I've just done lunch, with the icy cold papaya that Hubby has painstakingly prepared for me last night, without my knowledge & i think thats why it tasted exceptionally sweet~~~!!! :D

Its another longgg weekend, & we'll be headed down to meet Andy on Saturday, to make the down payment as promised... HAHA!!! We're meeting that clown again... Heh..

Can someone imagine, what it'll be like, for 3 clowns to gather together?? HAHA!!!

Anyway, we just hope to deliver the $$$ safely!! Its the first time ever, we'll be carrying sooooooooo much cash with us...

DURIANNNNN PANNNNNNNNNCAKEEEEEEEE, wait for me!!! I'm coming for you soooonnnn!!!

Ok.. I know i'm being very random today!!

Ciaoz peeps!! Enjoy your longgg weekend!! ;D

Finally, finally!!! :D

I finally see some money rolling in for my adsense a/c.. Though it might not be much, but i'm happy with the fact that its generating already!!! Keep it going babes & dudes!! Keep on clicking man!! Thanks in advance!!! Whee~~~ :D

I'm currently looking for ways to supplement my income.. I'm on an intensive saving plan for my wedding which is only like 14 months away...

I'm so in need of alot of cash, so much so that i won't mind if you guys can donate some to me.. Hahaha!!!

Frankly, i do not mind ANY part time or one -time assignments.. So long as i can earn extra income to supplement my daily expenses & my wedding expenses, (so long its legal & healthy) i'm happy already... HAHA!!!
=

Headed down to the wedding venue yesterday to meet up with Andy to sign the contract.. In actual fact, we didn't know that we were supposed to sign the contract yesterday, coz when i liaised with him last Saturday via calls & SMS-es, he didn't tell me anything about the contract..

Anyway, since we felt Andy was sincere, we might as well sign it, since we were told that the normal practice was to book the banquet venues a year ahead of time...

But, the problem was that we didn't have any cash or credit cards.. But Andy was very very flexible, & told us that we could come down on Saturday to make payment instead, since OCBC was already closed by 7pm.. Flexible, isn't he?? :D

Also while he went to get the contract drawn up, he instructed his chef to cook us a whole big plate of yummy & special crystal hor fun, (it was complimentary) which you won't get to eat anywhere, coz of their 'secret recipe'...

If you were to ask me now, do i look forward to MY BIG DAY, i would gladly say yes, becoz Andy made my day.. :D

We were even joking with him last night that he actually missed out something in the contract.. So when he asked what else was short, i told him cheekily,

ANDY MUST STILL BE HERE NEXT JUNE!!

All three of us looked @ each other, then bursted in laughter, before proceeding to preview on our free hotel room on our AD, & one word sums it all... (the whole process of signing the contract+ the preview of the room+the services rendered to us thus far:

F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!!

Last weekend, was probably the most busiest one i ever had...

My day started @ 7.30am...

I woke up @ 7.30am to get prepared before heading down to the clinic for a urine re-test as i failed it the first time round.. (they told me high protein was detected in my urine)

I enquired from the nurse what it was supposed to mean, but she was unable to give me an answer.. (''__'')

Thereafter, i met Jes to FINALLY passed her the goodies i've brought home from KL for her, since she was popping by Tampines.. Had brunch with her & headed home for a rest before heading out to meet Hubby @ Orchard.. (lets not go into details for this part)

Then, headed to Simei's KFC for my super duper late lunch @ 4.30pm... (FYI, my brunch of Yong Tau Foo was @ 10am)

Got home @ 6pm, rested awhile before heading out again @ 7pm for 2nd Uncle's (Mum side) birthday dinner... It was yummy, but not as good as Yum Cha.. Heh...

Dinner ended @ 10pm... After that, we headed down to Cousin's (Dad side) newly opened KTV pub.. Woah~~ Its the first time i walked into a pub in my 26 years ok!!! Well, all i can say is, i didn't like it, as musics was blasting like nobody business & it felt like i had my heart in my mouth...

Actually, its quite a big one, with 4 levels..

Level one was pub+ktv, while level 2 is solely for KTV..

