The Big Day II | Seal

July 20, together with my family, I arrived at “Land below the wind”.

I introduced my family to the beauty of the land…a land they never been before.

We have an exciting and fun time. Here are the few things that happened…

1. The Preparation – I am down with fever. Need lots of sleep…zzzZZZzzz
2. Tea Ceremony – A session filled of laughter. I think…I am the most blessed girl who gets to do this with jean and t-shirt. ^_~
3. Sabah Seafood – Everyone say…you must have seafood if you go Sabah. So, we have a table filled with seafood. Simply abundant.
4. The Signing – Officially take place on July 21, 9am at the Malaysia awards winning, the most beautiful registry room. Here’s a funny conversation take place…
   As I am taking over the document from JP…
   “Mrs Chua, is your turn now…”
   “Oh, Mrs Chua?” Immediately I pass the document to JP’s mom. Everyone in the room pauses and laughs out loud.
   “You are Mrs Chua….”
   So…u should know what happen next ^_~
5. The Dinner – Honestly, I didn’t expect this. I too have a Chinese dinner in a Chinese Restaurant and getting greeting all night long. Cheers ^_~
6. The return – I am down with fever again due to the extreme weather in KK. 43 degree in the day and down to 16 at night.I realize I am not as strong as I taught I am.

Well, here are some photos taken in a 5 star resort. Something cheesy…yeah ^_~

This is our first set of photos taken by my elder sister, Amy. I always stand behind the camera, hardly in front…so…we look kinda awkward yeah?

Okie dokie…stay tune for my part III. I put up my flower and dress!
Lastly, the next photos is taken by my favorite photographer…Jon Low!

Cheers!

The Big Day I | Preparation

The Card – It was after a long and careful thought, included JP & my preference (more of mine, to be honest ^_~), I designed this card. It was “The Card” because other than the printing, which is done by the printer, everything else is hand made, including the die-cut flora on the envelop.

I have serious preference with hand craft and personal touch… the result of too much digital graphic and media printing. Nothing in the market can fulfill my complicated requirement. So, I ended up doing everything my own, telling the story my way.

Thanks to Vic, Hoon Hoon, CY and JP help for making this happen. We spend hours in putting things together. It’s awesome!

Eventually, I love the result. Those who received it, I hope you like it too.

The Verse – I am wondering what verse should I choose for the big day. My favorite verse from Roman 8:31 “If God be for us, who can be against us” is not applicable for this joyous event. After several round of searching, I notice this cross given to me by my sister Amy. Immediately, I shared with JP and we both find it very meaningful.

So, here you go…”The verse” taken from 1 Corinthians 13:13 “These three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Stay tune for more posts for “The big day”. Sorry for taking so long. As you know…the preparation is simply tedious, especially when you are trying to put everything up within 3 months. It is quite a task.

Cheers ^_~

Little wonders

I am not posting this because I am lazy but I am so in love with this song.

Thanks to Erwin for sharing. You never fail to enlighten my day. I got the MESSAGE behind the song…”I AM”. ^_~

Felt like sun shining over my head…life filled with little wonders as this…
da da…da da…da…da…

Here’s the Lyric for LUCKY by Jason Mraz.

Do you hear me?
I’m talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my and baby I’m trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohhohhohhohh

Remark: JP, this is the song I am talking about…

if love. love if

Love is in season again…like always.

Yet, not all love story are sweet…mostly, love taste like a mix flavor of sweet, spicy, sour and bitter…

~ The Tempting Heart ~

After several hours of struggle, she rush her way to see him…even though she’s sick, even though is only for a short 1/2 hour.

In her heart, she know…that will be the last. Now, or never will be.

She pray…that will be the last.
She pray…he will not catch her.

Tomorrow, everything will no longer be the same.

She know she can’t go any further, although her heart desire to be with him badly. Yet, she need to keep a safe distance, safe enough for her to see him, and for him to know she’s there, yet far enough for her to rush away before he catch her.

She can’t let her heart fell. It has to end right at the thin grey line. Any extra step would cause chaos!

She know it clearly…they wasn’t mean for one another.

It is too late to start all over. Simply too late.

He didn’t catch her.

Could it be destine for them to miss one another? Maybe…

Remark: In the drama, we would usually encourage “her” to run away with him. However, in actual life…no one can run away from responsibility over family and society.

When the consequences too great, she can only run away from him, run away from her love for him…

~ The Saddest Part of love ~

She wishes he could say something different, yet all he has were hurting. She wonders could it be just her imagination that none of the feeling was true. He does not love her?

Yet, she desire for his voice even though none of the words he say is for her.

He has her heart. Yet, he will never know he has it.

She decided to seal it in a corner of her heart…forever.

She move on.

“…the saddest part of love…I stand in front of you yet you don’t know I love you” written by a famous writer.

Remark: This is the saddest one. All I can say…it would be different if he has more courage. I believe…the result will be different. He probably too worry about getting hurt. He might really stand a chance…

Should he fail, at least he tried.

I think…the regret of not trying is worst than failure.

~ One deserved to be love ~

If she can start all over again, she probably would not accept him in the first place. Yet, she’s too afraid of being alone, so she decided to grab on to what is offered to her.

Sometime, she wonders if she’s just observing the relationship, or she’s involved in the relationship. Did she ever ask for more, or she’s waiting for more. But how if none will come true because he will never know…

“Do you really want me?” she ask
“Do you really need me?” he ask

It is just a matter of time that all have to come to an end. Because, when the world falls on her, she has to carry it her own…he never have a place in her heart.

She knew the consequences of the decision, yet it is the hardest part for a kind soul as her.

It is the one act that will kill her hope, her worth, her dream and her love.

Above all…is hope.

Remark: We always forget that love required lots of courage. It is crazy and most of the time out of control. It is better to be forgetful and careless, rather than being conscious and careful.

Love is precious… that is why it is hard to get.

The only way to attract love is to first love, first give. It required a strong hold of faith and trust in oneself, that one deserved to be love, to be happy.

It is when she found herself, her pace, being honest to her life…her true potential will reveal and shine like a morning sun.

Love will find her. I believe.
