Back On Track
Yeap, the Jemej is back. After a most emotional last week.
Tracker says "4 months 2 weeks & 1 day to our Wedding Day". Time now to start planning the details. Got started on the invite list. It already looks scary, a potential headache. My dad springs in with some obsure Chinese customs (that also relating to Gai Gai Ma Ma's passing) that will also potentially drive me up the wall. I think it is perfectly right to follow the basic customs, but not to a point whereby it may cause friction between 2 parties. I can so faint when I think about it. I threatened to skip the ceremonial wedding and do a beautiful simple one in Bali. Haha.
Mudgod was delighted to hear about the customs. He suggested for me to compile them into a 10-year series and pass over to him when it's his turn. Gee, maybe someone should really start this guidebook, to help our parents us better understand the difference between "customs" and "superstition".
House is almost completed too. Waiting for the arrival of the furniture and some final touch-ups. The headache will come when it's time to unpack our staff and start a system of organisation in an entirely new layout/configuration of storage space - the space is an entire house now, no longer confined to just "my room".
Breathe.... breathe....

jem :: u so funny lah.
ej :: every father mother will have some customs to follow, at the very last minute. advice :: if it doesn't clash with christianity, just accomodate. it doesn't mean anything to us but it means alot to the elder generation.
lilsnooze > Me trying not to panic amidst this stress from dad. But yeah, you are right. Especially the last line. Thanks for the encouragement babe! :)
Mr Munchkin > You sound quite relax. Have you done your invite list...? =p
