As most of you guys are exciting with us. Yeah... 11 more days...
but ... what are Kenneth and I doing to prepare this Big day...
Kenneth is painting the house (STILL) 2:47am in the morning....
Percy is ironing for Kenneth and prepare the house 2:48am in the morning...
Sometimes I do feel fear...
afraid of getting married...
afraid of changing my life style.
Once I get married, I know I will have no more pet in my life... I will need to learn how to ignore Kenneth's temper as he is getting more and more bad temper on me lately...
The temper can do... but the pet part.... it will be very difficult for me... Cookie will be my last pet....
11 more days....
11 more days... .... ...

TRADITIONS
I really want to share some pictures with you all, but unfortunately, the files can't upload on here. I don't know why...
These days... getting heated... Kenneth wanna finished up the house decoration. The blindings, the furniture setting, etc etc...
For me, wedding stuffs, There are somethings I really wanna DIY, I guess, I will do them next week. If I can do it, then that is good; if I can't do it, then let it be. I think it should be ok even not including any DIY thing...
Afterall, it is just a wedding, the beginning of our new chapter. I don't mind, and I don't really care those minor things.
Something was bothering me in the past week. Someone was telling me on how to do all those Chinese Traditions in order. But I don't understand why she had to put her way to do her wedding into my wedding. It really bothers me.
All about the TRADITIONS, but how should we follow the TRADITIONS? Yes, being Chinese should follow what so called "Tradition", but being a Christian and I don't think I should follow the WHOLE TRADITION.
I care about that person as my friend, but somehow she doesn't act like a person closed to me. I really mind what she said to me. But anyway... Good... after this... I will not go further in our friendship anymore...
Yeah, I am being Siu Hay... but this is my wedding, if both parents are ok with our decisions, she shouldn't say anything but support me, BUT not pointing to my nose and say how bad decision I made.
Ha Ha Ha!! Good... I have one less friend. I don't care!!!
Here you go....
Chinese Traditional Wedding Customs
1. Proposal & Engagement
When a couple decides to get married, a formal meeting of both parents is typically held to discuss the actual date of the wedding as well as the wedding banquet. It is a Chinese wedding tradition that the groom’s family presents various proposal gifts that represent fertility and prosperity in Chinese culture, known as the “Grand Gift”. On the acceptance of the “Grand Gift” by the bride’s family, an engagement will automatically be set up.
2. Pre-Wedding Customs
After the meeting of both parents, both families will make announcements to their relatives and friends. At the same time, the bride’s family would treat people to“Double Happiness Cakes”along with invitations to the wedding. The bride’s family would then prepare dowry and give a list of the dowries to the groom’s family. The groom’s family is also obliged to perform the“setting bridal bed”ritual.
3. Wedding Day Ceremony
On the day of wedding, the bride and the groom’s parents would compromise and come up with a “lucky hour” for the couple to carry out the traditional wedding ritual. For example, the bride’s family would implement the “hair combing” ritual while the groom’s family performs the “capping” ritual. The groom then sets off to the bride’s home, with the bridesmaids inevitably blocking him at the door. The bridesmaids will then challenge the groom by asking impeccably difficult questions so as to prevent the groom from seeing the bride. The groom, his best man and friends are required to answer all of the questions as well as presenting a “Door opening Lai See” in order to enter the house. The bride and the groom then attend the “Tea Ceremony” with each other’s parents.
4. Post-wedding Rituals
The next morning after the wedding, the bride and the groom have to attend the “Tea Ceremony” with groom’s parents. And the bride is normally required to prepare breakfast for the groom’s family in order to demonstrate that she is well nurtured.
The third day after the wedding, the bride and the groom would pay a visit to the bride’s family, with presents in hand.

Post-bridal shower...
Many Thanks to ALL of you. I mean it. From the bottom of my heart. It is one of the best EVENTs I ever attend. Worry-free, with all my friends who really can share my happiness and saddness.
I looked at everyone of your face, I remembered how much you are meant to me. Thank you for the Bridal shower.
Thank those for leaving your man/men behind and came to the activities. It was not what you used to do. I knew you sacrificed a lot. (please let your beloved one know, I love them too, but they are just not in the girl group totally...)
Thank those for reserving your time and your energy to the activities, it was not easy for just standing there and started to be creative. I knew it was not what you wanted to do, but you did it for me. (* for those who didn't like your painting, please use a little bit more creatitive to give it a name. I see EVERYONE of your paints were unique, and should be put on the wall!!!)
Thank those for organizing and preparing the activities, it was one of the best event days I ever had. Thank you. I was sure other girls giving you easy time as it seemed like everyone was enjoying and everything went very smooth.... BRAVO!!!
Thank God for letting me experience how much Love I have from the people around me and especially female friends. as I said in the dinner, I didn't have a lot of female friends since I was little (believe it or not, I used to study Heep Yan), but HE gives me what I needed, I have all of you. Thank you.
Please make sure you come for our BIG day, and honestly, I really hope to have all of you SHARE the most important moment for me. I am going to a new page of my life. Why don't you stick around to read thru it before I move on?
if you didn't RSVP, please do it, I need to count people in church, and count people in banquet.

Once again, Love you all.

PS: Now I am waiting for what the guys will do.... heeheheh!!! waiting ... waiting....
