Nowadays damn lazy for everything and anything. At work, do everything I can muster, reach home, slack till bed time. I don’t even find thrill in anything than just idle behind my laptop and surfing around aimlessly. Like a firefly; euphoric about the fucking light on my ass, thinking of the endless possibility my ass can be, in the end, I’m only fucking myself…

Moving on, my wedding preparation… We did the necessary first and what could be more important than breaking the news to our Moms. Maybe I have seen too many Chinese serial dramas (bad I tell you); holly cow, MOMs didn’t kick my ass as logic would dictate. Well, after getting all the necessity out of the way, we started on the wedding planning.

Han recommended a 2 months’ timeline to complete the entire proceeding; including the customary wedding man! Along the way, we also discover this little known fact/problem about our dear old Registry of Marriage law where it has a mandatory 3 week notice posting on its website (for people to object lah… In line with the law, whatever that means). It kind of shorten the already shorten phase. We have had to get all these out within 2 months or before her tummy gets a little obvious.

But we are Super Mom & Dad. Following this SUPER reason, one full month was all we needed. Amazingly but true and it supported my hypothesis that

1. Humans are basically fuckers… why?
2. Because give them too many choices, and their brain freezes… (read Inefficiently dumb)

Choices (or lacked of it) make it easier for everyone. Luckily for us, we got the bridal package, wedding dinner, nitty gritty details all ironed out (with numerous trips to the gynecologist included) within the first 3 weeks, leaving one whole week to relax one corner. It wasn’t easy; tempers flare, tears were lost, hands were bitten (I joke I joke)… But thank goodness, everything goes smoothly on the biggest day of our life, 12 October 2009.

On the appointed time 7am on 12 October, we left for the Chinese customary marriage. I tried to make it as relaxing and easy on our life as possible for the day’s event. I mean, why stress us and those of our dearest friends and relatives on the happiest day of our life? I have seen my share of wedding preparations and ceremonies that runs on military clockwork. Damn, you wouldn’t want to be in their shoes and yet for all their hardship done willingly, they still complained. DUH… They endure these pains and rehearsal because they WANTED IT TO BE THE BEST!!! Come on, at the end of the day, to whom you gona impressed? What the guests going to remember you by? I mean, I don’t even remember 95% of the weddings I attended so why the fuck you think I gona remember yours? Anyway, I supposed, to each its own. We live our life to our expectation and we have decided to make this life a nice little cuddly world.

Earlier, I was contemplating to make this either a chronological or an event (like marriage – pre & post, pregnancy etc) but decided on the former. Given my lack of attention span, I think this is the best way forward. Yes yes, whatever that means…

We are so looking forward spending the rest of our life together and awaiting the arrival of our little bundle of joy; Amelia. Daddy and Mommy waiting ever so patiently; be safe and healthy. Oh yes, go slow on the tantrum part, mommy is in a rather lethargic state for the longest time.

And in all God’s wonders and glories, we love you so much

Good Night Amelia, Snoopy, Woodstock & Snoopy’s Mummy