Level 3 was the most happening level, with live band performances+pub.. Woah~~ Tell you ar, you'll get headaches within seconds you set foot there man!!

Level 4, was admin office..

Overall, quite a good place to be in, with nice decos & ambiance... :D

Cousin was so sweet!! There was free flow of beer for relatives, & Hubby wolfed down 2 cups of beer... BIL lagi best!! He was red all over, & looked as he was drunk man!!!

We decided to call it a day when it was 12 midnight... Headed home, & plunked into bed almost immediately after my shower...

Came Sunday, was service, then young adult cell, then tambourine classes, then dinner & home.. Woah... Buay tahan lor!!! So tiring man!! Especially when it feels like i haven't slept for years & had to struggle to keep awake throughout, & that should explain WHY i was fast asleep by 8.30pm last night.. Heh!!!

My weekend was very happening hor??!! HAHA!!! :D

p/s: Oh ya, before i sign out, i'll be back with photos of the ballroom soon.. We've got an appointment with Andy tonight.. So, stay tuned!! :D

I've finally got something to smile about this Monday morning.. (=

Went to tambourine classes as usual yesterday, & saw Wendy, my new friend.. We've started talking only last week, & within a week of exchanging msn contacts & chatting up with her online, i've realised that she an angel, God has placed in Hubby's & my life.. (=

You see, actually, i've seen her around in church for sometime already, but we used to just nod & exchange smiles without talking..

During last week's casual chat with Pastor Eugene, we came to know that she was actually majoring photography in i-dunno-what university.. So, i enquired on her services & even saw her works...

Well, main reason was, we didn't want to engage Chris Ling's team of photographers anymore after the meetup with the very nasty manager... We didn't want the bill to come out a shocker!!! Their charges are like:

AD photography: $560 with 8 rolls of film, but they only return you the photos (non edited ones) that you developed, & if you wanted anything more, it'll be @ $70 per roll... So assuming your whole day's picture come up to like say 10 rolls, it'll work out to approximately: $560+140=$700, & i'm not sure if there'll be any more hidden or additional charges...

Now Wendy's charges are more clear cut with no hidden cost or whatsoever.. Her charges are capped @ $850, & it includes all edited photos in form of CD & a personalised photo album for us.. (=

She said it could be cheaper, coz she has yet to work out the costs, which includes rental of photography equipments...

In actual fact, her normal charges for whole day photography is @ $1200 for the same package that she's offering me, according to her website... She's such a darling~~~

Then Pastor Eugene was so sweet can~~~ He told Wendy to charge 50% to their church!!! But i'm not sure if he was joking or not lah since he was like laughing when he said that.. Heh!! And he even said that we could use their premises for the church wedding @ no charge!!! Gosh!!

It made me think.. I'm a member of my own church, (the rental is very steep!!!) but yet, i've got to pay to use the premise, whereas we could use someone else's church for FREE when we're non-members?? It sounds absurd & illogical, but TRUE!!

How sad to be a member of one church, yet have to hold your wedding in another.. HAHA!! You call can laugh all you want..

But the thing is, the church is a little too small to accommodate all the guests....

But anyway, i would like to express my utmost gratitude to Pastor Eugene for having such a big heart!!! :D

FYI, they're coaching us tambourine & flag dance @ zero cost!!! I really thank God for them man!!!

May God continue to bless them richly & abundantly!!! Amen!! :D

Yet another bout of rashes outbreak...

Its been so long since i had one & it totally turned me off when i found red spots appearing all over my body,, Gosh!!! It looked like chicken pox!! But thank God, it wasn't... (=

The doctor, (not Lynette) didn't even give me MC.. *POUTS* If it was Lynette, i would have easily gotten MC coz she knows my history, as she has been seeing me for quite sometime now.. As for the male doctor who saw me yesterday, its either he was just too lazy to read through the history, or my outbreak, he deemed, i need no rest.. Sigh... )=

I had to take leave for my rashes, which just didn't make sense.. )=

Good thing Maragret allowed a claim on that.. (=

The medication was supposed to make me feel better.. But, as of now, i'm not feeling any better, & i'm still itching all over..!!! Its so distracting ok!!! Gosh!!!

