But I am calling it Mad March because well, it was a mad month for us.
Nope, I did not forget that it has been eight months since we got together then. But I was simply too busy and too tired to blog. Of course, I could have done a one-liner, post it up and consider it blogging. But seriously, what's the point of doing a crap job when you can do one perfect one?
So, if anyone thought I had dropped dead, the truth is I was almost dead. Twenty eight and a half years of my life, this is the first BLOODY time I truly wish I have 48 hours in my life. Yah lah, I did wish for this many hours before when I was single and having a lot of fun out there...but.....moving on.......
It was a good month. I left the PR company I was in after a month and a half, went for a one week holiday in Perth with DoRAYmon, came back and joined a German automaker. New career, new scope of work, new challenges, new fun and the best part? Back with the old boss! Mad love.
And the big news now - We are getting married! :)
Yes, you heard right. Wedding is on 2nd May, Sunday.
This is the reason why this has been a busy month. Planning a wedding from scratch is fun but when you have a new career on hand and so little time till the big day, a wedding seems like the hardest thing to plan!
But we have been lucky till now cos we had a lot of help and a big sponsorship from a special someone. :D
See, this is the reason why my blog has been left out there in the cold. Almost everyday, there is something to be done - getting the schedules fixed, replying emails, confirming RSVPs, getting the rings etc etc etc.
THEN, I realized something. I am damn good at this can? I got everything in place (well, almost) in two weeks. Am I good or what? I am considering, after we have a couple of kids, maybe I can look into doing wedding planning. More time for the family plus it's something I am damn good in lah!
To all those who have asked - yes, this is the latest news. I am getting married off. After so many long, failed relationships and short, crazy flings, I am finally settling in. A round of applause please. XD
It's really something that I am still coming to terms with. True, I had close brushes with marriages before but this time, this is the the closest time I have come so close to one. Trying on that wedding gown and ring does make a girl feels special. I guess that is the one time when a girl looks into the mirror and realizes (with an uh-oh) that this is the moment on when they will have to take full responsibility of their life. Take charge, make things work and be an adult. Sometimes, it still scares me when I think I am really going to get married. I admit I cringe when I see my single life - the one full of clubbing/ drinking/ smoking/ crazy parties/ irresponsible fun - slowly fading away. :s
But then, I guess this is life. We grow up, we move on, we grow into the next phase of life. And we pray that whatever comes along is not too fucked.
Anyway, while I go back to being busy with my wedding preparations, here are some of the photos we took in Perth. For more photos, it can be viewed on my Facebook (but I guess most have seen by now. :p)

Camwhoring by the O'Neill's pool.
Samantha and her Taxi
Cottesloe Beach
Alright - this photo was stupid. Downright stupid. I bought a double scoop ice cream to eat as we strolled along the beach. But then the wind was so strong that my ice cream was melting big time. That plus I did not have something to tie up my hair with. So there was this silly woman eating ice cream with her hair flipping wildly in her face while she tried her darn hardest to push her hair away. And her boyfriend leh? Happily snapping away at her ridiculous moment.
Ferris wheel at Swan Bell Tower.
Our host - Rory making a toast midway during the BBQ dinner.
And hostess, Vanessa talking to her neighbor.
Walking along Swan River to get to the jetty.
I found my family in a random shop at E Shed!
Port Beach
Little Creatures!
Must try beers? Sorry, I can't taste the difference. I AM NOT a beer person!
The must try mussels! Yummylicious!!!
And we found another must try - the Kanga skewers!
There he goes....seducing the camera again.
The ferris wheel by Swan Bell Tower at night.
Prevelly Beach - where we lost our camera! *sobs sobs*
This is when I thank God for the invention of the iPhone which took beautiful photos in daylight....
Winery tour - our first winery, Stella Bella Winery.
Wine, my love. See you in November. :)
Lunch at Voyager Estate. OMFG - the pork was as soft as the fish!
The flower garden in Voyager Estate.
The wild safari tour with Neil McLoed. This was when I miss my camera. Because the iPhone can't capture the kangaroos in the dark. -.-
Bye, Margaret River. Back to the O'Neills.
Brunch at Fast Eddy's!
Scarborough Beach - check out my shiny arms and legs! And for those who are STUPID enough to ask me - no, mine is not a fake tan. I am born dark skinned. Getting a tan is as simple as snapping my fingers. Duh.
Scarborough at sunset.
We then made our way back to Vanessa's to pack up and leave Perth.....
Who knows we missed our check in time by five minutes and had to buy fresh new tickets at SGD900 back the next day! KNN. Fuck you, Jetstar! I swear I will never take you budget airlines ever again.
