T-shirt printing

We brought all the Xiong Dis and Jie Meis' t-shirts to Queensway for printing.

Waited for about 1.5hours before they are ready for collection, only to know that one of the Xiong Di's t-shirt got a little stain from the printing! They offered ti compensate a piece to us but Henry was insistent that it was not entirely their fault...

In the end, we were only charged for the printing of 19 t-shirts.

We went to NTUC Fairprice to buy a bleach pen and try on the stained t-shirt. It proved to be futile though we managed to remove a little.

IKEA

Dresses and jacket fitting for family - 23 April, Sat at 12pm
Trial make-up - 27 April, Wed at 7.15pm

Henry could not wait till 23 April to collect our photo album, table top photo and the 30 x 24 canvas portrait so we made an impromptu trip to di Gio. Pretty impressed with the final outcome of the photo album and the canvas portrait!

I believe the portrait is going to have a significant presence in our room!

Packed Henry's room in the afternoon and we certainly put our new vacuum cleaner to good use. A worthy investment indeed! I have also began to buy some daily necessities and park them in my new room.

We went to IKEA with my parents-in-law in the evening to check out the bed frame and curtains for our room. A failed attempt at buying the bed frame... my dream bed with the romantic curtain drapes on the metal stands surrounding the frame proved too unrealistic and unpractical for Henry.

MIL was nice enough to suggest that if I really wish to have the drape, my FIL can drill a loop in the ceiling for me to hang a similar one that is separated from our bed.

Ultimately, we need to deliberate if we getting a cheaper one or a higher quality one depending on whether we would want to move it into our own home a couple of years down the road.

But our IKEA trip was not fruitless after all, since we bought curtains for the room! This is my first attempt in purchasing such home items so I got the help from MIL and I managed to find one, which I hope it will blend in beautifully with the green wall of the room.

Oh yea, my 'Married' car plate has been delivered to my house today! Thanks to Daddy who had to stay at home to wait for the late courier.

Depressed.

Bad news - Yiqian called me this morning, she sounded weird over the phone and I could sense something was not right...

Her dad has been admitted into the ICU for a week since his operation. Right now, he is in a critical condition of which his breathing is being supported by an equipment and he will remain unconscious unless the life-supporting equipment is unplugged.

Doctor does not have high hopes.

She cried over the phone and was apologetic for not being able to be my emcee, Jie Mei and even attend my wedding.

I was not upset with her at all, I know she doesn't want this to happen either and she is in much agony than me.

I just have regrets that one of my best friends of 14 years is unable to be present on my big day...

We have to think of someone to assume the emcee role again. As for replacement of Jie Mei, I have asked Jasmine and Hui Han for help. I hate to make decision between the two of them hence, I told them to discuss among themselves and let me know who is going to be my Jie Mei.

Henry and I were wondering... why did history repeat itself from our ROM 1 year ago?

Hyundai Sonatas

We have started to make arrangement for the convoy of Comfort Hyundai Sonata cabs wih the help of Daddy. He has already informed the driver of cab number 2805, our wedding car, of the booking on 28 May but we are still in the talks for the price.

As for the other 4 cabs, I told Daddy to get his friends so that it will be easier to negotiate and we can also ensure that things are in better hands. :)

FIL advised that maybe we should try contacting the ComfortDelGro people directly to seek permission lest it involves branding/licensing issues and also to try our luck in getting sponsorship.

I emailed Tammy from the Corporate Communications Dept and am awaiting for their advice on the cost and arrangement.

Orro 22 from Poh Heng

Daddy came to IMM to meet me after work and we went to Poh Heng for jewellery shopping.

I showed the necklace which I like to Daddy but he told me to see if there are other designs to my liking. Apparently, he doesn't quite like it for some reasons.

So, I browsed and had my eyeballs on a few others. Each one has a higher price tags than the previous one! I don't wish to burst Daddy's budget but he was insistent on getting another dewsign.

In the end, I shortlisted one...


I thought this looks contemporary and nice as a necklace from Daddy for my wedding! But this cost $2,110.




This is my choice from the start - Orro 22 collection at $1,750.




I could not make up my mind and told Daddy to choose since he's paying for it. However, Daddy told me to disregard the cost and get one to my own liking. Eventually, we thought to seek Mommy's opinion so I MMS-ed both pictures.

This is Mommy's choice:






She thought this is more contemporary-looking and so I heeded her advice!

Purchase

Bought the 8 t-shirts from Giordano for the Xiong Dis and Henry's pair of white shoes at last!

Dowry

I went with Ah Ma and Mommy to a jewllery shop in the late afternoon to buy my dowry. Managed to choose the most contemporary-looking pieces from the range of traditional collection.

Mommy bought the ring for me and the 3-gold necklace is a gift from Ah Ma! There was another similar one with 2 white gold at the side and fortunately, I spotted this nicer one at the display window!

A closer look at the set. I have finally bought a more exaggerated ring much to my desire...

And here is the ring which Mommy bought for her son-in-law.