Imagine having red spots on ur face, hands, legs & back.. Tell me, how can i contain the itchiness??? Why did the doctor not cover my MC?? Not even one day?? Like i said, if it was Lynette, she would have written me a 2 days MC with any hesitation... Heh!!!

I want to stop scratching!! But the itch is really getting on my nerves!!! So ITCHY can!!! And Hubby's so bad!! He forbids me to scratch, & if i do, either he'll ask me: YOU MONKEY IS IT??Or he'll just grab me by the hand (i used to scratch) really hard & REFUSED TO LET GO until i promise to be a good girl & stop all the scratching...

Tell me, HOW TO STOP SCRATCHING???? Its itching like hell!!! Applying powder DOES NOT HELP!!! Showering does help a little, but it'll recur after a while... The prescription by the doctor is NOT HELPING @ all.. )=

Gosh!!!!!!!

The google ads on my page is NOT generating me any income... )=

I need you guys to help me out.. I need someone to click, click, click... I want to see some $$$ rolling in please!!! )=

I snapped @ the treatment Daddy has gotten from that spoilt brat & 败家子 !!! What has Daddy ever done to deserve the treatment a dog deserves???!!! My Daddy is not a dog, not your dog!!! SHIT YOU!!!

Which man would do free labour for your 'beautiful' terrace house without whining a wee bit?? The answer is, MY DADDY!!!

Which elder can tolerate the way you talk & act without giving you the tight slap you deserve..??? The answer is, MY DADDY!!!

Who the hell would buy your lunch in for you each time you were lazy to go out for lunch & not take $$ from you??? The answer is, MY DADDY!!!!

FYI, i don't even do this to my Daddy ok!!!! I pay him back whatever & whenever i asked him to help me pack food home, unless my Daddy insists that i need not pay him...!!! But you?? You just ti siao ti gong & assume that Daddy is treating you!!!

Who is he??? MY DADDY, YOUR UNCLE!!!! YOU SPOILT BRAT!!!!

Apart from flirting around, changing girlfriends as often as you change underwear, going to pubs for drinking sessions, spending up to a few hundreds each night, what else are you good at??? SHIT YOU!!! SHIT YOU!!! SHIT YOU!!!!!

Wake up your idea & get a life man!!!!! Buck up will you?? Don't shatter the high hopes your Dad had for you & your big brother!!! Bottom line, please learn to listen, & respect!!!!! I think you won't hope to see the business will go bust in your hands.. Will you??!!!

My Daddy is such a rare breed & yet you don't know how to cherish!!! My Daddy is NOT going back until you offer your apology sincerely with @ least a cup of tea..

I don't give a damn even though i know that you won't be reading my blog when you don't even know the existence of this blog!!!!

Sorry, people I know I've been ranting too much!!! Bear with me alright?? Everything is STILL NOT GOING RIGHT, & i need this space to channel my frustrations!!!!

Hopefully, 明天会更好!!!

Peace out..

I wonder, did your parents teach you manners...

You're already a 27 year old working adult, yet your actions speaks otherwise...

Dad has been slogging all these years, & yet this is the treatment you think he deserves?? Your heart must have been eaten by some beast..!!!

Late grandpa left behind this business to keep the family together, & yet the treatment that Dad gotten from you today, the 'Managing Director' was such!!!

I hate & despise you.. You don't deserve respect in ANY FORM, from me @ all!!!

Do you think that, with your calibre & paper qualifications, & the disrespect you had for your elders, qualify the post of 'Managing Director..??' You're nothing but a piece of shit, if not for your Dad..!!

Late Grandpa had tasked him the President position simply becoz your Dad was the 'eldest' son...

Your Dad has 3 sons, none of which he can depend on, & yet he made you the MD.. I really doubt his move, & i need someone to enlighten me...

How can someone, who barely knows respect, continue the already failing (due to the economic crisis) family business???

How can someone, who is so lazy, work something out to keep the business going despite the downturn..???

I think, one fine day, the business is going to fold in you & your brother's hands... Its just a matter of time..

My Dad has done so much over the past years, not only for the company, but also your family.. Yet this is what he got in return today.. SHIT YOU!!! Really.. I hate you!!

