update on renovation

Haven been updating all on my reno status. Since I couldn't go down to my new flat during weekdays, the only day that I can go check it out is on Sunday. Now, I've been doing checks on my reno dutifully every Sunday. Below are some pictures on some areas of the house, as seen on 29th July.


















On top of all these changes, no pics for the below :

(1) My WIW is already done in my Master Bedroom.

(2) Platform for my bed and cozy area is up in my Master Bedroom.

(3) Bedside tables done, in the WRONG colour.

(4) Walls of Bedroom 3 painted.




Remaining stuffs yet to be done :

(1) Study table (according to co-designer, it is already in the making)

(2) TV console and featured wall

(3) Dining table and benches

(4) Featured wall cum shoe cabinet

(5) Headboard in Master Bedroom




Scheduled handover is on 18th August but he say he will try to complete by 12th August. I really hope he does because the lunar july month starts on 13th August! Anyway, we will "move in" on 11th August. We plan to dabao lunch, buy charcoal, rice, oil and salt, and kettle to boil water...to signify the "moving in". Anybody wanna come kaypoh? *smile*

Poor Hubby

Hubby went for a minor operation that day on his in-grown toe. He had been infected weeks ago, but only got around to seeing a doc after our ROM. The doc cut opened the infected area and half of his toenail. *squirm* Luckily, there were no pains as reported by hubby as the doc was professional in administering the local anesthetic. Still he had to rest for the whole week.

WEDDINGS

Came across a heritage exhibition in Parco Bugis yesterday. The topic is on weddings, I guess, as there were stalls which were set up by bridal boutiques and also jewelers. The highlight was this tallest wedding cake done by Intercontinental Hotel.

That's Ken and Barbie right at the top tier.

The deets are as follows:

I think the nicest part is this. There are write-ups and presentation with figurines on the actual scene of weddings of the 4 different races in Singapore.

Beautiful?

On Marriage

An excerpt from an article on TODAY.

Do you agree? I do.

last day of singlehood

Yes, tomorrow is THE day and today is my LAST day of single life. Went to pamper myself a bit, doing mani and pedi, then met qing for some window shopping. Still, I'm not feeling nervous. Had a great lunch at Bakerzin, and yummy dessert at Canele. Met future hubby at AMK for dinner. I know, i know, we are not suppose to meet on the day before, but to us, it just doesn't feel like the actual day, even though it is the official one. *laughs* Anyway, I went home and I had a BIG SURPRISE!! *wide grin* Got a basket of lilies together with some Crabtree & Evelyn lotion and bath foam from NOWELLI!! I'm so happy! She couldn't make it tomorrow so she said she made it up with the flowers. So sweet. Thanks girl! *smile*

is it real?

counting down to 2 more days...

juz received a call from my best fren, seems like she is more excited and nervous than me. i dunno y, but i do not feel nervous at all. i guess i'm still at the disbelief stage. she say she will call and check on my emotions the day before the BIG day. i guess its true to some extent that subconciously, i consider my BIG day to be the customary one in nov and not the one which is upcoming and thus, i'm not all flustered about it yet.

i wonder how he feels...

I don't believe it!

I swear the whole world is getting married! We went for our appointment at the ROM for verification of our documents. The timeslot given was 830am - 930am. We managed to reach around 845am. And guess what?! Our queue no. was 62! There were SO many couples there and apparently some of them have already left. GOSH! Are there really SO many people getting married? I wonder if there is only 1 day per week allocated for couples to go and do the verification or is it like that everyday? If it is like that everyday, the government should not be worried that Singaporeans are not getting married and having babies. But then again, having babies is another topic, which I shan't go into it here.

We didn't wait very long. When it was our turn, our documents were verified and on the spot, we get to see our Certificate of Marriage. It was all printed out nicely and all we have to do was to check. I thought that was all, but no, we need to sign another form stating that we are conscending adults, above 21 yrs of age, have not been married previously, blah blah..AND before signing the form, we have to take turns to raise our right hand and read out loud. It was funny in the sense that there were many, let's call them, adminstrators, and each couple was "assigned" to one. So everyone was standing at the counter, raising their right hand and reading out loud. *laughs* Luckily I managed to read through the whole "passage" without laughing. We left with our Certificate of Marriage which we are supposed to bring on our day of solemnisation.

4 more days.......

belated updates

I have not been updating for quite some time. Is it because of the GSS? Nah, we DID shop but not on my clothes, haha, more on the stuffs that we need for our new house. Last update was the WC that we bought. Well, we have bought more, let me just list them out here.

1) Went back to Royal Fanco to buy the rest of the toilet accessories, like the towel bar, toilet paper holder, etc.

2) Bought a Blanco granite sink and tap from Hoe Kee.

3) On the very last day of the month of June (yes, just before the start of 2% GST), we bought a Simmons mattress from this shop in Toa Payoh which was highly recommended in the forum. Manage to negotiate for 2 more Simmons pillows on top of the 2 that were given originally. *grins*

I can't remember what else we bought, that should be all. At the same time, he bought a few shirts for our photoshoot and I bought my heels for ROM. I loved my heels and its ex! Hope I can walk properly.
