;Marriage

The dim light softly touched the edges of the booklet, making it seem as ithough it were glowing. The church bells on the mass booklet seemed so fitting, as were the flowers which crowned my head in the cover photo of my husband and I. The two ornate letter ‘S’s seemed so perfectly curved and were simply beautiful. I sat by my bedside, pondering upon the events of the day which had flown by so swiftly. Weddings are all about white lace, long gowns, splendid flower arrangements and chiming church bells. All weddings are rather similar, why did mine feel so different?

It was slightly more than twelve hours ago, when I found myself sitting on an elevated chair, waiting in silent reflection as the stylist applied layers of powder on my face. As she painted the colours on my face, as if I were a porcelain doll, I wondered to myself why I was getting married. It was a question to which an answer seemed obvious, and yet, it was not as easy as it sounded. Beneath all the hours spent planning on material matters – the lunch reception, wedding dinner, colour scheme and the bride’s outfits were but a few, my heart always sought to remind me about the man whom I cared about so dearly. Marriage would join me to my husband, the ultimate proof of our love for each other. To me, it could not come later.

As I sat in the elongated Mercedes-Benz, I felt the air-conditioning brush gently across my ear, whispering soothing words to me. It was quite a long way to church, and I found my hands firmly clasped together throughout the ride, praying to God to bless my wedding day and my marriage. I stared at my ring finger momentarily, imagining the ring that would very soon be there. The ring would be unending, as I hoped my marriage to be. Marriage included making sacrifices, was I ready? I did not doubt the amount of commitment I was ready to give and yet, butterflies flew to my stomach at the thought. The silvery organza veil felt rough as it brushed against my skin, and my ivory wedding gown had a long trail that was left strewn messily about the earlier cleaned car mat. The car soon came to a stop, and the door was opened for me. I smiled to myself, as I stood up and came out of the car, with newfound confidence growing within me.

The elegant turquoise and silver ribbons, that were entwined around the grey railings leading up to the main church were a welcoming sight. The colour turquoise was a very special colour to me, and it had always been. If my dreams were a single colour, they would have been turquoise. That distinctive colour was rare to find, and even rarer to find in the specific shade that I wanted. It was therefore not surprising that the colour, turquoise somehow made my wedding feel more special. An hour at the wedding mass flew by so quickly and before I knew it, I found myself strolling back down the aisle in church, with my husband by my side. The notes of the wedding march streamed from the choir loft above, like the music of the angels up above. I smiled upon many jubilant faced, and glanced at many lips mouthing congratulations. I never failed to notice the antique wooden pews which were adorned with white roses and silver ribbon, perfectly what I had imagined as an adult. This day was special to me, it was not merely my imagination turned to reality, but the day when I would bind myself to another.

For months, I had dreamed of an elaborate wedding and a church filled with familiar faces. It touched my heart that night, after the wedding dinner, when I asked my husband if our wedding had been the one he had wished for, and he said all he wished for was a wedding that would make me his wife. There was no way more fitting than this, to start our marriage. Our wedding was merely the start of our marriage. Marriage is an experience filled with equal independence, mutual dependence and a reciprocal obligation. Marriage restores the sight to love, and it is the acknowledgement of the special connection one has with another being. As I cleansed the make-up off my face that night, I realized that our wedding was so special not because of the lovely decoration, scrumptious dinner or even the turquoise ribbons. I realized that our wedding was special for the quiet fact that it was not merely a wedding;
it was a marriage.

todaaaay !

cant really rmb what happened today actually.
oh, you know my marriage essay ?
i got it back ytd along with the expository essay on whether parents should go to work, while their children are still young.

a disappointing 24 upon 30 for both.
i was quite displeased that i got the same mark for both my expository essay and descriptive essays when descriptive is my strength.
mrs alex said i needed to concentrate on the plot, and my description was good (:

i'll post it when i get onto the other comp, cos it's not typed here (:

when i'm sitting on the steps,
i know i'll never forget.

tmr'll be seven days in a row !

you've got me thinking of the laugh-kiss cute-ness.

