granite tops

woah.. was at the lovenest last evening and v happy to see that the granite tops have been added to the kitchen! Now things look more polished and almost complete. They have even conceal up the gas pipes with the same wooden material. I'm really quite impressed with the details that David has done.

For u to 'feast' ur eyes...

David says the granite tops are supposed to be black with white dots, but it seems gray to us. But nvm, we can live with it. Only thing is the stoopid wall tiles that made the whole kitchen so BLEH... but what to do? No $ to change, so we live wif it as well..

Before we started work, we were still kind of worried if David is the right guy for us. But after having him working in our hse for the last 2 mths, Yupz... we made the right choice. He is not the kind tat will promise u everything, but can be sure, he can deliever what he promise. He's oso honest and reliable.

I think all these attributes of his are what made him to be recommended to us by our NFP trainer, S.

hm... our lovenest is really almost done, save for sme small items like the multiple fold door of the common toilet, the granite slab in the common toilet, the 2 pc of mirrors and the door in the master bed rm wardrobe, telephone pt in the hall, 1 mre light and last of all the shelving unit in the toilets and.. presto... We are set for the furniture to come in! =)

damn feedback!

I'm so pissed off!! My 1st job ov at the new dept is to analyse this stoopid huge file of numbers and try to make sense of the results!

Arg!!! Spent a few days trying to figure out what on earth is the whole thing and nw got to put it in a report! N I must must oso add that, these students!! Arggg!!!!!! I want to just throw it back at the stoopid students!

It's such a big file and I hv absoultey no idea how to put into a report.. Expect me to go n count physically?!

darn! darn! darn!!!!!!

bleh monday =(

Just because sme VVIP is coming, the whole campus is full of police n detectives and this morning, I got to be checked for my pass before I cam come in! What a way to start a morning and a MONDAY morning at that! Argg..

N the number of police, staff, n oso civillian police in campus... wah lau.. so many, makes me feel as though there is a bomb sme where in campus which is off to explode soon.. which brings me to the nt pt.. if just 1 VVIP needs so much security then what for host this visit? Rather waste of manpower and tax payers' $ isn't it? hai.. anyway they are here to stay for the whole day and I just hide in my office and ignore them.

Oh gosh.. I'm so tired.. ov the wk end was a zoom here zoom there kind of life..Sat we went to expo to look at furniture (but did not manage to get anything) then zoomed to Suntec to get SKII mask fm 1 of my friend, she selling me at $11 per pc.. v worth =) and then zoomed to Paradox.. but hai~~ wasted trup coz the shop closed at 8 pm and we reach there at 8.30 pm! Sucks.. so I still do not have my heels yet!

Sun.. was a bright n early day... went to CTK for the RCIA canteen, we sold Mee Siam... hm... Rebecca's cooking.. wow... too bad she reject the idea of setting up her own store.. other than tat, there was honey baked chicken wings, otah, chicken macroni, porridge, muffins, kueh kueh... too many to name.. n oso the usual soya bean.. yummy... ate too much though.. hahahaha but despite all the glorious food, I was still disciplined enough to stop eating 1 hr before mass starts... =)

After mass came dw, ate sme mre.. even little Clare's bday cake... well.. she's not tat little lar.. just turned 9... *Happy Birthday to U.. Happy born in the zooooo........* n then zoomed back to the main church for C's wedding rehearsal... S & I did up the pews.. fun but not easy to tighten... nw i know the decor is really not tat easy after all.. here's sme artwork.. nice?

*before anyone think tat i hv such clever & niffty fingers... i must clarify all the flowers n things done by S.. she's good isn't she.. my role was just to help tighten n fasten onto the pews* =P
throughout the time tat we were doing the decor, we were being entertainted wif angelic voices, choir team for the wedding.. I must say, all of them doing a good job! Sounds v good! Pray tat none of them loose their voices before Fri morning! hahahaha

Can c tat C is getting mre kan cheong and slightly stress but she's well organised too, gave us all our roles and things.. pretty clear of my role =D hm.. nw i'm abit concerned if I had offended her wif my questions of the AP's.. I really wanted to help her to distribute out her load so that she n Gab need not be concerned wif distributing AP's on their special day.. wonder if I sounded too pushy.. hai~~~ *bang head on wall*

Time really flies by soo fast... tis Fri will be her big day.. and 3 mths fm then my turn.. gosh...

