Ding dong belle

After weeks of being called 'Miss 27 Dresses' by my colleagues & friends, my cousin's wedding has come and gone. It hadn't been easy though. There were countless times when i wanted to just give up and not bother about it.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that i didn't want to help but I was already stretched. With everything else (business-wise) slowing down, we had to worked doubly, if not triply hard to keep the clients. Overlapping projects, long hours, work frustrations, looming deadlines, lack of sleep... add on the wedding coordination... it doesn't take much for misunderstandings to happen and tempers to flare. It was just 'bad' timing... everything demanded my immediate attention, everything seemed to be due 'yesterday'.

I know some felt i was getting the short end of the stick and i should've bailed out, especially on the wedding coordination. Tsing asked if i did all this because i think it's romantic - the wedding and all. Honestly? It never crossed my mind... all this romance/fairy-tale stuff. My focus was simple - it's her day and i want to do my best to support her. Guess it was the execution (of my intentions) that was difficult. :)

As i did my best to be there for her, once again i have been encouraged by different ones who stood by me too. Despite occasional protests of what 'damage' i was doing to myself, i'm thankful that FQ, Csu & Siryn has kept me sane thus far.... or is it keeping me 'insane' ?? Hehehehe.. Tsing cracked me up with his offer of good lawyers in case of manslaughter. :P Others took turns calling/sms-ing to check if i'm still alive. Hahaha....

I guess it's always nice to know there's someone.. or in my case, many who's there for me... even though at times, i didn't know where i was. :P

Hugs to everyone for putting up with neurotic me!!
