Sunday, 20 Sept 2009, Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple - A venue that had mark a remarkable day in my life, another important date that have to be recorded in my history.

Vin and I had our registration of marriage today and witnessed by our families members, together with closed friends around. Both of us had get the preparation ready over the weekends. We went around town to shop for gown, heels and Vin's attire... and of course the most challenging task was to get my stuffs. My gown was one of the earlier task that we had went all places to find a suitable one. After that, my heels was another tiring tries and I couldn't find a pair until the last weekend before our ROM. He wanted to make sure I have the most comfortable heels to walk around that day, I have the most carefree gown with my lovely hand bouquet and my simple yet elegant hair stlye... :-)

Vin's mama and his friends reached KL on saturday morning, a day before our ROM. We rented a house nearby for them to overnight. Aunty came to my house visited mummy and accompanied mummy almost for the whole day. Vin and his friends went out to get my hand bouquet of carla lilies. We ordered the bouquet a week before according to my requirement of how it being wrapped. Unfortunately, as it rained over the evening, my hand bouquet reached home turned yellowish. Due to carla lilies are so "missy"... Vin bought anoher 5 stalks to prepare for the worst. Who knows when the night comes, both the bouquet and the other 5 stalks were all turned down and yellowed. Vin quickly made a call to the florist and ordered another bouquet to be collected tommorow early in the morning. This time, with no choice, I opted for white roses instead to avoid any "emergency" again.

Early Sunday morning, I woke up at 6 in the morning, got myself ready to go over to the rented house to be dressed up. I had made an appointment with my hairstylist at 7am. He straightaway got my hair styled and clipped up. Very simple yet pretty with a hair band... my hair was done in just less than an hour. After that, Vin's turn to get his hair styled while Sis Fong hepled out with my make-up. This was the most tidious part, where my eyes got so sensitive of all the eye products. My eyes keep on tearing, they couldn't get the fake eyebrow sticks and the eye shadow was getting thinner and thinner... They had applied and re-appplied and re-applied for almost 3 times that had taken about more than 1 1/2 hours only on my make up.

While I had my make-up being done, Vin had went out with YC to collect my new hand bouquet of white roses. They reached BMV at about 9am but yet, I am still not done. KY reminded that time is coming to 930am already, we got to leave soonest. We picked up daddy from home and straightaway to BMV. Sis Fong will be fetching Ma and aunty later and we do not want her to wait too long. I reached BMV about 10am. All my ji muis reached, waiting for my arrival... :-D I had Leai, Sue Ann, Yvonne, Equan and Calice present.

Ma managed to attend my ROM happily... she reached the venue about 20 minutes later. We proceed to the ceremony once she reached. The ceremony started with lotsa our personal pro and semi-pro photographers taking photo shots... The Registrar read out the vows of marriage in front of both of us with pa and Vin's ma as witnesses. We exchanged rings and kissed each other... The simple ceremony ended with pictures taken together with the registrar and the new family members.

We had booked 2 tables for lunch at the Cheers Palace Restaurants. Everyone went for the luncheon as well as Ma... She came a lil' late as Sis Fong sent her home first after our ceremony. We do not want her to get tired and too excited... so, we asked her to get home first. She attended the luncheon almost to the last dish... we were all very happy to see her. After that, the luncheon ended around 3pm.

And that, we have marked a history... Vin and I, the husband and wife...

the 4th cycle of chemo...

The 4th cycle supposedly has scheduled on the 2nd Oct. Due to mummy's condition was extremely weak... she couldn't make it that day. After coming home from the 3rd one, she has been sleeping all days long for about more than 2 weeks. She has lost her appetite, she has lost her energy and even she has lost her ability to control on her motion... We have thought of means and ways to help her stimulates back the taste buds... but yet, she feels everything bitter.

On the 2nd Oct, we brought her back to hospital for the chemo, and as speculated, she is not fit for the theraphy that day. Blood test result came out that she was so weak to go through it... her blood count drops. For a normal person, they should have a 12 pints counts, for a chemo patient they should have a 8 pints counts. But mummy, had only 6. Doctor advises she has to take alot of protein to regain her energy and to raise the blood counts. But yet, when we thought of discharging her from the theraphy ward, doctor came by and told us mummy needed to be tranfused in 2 pints of blood, which every pint would takes about 3 - 4 hours.

Mummy has to be admitted into ward that night... We stayed and accompanied mum till late night. Vin and aunty brough dinner over. Pa stayed overnoght with ma in hospital and we went home at around 11pm. Things went on well, and she managed to come home the other day evening. The therapy has postponed to another week on 09.09.09. Hopefully, by that time, she able to recover better and is fits for the therapy...
