncomfy shoes for the whole of SIX (6) or more *winces* hours. All my fault, really, since I wanted an outdoor photoshoot on the same day (because I didn't want a pre-wed photoshoot or yet ANOTHER makeup and dress up session). =P The pleasantly surprising thing was, I had more fun than I ever expected to have, mainly because of the company. It was only at the wedding that I realized how much I had missed human interaction and socializing. Jia Wern's crazy St Jo gang even came up with a hashtag for the wedding : sixpoi...
