saturday, may 14 2005 - sleepless in Hong Kong

It's be a busy few days. I tried on my wedding dress for the first time. I think it looked good! Not "perfect" really, but it's very pretty. We also had to try on the dress in the "factory" of the dressmaker since her little studio was being renovated, so we really did not have much space to move around which made it hard to see the full effect of the dress. I think once it's ironed and steam cleaned it will be much more impressive. :)

I also went to ShenZhen and ordered 2 more dresses to be made, a white one for the dinner reception and a red one, because Chinese weddings require a red dress. I think the red dress will turn out to be really special and unique. We took a dress I liked from a magazine, added a small train and will embroider a phoenix and dragon on it, very interesting, we'll see how it turns out. So we were running around, ordering dresses, looking for the right cloth, etc. It was pretty hectic.

We also had to the get the dresses I already have altered, since I had wanted to lose weight for the wedding. Well, that didn't happen so there wasn't much to alter... haha. I'll try to lose weight from now until June 3, but I don't think that's going to make much difference in the end. I'm just so sick of this whole lose weight and meeting everybody else's expectations. Of course, I want to look better too, but I couldn't lose any weight, and I feel like...well, I've accepted that...what the hell is your problem?


I feel like I need to sleep more...always very tired...jet lag is so bad!