Have you clean forgotten how my Dad became the handyman whenever your terrace home had leakage or when something had broken down..?? He went there, corrected the error or fault, FOC... MIND YOU!! Its EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

Try calling the plumber or repairman.. See whether they could do it for you FOC, FOR ONCE, JUST ONCE...

SHIT YOU!! Wake up your bloody idea ok!!! Get this clear!! My Dad DOES NOT need this job!!! I think your Dad needs my Dad more than anything else!!!

Your new & 'beautiful' terrace house needs constant servicing & upkeeping.. Try calling the plumbers or repairman to see if they could ATTEND TO YOUR HOUSE IMMEDIATELY @ NO CHARGE!!! You ungrateful spoilt brat!!!

Managing Director so what?? Big F is it??!!!!!

我倒想看看，你这个所谓的"managing director"能嚣张多久！！！

Like many other bloggers, realised that i'm fast losing the motivation to blog... My lateness in blogging should explain already...

Well, nothing much happened over the weekend.. I rotted away @ home, coz i don't see & can't find any ounce of strength or motivation to get my butt out of the house... Hubby & i are saving up really hard now, & we no longer splurge like how we did in the past - our monniversaries...

Mum is still the best-est... I can really feel it... She walked into my room on Saturday morning, while i was still lazing in bed.. She stuffed something i needed badly into my hands, smiled, & walked off...

It took me sometime to realise what it really was, & i was near tears... I couldn't thank her enough, i know.. Never will i ever be able to repay her for the love she showered me with.. Not just me, but my sisters as well... :D
=

Then came yesterday.. Went for tambourine classes & got very demoralised when i couldn't catch up with their pace @ all.. They're already going quite slowly with the steps, but i had difficulties catching all the complicated steps... But my laoshi uber patient with me!!! Whew~~~:D

I've made one new friend... She so cute & she made me wanna huggg her soooooo much!! =D

This Sat, its Newton to look @ another venue for our banquet.. Going to see see only!! Dear has promised that we'll be having our dinner @ Royal @ Queens!!! =D

If you were to ask me, i guess the dinner will be the only thing i'll be looking forward to... Yippie~~~ =D

Shall blog again soon..

I'm in no mood to blog today, probably due to the fact that the wedding package thingy is weighing on my mind... )=

Give us some light, & show us the way Oh Lord...
=

On another note, yesterday's dinner was a happy & enjoyable one... The 'party' ended @ 2230, & Hubby, together with BIL then left for home.. Its gonna be another 2plus months before the next birthday celebration...

I'll blog more when i feel better...

First & fore-most, i'll like to wish my hubby, a very very happy 29th birthday!! :D

Hope that you liked the cute little surprise that i've given you this morning..

I LOVE YOU!! :D
=

As you guys have known, we went to the wedding studio last night, in bid to negotiate for alternatives services (eg. Actual Day photography or videography) only to be told by the manager that we would have to top up $$ for whatever services we wanted to change!! Personally, i found it unreasonable, & i tried to reason with her, coz the deposit that we placed was not a few hundred, but a whopping $1288!!!

So when i threw her the question of why need i top up $$ for the AD photography when Hubby had already made a payment of $1288, the reason she gave almost made me stand up & gave her a tight slap on her face!!

Her answer was such:

Your original package is $3888.. With it, comes with the free ROM that you've used last year.. And your ROM package is worth-ed $780.. So, (she started punching in the numbers in the calculator, with that turned off face) you're only left with about $500...

I was so shocked when she told me that ok!! How the hell did she come up with that figure??? I don't understand & cannot comprehend, seriously...

For as far as i could remember, all i took from them was a off the rack ROM gown+ some makeup, which i estimated it costs $150 or $200 @ most.. Where did that $780 came from????!!!

The worst part was, i've paid another $30 on the spot for the hairdo, which they told me was not included in my package.. I paid that on the spot without whinning a wee bit... My hand bouquet wasn't from there either, coz once again, they claimed that the bouquet was not included in the package, & if i really needed it, they could get it ready for me @ $80..!!