Princess was sharing tat her preferred date is booked by another couple.. and even though if they want it in the afternoon, the sectary does not encourage and she may hv to push it back by at least a wk... can feel her disappointment.. not to mention... her choice priest may b gng for sme long course and not be able to officaiate for her... aiyoh.. tough luck... NVM, buck up princess, a better priest WILL come along!!

time to go hm..

*whew* finally it's ov. Finally it's the end of this week. Hv been feeling lousy and lazy for the past wk.. Don't know y.. in situations like this, the weather is the 1st to be blamed followed by the monthly womens' issue to be 'slaugthered' on the table.

Just super no mood.. mayb another reason is tat my dad want to invite my oldest auntie to our wedding? Hai~~ I hv no wish to c her.. my other aunties hinted to my mum if she comes, they all will siam her.. I don't blame them after wat happen at the wake of my granny.. Don't say them, I oso super no mood to c her! Gave my mum the ultimate decision last nite, if dad insists on getting her to come, then NO RELATIVES to my wedding, i rather not c any than to c her.

We had plans to go dw to furniture mall tml to select our furniture.. but hai~~ tat Leslie is having a show at Expo.. asked us to go there instead.. so far... hw ar.. shd go? shd not go? sian..

Let me run thru my plans for tml..
hv arrange to meet up wif Bashy @ Suntec to help her 'neg' for photos and oso buy the SKII mask.. she's only charging $12 per pc! Super good buy sia.. wished she had mre.. but she can only spare 10 sme mre me sharing wif Godma.. =(

need to go to Essex Walk (again?!) to collect my heels.. since tat tm till nw still havent taken it yet.

hm... tat shd be all for tml.. but don't want to stay out too late coz Sun is a Bright & Early & Long day.. with the Canteen at 7.30 am, mass at 11.30 am and C's wedding rehearsal at 1 pm... and my turn to mop floor tis wk end... *boo hoo* another wk of no rest.. hai~~

Nw the thing is, to go Expo or not to go Expo.. must plan our route...
Expo in Changi area, Essex Walk in Orchard, Suntec @ City hall.. hm....

mood-less

I NEED A CHANGE IN MY LIFE!!!!

ARG!!!! I feel so bored! I'm practically surfing the net the whole darn day, no work or rather so little work that I can drag my feet to do it I'm feeling so darn useless!

Even with the work, i don't feel like doing it. There's something wrong with me, I can't seem to buck up and work. Ifeel so lazy and it has been like this for a long time!

Now i don't hv mood to write too. ArgG!!!

lovenest reno coming to an end.... YipeE!!!

YippeE!!

the renovation for our lovenest is almost coming to an end! Was there last nite, and v happy to say that left with the granite top for the kitchen and the wardrobe in our bed room to be completed and Hooray!!!!! Tat's it!!!

V the happy... hahahahahaha

Just spoken to David and need him to add and to clarify some things. Been quite a good working experience. If my other friends need renovation, will recommend him. Just that, he abit the ah beng contractor / carpenter, wonder if my friends can accept him? Nvm lar.. tat's up to them to decide, they can always reject him if they don't like. But i oso quite scared to recommend him to the rest, coz he right at the begining tell me quite upfront that the person who recommended us to him oso not anyhow recommend wan.. so i take it as a big hint...

feeling v happy with the things that he has done for us.. let's look at pics.. since pics say a thousand words...

view of kitchen fm the hall and oso different views...
before reno


after THE reno

hm... looking at this nw, seems abit too open huh? Nvm, we will construct sme sort of partition nt tm... In the pipeline then, right, Darling?

Yoo Hoo... Darling.. WRU?

before reno


after THE reno


can u imagine our 2 mothers actually reprimanded me for tearing away the old tiled thingy.. I can't even think of a name for it! So obiang! My goodness. Luckily, we tore it away before the mothers came. If not definately
World War III!!!

before reno

tat black thing conceals the rubbish chute.. ugly thing isn't it... Yucks...

after THE reno


ta da.... my new kitchen cabinets.. looks good? Even the rubbish chute looks nice..in case u can't locate it.. it's tat squarish yellow thing at the corner. hahahaha.. Let's hope tat it lasts as long as it looks good!

not tat bad after all huh? V glad I tore away all the things despite our limited cash flow and negative comments fm hubby =P of course the kitchen is not done yet, have yet to add in the tap and the granite table top. David says nt wk then can add all these.. coz he's gng to China tis wk end to get supplies =( good & bad I guess.. we not rushing him so he can take his time to do a better job for us and we also can delay payment... hahahaha =D

Before I post sme photos of our bed rm... maybe we take a look at the altar that we had a brain wave zapped thru us and we in turn got David to do for us.. It's really a simple design.. but.. hm.. not bad! =)
pic taken before we had the altar constructed.. don't knw y hubby made me do such a funny pose =/

anyway, here's sme pics of our altar..

