I am going to get married!

Well, maybe not.


But a girl can dream!


Spent last night browsing through Wedding Guide Asia, and now I am floating on a cotton candy cloud, swathed in a fluffly layered gown, dreamy with ideas of love and romance, and have my head filled with wedding favors, cupcakes, centerpieces and whatnots.


I cannot begin to tell you how all these happy pictures of dancing guests, kissing wedded couples, breathtaking floral bouquets and jubilant toasting makes a girl go 'awwwww'. And also make us want to get married. Like NOW NOW NOW. Haha.

Before I show you some of my favorite pictures from the site, coincidentally, I have some wedding-related news to share with you all! No la, no ring on my finger the last I checked. But well, some of you might remember me gushing on and on about my ex-colleague's wedding sometime in September (the first ever wedding of a friend's that I am attending! What to do, all my friends are commitment phobic, haha).


Guess what. He just asked me to be the emcee for his wedding. -__-


Wait, you haven't heard the punchline yet. He wants me to emcee... in Chinese.


-________________-


I will be doing it with another colleague of mine, who will be hosting in English (whereas I will handle the Chinese presentation),'cause he's a total banana. So I got the worse end of the deal. -_-


They tried to assure me that whatever impromptu banter can be done in English. And yes, I know I have impressive wit and the ability to think on my feet...*cough* But to do so in Chinese??? REALLY???


Sigh, the things I do for a friend.


I gave my ex-colleague a semi-consent, 'cause it was hilarious watching him trying to persuade me to take up the job. We were at drinks on Friday, and he managed to twist everything back to the emcee job, bless his soul.

I guess it will be fun. The wedding will be at Capella Singapore, which is only the newest, most luxurious hotel in Singapore.










The bridal suite-- where the bride will be getting ready, chit-chatting with her bridesmaids to sooth her nerves etc.





Apparently the ballroom will be looking over the the South China Sea.... How gorgeous is that! Don't really think I should be passing up a chance like that....


And please don't judge me, but the first thing that came into my mind when he asked me to be the emcee was "Omg, what am I going to wear???" with pictures of strapless gowns, toga dresses, silks, satins, lace, colors of rich plums, pale lavender, baby pink streaking through head. Heh.


Anyway, back to the Wedding Guide Asia, below are some of the articles that caught my eye!

**********************************

In the train, a father was carrying his little daughter, who turned to him and told him, "Daddy, I want pink pink on my cheeks!" while patting her cheeks at the same time. She meant blusher! Cutest thing I have seen today.



My manager wanted to me to do up a document with me having no background or information on the group of companies in question. I looked at him wryly, "So you want me to bull??" He replied me, "I know you can do it." Most flattering thing said to me today.


'Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life...' Cleverest thing I have heard today.


My maternal instincts went raging just now. I saw the tiniest Caucasian baby, lying in her mommy's arms... Her head is the size of my fist, for god's sake. I wanted to bring her home! Most fell-in-love moment today.


Got badgered relentlessly in the lift just now by a middle-aged lady who insisted on knowing where I got my Kate Spade work bag from ("Very nice! Very nice!"). I think I spelled 'Kate Spade' to her for at least 5 times. Most random moment today.


I took half-day MC today, got a terrible cold. Came home, and popped the non-drowsy pill that the doctor prescribed for the day. Turns out I popped the night pill instead-- the drowsiness-inducing one, and slept from 4pm to 9pm. Most fml moment of the day.

Thud.

That day halfway through soaping my hair in the bathroom, my showerhead dropped off.

With a sickening thud, it hit the floor, as I looked at it in confusion.

I didn't quite fancy going out in the buff to play the part of a damsel in distress, so I held up the pipe connecting to the showerhead, and continued my bath. Felt a bit like a dog taking its bath wtf.



And that's not the only thing that is falling apart in my life! My health is also deteriorating. -_-
My sitting bone (at the risk of sounding crass, it's the bone at the tip of your butt crack) has been hurting for a few weeks already. The pain was unbearable at times, for example when I sneeze. The 5-hour long bus journeys back home was also hell due to the pain. I was quite worried it has something to do with the spine, especially after I heard horror stories of my colleague who woke up one day and suddenly found that she couldn't move her body-- it was some sort of nerve infection. And when I exclaimed shock at the trauma that she must have gone through, my senior just waved it away with a "Bah, it's very normal with auditors'.

Gulp.

Anyway, during my 1 week break back home, I managed to schedule an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. The entire consultation took 10 minutes max, and involved no surgical appliances, X-ray devices or any form of removal of my apparel (I didn't quite fancy showing the doctor my bum). Instead, he asked me a few questions, and deduced that it's due to my long hours at work (the pain only started after my crazy kamikaze work-till-5am week). He also gave me a brochure featuring the correct positions to sit, stand and to lift heavy objects. Heh.


The moral of the story? Sit right, stand right, and take care of your spine!
