just what i need eh? Tyra Banks' How-To-Smile-For-Idiots.
Ok what i've learnt thru her video is that in my prev post my eyes weren't "smiling". Its funny coz me, Rohkmah and Reenee were having dinner over tit-a-tat earlier and i talked about how i should smile. So, i've figured it out - i'll just squint a little. Not really squint la, just kecikkan mata sikit. hehe. i think it shud work la kot. contoh satu gambo ni i think my eyes looked like smiling la (i think. aiya dont care la just layan me as the 'perasan' bride) but later la i post. In my phone pulak tak bawak cable. So there you go. Zaza actually smiling. THERE you go.
erm. i know, i know. i might be taking this smile thing too far. Why do i have to act out to smile? Its not acting la, I'm happy, but when i'm delirously happy i GRIN. And grinning os a NO-NO in wedding photos (i dont want my kids or grand kids to go- mummy/wan, why you look like a vampire?). AND YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MY PLIGHT. My Shweets wouldnt understand this too. He's got super nice smile and very nice teeth and his eyes twinkles automatically whenever he smiles or laugh. Its easy for him!!!! Its tough for me!! I should email Tyra Banks and get her to youtube me a Wedding Smile. Or Deliriously Happy Smile.
ahhh...smile crash course aside...its unfortunate that the recession is upon us at these times. I've known that the fuel subsidy is going to be lifted but man, when it finally arrives it did felt like tonnes of weight on my shoulders, making me even more katik. Its tough planning a wedding when everything skyrockets and making holes in the roof. Its tough getting into the next phase of my life with us having to skim the fat off everything. There goes some beautiful details i wanted..and i might forgo having my cousin Ana Raffali singing with her band, i'm already skimming the food that i'm serving to my guests. There goes my pengantin facial and massage....*sad*
I know, its for the bigger picture, its for us to stay afloat for the next couple of years to cushion the recession effects, but hey, i just can pray the exact picture will be as beautiful and carry the moments la kan. I wouldnt want to feel bad on my wedding day nanti. I should feel happy and thankful and blissful that Shweets became my husband on that day. I should feel gorgeous. I want my guests to feel like its worth it to have spent some extra litres of petrol to come to my wedding. I want them to earnestly, wholeheartedly wish us Selamat Pengantin Baru or better yet pray a silent prayer for me and Shweets to be in love and happy forever.
I'll make sure even if i skim the menu its going to be delicious, y'all. This will be a new challenge to me. Planning a beautiful budget wedding. HAH! will it be possible? another 2 months!! wahhhhhh. As per Tyra's quote - You say i cant? Really? Watch me.
hahahah. apesal tiba2 kesemangatan ini. initially i wanted to do an entry about my search for the right hairdo. tapi takpe lah save that for the next entry.
ah..i wish Shweets is here with me. Hold my hand and huggie me and say, we'll get through this.
found some caricatures on price hike. *gelak kering - sebab kelakar, but so-in-your-face*
Oh, and this is the best one:
