Wedding Guestbook Ideas

I have been pondering over the ideas for my guestsbook, deciding between the need to make it lavish or make it simple. After all, it's the thought that counts right?

And lucky for me, my dear friend is sponsoring my wedding guestbook section! Thanks <3
That is really so sweet of uuuuuu :)

So before she had offered, I have pondered over ideas on the guestsbook as I had wanted something different, not merely signing on a scrapbook that may be left in the closet after the event. GOOGLE was my best friend again. Some of the ideas were;

A) Photobooth (Polaroid or Digital Cam with Portable Photo Printer)


B) Vintage



C) Wedding Tree



D) Jengga

E) Envelopes with Notes Inserts on a huge cardboard

So collectively, here are my thoughts - get something that can be displayed in our future nest, something that can constantly remind us of the well wishes from our loved ones and friends. 

A photobooth may be fun but the photos will end up in the scrapbook. Also, the attention should be focused on the Bride and Groom right? Not the photobooth right? HEH ;p

Jengga may be abit too messy. And the Envelope thingy, it may get dusty over time. Ha!

And there, I am left with 2 options. I really love the vintage and wedding tree. So I told Shaz to go ahead with the wedding tree. I might combined an element of vintage into the whole theme... (where the hell do i get that typewriter? I used to have it man!)... well, it's time to start planning, and survey for some things vintage.

YAY.

Interview Tomorrow!

It's been a long time since I had a job interview. And I'm having one tomorrow.

Anxiety level? TO THE MAX!

Having failed in many interviews before, it is no surprise I will get jitterbugs and start wondering if there is something wrong with me. Surely there is something wrong?

I'm an introvert kind of person. I hate being in a social circle, especially among people that I have just met. I am not that "social butterfly" as people call them and that is so weird considering that every Marketing personnel should generally be a "social butterfly".

Having said that, I tried practicing for tomorrow's interview and got frustrated. Why does it seem easy for others and not me... Being depressed at the thought of staying in the current company with no further career progression, I turned to my best friend "GOOGLE" for some advise...

I love this article: It's Worth a Try: An Introvert's Guide to Surviving a Job Interview
It gives you the pump and energy that turns the table around, and makes you, the introvert, leads the conversation. I mean, definitely I am not going to try it because it seems too extreme but I like the fact that the writer "made the interviewers her bitch". LOL.

What a good but weird piece of advise! There are some good pointers though, for example, listening to music that makes you stronger and feel full of confidence before the interview. I'm going to try this tomorrow :)
