Our Life Journey…

posted by L'abeille on Dec 12

It was a boring Friday at the office. I was chewing on a bag of unripe mango at my cubicle …..

AnnieQ, Pinky and X-T, here’s my LUNCH. WHO SAID i don’t eat lunch.. -.0

Suddenly..

Mr Postman from the door calls out my name and passed me a parcel.

It was a surprised parcel from Judy. My college mate and my blogging buddy.  

The curious cat couldn’t wait until she reaches home to open up the gift together with the hubby.

So, like a ‘lil girl, she ripped the package, reads the card content and even open up the gift herself! keke :p

Thanks Judelittle & her family for the sweet gift and the lovely card. No, we’re not gonna use the oh-so-kawaii gift you send us. It’s sitting in our glass display cabinet at home now ;) *hugs*

….we’re left with 23 days until Christmas and we’ve NOT even finish Christmas shopping.

…we’re left with 25 days until the BIG DAY and there’s still 40% of wedding favors unwrapped..

…Pre wedding photographer promised me the sample template should be out in the next 3-4 days. We should be getting our photo-syoked wedding photos from our wedding photographer.. eh ello! Habuk pun tarak! *cryyyyyyyyyy* 

…X-T has given me my Christmas present 3 days ago.. so early hor? This time around, another very practical present for me and it’s kinda…benefit the household too :p. Can’t wait to lay my hands on the sparking thingy..but I’ve yet to decide if I should give  him gift A or gift B or BOTH*…no time oredi*

…5 days to maternal side tea ceremony and there’s a party after that.  There’s more to plan…..MORE PLANS coming up. No, the pic shown above is not my set. I pinjam the photo from someone because I think it’s sweet yet not too traditional :p. 

… On the 29th day before the wedding and the head usher said “Oh no, I will still be in Singapore and will only be back for the wedding dinner, I’m soreeeeee”. Oh Bless you! Now a new vacancy is available for the Holy Matrimony. *panic panic*

… In just a short 3 weeks time, Mister & Missus will officially move into the new place and I’ve yet to finish packing my moutain of clothings and shelf full of kitchen equipments! We’ve just finished packing Mister’s stuff from his bachelor’s crib and I couldn’t imagine MAN can have so little to pack!

If anyone where to ask me what I want for this Christmas…I would say I wish I could hop into a plane, fly somewhere and HIDE (…along with my husband of course)….I need a week or two of plan-free getaway. I don’t even care if it’s a 10hr flight or a 45 minutes drive to the secret hideaway anymore. Sigh, but unfortunately, time and since Mr fiance’s handling a very huge project at the moment and the possibilities of ‘changes’ crippled us from planning anything at all at the moment. *wipe tears*

I We

are.

SOoooooooooo.

Exausted.

Now………………!

I can’t wait to start my marriage leave which is about to happen in another 17 days.. Truly, I just can’t WAIT!!

One month ago, X-T finished filling up all the  tiny honey jars for our wedding’s Favor to be given to our guest during the wedding dinner. Yes, and that task was completed exactly 1 MONTH AGO!

Now, my duty is to tie a ribbon around the cap with a cloth.  Sounds easier than the task of filling up those bottles? I am not too sure which is an easier task now because these bottled honey has been sitting in the plastic boxes TOPLESS and RIBBONLESS for the last 30 days. I’ve just started giving them a top cover 2 nights ago. How many bottles have I completed? You see lor…ney, completed ones are now sitting on top of that tiny table. *eyes rolled and giving myself a smack* . I lost my patience… really…

*This is definately not another paid post*

Some may be wondering why X-T & I wanted a custom made card rather than getting the off-the shelf cards which is aplenty in the market today. Not to mention, they’re beautiful too.  Well, the answer is simple. My parents are paper merchants and my sister is a freelance illustrator. What a great package deal hor? :p 

Alrighty, now back to the business. I was brought up in a tiny little shop in Ipoh counting papers, carrying printing inks into customer’s vehicle and gluing labels on printing chemicals and envelopes. I remembered during the school holidays, it was fun to go on short road trips with my dad. I’ll tag along with daddy around Perak to deliver the bulk orders.

Being daddy’s pampered little gurl, I was always told to wait  in the car while he carry the goods into the printers under the very hot sun, sometimes in the rain too. Yes, my dad delivers goods to his customers personally! As a young teen back then, that’s the time I begin to realised that money doesn’t actually grow on trees. It wasn’t a boring ride at all for me because the trips are always filled with laughter and fun. I miss those days where we could just stop over at any of the road side food stalls for a quick lunch before we head back to ‘work’. I miss those days… truly…

Here’s a few snapshots of the shop the paper girl grew up in…

The Regent Papers, Ipoh was also labeled by many as The House Of Fancy Papers. Why? 

…Because they really do sell alot and I mean ALOT of fancy papers

They’ve printers, designers, end-users and even art students walking in everyday to get the papers they want here.

They do have ready made wedding cards for those who doesn’t wish to have unexpected end results like ours done by the our first  doink printer :p

How about a matching envelope for your company’s letterhead or custom made cards?

So, you see… I was brought up a paper girl. My parents talks about paper when they eat, talks paper before they sleep and their 2 princesses were somehow ‘trained’ to differentiate the weight between two sheets of paper without a weighing machine! So, looking at all the fancy papers my parents stacked on the racks & all the wonderful printing ink makes the paper girl wanting to have her own designed wedding card when she grows up . If she ever gets marry one day lar!!. :p

Here’s a snippet of our wedding card…

The front.. Embossed and Coral pink was used.

As you unfold, “The Two shall become One” Eph 5:31

The venue of the pre wedding party, the Holy matrimony and the dinner was announced in soft copper..

The paper girl’s dream has come true  :)
