Wedding Preparations (or the lackthereof) + WoW Politics

So I finally finally gotten down to a bridal boutique and gotten the package. Granted, it was the first shop that we entered but the price was reasonable and there was a gown I tried that I really liked. Or I remember liking. I guess as wedding gowns go it's pretty normal: bustier style, A-line skirting, longish train, ivory. It does have an irresistable sash in the middle and a not so irresistable bow running down the ass... >.< The bow looks like a veritable mickey mouse....it was just freaking huge! Good thing is that can be removed or reduced though I don't know how that will change the effect.

And after a while, I'm starting to wonder if it the gown really looked as good as I thought. Like maybe I just willed it to look good. But at least for that evening, I felt like I was a pretty bride. Next time, when I go down for my actual gown selection, I'll bring a camera and come back with pics :)

The big day is set to be end of November. I'm only having a customary (chinese) wedding followed by wedding lunch at a restaurant (?).... this part really isn't sorted out yet. It might just turn out to be a small family affair. I personally won't want a really formal dinner/reception for friends. Maybe I'll have a more informal buffet thing for colleagues and friends... I'll have to think about that.

As for my virtual world in World of Warcraft, we've recently left my old guild to join another. The old guild master (GM) had a horrible attitude.... I felt like it was like work except worse... suck up or you won't get preference in raids (WoW speak for groups bigger than 5 and is the primary mechanism to get better equipment) or gear. So even though I liked many of the people in the guild, I left :/

I still feel bad about it because I'm quite fond of them and it felt like I've betrayed them in some manner. On the other hand, the GM was really getting on my nerves with the preferential treatment and dictatorial style. *sigh* never thought I'd get emotional over a game.

Well, I'll just have to hope for the best in the new guild. They are not Singaporeans and they speak predominantly in "ching chong cheena". We'll see how it goes...

P.S: And I forgot to mention, we've recently crossed the 5 year mark :) Spent that evening picnicing by ECP. For all his lack of culinary skills, he makes some mean salmon + cream cheese sandwiches. Extra salmon pls!
