It was one of the biggest scandals of the 80s. Lloyds. It started with just a new requests for money from various Names. And then the demands got bigger. And bigger. Until thousands of people, some rich, most of them just comfortably off, found their lives ruined, homes gone, relationships wrecked. All because of money. When you do have it, its value isn’t that important. When you don’t - it’s everything. Set against the glittering, adrenaline-fuelled last days of the 80s, AN ABSOLUTE SCANDAL is the ultimate story of the rise and fall in the fortunes of a group of people- and the scandal whose effects were felt across the board. With devastating results …
An Absolute Scandal by Penny Vincenzi is one of the thickest book that i ever read with more than 800 pages. It tells the story of how Simon, Nigel, Christine and Flora’s life is after their life saving gone due to the wrong investment that they unfortunately make. Things went downhill from there on, with the story continue with the ways the family cope with the problems etc.

Since the day we decided to get married in July, i noticed that i became very sensitive on this issue. I knew since the beginning of our relationship that Dear care about his family very much..yet i still cant comprehend the possibility of us staying with his parent one day. Because of that issue, both of us have a few arguments.
I guess that is what married life is all out.. it is not just a matter of two persons anymore..

The conversation that i had nowsaday are geared towards my preparation for my wedding. There are just too many things that we need to buy; as at today (4th June). We need to get cufflinks (preferably dragonfly to suit the theme), my wedding shoes and bra for my gown as well as searching for the right sizes of teddy bear for my wedding bouquet.
We decided to have bears instead of the flowers for my wedding bouquet. In mind, i wanted to have a wedding bears in the middle and surrounded by small bears. I will need to have at least 5 five bears (inclusive of the wedding bears) to create a bouquet of bear.
The reason why i wanted a bear bouquet in replacement for flower bouquet is because it will also become a props for our wedding photography and also for the actual ceremony next year rather than we buy them again just for the purpose.Besides that, we get to keep them as part of our wedding memorabilia

It was one of my favourites way of chillin’ out with Dear.. me reading a book and Dear with his all time companion, his PSP It was a rather hot day that day that i had to get him to take me out to shopping mall as i couldnt stand the heat in the house. I always had a book with me whenever i go out.. be it with Dear or with my friends and family. Carrying a book is an automatic mode to me even when i may not have the time to read

At first we thought off engaging PIW to do my bridal gown but we changed our mind when we met Melinda Looi, Malaysia’s famous designer. Dear had always been a fan of Mell’s brand thus getting her to design for our big day is really making our special day meaningful.
My gown design will have the same theme as Dear’s suit.. something special to mark the occasion. Since Dear are pretty interested in macro photography, naturally he choose dragon flies as our wardrobe’s theme.;)
The design of my gown will be something as the chiffon design (in my earlier entry) as it is what i really want for my gown. However, Mell will add the dragon flies and flower embroidery on the upper part of my gown with a detachable clip on sach at the back.
The fitting is schedule end of June with the delivery on the 12th July 2009; a week before my registration date.
