I know most girls have been dreaming and planning their magical wedding since young. I however have no such dream to be turned into a "princess" for one day. To me, wedding is just to formalise the union-ship and two families coming together.
Our wedding day is 3 months away. We didn't have much planned for the wedding. We just wanted to have a small, simple and none of those let's-give-the-groom-hell gestures. I don't how or when.... suddenly I was told that we have an estimate of 250 guests turning up for the reception. GREAT! Justin is panicking, while I'm stressed. Half of them are my relatives, extended relatives whom I don't even remember knowing from my dad's side. GEEZ! Nothing is planned yet for the reception dinner. I wonder if it will be a disaster. Everyone will be snoozing off while eating. I can hear crickets!

I went back to Kuching and tried on a few dresses in the bridal boutique but I looked ridiculously puffed. Mum said I should go on diet. =( Well, my diet is going nowhere. So I've decided to make a dress that fits me than forcing myself to fit into a typical Malaysian size dress. For your info, I'm not your average size Malaysian girl. I tend to be taller and heavier than most girls hence feel like a giant when I'm back there. Which suits me great while I'm in NZ. Here I wear size S-M, while in Malaysia/Singapore L-XL. Haha!
Mum also said that I should keep myself from getting anymore tan, leave my hair long and take good care of my complexion before the day. I did none of those. I started playing tennis everyday after work underneath the HOT sun, chopped off my hair really short and not taking in enough nutritious food. I'm such a rebel. Bweks. I remember when I came into the office last Monday, my Boss said, "I love your new hair but OH NO! what will your mum say!?"
On a happier note, I have a few dresses in mind which I really like. If you are like me, apple body shape, you will have full broader shoulders and bust, and narrower hips. Fat is mainly distributed in the chest, face and abdomen. Hence when looking for a dress, do go for Tea length, empire or A-line style dresses. From my own perspective, I love short empire dresses which shows off my slim legs while balancing out my very heavy top.
Here's a couple of dresses I like. I only have a small budget on the dress as I don't think it is worth it to spend that much on a dress I only wear for ONE DAY!! Prices ranging from NZD$300 - NZD$500 to make the exact dress.
P/S: Told my mum I'd like a short dress for the Big day but she's against it. HMMPH! She said not elegant looking. Ah well, it's my wedding not hers. =P BWEKS!