Altar is really just 3 planks of wood added on to tat huge pc of wall.. v proud to annouce tat it's MY idea.. but think it's not tat bad =) hubyy oso says nice =D *super proud* hahahahahahaha mental note..*must make it a habbit to pray daily* Crucufix is a gift fm David when he went to Phillpines a few weeks ago to visit his in laws (the crucufix is so new that it's still in the plastic! must bring to CTK for Fr Yim to bless before 'kai chang') =) my lousy camera can't capture the full glory of tis crucufix.. but.. for viewing pleasure.. ought to be enough?

Nw for our bed rm..
before reno


this bed frame is fm ceiling to floor.. n spells obiang in caps... O-B-I-A-N-G!! But we were told tat, 5-7 yrs ago, this design is v IN and it costs a bomb to construct! Anyway.. good bye..

after THE reno...
and say HELLO to our 'zen' bed frames.. which costs us a mini bomb... there's actually a 2 tone for the headboard.. but hm.. the colour which we chose blended in too well with each other, cannot c.. shd we repaint tat bit... get David to do it FOC?? hahahahahaha

the wardrobe b4 reno..
this is the best thing abt the hse.. i simply love the big wardrobes.. but hubby n David says not good... too GIANT for words.. so it has to go too.. Bye bye...


can't produce the newly constructed wardrobe yet coz short of the doors when I took a peep last nite.. will post it when they put it up.. David says tml, his guys will work on it.. so maybe nt wk I shd b able to post it.

Wow.. good news... don't have to wait till nt wk to take a glimse of my new wardrobes.. I hv it now!! Yippee... Was there yesterday evening (23 Jun, Thurs) and took a snapshot! Does it look good?! =P


the mre i look at it.. the mre i like our bed frame! There's another colour to the headboard, but it matches so well that it cannot be seen =( Oh well, needs 1 mre coat of pain on the head board, but this is a small thing, will be able to get it done tml hopefully or hm... shd we keep it as what it is nw.. save the trouble and $... =/ can't decide...

Hm.. quite happy wif our lovenest nw.. the mre I look at the photos, the mre it has the 'come stay in ME' feeling.. hahahahaha hm.. come to think of it.. sounds like the song... 'Everyday God' especially when '...come be with us'

Home Sweet Home~~

oh.. tell me a story..

Finally seen the pictures that was taken during the PS last nite. I won't say they are superp.. coz the models (hubby & me are not models) so sme of the pics are really bleh...

we were given sme shots fm the package but end up, we still choose mre n mre n mre.. and end up we are paying mre than $3K for the photos!!!! OMG!! I really have no idea wat came over us last nite as we were choosing.

The photographer, Kit showed us 'series' by 'series' each picture says a thousand words but try looking at the whole list of photos n all the words got lost in mid sentence.. I really cannot visualise anything till the lao ban liang came n string the same 'series' of photos together.. ah... nw i understand what it means by a 'series' tell a story.

We are pretty happy with the 'stories' being told. Though at this moment in time, it is still quite jumble.. try imagining listening to a story that starts in the middle with sme highlights in between and then to the ending and back to the begining and somewhere in the middle again. V lost huh? Tat's what's happening to me nw. I'm not sure if hubby caught the stories... he was so quiet last nite. Must be appalled at the number of pics that we chosen... poor guy.. he must be thinking of the amt of $$ that we are paying to support this once in a lifetime story book...

there are really sme interesting effects to this 'story book', personally i like the 1 tat has alot of empty space bet hubby n me.. quite artistic i feel.. though hubby keeps quiet, I can c tat he likes tat 'series' too coz he suggests it into the 3-in-1 photo frame.. well too bad tat 'series' comes in 4 shots... so got to choose something tat comes in 3 shots.

I'm not exactally feeling v guilty (or should I? hm...) I feel that since we don't have dinner nor are we really spending alot for the wedding (most of the $ goes to the hse) i feel we can spurge? But $3K is alot to spend on an album isn't it.. hai~~

trying to physo myself to feel guilty.... but.. nah... not working.... i'm happy to spend tat amt!! OMG!

Sharon... u really WU KE JUI YAO!!!!

not so good ending to an OK meeting..