Made a few new discoveries today.
the NE Quiz was funny !
HAHA, some of the options were really ridiculous..

assembly wasn't good.
let's just say we'd have been better off using the period for physics,
instead of staying back after assembly.
well, the sec three's found it amusing.
it was amusing that they found it amusing.
the sarcasm was majorly, too much.
and yea.
it wasn't a good delivery, despite the notable effort.
it was, nevermind.
we laughed alot, haha.

yea.

anyways, moving on.
art was productive (:
bus home and before i reached home was productive tooo (:

i'm looking forward to Renaissance on saturday, and yet i'm not.
for reasons you can guess, and reasons the clique'll know.
(:
thanks christine (:
what you said was sweeeet (:

and baby,
thanks for your reassurance. ifluuuuuu :D

it's for reasons only we both know (:

Just back from watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
i expected disappointment, but i was impressed.

yes, they did cut out a whole lot of good parts from the book.
yes, the skipped a lot of links and compromised with other scenes.
yes, the kiss wasn't really all that.
yes, cho's character was really restricted, making her seem minutely pathetic.
yes, yes, yes and yes.

nonetheless, i found the movie particularly strong.
It created strong empathy !
personally, at least.
and it was good.

the feeling was so there.
some parts were really strong moments,
like when sirius was talking to harry in the family tree room, and yea !
just clicked with me emotionally.

so i found it really good.
it was really emotionally deep and yea omg.
i practically cried my eyes out, best movie i've seen in the year.

the environment which David Yates created compensated for all that the movie lacked.
in my opinion, it was a fare better visual then previously created.
BECAUSEEE!
-the death eaters were so much better
-the filming was good throughout
-the scenes in the room of requirement were fab
-comic releif was well balanced by filch
-laughter fulfilled with fred and george
-suspense throughout, interesting characters
(e.g. the gross Bellatrix who killed sirius >:(, nymphadora tonks etc)
-music that complimented.

my favourite parts are among
-the scenes in the room of requirement, with the exception of the kiss
-the parts with harry and sirius
-the last action part !

enough said;

watch it please.





my kind of special is spelt with four letters, not seven (:

disclaimer: this is a very whiny post. and the writer will not be held responsible for any inconveniences or negative consequences which may result from you, the one who's like reading my blog now, reading this post.

come what may is such a pretty song.
and the sky today was really pretty.

and i'm feeling like sucha bimbo now.
today, audrey's group put a piece of paper under the visualizer.
and i was like,

Why is the visualiser so green?

HEH, it took me three seconds to realise that it was green paper la omg.

i'm still very annoyed in a bimbo way that blogger doesnt have pink!
it fails to satisfy a girl's random outburst of bimbotic-ness.
HEH.

anyways, stayed back till 7.10 for art today.
WAH, RECORD.
i was so flipping tired.
ONE CLOUD on the smooth wall, took me about three hours.
i had to use nippon white paint, water, blue paint, three sponges.
my hands were all painty.
the paint hardened on my hands about three times, so i had a really thick layer on my hand.
and i cant leave pain too long on my skin- cos i'll get a rash, so it was highly annoying (in the normal sense, not bimbo sense)
that i had to keep rinsing it off.
someone please remind me to geet a pail of water, so i dont have to walk to the toilet each time my hands get dry.

i was feeding mosquitos too.
which was bad.
given the dengue thing.

and there was this one annoying fly that refused to leave my space !
miss low said it liked me.

took me half an hour plus to wash up and all. and it's so troublesome that i'm below cos i have to carry -
a wooden stool
the paint tray
two small sponges
one big sponge
my handphone (without getting it painty)
my watch (without getting it painty)
my wallet (without getting it painty)
the heavy still very full blue harmony paint can.
(FIVE LITRES)
the heavy still quite full white paint can
(SEVEN LITRES)

Considering the fact that i managed to carry all of the above the blue harmony paint can, in one trip up two flights of steps, i think my muscles are gonna be aching. esp the bone before my elbow where i hung the not-exactly-light wooden stool.

aaand.
my legs had paint too.
seeing as how there's no hose in the art block.
and seeing as how i'm not gonna walk all the way to the toilet were there are lower taps - which is like near the school gate,
i went home with paint on my legs.

and in my nails.
gross.

