[VDL - Part 7] Pre-wedding Shoot Prep

I feel like a potpourri of emotions these days.

Part of me is tired from work, part of me is all looking forward to the impeding Korea trip, part of me feels lost and unsure of what I need to prepare for the pre-wed shoot and part of me is anxious about not being able to finish everything before I go off.

I just did a 10pm today and I would gladly work OT for the rest of the week if I didn't have to run all the errands before the wedding shoot - Dental appointment, mani-pedi, change money, buy a casual dress for the shoot, pack luggage... And I've been wanting to do facial, go gym, but seriously, NO TIME! 

I feel so unprepared and I don't feel like I'm a BTB going for her pre-wedding shoot in 1 weeks' time -_-

Anyway people have been asking me abt our Korea pre-wedding package. It's all based in Korea - gown, studio, MUA and hairstylist, so I'm really excited and a little jittery about the whole experience!

And yes, it's mainly indoor shots precisely because it's Korea! That's what they are famous for :) But it's really because I  I love their make-up! I really really hope they do a nice one for me so that I can also learn how to do Korean make-up :p

Below are some shots from the studio that we chose. I hope the sun is as warm and fuzzy that day too :D

And I'm praying hard that we get to do a sunset shot like this!

I'm looking forward to having a good break as well :) My travel bug is biting and I'm feeling the itch having not travelled for so long. 

Still can't quite register, but we're flying off this weekend :D 

Ok now i'm really excited. 

Boo Boo Friday

Yesterday was boo boo Friday :(

Got into a minor accident on our way to work. A lorry in front of us e-braked and even though pops was not following v close behind, we couldn't stop in time to prevent crashing because it was too sudden.

Thank God that pops instinctively swerved out as he jammed his brake so the car was only scraped at the driver's side rather than crashing head-on into the lorry. If that had happened, I dunno how the car and us would have ended up.

But the car was in a bad enough shape that Pop's can't open the door on his side.

Our hearts pain to see the car in such a state coz it seems like s'one scraped of its skin, revealing the skeleton :(

But nonetheless we really really thank God that we're safe and sound :)

Lesson #6 - Do or Drop

This period has been CRAZY at work.

From a 4-person team to a 2-person team and a temporary 1-person team in a span of a couple of months during peak period. Not the best arrangement, but I survived!

Things will probably cont to be crazy till we leave for our shoot, but trough this period I think I've learnt 1 important thing.

When u think that you have TOO many things on hand, don't stop and procrastinate. When we feel overwhelmed at work, we tend to just stop and think about what what we should do. S'times, we forget to get started because we simply can't figure out where to start.

I've learnt to just get started and clear what ever I can, when I can. Procrastinating for that 15 mins may mean that I've wasted the time I could have used to clear my emails or craft an approval. 

And at the end of the day, I'm starting to learn to drop and go. There are just too many things on the list and I can cont working on them till the next day and the day aft if I don't learn to drop them and go at the right time. Workload will only increase as we progress. If we do not learn how to drop and go at appropriate time, how can we balance our time between work, self and family in the future?

And I'm thankful that I have pops to keep reminding me all this :) He has learnt the art of it and he has been very efficient in his work. I'm learning!