We arrange for our parents to meet last Fri nite to discuss all the what nots for the wedding that both parents want to have. Overall, I think the meet up went quite well. Both sets of parents were so 'ke qi' to each other. My mother was the best, keeps on saying, we not sure, 1st time marry off a daughter, my IL's oso say the same thing, not sure and 'bu hui' 'bu hui' de... but wah lieu.. end up, my mother say the most things! And she sounds she has done alot of hn work!

What "Kuo Dai Li" must bring 24 cans on pig trotters, 2 pairs of candles, 2 bottles of liquour and AP. Then the AP she will return abit and for all those items that IL's are supposed to buy, do away with it but give AP to substitute. I listen till so blur and head big big! N here my mother say she "chin chai" and "don't know"? If she know then lagi worse lor?! OMG!! N the best part is she also select the date for the "Kuo Dai Li" already!! Then ask FIL to look c if tat day is ok and also if they hv any objection to the date.. i was so pai sey... my goodness..

Then the AD, must bring the blessed roasted pig which to symoblise my virginity.. so funny lor.. y represent my virginity wif a roasted pig? Don't know and don't understand lar, these customs of the chinese can really make someone laff till an ache in the side.

Then still got don't know what cakes and towels and a whole list of other things, nw as i think back, I think i forgot alot of things, I wonder if IL's can remember. I nw as i think back can only remember so much. But i think my mother made a mistake, everything oso chin chai and everything oso havent count and nv say the price out later if the IL's give too little, she sure go n tell the rest of the world, if give too much then later IL's oso may not be happy. Like tat chiam lor. I oso don't know wat to do. Anyway there is nothing i can do coz i oso stuck in the middle, and in situations like this, best to keep my mouth shut. Let the parents go n dicuss and come up with their own conclusion.

The thing that bothered me most is not this, this still hv time to settle but mre on the hse which i cant seem to settle, after the meeting, all of them decide to take a walk to our lovenest to take a peep. What a mistake, I wish i had stopped them but nw the damage is already done and i cannot do anything nw.

The moment they come in, all start to comment abt the kitchen.. hai~~ but to tell me to do it their way, i don't want, so obiang and also it is to do it in the same way that the previous owner has done. If tat is supposed to be the case, then what for we spend a bomb to hack it away and build new things?

Well... my MIL's face wasn't too good to look at fm her usual self. But we cannot do anything nw so we leave it as it is..

what a bad ending to the meeting session.. hai~~

it's Friday

wow.. been a wk since i last blog. Been feeling ups and downs for the past week... hai~~ again it's renovation, again it's wedding and yep! Again it's money, money , money.

Really really wish that we do not hv this kind of factor spoiling the otherwise exciting and full planning. Everything that we do or want to do is curtail by $.

And arguments with hubby had reached code red. Everyday sure hv somthing to argue about. Be it the flat or wedding or money or all of it. So sick of it. I'm tired having to argue wif him and I think he must be also tired of listening to me and argue with me as well.

Since last evening, the BS has called hubby telling him that our photos are ready for selection. We are supposed to call and make an appt to go down. Y do i feel such sadness and worried to this happy and exciting event? Hai~~ to choose 25 pc of the 100's that we had taken is no small thing. I also wished that we can have as many as we like but to be practical, the $ spent on photos can be put to better use, and even if we were to take mre photos, the album will also be kept in the drawer somewhere in the hse.. so the bottom line is that not necessary to get too many photos. But well.. me this vainpot of course want mre pics to capture the prettiest day of my life and also all the sun, the heat, the sweat and tirdness that overcame us after the PS on 2 Jun. Just thinking abt the PS makes me feel tired all over again... *whew*

must make a mental note to call my coordinator later to make this photo viewing appt, hm.. Monday after work shd be a good time. Might as well get it out of the way since we got to do it sooner or later.

Tonite, for the 1st time, hubby and me are gng to miss RCIA. Come to think about it, we have not missed any RCIA lessons before, coz we really want to go for the lessons and anther, we miss the coffee sessions wif the rest of our neophytes after the lessons. Tonite is the 1st time in 1 yr ++ that we are not in church on Friday evenings. Reason: well, my in laws and my parents are meeting to talk abt the wedding things. I seriously don't know what's gng to be discuss and what will happen during this eveing, but i sincerely pray that no matter what is the decision, the relationship bet the 2 families will not be strained and that with hubby's n my marriage, our 2 families can be united! Of course best if the parents will fork out the $ for watever that is being discussed instead of us having to pay for it as well.

