Always cherish what you have...

I'm glad Gerald is putting effort to prep for our wedding.. he's the one arranging for videographer demo, asking friends to help out as emcees, liasing with the ID, doing market comparison of electronic appliances for our house... all despite his busy schedule. Today we managed to secure a Justice of Peace (JP) to soleminise our wedding on 1st Jan 07. I search through Singaporebrides.com forum for recommended JPs while Gerald did the hard work of calling. Fortunately we managed to "book" a highly recommended JP without much difficulty. =)

Hmm.. i tend to remember the bad things in life better.. taking the good things that happen for granted.. lamenting on why certain unpleasant event occur.. I hope that I can quit this bad habit soon! I shall make a point to remember the special things that Gerald has done for me.. his love & patience throughout our 7 years relationship, his efforts to give me a special wedding proposal, his tolerance to my "pamperness" and many more..

I shall cherish the people around me better.. my parents, sisters, friends, colleagues.. even Lynn Lynn & Ham Ham! Because I'm soooo blessed to have all of them in my life =)

Busy weekends but all worth the trouble =)

Renovating our apartment..

We finally collected the keys to our apartment on 3rd July 06.
It was real exciting! That weekend, the ID and contractor came onsite to take measurements. Thereafter we went tiles & lightings shopping with the ID. Last Sat, we shopped for sanitary fittings & lightings with the ID again and on Sun, we spent 4 hrs discussing details of the design with the ID & contractor.

It sure was tiring but we're happy seeing our dream home taking shape. The ID (YC) was great! He's taste is similar to mine so I loved his design. The contractor (Mr & Mrs Liang) were hilarious so it was nice working with them too. But everything is soooo expensive! It didn't helped that I have expensive taste (quartz tiles & square taps cost a lot more).. sigh!


Most likely we can start the reno works in early Aug and do up everything by mid Sept in time for the photoshoot. It's our first home so we were hoping to capture it in our bridal album for future reference. Sooo exciting..

Bridal Gown..

On Sun, I finally decided on my choice of WG & EG. They were beautiful, especially the WG ;o)

Before today, I gave myself so much stress wanting to look PERFECT on the big day. Went to the bridal shop for 5 rounds of fitting and basically tried all of their gowns... luckily I got Chingway & Jarene to help in the selection process. I also went through numerous bridal mags and deliberated for a long time on the design. Even quarrelled with my Gerald several times over the selection.. but luckily now he's been more supportive.

It's all about managing expectations I guess... and I felt a lot happier now. ;o)

Jes~ 27th Birthday...

Andana Spa.. simply heaven! Tai-tai treatment for a day..

Last Friday, I took a well-deserved break from work and indulged myself with a massage session at Andana Spa. It was simply heaven.. the best spa I've been so far! The place was ideal for friends and couples to relax and chill out. ;o) In the end, I signed up a package with them, intending to give my wedding helpers a luxurious treat by having my hens party there. Besides, their couple room looks great so was intending to celebrate our coming anniversary there.

Sat was great too.. It was the eve of my birthday so I had good time eating and shopping for my present in the afternoon. It was particularly nice because my family (everyone including my nephews and niece) celebrated my birthday for me. We had BBQ at home with lots of yummy food. Gerald even got me a chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate @ Katong. It was my first time trying it and indeed it tasted delicious!

Gerald surprised me by getting the new LG Chocolate HP for me. It looks great and the touch screen is really easy to use. It's the ideal present because I'll never bear to buy it myself. But in a way, I'm feeling kinda heartache because it's rather expensive... so it's really an extravagence considering that my motorola V3 is still working fine.








However, my actual birthday (Sunday) turned out to be disasterous. Something unexpected cropped up and I was really upset. In fact, it was one of the worst days I ever had. :o( But guess we would better appreciate the good things in life only if we go through a rough patch.
