wrapping up.

It's gonna be 2012 in a few days time and I have to say that 2011 is not too bad for me.

I can't remember if I made any New Year resolutions, I don't think so cos I always don't work towards them anyway. Gained a few friends & weight, lost some friends and someone dear to me this year but I got myself a Fiance too.

I grew up a lot this year. Trying to adapt to my work, buying a house, working out my finances, appreciating my family more...the list goes on. Tried to salvage some friendships too but couldn't be bothered after that. I foresee myself going through a difficult 2012 but I'm being positive, Insyallah things will turn around.

Came across this article on FB and after reading it, I promised not to punish myself in doing things that I should not. Here read this great article up.

Am excited for friends and family who will be tying the knot and I guess 2012 is the year where I have to compete with 71635197537 other 2013 Malay brides to secure our preferred vendors. Looking forward to the crazy planning and constant arguments!

I have major plans that will affect my life. I have decided to switch jobs and probably take a pay cut. A big deal for someone who is planning her wedding. I am *SO* prepared to hear the barrage of criticism that will be thrown at me but I don't care. I'd rather switch jobs than be unhappy.

Have a couple of goals that I would like to strike off on 31st December 2012.

1) Find a new for me (preferably office hours)
2) Find a new job for Mom
3) Book Andaman
4) Book Catering
5) Book Photography & Videography
6) Book Deco
7) By the end of 2012 I need to have at least 70%  of my targeted Wedding Fund
8) Attend religious classes and brush up on my Quran reading
9) Keep my hair long
10) QUIT the Cancer sticks
11) Lose weight (yes yes year in, year out script sama je macam radio karat)

For once, I believe these goals are achieveable, antara nak ke taknak je. :P Insyallah boleh! Mau yakin je! YES LET'S GO!

So bye 2011. HELLO CRAZY WEDDING PLANNING 2012!

Let Us Be Wed.

Attended L&L's beautiful wedding party on 10th December. It was awesome!

Not the usual stuffy sit down dinner, it was free and easy, food was delicious, drinks aplenty and the best of all, they had the INSTANT PHOTOBOOTH AND AN ICE CREAM CART! The BEST wedding party I've been to! Photos + Ice cream = WIN.

What love is made of. 

Table card.

Lovely couple, Luqman & Lizah.

With my 2 FSILs & Fizah.

4th in line! So longggg. :<

I loveeeee the instant photobooth but I bet it costs a bomb and I'm not sure if it is worth spending on. Just like Chiavari chairs. Had a little chat with my FSIL who is gonna tie the knot next year and she urged me to book the vendors quickly. A bit panicky right now cos I heard people are already booking for 2014!

Are.you.serious.

Anyways, we've (more like me) shortlisted the vendors. Now I'm more focused on saving up. I don't believe in grand weddings but I don't want it to be too shabby either. Yang sederhana tapi yang sederhana pon pakai duit oi. Glad that I finally terminated my gym membership with FF. Kinda pointless since I haven't been going for any classes. So yup, saved a bit there.

Shortlisted my bridesmaids too, haha. I really hope they're efficient and are able to help me while tangkap-ing glamour.

We'll see how it goes, quite early to say isn't it? :)
