The Ex-Bridezilla: PHD (Post Honeymoon Disorder)

It has been a few weeks since we came back from Maldives and I have been officially diagnosed with PHD…Post Honeymoon Disorder. Back to work has not been easy… after the wedding I was obsessed with the wedding photos and the video…now I am obsess in beach holidays. I try to work…really… honest…I swear!! but I always end up surfing the net for luxurious resorts, villas, in exotic places… pressing the calculator to see how much it will cost us…doing all that with a very serious face…

This morning I was again talking to Jack bout places to go… he shut me up, telling me that we are not spending on any expensive holidays for the next 10 years!!! NEXT 10 YEARS!!! No way…must he be joking… I know he is…he F**king better be!! Aarrgghhh…I can feel the withdrawal feeling again…

I dunno what it is but I just want to lay on the beach and do nothing…`cept to get a nice golden reddish brown tan…(lobster is what most people would call it). I mean why am I feeling so miserable? Its not like I am not going places…my weekends is filled until end of January next year! Ah well… I better find something to do to get my mind off the beach holidays…hhmmm Phuket? Bali? Samui? Aahhhh nice…I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION!

The Making of the Wedding Album: Part One

I would have thought that after picking photos from our pre-wedding shots it would be easy peasy…but noooooooooooo… my photographer (believe me he is fantastic and I love him and his crew dearly ) pos laju-ed our dvds to me… to my surprise it was only 3 DVDs…not too bad I tot… but NOOOOOoooooooo…when I open the files for 1 of the DVD there was about 1000 photos in it ( no wonder he store in DVD – excuse me…I am not tech savvy), and so were the other 2. So basically there are about 3000 photos to pick and dear Patrick told me to only pick 250 photos to put in the wedding album that he was going to make for us. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY OUT OF THREE THOUSAND!!!! I bloody hell dunno how to do that… I love all the photos!!! ALL..AARrgggg the agony of it!

The Bridal Crew @ Penang Reception*

Good pictures ehh..actually there is more. Now do you see my problem?

Actually, we had another photographer for our Penang events specially to follow my dear father around…you see…my dad like taking photos by urmm…lining up in one line…u know like the kind you see in group pics... so well… that is why. With that photographer, I will not disclose his name as I truly wanted to punch the daylight out of him if he ever asks me as how he would put it “lai lai lai sin neow stand to your right…ok…look at me…” My claws were out…

Anyways…yadda…yadda…should have punch him!! In total I think I have about close to 4000 raw photos plus minus. So now…our strategy to select the photos is to decide what sort of album we want… after not much thought we decided we want it to be fun and candid…

Selecting photos are never easy…but I manage to shortlist to about well 1500 photos…good enough rite? Hahahaha who am I kidding… Patrick will kill kill kill me if I were to select so many for him…

Well…so now I would have to cut down on the selection again until I reach 250…fingers cross…

The Maldives: Where The Ex-Bridezilla Finally Chill

KANI, MALDIVES

Gosh…THE MALDIVES…HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! Breathtaking!!! 1st actual relaxing holiday after we got married or more like after we returned back to Malaysia…most people would call it HoNEYMOOn… we call it getting away from everyone, everything that we know… mobile phone switch off, no newspapers, no CNBC, no bankers, no stockbrokers, NOTHING but us, booze and the crystal clear waters and sunny skies…ahhhhh…can almost taste the sea rite now….

Finally after all this time, I manage to feel absolutely relax…no knots on my shoulders, no migraines, no stress… it is as though everything just got stop at the Maldives immigration … only me, my bikinis not forgetting my hubby manage to get thru…the rest…well hehehehe…they took the next flight back to Malaysia…

For 7 days 7 nights… we manage to relax and re-discover ourselves again… we manage to find what made us love each other so much… and I realize I have forgotten how much fun we used to have, how NOT anal I was before…life was perfect…blissful…

The Bridezilla: Part Two

How did I, a good natured person become such an evil person? How did I become a Bridezilla? Many years ago, while I was studying in Melbourne, I was hooked onto a TV reality show, BRIDEZILLA. J, my live-in-partner then (my hubby now), told me..."Oh my God, U are going to be like that!!" I was like HELL no way!!!...well...J, could see the future...J could see me rite thru...J knew who I really was. I mean, I know I am an anal person, a neat freak, a perfectionist, but no one can be a perfectionist.

J and I knew we were gonna get married; we knew it was the next thing to do after being together for 5 years. So things just fell into place naturally, we went to pick out my diamond...I picked out my own setting design for my "almost" perfect stone. What came as a huge surprise when we were back in our Melbourne home when one morning with his whale breath, J turn over and woke me up, gave a corny love speech to me which neither he or I can remember and ask me to marry him. WAIT A MINUTE!!! I tot that MY diamond ring was back in Malaysia being set; I can't say YES right now...I need a ring on my finger. Well...he bought a substitute ring for me...how sweet can J be sometimes...OF coz I sed YES... duh!! but he did took me by surprise....tears, kisses, hugs and all... yadda yadda yadda...I got my engagement ring and I think I misplaced my substitute ring. (note to self: find the substitute ring by end of 2006).

After I got my rock sometime in May 2005, I started building castles in my head on my dream wedding... I wanted many things... I wanted a beach wedding attended only by close friends and favoured family members only, well... that castle was not approved by the council, so scrap that. I immediately started looking around for reception venues for both Penang and KL, seeing that J is from KL. I also got a good advice from a very good friend of mine, both of us equally anal. She asked me to get a wedding planner. Hhhmmmm...that never occurred to me a bit to hire a wedding planner, I tot I could be a hero and do it all by myself. But she sed I am better off with a planner...AGREED!

Oppsss I got side track… let see…how did I became a Bridezilla. Well…one thing is for sure when we met our wedding planner, I wanted to be “the” PLANNER. J tot I was nuts…why would you wanna hire a wedding planner when you yourself wanted to plan, organize and execute. That was the first sign!!

The Bridezilla: Part One

My short lived life as a Bridezilla is over... or is it?

What is a "Bridezilla" you may ask? Well...take an ANAL Bride-to-be, add it with the stresses of planning a wedding or a wedding festival to make sure it is BETTER than perfect, plus a slacker-husband-to-be who does nothing (in my opinion that is), and many other factors, you get a BRIDEZILLA!!!

24 days ago, I was carrying out my well planned wedding ceremony (will detailed it out later). Well kinda think of it, it was like a freaking circus!!! With so many traditions, so many reception dinners, a golf tournament, god knows how many luncheons, prayers and the list go on. You would think gosh...woman are you MAD!! But hey that was not it. My dad made MY wedding into his high school reunion. So of course I morphed into a Bridezilla!

To think it will all be over now and my hubby(also know as my man-whore) and I would be on our honeymoon ...NOooooOPES!!! We are still working and still have one more dinner to go...this Saturday nite... apparently for my dad's entire team of staff!!! Well at least I am not involved in planning that. Thank God for that as many people would just died all over again! Then again I kinda like being a Bridezilla....no...I LOVED being a Bridezilla...
