Home Sweet

Yup, I have officially been staying at my new place with N for 2 months now.

Only our room is habitable, we have not cleared the other 2 rooms or the living area much as there are still some touch-ups, paintworks, drilling n all that needs to be done.

Kitchen is halfway up, started cookin already but not as much as I'd like to.

Washing machine n dryer are running on weekly basis, internet is up so we are able to play our FF game at our new place.

Housewarming will probably be held in 2009 after my big day. As my wedding banquet will be a family+close friends affair, my housewarming will be open to my colleagues & more friends, so I'd like to have them be able to see my wedding pics.

Honestly, I always fear that it is boring visiting my house as there is not much entertainment, PS3 is only for 2 players at any one time, then TV will be used if PS3 is being played.

I get images of friends sitting around n looking real bored... hmm how to entertain large groups of pple who come in for a housewarming.

I'd much prefer something more personal n cosier, like having small pockets of friends 5-6 come over at any one time, we cook together or I cook n then we can talk over a meal.

I'll have to get the dining area set up for such hosting that I always dreamed about.

Gotta go furniture hunting again real soon... but probably not this weekend if I can help it. Too much prep work needs to be done just before the photoshoot...

Gown & Photoshoot Update

By now, all my jie meis should have seen the gowns I've selected for my big day.

I will be having 3 sets of gowns, one white one (which I took darn long time to find), tea dress which I decided to settle for a modern-looking cheong sam (Loved the cheongsams in Lust, Caution, does help that the male lead is my fave actor :P ) & an evening gown.

I'll put up pics of my photoshoot n the big day when I get them. Until then, secret lies with my "Sisters".

Next Monday, 29th, will be my photoshoot day 1, I am having 2 days of photoshoot as my make-up artist can make it for a full day within Sept/Oct, due to the numerous weddings taking place.

Had a lot of things lined up my itinery to do before photoshoot.

- Haircut/Colour
- Eyebrows Trim & Tint
- Facial - DIY face mask like once in 2 days for the past 2 weeks.
- Sleep Well
- Eat fruits++ (those who know me will know that I am such a meat&carbo-lover, seldom factor in vege & fruits unless it is already served up with my main course)
- Drink lotsa water (also another bad habit, I am one dehydrated gal, surviving on 2 toilet visits per day, on the average)
- Whiten teeth (Already doing, its a homekit that I obtained from the dentist, who made a custom mould for my teeth)
- Keep nails (so i have the option of doing medi/pedi b4 the shoot)
- Get shirts for N
- Check weather for the day (weather so erratic these days, I've been testing the weather outlook for next 3-days on the website & it hardly hits the nail on the head)
- Get shoes


So much discipline goes into looking good... I can hardly fall asleep peacefully. I keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking of what I have not done.

ZZzzzzzz Tired but waiting for whitening timing to be up before washing up n retiring for the night~

We Shopped & Shopped

Here are pics of our wedding bands we bought.
We plan to get them engraved before the wedding, still thinking of meaningful things to engrave in the band.
We were told to give the shop 1 month's time to complete engraving services, just in case.

Its white gold/yellow gold. Looks normal from the display, but it looks nice on our fingers. Was hard to find something that looks nice on both our fingers as we did not like the idea of different design rings.


This is my engagement ring... love it, it's my first solitaire diamond :)
