T-Minus 2 Days


Two more days till our ROM.

My parents are flying in tomorrow.

It's a pity that they're only staying for a night. They have to rush back to Swan City right after the ceremony due to work obligations.

A prior arrangement didn't come through because of some irresponsible employees who backed out last minute, so their return flight has to be pushed forward.

Both of my brothers are not gonna be there too. Long is in Apple Isle; and Yu, who was supposed to come with my parents, now has to stay back in Swan City to man the office on behalf of my parents so they could take the 2 days off.

To tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed.

I console myself by thinking that it's only a quick ceremony to sign the papers, anyway, so I guess it's not that big a deal.

Oh well.

Today was spent ticking things off our to-do list, and running some errands for my parents since their trip has to be cut short.

First we had to collect my new I.C. from Putrajaya. I needed to change my address to a Selangor address so Bee and I could both submit our application forms for ROM at Putrajaya.

Next stop was to buy orchid keikis that my mum wanted from KL, and to pick up Bee's suit and my pashminas from the dry cleaner in PJ.

Then, it was off to a health food store in Subang to source organic wheatberries and wheatgrass powder for mum.

Oh, guess what I found at the health food shop?

Liquid chlorophyll!!

Remember the hype about this plant extract when super model Megan Gale revealed that it was the secret behind her glowing skin? (If not, read here.)

After that interview, liquid chlorophyll was sold out in Melbourne overnight! Young girls were scouting through every health food store and pharmacy, hoping to get their hands on a bottle of this dark green drink.

I don't necessarily believe that this is the secret pathway to Miss Gale's flawless skin, but maybe it's worth a try even if it's just for the antioxidant and detoxifying properties.

After a hectic day running around, I fell into a deep slumber the instant my head hit the pillow.

When I woke up from the much-needed nap, I found a rare sight of my soon-to-be husband cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

A very special dinner for us, he said.

And I was sent to the room to wait till dinner is served.

From the rate he's going, I guess we'll be having a very late supper instead. Haha.