I thought $80 was too much to pay for, & i decided to source for it myself from online or walking in(s) when i suddenly remembered that Reg might be able to help... So, i called her, & she told me that she could easily get lilies for me @ under $50(after discounts) from the florist she worked for, previously & in the end, i got a nice bouquet of lilies @ a mere $48.15... Thanks Reg!!! :D

Can someone enlighten me where the hell did the $780 figure pop out from????!!! Seriously, by then, i was fuming hell loads man!! I started getting a little agitated..

Then i asked her:

me: so you mean that there is no way we could change any services @ no charge???

she: ya.. its like that one.. you go any bridal shop also same...

me: so you mean that i'm only left with only 2 choices?? One is i stay with you guys & the other is i forgo the $500 (when i barely had any service or items from there) i'm left with???

she: (nodding with a turn-ed off look)

This was when i started 'losing my cool' for good, & started questioning her on why all threads discussing about their wedding studios has been removed from Singapore Brides abruptly, (about their bad services & hidden cost & limited selection on gowns) she tried changing topic almost immediately..

But i was very persistent to know why all threads has been removed, so i bugged her for an satisfactory answer..

me: why was all the threads being removed from Singapore Brides??

she: (she blabbered some nonsense continually)

me: can you please tell me why all threads are being removed when there is nothing wrong with your studio??

she: you got nothing better to do is it?? keep going to the forum for what??

me: i need & have the right to know right??

she: how can you just believe what you saw online?? We've been framed you know??

me: how can that be??

she: why not?? People from the same trade can do anything to frame us..

me: oh?? why don't they frame other people but only studios (they have 3 studio registered under same boss) under your company..?? You think people from the same trade really so free to go use so many different names just to frame you all meh??

she: yes!! why not?? some even employ people to especially frame us online!!

me: (i bursted into laughter) So 不可思议！！！

In my heart i was thinking, you think i was born just yesterday meh??

Then, i proceeded to ask about the MTM gown that was included in our package, & was even more shocked to find out that their MTM gowns are plain white gowns without any beadings or designs included, & if we wanted any designs or beadings, we'll need to fork out another $300-$500 just for the beadings or designs!!! The thing is, after our wedding, the gown is a property of the studio & not ours to keep!!! (of coz i won't want to keep that gown too!! keep for what sia!!)

简直是杀人放火 lor!!

Then she continued:

she: but you have to make sure that the design you MTM will appeal to other brides, or else you will have to buy them back...

me: huh?? where got such thing one?? You guys offer me MTM PLAIN GOWNS, with no designs or beadings.. Then now you want to tell me that the design that i desire, must appeal to other brides or i'll have to buy back @ yet another cost????

I did a quick calculation.. If i go ahead with the MTM gown with designs or beading, the gown will work out to about the figures below.

MTM plain + workmanship equates to $250-$300 approximately, (included in the package) depending on the design..

If i want beadings/designs, it'll cost us another $500...

If sway sway, the gowns appeals to no brides, i'll have to buy back the gown @ another (?) cost..

以最保守的估计来算 ，my gown would easily cost me a whopping $1000 (thats if i need to buy back that gown) to let it rot in my cupboard..

Tell me, who the hell would want to wear a wedding gown on normal days???

Why in the first place want to offer me MTM when you have so many restrictions??? Offer MTM for what??!!!! Wouldn't it be better to select my gowns off the rack???

And if i do select the gowns off the rack, then what about the money i paid for my MTM?? Would i be able to exchange it for other things??? There is no certain answer to that..

And, thats only one part of my nightmare!! There are still accessories to fret about, since the accessories are NOT part of the package, which means, i'll have to pay, if i want to use the accessories, which adds to the costs!!!!

Then, there is optional $550 Actual Day Photography..!!

And the list goes on...
=

Take my sister's experience for example.. They paid a whopping $7000+ for the photographs alone!!! Gosh!!! Photos alone need $7000+ meh??? But they blamed my sister for her 坏眼睛.. Their policy was: You want to take photos, you pay lor, with no room of negotiation!!! $7000+ flew away like that!!! Just like that!!!

