Colour

With the planning of the wedding and renovations, I have been given the challenge of selecting the right colours for different things.
And so my fingers get busy on the computer as I search google images for ideas, inspiration and the perfect shade of grey or blue that is in my tiny little brain.
I was never good at art.
Always a C student.
I remember being so happy when I got a C+ once..hur.
Colours are very confusing things.
When you say 'blue', the blue people picture in their heads may all be different shades of blue.
So when it came to choosing colours, it was really difficult to convey what we wanted.
Even white had different shades of white (I'm not even kidding.)
But there are just some colours that sing a very melodious tune in your heart when you lay your eyes upon them.
And you just HAVE to have them
Take for example grey.
I have an eternal hunger for grey.
I love grey.
But not ALL greys.
This grey, I like.

I wouldn't mind it if it were slightly lighter, like this:

but not if it were any darker. 

Really wanted my sofa to be this shade of grey but we couldn't find one we really liked :( 

But anyway, the house is really starting to take shape.. 

And it's starting to look a little more like home :) 

Really excited to start cleaning and stocking cupboards and shelves with things! 

6 weeks

We are 6 weeks away and the anxiety is getting to me a bit I think..
I promise I'm not over stressing myself.
And now that my car is back I am much happier and more comfortable.
The past 2 weeks was a real challenge with all the travelling for work, and the added stress of the long commutes got to me.
I really admire the people who do this every day.
Some individuals are just not the least bit considerate and push right into your personal space.
And some people really need help in self grooming..
If you know you are going to squeeze with hundreds of others on the bus or train during rush hour, I would think it common courtesy to at least shower?
Seriously so many people think a night shower is enough to tide them through 6-8 hours in the sack.

Recently I've been feeling like there have been so many things that have been really upsetting.
Maybe it's because I'm more on edge with everything that is happening...
I keep telling myself to not let things get to me but they just do.
Some things I just really don't know how to handle.
Half of me cannot wait for these 6 weeks to be over because I really cannot take this stress anymore...
the other half is genuinely excited because it IS my wedding.
Oh well!
Whatever will be will be! :)

Crazy week

This is a week I would NEVER in my life want to repeat.
Started the week with an accident :(
And I'm still handling paperwork and all with regards to that...
The saga isn't over.
And I have to live without the car for the next week which isn't going to be easy because it's 7 weeks from the big day and there are things to be done!
The house renovations are ongoing but going too slowly for us..
And so we need to constantly chase the contractor to get things done faster.
Q's grandma has been re-admitted into the hospital and doesn't seem to be doing well :( :(
Yesterday we spent half the day just getting stuff for the house and both Q and I were super physically and mentally drained by the end of the day.
We went straight home, showered and slept the moments our heads touched our pillows.
I have not been this drained in a long time.
Next week will be a challenge.
I haven't had to take public transport to get to my client's places for a while..
And travelling from bukit timah to punggol to clementi is not fun.
But yet, I know it is possible because I have done it before.
But I'm praying repairs on my car will be completed very soon so I can at least have the car next weekend!
7 more weeks!