I was so hungry, hot, sweaty, stinky, wet, painty and all.
sorry fellow passengers on the bus.

here ends my whine-worthy late afternoon.

on a lighter note -
yes, there is a lighter note !
HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN MAG (:

the recess bunch surprised her with a nice heart shaped chocolate cake from Chocsz.
it was super yummy.
and oh so very chocolate-y.
thanks for getting the cake sarah !

mag had a nice surprise ! (((:
we were happy !
we gave her a card too ! (: A BIG ONE (:
it was brown and yellow and pink and white.
PRETTY-FUL.

we were so full.

it was to our hilarious horror, that straight away after recess, miss teo came in, and said,
GOOD MORNING GIRLS!
WE'RE HAVING PE NOW.

OMG. -screams.

we just ate so much !
HAHAHA.
we didnt have pe in the end !
miss teo was so funny !
i think i never laughed so much during a class !
TEEHEE.

next period was maths, which we had five periods of in the entire day, that's like fifty percent our periods la.
mr teh sort of conducted us while we sang for mag !
it was so funnnnnny ! (:
HAHAHA (:

oh oh oh, and before recess, we had the best geog lesson the whole year !
(:
mrs kunna was so happy, i've never seen her smile so much.
she said we were good !
AWWW.
and she was so funny, in a cute way la.
HAHAHA, she was like, nervous and all cos mrs fam was going to watch her teach and evaluate her.

before class she was like asking me to remind her stuff, and i was like okay ! i'll wave my pink highlighter !

haha, mrs fam was pleased with our presentation, which wasn't really that much planned, we did it in ten mins with prior research.
she went to the staff room to get her camera !
and started taking photos!
it was funny ! (((:

we felt like we were in a photoshoot la, teehee.
funny (:

and it was an unusual geography lesson.

the colour paper she gave us was prettier than normal white paper ! (:

and yea, it was fun.
mrs kunna was happy with us, she let us off for recess like five minutes earlier yay.

today wasnt half bad, thanks to geog lesson, mag's birthday surprise, the funny convo we had with miss teo during the pe period, and the completion of my one cloud.

i'm a happy girl.
and very very very tired.

today was kinda a boring day..
Sarah and Shirin weren't around half the day, which pretty much made it boring without them!

aha, su, shirin and jannah drew me this roller coaster thing (:
i'll post it when my camera has battery ! (sorry guys)

had a really lame day !
haha, i love fourthree.

the lesson on relative velocity turned out pretty productive cos i managed to understand what was going on, and managed to do the questions mr teh gave, without much trouble..

went for art afterwords, and managed to paint clouds along the top part of my wall, which leaves me with a lot more to do.
and the recent count of pillows which are sewn, decorated, stuffed and sewn close is 20 !
which leaves me with about thirty more.
OMG.
i need like 8m times 3 more cloth.

get sewing, samantha.

and i tried using cotton stuffing yesterday, wah. a whole lot of it ended up being stuck on my t-shirt.
and it was really stinky too, so yea.
decided not to use it in the end.

anyways, i'm really tired today, must be the relative velocity, haha, and painting.
my eyes're closing la.

i'm a sleepy girl (:

i dont mean to forget things really la.

just so you know baby, i very well mean what i say when i say
i love you.

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

i love this song.

doodled on the pretty colourful paper that amanda gave us - there was turquoise !
yay (:

and i killed a cockroach that was outside my house last night ! i sprayedddd it (:
haha, yup.

history calls (:

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

just like me, they long to be;
close to you.

Whatever comes our way, we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.


Everything - Michael Buble.

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And You're the perfect thing to say.

And you play your card, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
