Wedding bells are ringing...

I'm back with updates!
Was down with a bad bout of food poisoning last week, and it was so bad I'd consider it the Top 10 worst experiences in my life. I vomited 10 times in 4 hours I kid you not...and even though they say you have to drink water to hydrate yourself, I couldn't even hold water down. I basically puked anything I ate/drank, even water and I was just exhausted by the time I could finally get myself to the doctor.
One tolerably painful jab later, I was home resting and even though I felt much better by the same night I don't think my appetite is fully recovered. X and I met up with Dusk and Jerilyn the next day for drinks and late dinner, and it was ironic that we had buffet when I had zero appetite LOL. But I still enjoyed myself, and it really feels good to just unwind with great friends and good food. My spirits really lifted after that night, and I think I need more of such 'chill-out' sessions to keep myself going definitely.
Crystal Jade steamboat buffet! The soup was really delicious and the best part is xiao long baos are free flow here! I'm amazed that X and Dusk probably polished off 8 baskets of the xiao long bao...and that's not X in the pic btw. Just in case you were wondering.
Wedding bells are definitely ringing and X and I are getting busy with the preparations. What was supposed to be a simple private affair is turning into a huge fiasco. Thanks to my mom who keeps adding people to the guestlist at whim and expecting the decorators and caterers to just accommodate our every request. I've been getting increasingly annoyed at first, but I figured I owe it to my parents and it's only right that I make them happy by doing what they want. Especially since my mom helped me a lot with the house-hunting and all.
Here's a preview of the cupcakes that we'll be giving as 'li bing' to our relatives:
I honestly think X looks good. Therefore I think I have to put in more effort to look good on the big day as well. Probably engaging someone to do my hair and makeup now, because now the whole thing will be a day long event now (thanks to my mom who insisted on a dinner after the solemnization). Cannot just be anyhow liao if you get what I mean.
Amidst the flurry of activities I was in London for a few days over the past week. Some random shots:
Bought X a SuperDry tee because I felt really bad for shouting at him the day I left for London. Tensions fly high during all the wedding preparations and I just do not handle stress well. I'm so sorry my love.
Had sushi when I was there, but I'm alot more cautious/ paranoid about what I eat these days after my food poisoning ordeal.
Shopping @ H&M! Bought these leopard print flats even though I know X hates anything leopard print. Finds them cougar-ish=/.
Also added some new stuff to my makeup stash.
Bought the YSL lippie at the airport, it's really moisturizing but I think the color is a little too pale on me. New Chanel blusher and lipgloss, not that I needed any but I just adore makeup! Puts me in a good mood.
Met up with Liping yesterday and bought lingerie for my wedding night. Kinda expensive but it's really pretty=) After all it's a once in a lifetime event and I want to indulge myself a little.
P/S: I feel really lucky to have found X. He's one of the good ones.

These are just 'samples'. Final design will differ slightly:) These definitely cost more than the traditional type but both X and I wanted something more modern that looks and taste good. I don't want to just give something for the sake of following tradition and then it gets wasted if people don't wanna eat it.
And this is X at his fitting for his tailor-made suit. I know right. SO serious that he actually went to tailor-make the suit haha.
