Thank you!!!

I really take my hats of to both Hui Han and Jasmine for being so dedicated to their emcees job.

Really, really grateful to these 2 first-time emcees for all the efforts and time put into it. They met up for a rehearsal at Hui Han's on Tuesday night and Jasmine didn't go home until it was close to midnight, not forgetting that she still has work the following day.

Minor amendments were made to the introduction and yum seng portion which I thought was very appropriate. Hui Han posted quite a few questions to me regarding the program which I feel glad as I didn't even thought of them!

I told both of them I will put in equal efforts if not more, for their future weddings. Hui Han has already asked me to help her think of wacky ideas for her weddng nrext year!

Gowns and Suits collection

We have sheduled a final meet-up with Wen Qing from Fairmont to finalise the details on the banquet.

A final confirmation on the attendance, including no. of muslims, baby chairs and table with 11 chairs required. I didn't know previously that they have to charge us for an additional pax whom we included at the VIP table because the dishes will be portioned out so it's tricky to distribute the 10-pax food among 11 guests, especially the abalone dish.

Next, we collected our gowns, suits, Mommy and sisters' dresses, fathers' jackets, hair accesories, ect at di Gio. Made minor amendments on the gown measurements. Apparently, I have slimmed down slightly. HAHA.

We paid a $500 desposit and also collected the mini album which was left out in our package earlier on.

Here are the dresses and gowns!

The jackets fit nicely on both fathers but Mommy and sister Daisy's dresses could not even zipped up. Jasmine wanted to make minor amendments to her dress too, hence, we have to make another trip to di Gio on Friday.

In the evening, we went to OG Bugis with PIL and Anna Auntie to buy FIL's pants and MIL's shoes for the evening. I managed to find a pair of wedges with some blings for MIL and everyone thought it looks nice! We bought both items as gifts for them.

Beauty session

Sister and I went to Jurong Point for eyebrow trimming. Mommy came down from the shop a while later and spent $178 on eyebrow embroidery instead of a supposedly $10-trimming. -_-

After that, I rushed down to Chinatown where MIL was waiting for me to buy the gold bangle together. It was one we saw earlier that Henry doesn't like and this is meant as a gift for me during the tea ceremony.

The price of gold increased from $66.5 to $68 just within a day. The bangle which we bought cost a whooping $980! I feel bad for letting MIL spent so much...

New look at Edward's

Henry went to get a haircut and hair colouring at our stylist in preparation for our big day!

He had dyed his hair brown with some fringe highlighted in ash colour - something different from the past.

We have also bought 2 King Coil pillows for our bed and a air purifier to rid the dust in the room!

All Ready!

Spent the entire afternoon to do a last-minute packing and touch-up on our room! There was indeed a sense of fulfilment when the room smell fresh and flooring is free of dust!

We cleaned the dust-covered windows once again before hanging up the curtains from IKEA. Have also cleared the desk and cabinet of all the clutters and it certainly cleared one's mind as well.

Lastly, we did the final touch-up to our room by putting up the digital photo frame and our wedding photo on the shelve, and of course, not forgetting to set up the TV which Daddy gave to us!

In the evening, I went to purchase the bed frame with the family but without Henry. It was my first time spending time alone with his family. Luckily, it was not that bad after all. We managed to buy the nice bed frame with a brown head board at $330, a $20 discount from the orginal price! Delivery will be made next Wed morning.

Hougang Parkview

We made a trip to Toa Payoh HDB Hub today to take a look at the mock-up of our future home - Hougang Parkview!



There are 528 units of 4-room flats available!

Flats along Upper Serangoon Road.

The other side facing the canal. I like this area but Henry reminded that it will be a longer walk to the bus stop if we were to select this block.

We drove along Upper Serangoon last week during the site recce.

Our first choice - Blk 471A - facing Upper Serangoon Road.

The facilities and multi-storey carpark below.

Blk 471A is one of the 3 blocks that has 18 storeys. The other 2 blocks goes up to 19.

Floor plan of a 4-room unit.

This is how a 92sqm flat will look like!

We also dropped our HDB loan form at the HDB Hub!

Yeah!

Wedding Gifts

Sis is getting us a set of bed as a wedding gift to us!

I rejected saying that we have already bought it but she insisted on paying us the money.

Younger sis also asked me what I want as a wedding gift since she will be going to Europe next Sunday and will be heading to get LV for Mommy, Chanel for Sis and Gucci for herself. Bags are too expensive for her so if I were to buy, I will only get a wallet at most but there's nothing to my liking.

To be honest, I'm quite touched by their gestures. I really didn't expect any gifts from them :)

Oh, our Slumberland mattress has finally arrived last night!!! We got it cheaper than we thought - $260!

I just went to buy the bed frame with my PIL in the evening. Very satisfied with it and we were given a discount so we managed to get it at $330!

I managed to reduce my sis' damage to $590. Probably I can throw in 2 pillows too! Haha.
