Exercise makes me hungry but not much lighter... *humpt*
I have at least 5kg to lose by next month so that I can look gorgeous in my wedding photos. I dread seeing my photos. Gosh I look like a whale now :P

Been exercising at least 2X a week, eating lesser and I still don't see much results. And it doesn't help that American Next Top Model is on TV now :P

Ok ok, I'm more than my weight. Relax and just be a happy bride. 4 more months to go.

And here are my bridesmaid, Joy, Cindy and Eeleen :) Thanks girls.

Chocolate fondue is heavenly

Thanks to Victor for buying the chocolate fondue fountain, I finally got to experience the heavenly taste of flowly chocoalate dipped in strawberry, marhshmellow. Thanks for offering to loan it to me on my wedding, I'm sure my guest will lurve it too.

Anyway I was telling Cindy and Victor that I dread it when the couple show photographs of their childhood to school days to dating days during the reception before the wedding dinner. I just find it very cliche.. For me I would love to have a video of well wishes from my friends, colleagues, relatives. Story of how we met, our courtship, our decision to tie the knot, etc. That would make it so much more meaningful that pictures where you look, well not so pretty. Oh and dedications of songs, dances, etc to keep the guest and the wedding couple entertained.

Thanks to Cindy who's preparing a Hen's party for me! *hugs* So exciting, but please ah, nothing naughty. No stripper or embrassing things to do.

So much to look forward too for the wedding, the house and most importantly the life ahead together with the man of my dreams :)One more week to Valentine's Day too.

There has been quite a bit of happenings in my life over these past few week.

1. I've left my banking job and am going to join an insurance company this coming Friday. One where I work from 8:30-5:15pm, where there's dress down fridays, birthday leave :) Little perks like these makes me feel this is one organization that cares already.

2. My home renovation has started! Yes and for those that know the story, it is a funny one that took me and alexis by surprise. But we have been quite happy with the progress so far. The false ceiling and tiles for the flooring are all done. Next will be the lighting and carpentary. I feel so excited I wanna post many many pictures to share. But I feel so torn with the color schemes. How I wish I were more atuned to such things. I want my house to look swee!

3. We started to buy our home furniture, aircon, eletric appliances, hob, hood, sink, lighting, etc. Our funds are slowly depleting. Scary how much a new house and a wedding can set you back by. But to all who are planning to start your lives together, don't let this hamper your plans because the fruits of it will be sweet as you both start on your lives together surving on water, bread and love. Oh no I've been hit by the love bug so actually say that ;P

4. Alexis new car, the red picanto is coming soon! So excited and we bought our mascott for the car, none other than the very red guy himself, Elmo! Very soon, we'll be zipping about in our new cutesy looking automobile.

5. I have choosen my gowns, both for the actual day and the photography. I absolutely love my wedding gown which I designed and got the designer to sew it. I do think I can make it on the show, Project Runaway too, minus the sewing part. I think the style of the gown is so reflective of me with the pink beadings, so sweet. *haha* And more sweetness in the evening gown too with flowly flowers. And because of all the fittings, I think I have to shed some weight to look pretty in my gowns.

6. So I bought new goggles, weights and cook books to start on my new healthy lifestyle. So far so good. I attempted to cook myself a healthy dinner of udon and it turned out quite bad, even I'm not too keen on it. I'm just thankful Alexis is not particular about food. For someone who doesn't fancy the finer cusine and cant tell food when it has gone back.. I think he'll eat anything. Not that I'll make him eat bad food.. Anyway we have a KFC and a MacDonalds within walking distance from our home so he can always go grab a bite if my cooking still doesn't improve :P
