Photobucket

Was very tempted to get this cabinet after seeing Jueline got for her gals. Happened to window shop at Bugis Seiyu's toys department and saw they are selling re-ment stuffs and decided to get it. Hubby shake his head when he came to know the price for this miniature cabinet. Haha.

sneak preview

Last night, the designer emailed us the 1st draft layout of our pre-wedding photo album for our comments. I personally like the one below best.

This set of photos were taken inside the bridal suite of Amara Hotel where we are holding our wedding banquet. I like the combination of the photos and it give me a very cozy feeling, making us look very natural.

Basically the layout of most of the pages are ok except that we do not want to have any wordings on the background or any effects on the pics inserts. The designer had forgotten to email us 2 pages of the photos. No wonder when we are counting the total nos of photos for all the pages it does not add up to 60.

Hopefully we do not have to make too much changes to the 2nd draft so that we can get our album earlier. If not the coordinator say they will only be ready 2 weeks before our wedding.

Woohoo!

I got good news to share! Wanted to blog about this great news on Monday but was too tied down with work to do so.

Well the great news is hubby and I finally got OUR FLAT! It is a resale 5rm point blk unit in AMK, 14th floor. Though it is not near the central/mrt, must take feeder bus, but we felt very comfortable in the flat the moment we step in.

Actually we viewed the flat last Saturday evening and also made an offer. However, the owner wanted something higher. Therefore we went for a 2nd viewing the next day and negotiate the price on the spot. After a few rounds of negotiation, tata... the deal is sealed. *smiling from ear to ear*

I am both happy and sad about getting a flat. Happy is because after 1 and half years of searching we finally got a flat which we like and within our budget. Sad is because we need to part with a big chunk of our savings for the Cash Over Valuation and our agent's fee. Will need to save more for the upcoming renovation, so no more shopping for me. Sob Sob!

In the meantime we will concentrate on our wedding preparations and after the wedding then we will start worrying about the flat renovations.

10,000 BC

Watch 10,000 BC on Sat. Quite a nice and interesting show. Now then I know the natives started to speak English so long long time ago. Not the whole lot, only this particular tribe that lived in the snow mountains. Haha.

There are some funny moments but the most classic one is when D'Leh spoke to the Saber tooth tiger "I save you, you don't eat me". Haha! It seems very idiotic and coward to say such words. Haha!

update

Wow this weekend had been very fulfilling. Manage to settle quite a number of stuffs and also a pleasant surprise came through the mail. There is a recap of the events.

Friday - 7th March

Was on leave as I need to go for my annual check up and in the afternoon, met my carpenter at Harley Norman Millienia Walk to show her what is the design I like for my bed frame. Going to to get her to custom made my wedding bed for me and she quoted me a very attractive price. Hehe!

Then I went to Isetan Wisma to get Paul & Joe products as they are launching their spring sweetie collection. I got myself the protective dual powder foundation and the candy sprinkles face colour. I like!

Later in the evening, hubby and me went to select our bridal photos. In our package we only have 30 photos and we have to choose out from 300 pieces! In the end, after rounds of elimination we ended up with 60 pieces. So now we are $2k poorer. Haha!

Sat - 8th March

In view of me moving out of my present flat to living with hubby and in-laws, I decide to get myself a new laptop. After looking around, we shortlisted Asus and Toshiba and in the end we got Toshiba as it is a more reliable brand.

Yeah I got a new toy! and is white colour. Hehe!

Sun - 9th March

Something came through the mail today! Is from Sandy, she mailed me medicine for my blocked nose. So sweet of her! I was chatting with her on msn and randomly asked her about the remedy for constant blocked nose and she recommend this medicine. She asked for my home address and I was wondering what she is going to send to me. Haha! Taks gal!