This is only the 2nd time that both parents are meeting each other. The 1st time was during our ROM and the parents met each other. Tonite is the neg.. i really pray that all things work out well. My PIL's have mentioned that they would like to take a look at our new hse, so after the session, hubby will bring them there, mayb i will go too, bring my parents there as well, they have also yet to step in since the renovation started. Just hope that both sets of parents will respect what we have done so far and not tell us off for changing certain things nor to question as to y we pay what we paid. *keeping fingers cross*

Tis wk end is gonna be a bz wk end. Tml there is a sponsors and faith sharers meeting, 2.45 pm in church and we all hv to be there, so there goes my sat. And on sun, there's gng to be a fun fair to raise funds somewhere in town, thank goodness, Amy will come to pick us up, if not I will hv no idea where it is nor hw to get there. We got to reach by 9 am on a sunday.. i'm just thankful for transport.

Update abt my new dept... I had lunch wif the new colleagues a few days ago and they treated me to lunch. We already knew each other so it's not tat bad just treat the lunch mre like a social gathering. Not v comfortable with them yet but certainly hope to improve re-ships with them!

It's the end of the wk, goodness, and yet, i'm feeling as though it's Monday!! My goodness, wat's happening to me!?!?

Buck up, Sharon! Buck Up!!

Just need to vent my feelings and thoughts some where, at times it's really no point me telling my hubby wat's happening, he himself is bothered by the same things and we just wine and lament abt it together, instead of helping, it makes things worse! hai~~ and tat's not all, earlier tis morning was replying a formmer about somthing, i had typed a long and detailed reply when the stupid webpage decide to kick me out of it!! N I LOST ALL THOSE I TYPED!!!!! Soooo frausting... and just not in the mood to retype everything else. Blah.. wat a day to an end of a wk!!!

Monday blues.. wedding bells

Now that I learn hw to post photos / pics here, I cannot stop doing that and just can't stop blogging! Hahaha.. so fun.

The week end that just pass, was quite a relaxing one, (if you can call, walking around and around in IKEA relaxing)

Life resolves around hse renovation, money, more renovation, money,wedding, money, even more renovation, money and sme bit of parents. Gesh... so 'no life'! Frankly, I cannot wait for this period of hse renovation to come to a FULL STOP! Hm.. and judging from the way the renovation speed is going, I think soon will come to and end. Praise God.. then by that time my life resolves arnd wedding and money still... at least it's 1 down, 2 to go! *Yipee*

Was doing nothing much and happen to browse thru my hp pictures and realise that I had sme mre pictures to post! And here they are... Enjoyz...

Our bands sent and collected fm the shop. How long ago were we wearing this ring? Think we bought it in 1999 or was it in the yr 2000? Can't remember. After so many yrs of wearing and leaving it in the box since 2002, we of course sent it back for polishing before we wear it again - for ROM on 3 Dec 04.

A peep at our bands.. wow.. it has already been what.. 6 mths + since our ROM. Legally, we are married but in the eyes of God, not yet. N in my eyes of our parents, definately NOT YET. When was the last time, I actually took some time to admire our rings... *scratch head - can't remember*


Thank my lucky stars for friends fm church! We are saving a fair bit of decor for the church, thanks to C jie jie for donating us her unused 'real' flowers (another big thing to be thankful for, is that C jie jie is getting married 1st, 3mths before me, so i gained all experience fm her before i stress myself!)
S jie jie for doing the pews nicely & oso all the wrist corsages for my jie meis, Princess for helping me wif the layout for the card & wedding favour.. and I say, the list goes on and on! If I were to mention all the names here, I think tis blog won't end! Really got to say a super big THANK YOU to all of u, jie jie's and mei mei's out there!

Sounds alot of things are being done or seen to already. Left with nitty gritty that's to be settled. Think not that bad lar hor? If I get any more stress.. will go n shed buckets. After all women are made of tears.. hahahahaha

opps.. before I forget *finding red string to tie knot to my pinkie*, got some calls to make...
firstly.. for the shops to deliever the sink and the cooker hob tomorrow
secondly.. my monthly dosage of beauty treatment next week
thirdly.. remind David that the PUB guy is coming tomorrow afternoon and to sign for the sink and hob and to GIVE US A KEY to our new hse... got things for him to mount to the walls but no key!! ARRGGG...
fourthly.... Fr Yim's homework!!!!! EEeeKKKss!!! Tml is THE lesson...