Then approximately 2 weeks before her AD, she wanted to change her evening gown to something else, & was shocked to learn that she needed to pay $800(?) for the change of gown.. Gown to gown change for $800?? Or was it $700?? I can't quite remember!!!

My sister told me after the end of the wedding.. I regret referring you there...
=

Anyway, the only thing i was happy about this studio was the turn out of the photographs.. They're gorgeous!!!

Apart from that, i don't see anything that deserve my spending of $$$..

The gowns are limited & restricted..

The manager there s**ks big time with her bad attitude...

The don't-know-come-from-where hidden cost..

Their inflexibility of the changing this-for-that & the additional cost for the change turns me off...

& the list goes on......

Now, its either i'm only left with 2 choices...

to continue the package with them;

or

i forgo the $1288 (oh no!! should be '$500" in that stupid manager's context)
=

They claimed they serviced us for nothing, & that money was some sort of 'compensation' for the time wasted on us!!!

Excuse me?? When ever did they serviced us, when i had to pay for almost everything for my ROM out of my own pocket???!!!

The gown + makeup was the only things we gotten from them.. Nothing else!! Not even a morsel of food!! In fact we bought them doughnuts!!!!

And gone is our $1288 or rather @ least $1000... (if i were to minus away the makeup + the gown based on my own calculation)

My nightmare has just begun... *shudder*

God, please grant us wisdom, & if possible, please open a way for us... $1000 is too much for us to lose to the studio we barely gotten any service from....

We need Your lead & guidance Lord.. Please!!!

I pray in Your mighty name,

Amen

We're heading down to the wedding studio tonight to settle off our original wedding package...

I just hope that everything turns out well..

Shall update again soon..

Signing out with Love,
Rain... :D

No one is perfect in this world.. Not me, nor you..

Love is all about loving a imperfect person, perfectly..

Its said easier than done..

I love the breakfast you painstakingly made for me this morning.. Thou it was just simple sandwiches, it was more than enough to fly me to Cloud9.. As i sink my teeth into the sandwiches, i felt so blessed to have you into my life... ^__^

I'm so in love with the sandwiches, & you... :D

For as far as i could remember, i've never really cooked or made something for you, except for some Korean Noodles with 2 hotdogs, which you polished off in a matter of minutes, probably due to your hunger.. But whatever it was, i was indeed happy to see you polish off every single bit of the noodles...

Loving you was easy.. You went hyper over the smallest thing i did for you, probably because, like me, you never really knew what being in love felt like, until we met via the most impossible way one can think off, & struck it off almost immediately... :D

I'm sucha imperfect person, yet you could love me the way i wanted you to, oh~~~ so perfectly~~

You're already more than what i could ever ask for, & what i've ever wanted or needed..

With your birthday round the corner, i'll like to wish you have the happiest & most memorable birthday ever, with me & my family.. I'll make you the happiest man on Earth.. This, i promise you, & all you'll need to do is anticipate..:D

Countdown, 2 more days to go... :D

In a span of 3 days, just 3 days, i've heard enough bad news..

On Good Friday, we hurried to the hospital upon receipt of news.. As i saw her lying on the hospital bed, curled up like a worm.. She was weak & frail & worst of all, she was beyond recognition coz she'd lost so much weight..

Then came yesterday, when we got the news that a brother-in-christ was being called home by the Lord on Monday, 06-04-10, after losing the battle to cancer...

Then, came the news that SP is being admitted to the hospital on Saturday, after coughing for one month.. Nobody knows how she is now, or when will she be back to work, not even Mr Tan who told me the news... )=

Yes, i may not have liked her all along.. But all that didn't matter now.. All i wish, is for her to get well soon.. She's quite pitiful actually.. Her Mum was diagnosed with cancer just the week before, & now, this had to happen to her...

I need time to digest bad news after bad news.. One is a relative, a churchmate, & a colleague...

I can only hope & pray for a miracle now...

Its been 4 years..

Dad had decided its time to 加入他们的大家庭..

I do not feel any sense of belonging, nor any sense of happiness.. In actual fact, i'm struggling to find the reason to feel happy & excited...

I realized that i was just going with the flow.. Deep within, i hated the thought of having to forgo that one for this one...

