dress shopping and more woes....

well....too many things to talk about over the weekend.....sent Jo off at the airport on saturday morning where i was the only person who cried (so embarassing!)....that's why i hate farewells, esp those that were said end of last year and this year....i think i would have cried if i had sent xia off at the airport and also some others whom i have yet to farewell...in a sense, i duno why i cry at having to farewell them when i know that i will see them again but yet, these farewells just seem different from the other farewells that i have said before....then in the arvo, we also farewelled Dan & Helen King, although that wasn't really like a teary kinda sad farewell.....it was sad but i guess it was also exciting, especially when Dan was telling us that through God's grace and providence, they have managed to raise enough money to enable Dan to work full-time for AFES this year and also a little more than they need....how exciting!

also helped out at kid's church on sunday for the first time....not that it's the first time that i've done creche but it's just different.....yuk yee is in charge of the FOCUS kid's church this year and it's not something that he's done before, but you can see that he's really enthusiastic and putting in the effort into running this church....and he's right in the sense that kid's values etc are really formed when they are young so it is important that they are taught biblical truths correctly when they are young.....anyway it was an eye-opening experience for me....felt quite inadequate a lot of the time esp when having to deal with the kids but i think it'll be a great learning experience!

anyway other quick news on wedding.....tentatively 10 june....have got the restaurant tentatively decided as well....budget seems to be ever increasing which is not good...means i'll have to sit down and really do up a realistic budget and make sure we keep to it....but my parents have been extremely helpful in asking around for some prices etc....although my dad seems to be overestimating the budget quite a bit....not sure if he's realistic but he'll come up with all these amounts which are like twice what i budgetted for and then he'll be like....how? where are u gonna get your money from etc? haiz......so yeah...have to really sit down and work out the budget.....

also, wedding dress shopping seems like it's going to be tiring and an extremely long process....spent sunday arvo walking around westfield bondi to look for a bridesmaids outfits for doreen and joyce...the problem is that it's kinda hard getting the both of them to agree on something, at first i said just wear something of the same colour but different design to accomodate your height etc, but doreen thought it would be nicer if they both wore the same design too (which i agree is kinda true), the only problem is getting the both of them to agree on something....if i'm gonna be spending so much money on it, i'd like the 2 of them to at least agree on somethnig that they both like and will likely wear again.....anyway hoping to be able to go dress shopping again this saturday....just wanna get this out of the way so i can start worrying abt other stuff....hehe....

your ever lovely worrywart =)