Better go do nw.. ah.. cannot.. gng to meeting hubby lunch nw. Later then, later. Hope to get all things done by TOday!!!

wedding things...

Yipee!! I got it! I can stick pics now!! Hooray.. oh well.. nw that I got the hang of posting picture here.. must put mre, then my blog will be interesting!

1st to appear is my 'Wedding Invitation'! After so much heartache, headache.. finally.. finally tis is it!

Maybe, there are still sme mre modifications to it, but basically, the colour scheme, layout and design are fixed. =)

next on my list is my mini 'Thank You Card' to be attached to my equally mini wedding favours. God please forgive me, I killed so many trees in order to get this righ! The size, the print, the layout.. *whew* Who needs this template, holler me, I can save u sme headache n hopefully preserve sme trees too!



Following this, take some time to admire my 'blink blink' wedding heels... my 1st pair of branded heels.. fm Paradox.. costs me a whopping $280! Still cannot believe that I actually spent this kind of $$ on a pair of shoes... oh well $ spent is spent... just let me enjoy my new heels..



Lastly, myself after being dolled up and waiting for my photoshoot to start in BC. Am I looking good? *vain pot* Hm.. short of a pic of hubby.. shd go n dig out frm some where.



let's c... a pic of my hubby-to-be! Handsome young man huh?! hahahah



woah!! I'm so happy! Finally got everything loaded up! And, today is FRIDAY..

TGIF!! Opps... left my mass booklet.. time to get started, girlie! *must get started! must get started!*

Postnote: Last nite was fun, we had choir practise at K Gor Gor's hse. Went thru the hymns for C jie jie's wedding. Thankfully, me, this tone deaf person nt invloved. I went there to 'kar chiow' only, had a good time playing wif young G though. Woah.. active and naughty boy! Just like D's son - J! N come to think of it, the 2 boys, their names are so similiar n oso same behaviour, so active n mischevious! *Mental note again.. don't call names with ending wif "-ren"?* Hahahahaha

parents' meetin?!

Oh no.. oh no..

just last nite, hubby reminded me that his parents are coming to my parents plc nt Fri to discuss the wedding things.

Don't know what's gng to be discuss. Hopefully nothing too expensive since everything is gng to come out of hubby's n my pockets again. Is it necessary to have tis 'meeting'?

Hubby says i'm getting too kan cheong, maybe he is right, but hw not to be right?! Oh no..

N worse of all, nt wk for RCIA, there's only left with S to take care of all the admin things. V & M gone on holiday, of the 4 of us, left S, i feel kinda bad to leave her alone. I know the rest of the ppl will do a good job and will manage, just that I feel, as part of the admin team, since 2 members are away, S and myself shd scheduled all our personal appts to a later date.

But the date is proposed by my IL's, w/o a valid reason, shd not change right?

N this brings me to another thing, nt Fri is Cin's bday! Aw.. cannot celebrate with her.. hm.. in the 1st plc, will she b coming for class? *scratch head*

1 mre try

okie.. here goes nothing.. after the tip fm Princess L, i'll give it 1 mre try to post pic.

If all things work, shd c a pic of my cute hamy - Du Du!! But... Du Du is now wif God.

wedding card

whew.. after so many trials and error, i'm proud to finally annouce that we have our prototype out and ready!

On our 1st design (which still is the best design, I feel) it did not pass requirements coz the paper was too flimsy. But overall design and colour scheme match v well.

Our current design, we change the paper, but unfortunely, we are not able to get back the same shade of pink! So let down.. =( But it feel more like a card, according to hubby and he is happy with it.

BUT! the middle strip of paper that we wanted, cannot match the colour, so we have decided to ditch it away as well as to change a ribbon colour to something else. Spent quite some time in the shop in AMK just mixing and matching ribbons.. Spent even mre time in book shops getting the paper!

If only i cld post my card pics here! Darn.. I just cannot do it, coz of the firewall! Argg....

At least we settle the cards.. 1 big load off my mind. Got to call the book shop to make sure they ordered the paper for me.. hai~~ they do things soo slowly..

My thank you cards have all been done ages ago, just need to cfm the qty of the jars that we are getting and then we can start tying the cards to the jars.. I heard that tying ribbons not easy.. got to start doing asap then. But cannot till i know how many to buy! N that means, i can only start buying after my guests hv RSVP-ed.

