Preoccupied with Cards
11th September 2006, Monday
The weekend is filled with one big issue at hand...the wedding invitation card..
Collected the entire batch of 280 cards with the printed itinery, .the golden threads which bind the itinery with the card and of course the envelope that will contain it...
The first batch was sent to the La Tendo clique shortly after stopping by the restaurant and what a day when almost everyone (with the exception of Vincent and Miyano) was present on hand to collect the cards from me as the gang was due for a group movie outing for "Devil wears Prada" with Yuu-kun still already in the thick of the action before departing home in a week's time or so...
They even shelled a Sentosa trip on Sunday morning which I duly rejected without any hesistation.. they were supposed to meet at 9 in the morning for a cable car joyride and reality check I woke up at 10 the next day...
Of course the rosy Saturday afternoon at my haunt ended with the notion that Karen was not a bit too please with Ferris been infatuated with her Korean heartthrob, Rain...and the scary part was thatmy good friend which was name refers to a carnival joyride actually was scurrying town after another Korean actor who visited Singapore recently days before...
Sunday was totally spent on tying those golden threads to the cards which can be really getting on my nerves as you can't get them too loose nor too tight and spoil the card itself...
My missus was in charge of writing the names and the addresses on the envelopes, and soon was ticked off at my incompetence in accurately conveying to her the respective addresses...
The entire Sunday was actually filled with gun powder in the air despite the sogginess of the weather as we would be swapping tantrums while trying to get the entire stack done which perhaps highlight the ill-temperament of all these pre-nuptial preparations...
But to tip it off, we headed to the in-laws and she wasn't too pleased with the dormant attitude of her old man when come to getting down the list of names of the relatives they are inviting...
I was at the edge of insanity when she was tiffing with her mom about some trivial issues when we should get everything done, pack up and go back to retire early...
Which we did not and I woke up minutes before 7 this faithful morning to my astonishment...
Back to work, a dull day attached to a training session by the product specialist (who is very much by the book and totally rigid with his protocols) and distributing the cards with the exception of a couple of Caucasian bosses...
Now we have to wait till everyone get the cards, contact them to confirm their attendance and plan the seating arrangement of the banquets....
It might seem that marriage life has transformed to become a chore and surely reality bites a huge chunk of my nerve fibers...well I am just wishing the whole masquerade to be over and the honeymoon at the end of the rainbow to reward our hard work and money spent....
