A blissful sat, a productive sun..

Sat was blissful, I got to sleep till late...which is darn rare these days.
We only had to go round checking out bathroom accessories late in the afternoon, after which we proceeded to his cousin's place for her housewarming party.
On the way back to the west, WX started a lecture on Wedding Preparation 101 to his young cousin and her bf! 20mins or so into his lecture, I finally put a stop to it and told him "nicely" tat the young couple prob doesn't want to noe abt wedding preps yet and it's not a great idea to stress out the chap who looks fresh out of NS, thou he's a...bit...older than tat.
So that was a nice sat, kinda stress free for once and I think both of us had fun. We even managed to play some pool.

Sunday was great! Met our ID in the morning @ our place and went over the layout. Tiles shopping again at Balestier after that. I couldn't believe it. We actually picked our tiles 3 times, over 2 Sundays! It's a good thing both J & N are blessed with patience. Anyway, luff...the tiles i have picked for the MBR bathroom. Both me and WX are very excited with the end results.

Pop over to Harvey at J.P. and got our microwave oven (ya..kinda early but what the heck) and most imptly, we got the TV as well! Yeah!!! Can't wait! It's a cool babe..and I bet it's gonna look great on our wall.

We also......had a major pigged out session at Billy Bombers! Lots of meat....and lots of potatoe salad which we abs love.

argh.....

It has been 2 days after the photo shoot and I am still exhausted.
Not looking forward to this weekend. More chores to do.

the sunday where we were supposed to veg n stay pretty

I think "rest" no longer exists in our dictionary. We planned for sunday to be a R&R day, so that we will be rested and relaxed come this Wed when we have our photo shoot but it didn't turn out as planned.

We didn't meet our ID, nor checked out any funky fridge but we went scouting instead. It was fun in the begining, seeing parts of Singapore which we don't even know exist. There's a huge, huge chinese cemetry behind lornie road. It was eerie...it doesn't look like those in Lim Chu Kang, this one looks like its hidden from the rest of the world and forgotten. Small, dark roads, funny shapes in the distance. It gave me the spooks and I didn't sleep well last nite. Silly i noe..

We also went to Botanic Garden, the only good thing which happended there was my strawberry ice cream. It was hot and I was tired. The walk seems endless and we couldn't find what we were looking for.

By the time we got to mt faber, i was so exhausted that I wanna break down in tears. The washroom was under renovation and the car was parked like a mile away. The day didn't end there, we still had to make our way to Lot 1 to get WX's specs changed and made an appt for my mani n pedi on tues. I certainly dun look forward to the nail works, I have to sit for 1 1/2 hrs! I dun understand why other girls love facial n doing mani n pedi..I'll rather be abit uglier.

The facial!

ok, the facial was alrite. but at the end of 2 sessions, i firmly believe I am not the type who likes facial.
1. I do not have the patience to lie there for 1 1/2hrs, doing nothing. I get darn restless.
2. I hate the steamer. I just can't breathe with it blowing steam at my face for like wat? 15mins?it felt like forever.
3. I always feel like sneezing after she put on the mask for me. (read, only after).

Anyway it was funny, the Mr. freaked out when Q.S. wanted to trim his brows. Hahaha..actually, i prefer it wild and bushy..looks more manly. But Q.S. said no matter wat, the MUA will trim it for him on our PS, so it's better to have her do it. I took a few pics of him, but there's no way he'll let me live if I post it here.

So I was thinking, for the sake of the wedding, I'll make a trip back say, a mth before the big day. But...i was forced to go back a mth later! Q.S. wouldn't let me go, she said she'll even sms me a day b4 to remind me of the appt and she got weisiong to promise to send me there...she's one firm, fierce beautician. well, weesiong got off easy. looks like he doesn't have to go back for more sessions.

Wif Annabel & Irene @ Huichern & Eryk's wedding dinner.

to my husband to be

When are we going for our next holiday???

OMG! I can't believe I did that!

I actually email a photographer and told him his work is only so so but he's cheap!
"faint"

Kitchen

I wonder if it is still my territory. While we both understand that I will clearly be the one who will b cooking (cos the mr can only cook fried rice and eggs), I seem to have lost all say in the design. I guess it's good in a way, cos in future I'll have an excuse not to cook if I dun like the layout and design.

The Dragon.........

Ok, so we have decided and confirmed the venue for the 2nd banquet. It's gonna be Dragon Gate. WX's dad seems to b very taken with the place. I wonder why. Maybe its the name, Dragon. He's a dragon, his son is a dragon and so is my dad. Maybe he thinks its appropriate...hmm...
Well, the food is supposed to be good according to a friend who started drooling when he heard abt the venue and requested to be invited to the 2nd dinner instead of the 1st. Funny guy...who started "singing" my name for the rest of the nite after he found out my chinese name.

So we went down to view the place on a weekday nite. In a very typical chinese resturant style, the guy in charge brought us on a very short "tour" and started waving around, explaining how things would look like and thrust 2 pamphlets at us and said "that's the wedding package". It's amusing in a way, that people still run businesses like that.

In order to blend in with the decor, I think I will get myself a cheongsam, in red and maybe paint my lips in chilli red and do my hair up, in a chignon (think shanghai style). What do you think?
