its dRaWinG near....

suddenly different ones have been asking me "hows ur wedding prep comin along??" "all done & prepared?" well, my answer is still "ehh... ok lah... still tryin to get things done..." there's simply too much details to look into.... esp, when u have a church wedding & dinner... its crazy, so much stuff.... juz abt a mth back, i was realli nervous.... coz tat time, there was realli alot of things not done.... & they are like big ticket items... so juz within a mth, we got our invitation cards for both church & dinner, caterer for church, wine for dinner, bedding stuff, honeymoon confirmed... so now we're left the loose details to tie up.... like gettin ang bao box for church, wrist corsages for my entourage, confirm the namelist & start writing & sending out the invitation cards &..... uhmm wat else?? so many more..... till i cant rem.... hahhaa....

wedding is always the 1st time for e'one (else, most of us)... & there're so many things u might overlook.... so i realli thank God for the frens around.... ever so willing to help, volunteer their service & remind us of the different things!!!

okiez, now the most up & coming event is our Guo Da Li on Mar 1, 2008... keep a look out of the latest updates yah!!!

i've realli nt been updating my blog for quite awhile man.... bz?? uhmm... ok la... still manageable... prob coz haf been too lazy to log on the comp after work... its like after a long day at work facing e comp... so juz wanna laze at home... hehehee....

but e yr seems realli short... haf been bz adjusting to my new work plc for the past 7mths... & doin some preparations for my wedding recently... coz its like realli drawing near... geez.... still couldnt get our own hse tho... but thank God for the rent-free plc which my cousin had offered... so at least we dun ned to get tentage yah...

2day is exactly 3mths fr our wedding date.... was wanting to register online for our wedding date, but no printer & dun haf our solemniser's licence no... alamak rite.... so prob gotta do it on another day...

tis mth managed to mit up wif different ones... vivi, sam & ling late last mth... jesx, b4 her trip... wif hj, lori, steph & alex b4 christmas to haf our little christmas pinic... ling & qi juz now... i suppose, as u grow a little nt so young, u'll realli like to rest more... & appreciate mtg up wif the different frens to do some catching up.... realli wanna thank God for all these frens... of coz there're a whole lot more... will slowly mention.... dun worry... geez.....

Well... it diDnt JuZ sToPPed tHeRe...

my 40 photos didnt juz stopped there... coz there werent any photos for our kua.... i felt alittle wasted... so e nx day i called my bridal studio up... to tell dem i wanna add a few more pics... pin & i had discussed.. both of us knew in our hearts the max no. photos we wanna add... & tats 4.... we could nego for lower price unless we add at least 10pics... in end we selected 5 extras... & we wanna remove 1 fr the 40.... but they say cant coz e colour were adjusted... uhmm still dun quite understd e logic tho... anyway i insisted tat i dun wan... in e end, they say will include tat for free... kept to our target still... realli thank God tat we could withstand e temptation all the seemingly fantastic deals to add more & more photos....

600plus... down to onli 40... its SeRioUsLY not eAsY...

We reached abt 230pm... stayed till abt 730... oooo.... tats like abt 5hrs... hahhaa.... yest, pin & myself, tgt wif bibi, ew & jesx was at our bridal studio lookin & lookin thru the 600 odd photos... pin & i took like an hr to go thru 1 round of all e pics... its realli not an easy task to choose onli 40 out of the many pics.... we gotta b hard & firm... we were pretty stringent even during our 1st cut... down to 200 odds pics... den the 2nd cut to abt 100 odd... thanx to u guys... who were so hard on us.... the last cut to 40 was the toughest & the most painful... there were many pics which i like but juz gotta gif it up.... tho pin did suggest toppin up... we did it.... & kept to 40.... so glad yet sad... on my way home, i was feeling sad... images of our pics kept flashing in my mind... well, to pay for more pics or to keep to the number of pics we haf... it's realli up to how u look at it...

thanks pin for being so sweet!!!

CouNt Ur BLESSINGS.. 1..2...3...4...5....6....7......

