While surfing the net, I chanced upon this article from femalebrideonline.com. Why is the phrase, "Love and marriage" and not "Love and wedding"? Why is it called married life and not wedded life? Why is it called Marriage Preparation Course and not Wedding Preparation Course? Why is it called the Institution Of Marriage and not the Institution Of Wedding? The list just goes on. In a recent survey done by the Ministry of Community Development, it stated that Singaporean couples were more concerned about their wedding ceremony than they were about sharing their life with someone new. It is sad to think that the pomp and pageantry of a wedding- which lasts a day -takes precedence over a lifetime of togetherness. Do this quiz to see if you do know the difference between a wedding and a marriage. 1. As soon as he proposed, you... 2. As soon as he put that ring on your finger, your first thought was... 3. When planning the wedding you... 4. One evening while having dinner, you caught a glance of him in a pensive mood and you thought to yourself.. 5. Your church insists that you both attend a marriage preparation course. Your reaction is one of.. 6. Setting up home to you means... 7. While saying your vows, you... 8. When the wedding was over, all you could think of was... 9. Have you discussed the upbringing up of kids, such as the child's religious beliefs, to who will discipline him? 10. When budgeting for the wedding you... 11. Six months before the wedding, your fiance gets laid off from work. This means that your wedding plans are affected. What would you do? HOW YOU SCORE MOSTLY As In fact, your partner never played a prominent role in your life. Right now all your conversation centres on the wedding day itself. Have you both will be talking about after your wedding? MOSTLY Bs To you, a wedding is just a formality to get it all legalized, whereas marriage is the part you know will take a lot out of you as you try to adjust to life as a couple. With this right attitude, you know your married life is going to be fine. In other words, you look forward to growing old with him.
It was about knowing the difference between looking for a wedding and a marriage. Wedding is a one-off kind of thing while marriage is a life-long promise. Short-term versus long-term.
Something worth pondering if you are currently in a relationship or you have fallen in love with that special someone... whether you just wanted a romantic and pleasant wedding or shared togetherness as a couple.
Below is the article...

Your main concern is planning and preparing for the wedding. This has been your obsession since you were a little girl. As you got older, your planning took over your every waking, breathing moment. While dating, you were not so concerned if this man will make a good father or whether he will be a great companion as you grow old together.
You understand the difference between a wedding and a marriage. As you grew up, you somehow managed to get the idea of the perfect wedding out of your head and concentrate your efforts on finding a suitable man who could give you a marriage made in heaven.
In case anyone is wondering why am I surfing on wedding or marriage stuff... I really chanced upon this article while looking for information on Sharon Au.
One of my google search hits links to this webpage: http://www.femalebridesonline.com/articles/features/amain.php?article=oct2000
I guess these articles are dated all the way back to year 2000 bah.
The "Wedding vs Marriage" article appeared to be valid in today's context bah.
While doing my software (TOPAS), I can doing some blogging bah.
While surfing the net, I found some interesting stuff

Wii seems like a fun thing to play with. Looks a lot like arcade games
Agate
Ever since I went to the National Dinosaur Museum, Canberra, I have fallen in love with rocks and minerals. Oh my, my dear Ah Teng had given me one agate pendant necklace from China!
Facts about agate
Agate is a common semiprecious silica mineral that has long been used as a gem and ornamental. Agate is the most common variety of chalcedony which is a form of quartz. Agate is, in fact, identical with quartz in composition and physical properties. Composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), it has a hardness of 7, a glassy luster, a conchoidal fracture, and a specific gravity of 2.60.

December is here again and it's the time of the year when my family goes travelling. There is a bothering question... where shall we go this time round? Gosh, my mummy has travelled to so many places le and she doesn't want to go to cold cold places... sighhh... my sister and I are so sua gu... never seen snow before. So many places are cold cold (like Japan...) this December. And many non cold cold places are expensive to go to... like Australia...
So far... a good option to go China. Big country with different parts having different weather conditions at the same time. Economical--> can shop for more stuff. Beautiful scenery! Cooling weather and not so hot like Singapore for some parts of China. Looking forward to booking a tour!!!
I will be very down if I don't get to go anyway this December...
Random post with random thoughts again...
