♥ I'm Held By Your Love
I love this song
The worship team played it on Sunday. And I think it's such an amazing song.
Two exam downs, two to go.
The two 'harder' ones are out of the way. And surprisingly, this exam period, as I mentioned in my previous post, I'm not crazily stressing out.
Resting is something that I'm starting to get a hold of. And that doesn't mean not studying. But it means being rest assured, knowing that God's grace covers me in every situation.
There are lots of things I've been learning lately. Sometimes I know it, but its hard to put into action.
I've realized that sometimes I can be a really terrible girlfriend. I am quick to anger. I get moody, grumpy and annoyed easily, and way too often. The words I speak are harsh, blunt and unloving. This is something I want to change. But not by human effort to just stop, because I can try to do it myself, but I will fail. But I guess it starts with a changing of the mind. It's about letting God's love be so real in my life, that it will just flow in and through me. That I'll grow to have a greater understanding of the comfort and assurance that comes from knowing God's love. And the words that come out of my mouth... will be words of love, encouragement and hope. That my mood will be joyful and my actions gentle.
P.S. I read the most beautiful facebook note today. It was an engagement promise. Read it here, it's really amazing *CLICK HERE*.
P.P.S. Earlier in the week I watched a hilarious / crazy marriage proposal / wedding video. It actually made me cry. I am not joking. You can also watch that here *CLICK HERE*.
P.P.P.S. Dearest J. Just so you know, expectations for the proposal / engagement / wedding have lifted. Love, D.

♥ plans faling apart
don't you hate it when you spend lots and lots of time thinking about putting together something...
and then u put more time into putting it together...
then ur really excited about it and totally looking foward to it.
and in the end, it just all falls apart anyways? where things just don't go the way u imagined it would go. and everything just sucks.
i'm a planner. i love to plan things. i should be use to things not going my way.
i should stop dreaming about my perfect wedding, because that will probably fall apart too.
SIGH

♥ kelvin & evelyn's wedding
i heart weddings. they're so pretty. and sweet. and full of love.
it also makes me think of what kinda wedding i want xD.
venue: wesley church.
located in the heart of the city, parking was a pain.
a traditional looking church, and much smaller than i was expecting!
slightly echo-ish. and yes, not a fan of the stainglass windows =/...
but it's different.
the order of service.
ahaha, she's so small xD its cute. i like the black and white ness of it. and the design.
simple and sweet. i like.
oh the actual service was pretty short too! like 1hr.
oh i forgot to take a picture of the invite. it was kinda like a postcard. haha, my siser liked it, but im a big fan of those fold out invites with the pretty layered paper.
the couple.
i don't really have a good picture of ev's dress. but it was pretty. nice and boofy. ahaha. with a train too!
i wonder how she's going to get around when taking photos xD.
it was a very detailed dress though, a lot of beading, and quite delicate. it looked heavy too.
kelvin was in a grey suit, im not a fan of grey suits, but he looked good. i found it slightly weird that him and his best man wore different coloured/styled suits.
the decorations.
i think the girls did a great job, if u look carefully in the picture above this one, you can see little lights in the background, yeah they're actually candles. they actually had like stands for candles to surround the room xD quite romantic. but G kept going to relit them haha. i liked the flowers (above) it was used for the isle decor. the bridal party actually had like roses, very light pinkish/cream/white ones, yeah the flowers for the isles must have been pricey =/ but i like orchids. im surprised they didnt go for purple ones though? since that was the bridesmaid dress colour.
me.
this was what i wore. i must admit, i didn't put that much effort in =( i was kinda in a rush in the morning. got ready in like half an hour, including shower xD. yeah, forgot necklace, earrings, foundation and eyeliner (it disappeared!)
anyways, next wedding is tracys =) and im excited for it!
meantime, im exhausted. so off i go.

♥ i [heart] weddings
i love going to weddings
they're always so romantic and pretty and sweeeeeet.
seeing a couple come together to be 'one'.... not to mention being all dressed up and looking good.
today i went to a wedding. it was more simple than others ive been to. but it was sweet. because i knew both the bride and the groom... and they were definately made for each other <3.
people often call me crazy, when i tell them that im going to get married at 25. im going to have my first kid when im 28. pretty organised huh? i put it into a sorta perspective where i actually have control of those things. and yes, maybe i do to some extent. but essentially my future lies in what God has planned for me.
people also call me crazy because i collect baby shoes. yeah? didnt u know that? they're super cute. i've got nikes and adidas... even ralph lauren ones that i got for my bday... xD its because family's so important to me. marriage is so important to me! i want kids! definately!
i guess u could say that i know what i want. and maybe i think too much about the future. haha.
sigh! can't wait.
hehe. he's jealous of crab... =)
