you just cant win with mothers. This is the case today, yesterday, the day before or the past one year. Okay, let me re-phrase this. maybe the whole of my adult life.
She seems to think the people I am inviting to the wedding will not show up. [Reason: Because Young People dont RSVP and even if they do, they dont tell you that they're cancelling]
Okay. I wish I can say otherwise, but I HAVE seen partially filled weddings (its just too evil to say 'empty') and of course, after organizing several dinners and reunions, have become all too familiar with the 'I'm sick, cant make it', 'I've got some relative I need to visit' and of course, 'Im so sorry, my boss asked me to stay back today'.
So, I cant really blame my mom for being overly-concerned over the fact that I want my close friends to be there, cause acknowledging the fact that the wedding is on a Friday (working day), I foresee a few absentees. Scares the shit out of me. Wont my friends be by my side??!!!!! Yikes!
Hmmm.
Right now, im going to just shut down. and hope, hope, hope that those who have said Ok will show up. And I cry at the pelamin because Im happy and NOT because there's no one there. [haha, looky me. Planning to cry already....ahahaha]
Sayang, I love you coz you let me invite friends to your side too. If we have extra money, we do our own party after the wedding okay!!

Jay the Baker
i have been eating non-stop lately. I believe due to stress and because lately I dont observe the three-meals a day routine. I often forget to eat because we'll be out shopping.
The other day, I found a great cake-maker, Jay the Baker, who came by recommendation. Apparently her work is exclusive and only by appointment. So, there was this hush-hushness about the whole thing.
So, by the time my appointment actually took place, she showed me one of her cakes and I fell in love with it. It has the softest texture and the it actually melted in my mouth. Needless to say, I am now recommending her to others who are looking for someone who will bake you a cake that doesnt taste like other people's cakes (you know, seen that, ate that feeling). Give it a go. You wont be disappointed.
Jay the Baker can be contacted at 012-3836 6891 (10.00 a.m to 5p.m on weekdays and weekends)

To Lee Yee with Love
I have been a bit off lately as there was a bit of huha over errors in the invites, huha over the favours and yes, my flower girls have grown [they are at that age when growth is super-fast] and they want new dresses! Im also juggling flowers and decoration at home. I think i need a break!
well, thank God there is Lee Yee. Today's post is dedicated to Lee Yee coz she's been sooooooo kinddd and soo supportive!
Lee Yee and I believe that we were fated to meet because our paths had crossed so many times without us realising it ! I knew her as the 'Politician', during orientation but we never hit it off. A few months later, on our call day, we ended up helping each other with our bibs! We never knew each others names.
On my first day of work, I met Lee Yee, & she was also starting at the same firm! So from there on, there was no stopping us! We were then lunch mates, shopping mates, after-6 mates, boss-bashing mates! Lee Yee would often come to my room seeing me crying (stress*stress*stress) and I would go to Lee Yee's room to eat, eat, eat. Hahaha.
So its unsurprising that for this wedding, Lee Yee has been an angel! She has accompanied me to a zillion places [from the dodgiest not to mention creepiest to the ultra luxe..hahaha] AND has not made a single complaint about spending the whole weekend with me! (I've checked with her manymany times, you know, just in case!)
and when the cards were ready, she was ever ready to help me collect it. She even wanted to do the ribbons at the side, but we kinda asked the card-makers to do it-lah. Penatlah kalau nak buat everything right?
At the same time, Lee Yee has offered her ideas and comments without fail. If its not pretty, she'll tell me. If its pretty but not beautiful, she'll also tell me. If its ugly, she'll make a face!
& the good thing about Lee Yee is that she's imaginative. She can think out of the box and she's up for the challenge. After all, she is helping me plan a Malay wedding! [Her knowledge of it was zilch!but now, she knows all the best spots in town to get things! ]
And she's equally as KAKI JALAN as I am! We can do miles together! (Actually we can do several shopping malls in a day. But u gotta be disciplined!)
and you know what, she drove all the way from KL to help me find materials for the girls. Who would do that?!
Well, I just thought I'd pen this down, coz I want her to know that I really appreciate her time and patience and all the effort she has put in. i'm glad there's someone that can keep me sane at times like this!
Love yah Lee Yee! Thank you very much!