I found no friendship here.. None @ all...

My only friends, HIM & him...

I feel like crying.. Teach me how to smile... My smile, is long forsaken & i've long forgotten how to smile whenever i'm there...

Headed down to My Bridal Room last night to have a look on the range of gowns they have.. I dare say, that most of their gowns are really gorgeous.. :D

Uncle Quek, (one of the major shareholders) attended to us & showed us alot of very nice photographs, & it made me soooooooooooooo excited... :D

Actually, in the last few days, i've been logging on the bridal forum, www.singaporebrides.com.sg to do my research & found that My Bridal Room has the best comments thus far.. Also, i've chanced upon a BTB's blog (My Bridal Room) & saw that all her gowns are very very nice... :D

In actual fact, you don't even need to have a MTM (made to measure) gown simply because you can easily find a gown that fits you, OTR (off the rack) & all you need is some alteration, so that the gown could fit you... Great, isn't it..?? :D

Now.. There is this issue now that we've got to fret about.. We've got to go back to our original studio to settle off the package first before we can commit anything to My Bridal Room... But we've got absolutely no idea on what we can exchange for, coz we understood that no refund would be allowed.. )=

Can anyone advise us on what to do..???

In the meantime, we can only hope for the best.. Wish us luck...

I'll be updating more & more about our wedding preparations in the next few months, so that my jiemei(s) can get the latest updates on the ongoing preparations.. So, 姐妹们, check back often ya?? =D

We've decided to have our wedding photoshoot come October 26th...

Kinda excited, coz we've got absolutely no idea on what to expect, but we're so looking forward to it... =D

Well, we may seem kan-chiong to some, but we just want to start early, coz i don't like to do things @ the very last minute unless due to unforseen circumstances, as the saying goes, if YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL.. So true, isn't it..?? =D

I just hope that my niece/nephew does not choose to come out on that day.. HAHA!! Be good ok sweetie.. =D

Anyway, i've placed ads on my blog, & can any kind souls please click on them so i can generate some income for my wedding?? Thanks in advance!!! (=

I'm starting to get stressed about many things...

I googled on the web on my wedding studio last Friday & is dismayed to find so many negative comments on the Singapore Brides Forum.. I'm not going into any details coz its causing me uber low morale... I hope things get better soon, really... )=

Anyway, on a happier note, Hubby & I went to see Andy on Saturday, & is quite satisfied with everything.. The ambiance, the wide range of wedding favors+wedding invitation cards available for selections, the services rendered, (Dear, remember the coke & red wine?? =D), that sincere smile, & that warm handshake... =D

Showed Dad & Mum the menu, & they're quite satisfied with it too!!! =D We'll be going to see another place this coming Saturday, before coming to a final decision... =D

Now then i understand the pain of having to do & decide everything on your own with little help rendered @ this point of time... Guess this is just part & parcel of growing up...

In time to come, as the dates nears, it'll get more & more tedious... So i shall just sit back & relax abit while i still can.. If i can't even handle the simplest task of deciding the wedding venue & whether or not we should still go ahead with the church wedding, (the rental, for the church wedding is SKY HIGH) i think i'll be crying every single day in the nearing months, prior to my wedding..!!

I just hope everything will go smoothly...

*praying*

Wedding plannings has started.. =D

Our wedding date, 05-06-10 is confirmed..

We're currently in the midst of deciding on the venue of our wedding dinner.. We've a couple of them in mind, & appointment has been made with one of them tomorrow to discuss in details... =D

I've seen the checklist for planning a wedding, & its giving me terrible headache!!! With so much things to prepare, & so much things to take note of, i'm beginning to wonder, if i could cope with the upcoming stress...

We have totally no idea, just how much would be deemed enough for our church wedding, the tea reception, the expenses that'll be incurred for using the santuary, who shall be the page boy & flower girl etc..

Also, i'm also stressed with the limited amount of money we have.. We're on a tight budget.. I hope we'll be able to manage without having to resort of taking loans, like how many of my friends did, & is finding difficulties in repaying, especially in downtimes like now..

Everything is about $$$... I kinda regret spending the $$ like there's no tomorrow.. If not, i would have been a millionare now....

