In a couple of hours, Joshua, Joash and I will be on our way to Melbourne to visit my bestie. I'll be the maid of honor for her wedding to her beloved man. Since I'll also be singing the wedding song during the ceremony and make the wedding speech at the reception, I'm rather nervous as I really don't want to make any mistakes.
God has been so gracious to us as He reminded us to get the visa and travel insurance just two days ago... Can you believe that we had totally forgotten about them!?! Praise God for His just-in-time prompting. It would indeed be terrible if we were delayed in any way cos we're not there just for fun. I want our efforts to be a blessing to the wedding couple.
I even went to get a hair highlight (For the first time in my life!) and a manicure+pedicure to look more presentable. (Hmmm... Why am I doing so much more than what I did for my own wedding??? *shake head*) The manicure is rather irritating though. I'm so self-conscious of it while I do housework, cook and care for baby that I wonder if it is worth the effort. I suppose I'll only do manicures after I become a rich "tai tai" and has no need to lift a finger to do the chores. Hee hee... Pedicures will do for now.
Now, I'm so delirious with excitement that I don't know what to do with myself! I really enjoyed packing the luggage for the trip. It was so fun, and challenging though considering the chilly weather over there, coordinating the clothing for all three of us, enough for the whole week at that. Many people find it a hassle to pack for baby, but since we're buying the diapers, wet wipes and baby food over there, it is not so bad. We managed to pack everything into a huge luggage and a small backpack. I do hope that our medicine kit passes the Australian customs. Of course, it'll be great if none of us falls sick but no harm being cautious.
Just for today, no housework or cooking for me. I'm even too lazy to do much flashcards or reading to Joash. :P
God, please help Joshua to clear his work so that he'll come home in time... Last night, Joshua and I hardly got any sleep as we were trying to finish up some of the work that he has to hand over today. Even though it was tiring, it felt very intimate for us to work together on the task during the wee hours of the morning. It reminded me of my uni days when I had to work on projects with my teammates. Ahhh.... so nostalgic. It is also indeed my privilege that my experience as a teacher in the past enables me to be a helpmate to my husband in his new career as a Polytechnic lecturer. *all smiles*
I'll definitely post the photos/videos after I come back. So till then. *huge grin*