Left with the mass booklet now. Thanks to C, I finally know how to print my mass orders into a booklet! N agai, thanks to L, i hv a good idea of hw the front gonn's be like. She was so swt, did a mock up for me. Only thing now is to find a pic. Opps... did i say only thing...Gosh.. need to find a picture to put in the front, yar, yar, I know a lot of ppl put their own pictures, but to be honest, hw many ppl actually keep the mass booklet?! I wld b so disappointed to c my hubby and my face on the floor, being trampled on or worse in 'Mr Bin'! To play save, there's not gng to b any pictures of hubby n me on our cards nor mass booklet!

Hm... what kind of picture to put in?? Precious moment? Those pics i soucre fm the net are too small, and the high res don't hv the pic that i want. Stray sheep? Not nice, went thru yest. Sunset? Hm... The possibilities are endless but yet no idea to start looking.. n I HATE to surf net for pics. There's so many and it takes soooo long just to search for tat ideal pic. Mayb it's tm for me to take a break n hubby's turn to find that PERFECT picture to be on our mass booklet?! hahaha.. nw.. tat's a v v good idea..

Yoo Hoo.... Darling... got a teeny weeny favour to ask..

oh no..

Oh no... what silly mistakes to make!!

Early this morning, as I came into office and log on to my hotmail acc, realise C sent me somthing, and in it she told me that I hv been spelling her name wrong all this while! What an embrassment! Should be 'L' before 'O' and not the other way round. She says she don't mind it, but.. if it's me I'm sure wont be too happy with this mistake.

Read thru E's blog and surprise that there's such rude replies in her blogger. I thought this is free expression of speech?! Sme ppl are just so rude! N i almost wanted to write rudely back as well and luckily, stopped myself in time, if not.. goodness, war ov this Blog? Can't imagine.

Hai~ feeling slightly let down. The inqurier that I am supposed to be praying for, KY, she dropped out of RCIA, means I need not be Saint Rita anymore. I was so happy last night, when hubby told me that he thinks my inquirer is fm his co, coz of her unique name.. n nw, she will come for class nt yr wif her hubby.. feeling let down.

Nvm, will continue to pray for her then.

what a sat...

what a way to spend Saturday... sesh..

morning woke up, ate brunch watch a bit of TV and then it's hard work... change all the bed sheets at hm n all the cushion covers... din realise it cld b so tiring.. followed up vaccumming the hse.. so tired after this little chore! Hai~~

took a short nap and then off to CTK for mass. Went to Paradox to get my sexy heels (which i still can't post the pics on tis blogger.. darn!) but still din manage to get coz, 1 of the crystals was not mounted properly, so the sales lady told me she will send it back to be mounted. So means i can't collect the heels today but hv to go back another time to get it. Not tat I mind, just that got to make another trip down is slightly getting me down lar. But I must say tis Paradox has good after sales services. Even Chole's heels which she bought so many months ago, the sales lady is still willing to service her FOC! Tat's what I call GOOD SERVICE! But then again, for the $$ tat we fork out for our heels, service is kind of expected lor..

had dinner at Burger Kings.. it was so packed... needless to say... It's SATURDAY!!! Had to queue so long to get food... n we just stayed there to talk abt RCIA and chat... been such a long time since hubby n me sat dw to chit chat.. missing those moments..

nowadays.. whenever we talked, it's about hse or wedding... so sick of tis topics.. at least today we digress fm the normal topics... n we chatted like friends n the way we used to! It kind of like so difficult to chat normally and not get into fights or arguments ov the hse or wedding.. hai..

but i know it's my fault, i've been doing alot of jumping myself, 'jumping to conclusions' does not help tat hubby cannot express himself clearly n i get so pek chek trying to figure wat he's trying to say n i loose my temper!

I think this is just the beginning... really got to keep my temper in ctrl if not i'm not surprised if we both do something tat will really hurt each other. Think it's time to dig out those MPC notes again.

nw tat i'm doing tis bit of things, i'm already beat... wat abt doing every SINGLE thing myself when we shift into our lovenest??! OMG!!! Tis hse hold chore issue really frightens me. Got to sit dw wif hubby to work something out..

Definately, i don't want to wash toilet.

wash clothes is the job of the blessed washing machine, cooking wise.... go my mum's hse to eat.. so can no need to do..

Last nite, we just cfm tat both our parents will meet up on 17 Jun. Hm... tested waters last nite, asked my mother wat she will be asking for, she says she's not sure and she has not thought abt it... need to ask another auntie... i hope she dont ask for too much things.. coz no matter wat she asked, it's fm me n hubby to her n those things or $ cld b put to better use..

