没有了彩虹

这几天都好不开心。
我就好像迷路的小鸟，不知该往哪个方向飞。
我的后山不知不觉倒了；我的前山却靠不住。
我不知道该怎么办才好。
后山一点都没有把我放在眼里。
前山很喜欢自以为是。
人生真的很辛苦。
这不是，那也不是。
不然把我的生命结束吧，我就不需要在痛苦。
我可以在天空上没有目标的飘。
不需要去理别人的想法和感受。
我一天比一天累。





有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

Real vs fake flowers

It has been a while since I hunt for actual day bouquet. I went to Green Gallery @ RH Plaza and drooled there for a long long time looking at the flowers. Fake flowers. But... they are so nice~!

Frankly speaking, I don't really fancy fresh flowers. Buying fresh bouquet will cost around RM120.00 each. I always thought of buying a few stems of fake flowers, trim the stems, use some lace fabric (my own style) to wrap them up, tie a cute ribbon and that's my actual day bouquet! I even travel to KL Lovely Lace. And I saw what I want there.

To me, fresh bouquet is too expensive. I love flowers. I love decorations. The reason I opt for fake flowers is because:

1. I think handmade stuffs are more sincere. Imagine yourself wearing a beautiful gown, holding a pretty bouquet. The bouquet looks so different from the others because you customize your own bouquet to suit your liking.
2. I can use it for decoration at home/ office after my wedding.
3. Cheap! It will not take up to RM70 to make one bouquet.

But again, Boyfy is not really into this idea. And the ding dong stories go again... Perhaps I will still make the bouquet, but for my own satisfaction. Or I will carry two bouquets on my AD~

I want to share an article I found from the internet regarding real & fake flowers for wedding.

Flowers are always a must in a wedding. It doesn’t matter it is formal or informal wedding, you will definitely see flowers everywhere, on the car, at the alter, the bouquet, the hair accessories and so on. I don’t think there’s any wedding without flowers.

Brides always have difficulty to decide whether to use real or fake flowers. Those who prefer real flowers would usually tell you that there should not be fake things in a wedding, therefore the flowers must be real. Those who prefer fake ones usually will tell you that they want to cut cost and they don’t emphasize on it since it won’t last and it’s not a very wise investment. Whatever reason given, it’s up to the couple to decide.

If you haven’t decide and you don’t mind having real or fake flowers, then you can consider the pros and cons of them. Usually we see plastic flowers here but did you know that there’s actually silk flower that looked like real. Anyway, we are not going to discuss about silk flower for now. We will just cover this topic based on the general fake and real flowers.

Why real flowers?
Pros:

• Naturally scented
• Pretty
• Exquisite details
• Soft and delicate to the touch
• More traditional
• Photograph extremely well (especially in close-ups)
• More luxurious
• Can be preserved (freeze dried)
• The sentimental value

Cons:

• Required maintenance
• Higher cost
• Cause allegies
• Not suitable for very hot weather or strong wind
• Cannot have it in advance
• Can only go for what you can get in the season
• Not easy to transport

Why fake/artificial flowers?
Pros:

• No maintenance
• Long lasting
• Cheaper
• Can be reused for home or office decor
• Great for those with allergies
• Can obtain easily
• More choices, no worries about the season
• Can be prepared in advance
• Might look real depending on the quality and the price that you are willing to pay
• Easy transportation

Cons:

• Might look cheap (again it depends on the quality of it)
• Difficult to recreate the delicate floral fragrance of a real flower

Another way is that you can have both real or fake flowers for your wedding. You don’t have to have real flowers everywhere and you don’t have to have fake flowers everywhere. For example, at location that exposed directly to sun, wind, and rain, you might want to go for fake ones and you can have real ones for your bouquet, hair accessories and the guest tables.

Proper planning and compromising is needed to ensure you don’t spend all your money just on flowers as I don’t think this is a very wise move to spend so much on flowers, it can cost a lot especially when you want to have everything “real”.

Bear bear, are you there yet?

These two bears nice or not?
I bought it from a LYN member.
Second hand for RM20 + RM7 (pos laju)

I know it doesn't look good for buying second hand goods for wedding. But for this price, it really worth buying. I can resell it after using. I might not make a lose for reselling lo...

Jom... let's get sick together!

Isn't it funny when someone is sick and you give them a big icing cake written on top "Get well soon"?

The combination of icing colour already can make that person fall even sicker...

Treasure

Some can be bias...

Some look down on you (although you're not)...

Some just know how to act like Mr Right...

And assume everything you done were all wrong!

Some ignore you...

Some kick you like a trash bin not knowing that that trash bin can be so valuable when you need it...



Sometimes, we just have to ignore all these stupid people. Because they are stupid. Extremely stupid. Just do what I want, and be happy and proud about it. Most importantly, treasure people who treasures you. I've found someone who treasures me. Have you?

HELP!

Terribly sad and disappointed with my parents. They are not cooperating at all.

Dad is also one kind. He got things kept in his heart but always doesn't want to share with people his problem.

Mum is the nagging and black hearted type. Always like to attack people from behind.

Really beh tahan...

If really no choice then I have to ask for grandma's help already. I have not much time left.
