Anything & Everything Under The Sun

The colour blue… that’s the colour Ken & I chose to be our wedding theme colour. It’s a colour we both like very much and I would like to relate most of my wedding stuffs to the colour blue.

At first I wanted to have blue with silver writing invitation cards but because my mom in-law prefered not to, just to respect her request, I decided to change my invitation card to cream gold. Then the evening gown that I chose from the Red Bliss is also blue. Ken said I look really good in it. I think there should be no objection to this.

Since I can’t get Red Bliss to get me blue flowers for my bridal bouquet, I went to As You Like It Flowers in Sri Hartamas the recent Saturday to special order the bridal bouquet, groom and best man’s corsage and the bridesmaid wrislets. My bridal bouquet will consists of white roses with baby blue ribbons. The corsages and wrislets will be made accordingly to match my bridal bouquet. Since I won’t be needing the bridal bouquet provided by Red Bliss, they’ve actually exchanged the bouquet to 16 corsages (4 VIP corsages and 12 normal corsages) instead. Now I will have corsages for our immediate family members and friends helping us that day.

Next is the netting for the bridal car. Since blue is not one of the given choices, Ken & I went to Petaling Street to buy our very own blue netting. I’ve sent the blue netting I bought to Red Bliss today for their safe keeping. Joey (the person-in-charge of my file) asked me whether I’m sure that’s the colour I wanna use. I asked her why and she told me that it’s not a very commonly used colour. Weird…

I was told by a few colleagues that people usually relate the colour blue & white to the dead but that’s not what Ken and I thinks. We both love the colour blue and we’re not gonna let some superstition limit our decision making. This is a once in a lifetime event and we think we should actually make decisions that makes us happy rather than having to regret later on.

I’m still thinking of having the banquet hall decorated with metallic blue helium balloons but I still can’t find a very good supplier. I still have things like flower girls’ dresses, flower girls’ basket, invitation cards and a few other wedding stuffs to  think about and it’s getting me quite nervous coz I seem to have so much to do in so little time. I only have 2 more months to go and it’s not really very far away. These days, time seems to go by ever so quickly.

It’s getting late now and I haven’t been getting enough sleep for the past 3 weeks due to roadshow & wedding preparations. I think I’ll just sign off now and go to bed.

Good night…

I just came back to work after a few days outstation with my colleague doing training for all Senheng outlets located down South. At this very moment I’m sitting here in the conference room attending a product training with all my other sales department colleagues.

The fun part are the short quizzes. We are all trying to get our points as high as possible. My team is at second place at the moment and there are 2 other teams having same points sitting at first place now. I seem to enjoy this session at the moment coz it’s without the presence of the Death Eaters. Now we’re all going into the showroom to view some of the coming soon products. So hold on a second and I’ll be back to continue…

I’m BACK! We’re gonna have our quiz on hobs soon.

Let me update you about happenings lately. Being outstation is very tiring coz all we did was putting up POSMs and training the floor staffs about our products. Most of the training was done by my colleague and I just chipped in a bit here and there. It’s more tiring for her coz she had to drive around and talk to the staffs most of the time. We didn’t quite have the time to look for good food to eat coz there’s just not enough time. We ended up eating very ordinary stuffs… food you could get easily around KL.

For me it’s tiring coz I have been working for the past 2 weekends and also this coming weekend. That’s because of the trade fairs and roadshows that we’ve been participating. It becomes frustrating when one of the Death Eater began nagging. And the reason for why he nags does not seems to make sense. I just wished he was a radio that I could just put on mute! Thank God I have other colleagues who are supportive and comforting.

I just finished my last Harry Potter book last Saturday and I give it 2 thumbs up! I’ll have to pass the book to my youngest sister next coz she’s also another Harry Potter fan.

Now back to what’s happening now… The trainer is still talking about hobs and now making comparisons between ours vs competitors. I think he’s gonna finish anytime now and pass us the quiz. I’ll just sign off for now till have time to update my blog or at least something interesting to talk about.

I know, I know, there’s nothing much in my blog that actually captures your interest to read on. But at least I don’t need to bottle up things inside me. So… chiao for now.

I woke up this morning thinking to myself that I’m not gonna let things/people suck the joy of work in my life and continue doing my best as how I was 5 years ago when I first joined the company. But as I entered the 2nd hour of work today, it happened! If you are a Harry Potter fan, you’ll understand what happens when a Dementor approaches a person who does not know how to summon a Patronus.

This person I think is what I would consider a Dementor… sucks all the happiness and hope out of a person and leave nothing but remorse. I sit here and let my mind wander back 5 years when I first came here. My boss was great (she’s still great even when she’s now not my boss), my fellow colleagues were find and they’re quite a joy most of the time. I see many faces come and go but nothing much has changed till recently.

At first it was just a question mark hovering over this person. But as it moves on, it looks as if the question mark now became a smiley face that now changes to a Dementor from time to time. Just when I tried to smile back with open arms of welcome, that is when I receive a hard slap on my face. I’ve never felt so resentful and I really do hate having this feeling.

At times I felt like approaching this person and let this person know how torturing it is to be in this current situation but from what I see, I don’t think it will help nor make things any better. All I can do most of the time is spill out to my husband or to my 3 sisters at work. Though I know they can’t help me to summon a Patronus and keep the Dementor away but at least it helped to make my burden felt a bit lighter.

Now most of the time, I think of nothing but leaving and maybe I don’t to suffer like that anymore. Maybe they do intend to drive me towards that direction. Well, if that’s true, I would prefer they walk up straight to me and tell it to my face. Then maybe I don’t have to try so hard to defend myself and my position.

My wedding day is approaching and planning for it has already given me stress that I’m happy with and that’s what I’m looking forward to. It’s only 3 months away and I’m still preparing my wedding card invitation, looking out for bridesmaid and flower girl dresses, thinking of whether or not to custom make a suit for Ken and etc..

What happens at work after the weeding? I really don’t know…
