Actually ar, I am very far-sighted one...
In most things I consider myself quite near-sighted and would rather leave the decision-making til the eleventh hour (think Scarlett O'Hara: "I'll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day"...). Occassionally though, I like to project my thoughts into the far- far- far-away future.... And these are some decisions I have come up with:
1. I shall get married when I'm 28 years old. The ceremony shall be outdoors in a garden, preferably one with a Roman fountain. Indoor church weddings are lovely but a bit old-fashioned.
2. I want the verse from Chapter 8 of Song of Songs to be recited by either my brother or sister - "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."
3. During my wedding I want the song 'All The Way' by Frank Sinatra to be played. However, I shall walk down the aisle obviously to the tune of none other than The Wedding March by Mendelssohn.
4. The garden will be decorated with more white roses than you've ever seen in your entire life, as well as lilies, a bouquet of which my bridesmaid will be carrying. Cos her name's Lily too! (that's if she isn't already a Mrs by then...)
5. My trousseau for the special day shall be a white satin tube-dress, with a short string of pearls.
6. I suppose I'd have to make my entrance in a white car cos a green car would look a bit weird, no?
7. During the evening dinner-reception, we will have a live jazz band.
8. I've already named my children. Faith (who will be Sook Meng's god-daughter), Titus and Abigail. Hopefully in that order, God willing. Actually, I wouldn't mind having two sons and a daughter instead of the other way round, but I haven't really thought of a second boy's name so tentatively it's gonna be two daughters and a son. (=
Sounds good, eh? Now I just need to find me someone to marry me and who'd agree to all of the above. Any takers? Lol.

gawd... its all about marriage and nuffing else innit? how about world domination etc..?
yeah... my far-sightedness is, as i have mentioned, rather limited. world domination's not on my list at the moment. i don't know what i'd do with the world if it was mine. i reckon i'd get quite bored of it.
fair enough, so where do i sign up to be shortlisted?
cannot be bridezmaid can be matron-of-honour what (juzt learned that term actually!) i've got a xite (my friend'z wedding album taken by a hotxhot photographer) which i think u may be interezted in! xend to u later...
=)
i reckon thoze aren't too demanding...and after all, mozt guyz would love to leave the bride to arrange thoze minor detailz (major onez being logizticz and finance, hur hur)...well, unlezz he'z the emo-i'm xo deep-type or otherwize very into art/muzic. then he might dizagree on your choixez. hehe.
but i tink name of children got problem a bit for u to decide on yr own. well i'm xure there'z more than one perxon out there who'z willing! ;)
and btw, u didn't anxwer my tag on eric'z blog...u applying for internxhip where?
alwayz read thiz word but never bothered to find out exact meaning...till now.
trousseau
n. (pl. trousseaux or trousseaus /-s@Uz/) the clothes, linen, and other belongings collected by a bride for her marriage.

ps: ironically, my mum says i should only get a gf after 28.(a true fact based on her superstition)
awww, sorry to disappoint, may! really :)
