Busy Sunday

Yesterday's schedules were back-to-back but glad that we fufilled all the tasks as listed.

1st stop to BS for my dad to try out his coat...Went all the way to Tanjong Pagar and it took less than 5 mins...

2nd stop to Beauty World to buy the stuffs for 'Guo Da Li' which's scheduled to be on 16 Dec 07, Sun. Tink we stayed @ the shop for 1 hr plus cos the things we nd to get were qte a lot.

--> Stuffs our side bought (Bride):
Baby bath tub, face basin, potty, bedside lamps, mugs with toothbrush & toothpaste, tea sets, chopsticks, red tray to put 2 oranges (for my bro to take when he opens the car door), small basket (to put 'lian zi', red dates, rock sugar, 'bai he' & longans), 'Yan Ji', 'Xi' stickers, 'Ang Paos', 'Ang Chai' (red cloth for hanging outside my hse).

--> Stuffs my lao gong bought (Bridegroom):
'Long Feng Zhu' (dragon & phoenix candles), 'Xi' stickers, 'Ang Chai', Big 'Ang Paos' for 'Ping Jing' etc.

As compared, the bride's side normally will have to buy more stuffs than the groom. Hearing the lady who taught us on some necessary stuffs that we gt to follow made me blur but luckily ours is qte simple le.

3rd stop to OG. My mum & bro bought the clothes they gonna wear drg the wedding dinner. Mum gt a knee-length, look-alike 'qi pao' while my bro gt himself a shirt & pants. Glad that their clothes r finally settled.

Was v shagged after all the walking & still v shagged today cos i'd spent 3 hrs just nw ironing all my clothes which i'd nt ironed for 1 mth plus (bo bian cos no more clothes to wear). Think i gonna go n slp. Will be gg for a facial after wk tml with my colleagues to pamper myself.

After exams activities

Woo... Finally the exams r over!!! Hence, i went for an 'excursion' to the night safari with my colleagues on fri. Thought there'll nt be many visitors but we were wrong! The whole safari was packed with tourists. The visit was qte enjoyable since the last time i went was drg my poly yr 3 when i went with the tourism cohort. I cld still remember the terrified scene where me & Aiwei were scared to 'death' by the bats. Thinking back, it was v funny of us to be so frightened of the bats until we both fell to the ground. hehe.

Anyway, we were supposed to go for a porridge buffet @ Quality hotel after the visit but too bad the cafe was full hse and since we went there qte late, we settled for the laksa outside the cafe. $3 for 1 bowl of laksa & 1 cup of orange. Value-for-money & delicious (as recommended by the taxi-driver who drove us there).

Nw waiting for my lao gong to finish his hair cut b4 we bring my dad to try the coat @ Tanjong Pagar, buy the items for 'GDL' @ Bukit Timah & bring my mum to shop for her clothes @ OG. And ya we r supposed to collect the race packs @ Suntec by today for the St Chartered Run nxt Sun.... Excited sia!!!

Last lap for the exams & starting lap for preps

It's been a wk plus since i last updated my blog. Had been stuffing my mind with all the theories for my exam. Will be having my last paper this coming Wed and then i can'officially' start on my wedding prep ('Xin Ku' my lao gong for having to do most of the wedding & hse stuffs till nw).

Had a finalization with my hotel coordinator last Saturday where we chose the color themes (Love in mist theme), floral displays (lilac & off white roses), wedding favors and even to the color of the plates for the VIPs etc. Had a fruitful discussion with Fiona as she'd gave us a lot of suggestions.

Nw is the period for inviting my guests and confirming their attendance. As we started to list out in the excel file, sms-ing to cfm, we realize that we've to cut down on the no. of pple to invite (**regret that we din 'hiong' & bk the grand ballrm that time as nw the ballrm had been bked by another couple**). Anyway, i'd been getting favorable response from the guests i'd invited. Thks to those whom i'd contacted.

Hmm... Stuffs to be completed:
--> Catering for AD, cakes for 'Guo Da Li', buying of necessary stuffs for 'Guo Da Li', gg shopping with my mum for her clothes, fitting of jackets for Dad, choosing of songs, finalizing on the schedule for AD, blah blah blah....