Actually, kind of dreadint it.. dont know wat's gonna happen n no matter what, just pray tat it will not strain realationships... hai~~ n coz of this meeting, i got to find some1 to cover the admin duties for RCIA... coz V & M has gone on holidays n S is on night shift.. got to trouble another person not in admin to do it.. feeling kinda bad about it!

Every1 tells me it's ok but i feel it's my duty leh... chiam lar..

darn... hw to add pics..

gosh.. so irriating.. hv been trying n trying.. hw to add the pics in this thing!!!?

update

Gee... i'm feeling so tired! Had a long long day yesterday. Went for the much awaited photoshoot for the wedding and boy was it a long day!

We had fun of course, dolling up, looking pretty, posing and smiling for the 1st few hours we had fun but goodness as the time drags... gosh.. our smiles became so fake n stale n we cannot smile anymore but endure we have to and endure did we!

MUA is professional, change outfits, will change hair accessories and make up. Up dw the studio we go n in out in out of the changing rm we went too..

Overall, I must say that no hiccups lar, except for the previous night when my silly hubby argue wif me ov the colours of the hse, i also manage to do my nails go to CTK for NFP. Din have such great news fm NFP but well Shirley told me to monitor to c if there's any changes to my cycle if not then i need to c doc. But well, anything's possible - including stress and boredom at work, will maintain my cycle and see how it goes before I get all flustered up and go see the doc now.

But this photoshoot experience is really 1 that I do not wish to repeat. I nv knew that it can be so tiring, after the shoot, we were so tired and after dinner, i just felt like gng hm to zzzzzZZ.. but no such luck, our contractor called us and we had to meet him last nite, yes, LAST NITE, after our PS.. OMG!!

No choice coz he's leaving for Phillipines today for at least 1 week, so if we do not meet him now, we won't get so much chance, so we drag our worn out bodies to meet him. Settled more things and we headed for home. He said i look 'womanly' (of course, I look like 1, I AM ONE!! but he said tat coz of the goo on my face n i was in a dress)

Finally reached my home swt home, got hubby to removed the goo on his face and sent him packing to his hm with a mask for the night - not sure if he did use it last nite though.. later must ask him.

Though was so tired but i still pampered my face, did a mask n fell asleep, tis tells u hw tiring to b in tat photoshoot!

Tonite, another long day. Having RCIA tis evening, Debra just gave me a new role for RCIA as well, nw i'm gng to b a guardian angel for 1 of the inqueriers... Call me St Rita, St Rita of Cascia!

feelings unchecked...

tml is my photoshoot.. i think all couples will be happily thinking and planning of wat to pose hw to pose where to pose and oso wat to do? then y am i feeling the way i am feeling rite nw?

better run thru my list of things..
facial... checked
nails... checked
clothes to wear there... checked
shoes... checked
hair... checked
beauty slp? soon to be checked!
seems like all there are is there to b ready i hv done it... only thing left uncheked is my feelings... y do we hv to argue just before the PS tml? N hv to argue abt the hse?! I'm already so sick of the hse n things n we hv to argue ov it!!! I totally hv no mood for the PS nw... feel like calling it off!

These few days whenever there is anything abt the hse, it is cfm money, money and mre money! If not to pay the contractor, it is to pay for things, or the bills. I feel like shouting to the whole world tat i'm made of money?!!!

My hubby got to make me upset ov what? The paint of our bedroom! After the NFP in CTK we were gng out of the church and hubby called David. Owing to whatever reasons, David needs us to cfm the colours we would like for our bedroom. Seems like a small issue right? Thing is cfm by tonite! Best is, we don't hv the paint catalogue wif us, hw to cfm? My hubby told me, he will go n look at the catalogue tonite and cfm! So where does tat leave me? Now i dont even get to choose the colours on my bed room wall?! What logic is that?!?!?!?!?!

lousy service!!

OMG!!! I can't believe these ppl! I'm scheduled to do my nails later this evenging after work, 6.30pm at Bishan, J8. Was wondering y on earth no 1 called to cfm or remind and thank goodness i hv the cow sense to call up n make sure that they recorded my name there! N guess what?! They told me, no, I'm not in!!!

What??!! I cannot afford to not do my nails by this evening and i only have 6.30 time slot free coz need to go to CTK for NFP after that. I don't care they by hook or by crook got to do it for me!!

So pissed! What lousy services!!!
