My husband is going home with his bride. The very next day after the dinner.
*gulp*
It’s confirmed.

“Birds of a feather flock together”
Do they really when it comes to marriage and faith?
I am one of those Christians who married a non-believer and ended up being labeled as sinful and untrue to my faith. By who? By my own fellow brothers and sisters. My marriage according to them is sinful and tainted in God’s eyes because according to scripture, I’m supposed to stick to a Christian man.
I have always told myself that this is something that is between me and God, that I really shouldn’t care but I feel the need to stand up for God’s quirky plans. Yes, I know He can stand up for Himself but I would like to explain the background to this awkward match anyway.
…
My journey of love began a very long time ago when as a child, I first formed an idea of my knight in shining armour. Oddly enough, some of the qualities I wanted in a man then are still the ones I look for today – wit, wisdom and heart. But above all everything else, as a child, I wanted to be married to a godly man. Yes, I asked God to send me a good Christian man who would love me, understand me and more importantly, help me grow. I had a long list; a list that included physical, mental and emotional capabilities.
As I grew older and became more aware of my faith and importantly, my place in this world that we live in, I began to realize that sometimes God doesn’t give us what we want. He gives us what we need. And somehow He felt that what I needed right now as a life partner was not a Christian man. To be honest, I’m married to someone who hates the church and sometimes sees God as non-existent. Nil can strangle me right now!
The diet is back on!
Okies, two inches and two kiloes…that’s the target this time.
Just got back from my dress fitting and apparently all the outfits are too fitting especially around the booby area (plus tummy). I think it’s all that siew ngor I had in Hong Kong.
Anyway, here’s to Iko Iko oat biscuits and the stepper machine every day till then! Oh, have to tell Nil that I can’t get pregnant either. Otherwise, bye bye dress!
*sighs* The things we women do for a day…in my case, it’s a night!
Something about HK (and M’sia).
Come 18 November, citizens from this once British-y island will be casting their votes for the state district elections. Advertisements have been rolling out on TV and non-media related mediums like billboards and stuff.
Come 31 January 2008, the public poll for the proposed taxi fare increase in HK will close. Members of the public can send it their thoughts on the matter via email, some website comment page, fax or call in to a dedicated line.
Meanwhile, on 10 November 2008, Malaysia’s Prime Minister was quoted saying the following in a major English daily.
Walnut brownies with nut brittle
These little babies will be off tomorrow to my old office together with some wedding invitations and someone’s missing plane ticket. Heh.
Loot from HK!
The damage? RM1.6K (Unbelievable right?)
The loot? Here’s the whole huge list:
- Toner (biggest size), day and night cream plus eye cream from Lancome
- Eye cream and night cream sample size from Lancome
- Three shirts from G2000
- Two silk ties from Italy
- Two flannel zip-up jackets
- One round neck flannel sweater
- Three sweaters (two cashmere and one wool)
- One cable knit pullover
- Three 2-piece woolen cardigan
- One brown knitted coat

- Five eight-ball pack of lambswool yarn
- Two three-ball pack of wool yarn
- Twenty-nice balls of alpaca-wool yarn
- Four balls of variegated wool yarn
- Four balls of tweedy wool yarn
My shopping list originally called for only items for Nil, two coats and yarn for two sweaters but because I had so much leftover cash, I went ahead and bought items off my list. Mum and I found bargains everywhere from this Sasa-equivalent called Bonjour (they offer 35% discount on a lot of their products compared to 25% at Sasa – for the same items) to the shops at Ladies Market, Temple Street, Causeway Bay and even at Ngau Tau Kok!
Definitely a favourite place for shopping!!!!! Oh, did I mention that the siew ngor (roast goose) was fab????? Le Lapin thinks I’ve gone nuts shopping for so many things. Yes, finally got to met that skinny unshaven dude after one year of chatting online! That blur sotong left his plane ticket with me. So now, I have to see him again…will probably try and get him some of that Hainanese chicken rice that he has been craving for. Heh.
HK here I come!
Yup…am on my way to HK for a quick shopping spree. My shopping list sees items like winter jackets and yarn! Really, what did you expect??? Yarn addict here, remember?
See you on Sunday! Oh, Happy Deepavali!
Bling blings anyone?
From bags to ears to the hair…a wedding is not a wedding without a couple of blings! The items each cost anywhere between RM25 to free (yay for gifts!)!!!
