Friends http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/archive/39.html Wed, 24 Aug 2005 00:44:54 GMT I am moving, (cyberly of course) to little adventures @ http://petiteadventure.blogspot.com See you there! http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/comments?id=39 http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/archive/38.html Mon, 22 Aug 2005 02:05:56 GMT Got home last week from a two weeks holiday with my in-laws. Being with Philippe I realize one thing - how little I knew about nature. Not the type of nature that calls you to the toilets but about plants and flowers and our surroundings. I can name no more than 5 flowers as we take walks in the forest, while Philippe knows each and every single flower to trees to weeds there are. As we walk in the forest, he can name me almost every single plant there is. I on the other hand, can tell you where to get the good bargains on clothes or when the next sale will be on. I have never really been an...

Did not have to say much yet I understood what I had to do with just a few simple gestures. I went salsa dancing this afternoon. And boy did I have fun, almost felt guilty for having so much fun without Philippe. Phil was such a sweetie, he stayed home to clean the house and prepare for the holidays. Tomorrow we are headed to Brest (Its BREST, not BreAst) - a two weeks break next to the sea. And I am bringing along almost everything I own in our apartment. I finally understood why I was never...

Yes, in French, guessing each time when I am unfamiliar with some words – which can get quite tricky when it comes to topics relating to sex, so I am left to my imagination…… Tonight, we are having a belated Surprise Birthday Party for Philippe. I know it’s a surprise but Philippe rarely reads our blog, so I am safe. Its funny how things change or a person change when they get married, the sacrifices you are willing to make when you love someone or how you are willing to embarrass yourself. For Philippe’s...

Hmm… I wished Phil had agreed to my initial idea of me carrying the video camera down the aisle so I can record the whole event and let people have an idea of what it feels like being a bride. He unfortunately did not buy my idea of letting the hairdressers hide the video camera in my hair or nicely camouflaging it into my bouquet. I am trying to find the words to describe the day, which was somewhat magical for me. Despite our very...

To my surprise I am less stress than I was yesterday. Very calm, hair is all curly - afraid to turn my head in case one strain falls out of place, collected my pretty white flowers. my 6 six kg gown will be delivered by my in-laws, its awfully big so I have to get changed in the church..oh.. its going to be a lovely day lovely day. The only thing that is lost in Paris at the moment is my bride's maid. She sms saying she lost her way. Welcome to PARIS!... ah..bride is going to get ready now....... http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/comments?id=34 http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/archive/33.html Fri, 08 Jul 2005 16:28:52 GMT It’s the day before the wedding and here I am updating my blog. I think I just need to write, feeling so many different kinds of emotions today and need an avenue to get things out of my system. One thing I am feeling is that I am missing my Mummy a lot, missing very much her presence, missing her humor and most of all missing the much needed support from her. Phil and I have taken a very relax approach to the wedding, deciding on things as and when we needed to. We don’t fully know what is going to happen during the wedding ceremony as we decided not to have a rehearsal. It will be...

Wow… its been a month since I last posted something on the blog. I feel so guilty. Its takes me a while to write things as I have a slow processor (brains). I am back to real world after a weeks break with Philippe. It was a much needed break for the both of us. Life sometimes fills you up with too many things that you start to take the person closest to you for granted. Well, that’s what happened to me anyways. Woke up this morning, feeling lonely for the first time in a long time as he went to work hours ago. It felt strange, having to...

We went to Provinc, a small mideval town about 100kms from our apartment, watched Starwars, Philippe cooked lunch…yadda yadda yaddda….in short we had a nice weekend. The thing about not blogging at the end of the day is that the thrill of writing certain incidents are mysteriously gone. After French class, I hopped onto the Metro and found a young male classmate of mine. We had briefly exchanged a few conversations in class as he was new. He looked so innocent in his spiky hair, big eyes, denim jacket and his little school bag. When he told me his age,...

It was not an early celebration but a rush to the Malaysian Embassy to get our marriage certified as today is the final day to get it done. It turns out that we need to have a “marriage” ceremony in front of a Malaysian official. So until I sign the paper, in Malaysian law I am still considered “single” (hmm.. evil thoughs - Oppss… I love you Philippe!!!!) Anyways, this makes it a total of four wedding ceremonies – Just to clarify, I am still marrying the same person. Ok, lets see if my maths are... (more) http://philyincafe.blogdrive.com/comments?id=30