I'm not so worried about the wedding dinner expenses, (coz according to my married couple frenz, they told me the you can open the angpows on the same day & pay them after the wedding banquet is over) but other misc unseen costs... )=

Anyway, i don't want to worry too much for now.. I'll just take a step @ a time, let go & let God... =D

Last but not least, Happy 21st Monniversary Dear!!! =D

Sometimes, i really wonder, why & how Hubby & I managed to come this far in our r/s.. Read on, & you'll understand where & why this thought came upon me...

Given our vastly different personality, characteristics, & preferences, its really a miracle that we can come this far, & i would like to give thanks to our Lord for seeing us through, be it good times or bad... =D

He is more of a outdoor person, while i'm more of a indoor person.. He loves going out to see flowers, take 圣陶沙春节花卉 as an example.. He would go flowers watching while i would be walking around aimlessly, hoping to get out of the place, ASAP!!! He is very into sports, like jogging, cycling, or playing the badminton...

For me, like i've mentioned, i'm more inclined to be a indoor person.. I love staying @ the comfort of my home, hugging my Nemo to sleep, play games on my Pinky or watching TV shows...

Actually, fact is that i hate crowded places, i hate to queue just to relive myself.. I hate doing sports, not because i hate sweating, but because i hated the after-feeling of me trying my best to catch my breath... I just didn't like the feeling coz i felt it sucked...

I prefer sweating myself in the gym instead, coz thats where i can run on the track mill @ my own time, own target.. I think, in the same way, i can also see results without having sooooooooo much of the sucky after-feeling i'll get, if i played under the sun... I'll be panting like hell, & who knows i might just die?? Heh...

He is more of a sociable person, while i'm more of a quiet person.. He talks to anybody & everybody, even those whom he sees for the first time - thats exactly how he attracted my attention back then, when he sent me a friendster message where we exchanged email addresses & started chatting on msn...

I felt that he was soooooooooooo loud & talkative, @ the same time special... There is just this special something about him that he had very good 人缘，& all my relatives were in disbelief that i actually found someone of such good calibre, when i first brought him to our reunion dinner last year, & this year, one of my 远方亲戚 even went to the extend of giving him a $30 angpow lor!!

And now, there is food.. He loved pork liver & i hated it to the max!! I didn't like that stinky smell, let alone having to put it into my mouth.. But, he felt it was delicious!!! And when he says something is very delicious & insist bringing me there to try out the food, i'll turn out to be really really disappointed many times, coz the food would be just so-so, or it just wasn't my taste.. HAHA!!

Come tomorrow, in a blink of an eye, we'll be celebrating our 21st Monniversary, & we're just about a stone throw (woah~~what a good illustration hor!!!) away from our 2nd anniversary, & undeniably, i'm looking forward to that big celebration...!! =D

Sky Dining again?? Better not!! Motion sickness being in that cable car!!! Heh!!

to hubby:

谢谢你爱我!!

Happy 21st Monniversary!!!

Now, one should understand why i was wondering why & how we managed to survive this long, my longest r/s thus far...

I thank God for you, Love!! =D

I seriously got no idea whats so wrong with me today... )=

I am feeling uber irritated for no apparent reason.. No one pissed me off, oh no.. there's this someone who loves pissing me off in the morning(s), but still managed to make me laugh off my chair with silly jokes!!

Hubby gave 2 Singapore Flyer tickets to Mum & Dad for their wedding anniversary which is tomorrow, since Mum has been bugging us that she wished to go up... So, we thought we shall just supply them with 2 tickets for them to go 浪漫一下, since Dad is not so into sky dining coz i think he thinks its expensive.. (actually i think so too)

On a sidenote:

Jes just dropped me an sms telling me that she swallowed a spider while having her fried rice yesterday!!! Its soooooooooooo gross can!!! How can a person know that there is a spider in her food & still swallowed it..?? But if she had not seen the spider, how did she managed to know she what she swallowed is a spider??!!! Gross right!!!!!!

Anyway, her sms did lighten up my day, & i guessed she did make me less irritated already.. =D Thanks Buddy!! Can i say we really 心有灵犀??