NO GOVT in office 2day... geez... had a slightly longer lunch... met vivi & jon for lunch... jon casually asked abt our hse after wedding... my reply as usual & to all... i've gt no home... the simple qn had once again stirred up some tots within me again... tinkin of all e blessings tat my frens ard me haf.... i began to tink y are e'one so blessed... n wat abt josh & i??? vivi reminded me to count my blessings... & tat my greatest blessing is having josh... which is TRUE!!!

many times, we onli focus on our worries, troubles, difficulties, adversities.... & begin to question y is life so unfair... where is God when we needed Him... there are oso many times we were blessed in big or small ways... & many times we overlooked tat.. took tat for granted.... didnt even thank Him....

PS & DiNNeR @ TraDeRs HoteL

FiNaLLY the much awaited day came... pin & i had been doin our little shopping to prepare for our yesterday's photo-shoot... more for him.. coz my gowns are all fr the bridal studio... so pin had a little more headache... geez... gotta see if the shirt matches my gowns... the ties matches the shirt... if shd or shd nt wear tie... blah blah... see, its nt as easy ya... as part of our preparation, i had my hair dyed & my final fitting last sun (28/10) & pin had his hair trimmed too....

i had abt 2hrs of make-up & hair-do for the 1st style... initially, we were both alittle stiff... hahhaa... but slowly it kinda got better & we're more relaxed.... the weather was fine till abt 3pm.. when we're abt to go for our outdoor shoot.... it started drizzling... i was so sad... they said probably gotta change another day... coz the sky is too gloomy & photos wouldnt turn out well... since, we had arranged wif ben & jerry & its indoor, we went ahead.... the weather became better.. so we went to marina south.... but on our way to east coast, it started drizzling.... it stopped after awhile tho.... it was pretty fun.... i didnt feel too tired thru'out the shoot except for my eyes... my eye-lids felt so heavy... after the entire shoot, i suddenly felt soo hungry & my legs were so tired.... poor pin was veri tired too... the worst thing was he had to carry me... whahahaa....

oh, i muz realli gif a BIG thanks for bibi... for being wif me for our final fit & photo-shoot...

pin & i finally had our dinner treat @ traders hotel Ah Hoi's kitchen.... i had purposely arranged it to be after our photo-shoot to kinda celebrate... hehheee... uhmm, its a long story how we got tis treat... oh & it was suppose to be at cafebiz instead... in any case, thank God for it... we had our fill... we kinda calculated & our dinner amounted to abt 150bucks.... wow!!! but it was seriously veri difficult to choose wat to eat coz e'thing are soo expensive... geez... here's some pics....

feLt so CLEAN... yEt was so xPosEd...

remembered slightly more den a month ago, i signed up a package?? went for my 1st body scrub... did the seaweed detox... pretty relaxing... & feeling sooo smooth now... but... arrhhh... yet i felt so exposed & naked juz now... heheheee..... in any case, was a good experience...

God's blessing...

When u ask, God surely hears.... however, u may nt see immediate answers.... coz He has his time... a few mths back, i prayed for financial blessing.... it onli came tis mth... nothing much abt the amt... more of happy & excited over seeing God's faithfulness... even little things like gettin a pair of shorts... not onli did i managed to use a voucher, managed to even take advantage of the store wide sales too.... so ended up payin even lower den wat i expected....

Our CRY: Church & Housing

bOdY & WeLLnEsS

last wk, jesx told me tat there's tis package... 6 sessions of massages with body scrub... i checked wif db & vivi the price... seems like its pretty reasonable... so we arranged to get down 2day to chk out the package.... who noes... e lady said the offer was over.... recommeded us another package.... more sessions wif flexibility of doing watever treatments... & use of the facilities... plus there's 0% interest instalment... i was nt interested at all... tho it seemingly looks quite attractive.... coz i wanna be focused & nt fall into such 'seeminly looks fantastic' deals.... dun wanna b an easy sales target.... hehehee.... claps claps.... to cut the long story short... we ended up getting 6 sessions of massage & body scrub (3 each) for the earlier price which we're comfortable.... e package allows us to choose any types of massage & body scrub too.... tis my 1st time takin up such packages.... pampering myself.... geez..

jesx, dun tink so much liao... u may b tinkin tat u're nt e one gettin married... y on earth, spend such $$... nvm, juz go ahead & enjoy all the 6 sessions...
