Family ties are sooo important..

Finally decided on our invitation card design and content! Here's a sample of the card. Luckily we only have 10 tables and since the bulk of our guests are close friends, most of them have reverted on their availability =)

2 invaluable lessons learnt from the invitation cards though..

1) expensive hotel get their cards from expensive suppliers;

The shop that supplied cards to Fullerton is located at Palai Renaissance.. obviously expensive! And since the hotel only provide 60% of the cards plus we have to pay for the so called "high-class" printing, the invites cost us quite a bit. Arrgghh..

2) always consult parents on invites since it's a face thing to them

Initially I had wanted to keep the invites simple since it's solely for friends. Thought we could do without the chinese invites and parents' names =P Ended up my parents were upset becos no acknowledgement were given to them.. After giving me the cold shoulder for a few days, we decided to give in to them. Obviously they became very happie liao and well it didn't take too much effort for us to compromise.. So luckily we made the change. =) Was so touched today when my usually stony Daddy actually said he can't bear to marry me off.. so sweet!

Photoshoot pics are finally out..

We always want the best for ourselves...

Always thought it's rather boring to shop for beds becos after a while, we're just plain confused. But since we settled all the house stuffs so no more excuses... Last weekend was therefore dedicated for bed shopping especially since Robinsons was having 20% storewide discount.

Finally decided on our matrimonial bed.. it's the infamous Westin Heavenly bed from Simmons =) It was way beyond our budget but since all our married friends recommended getting a good bed, we thought we had better to heed their advice and invest. Another way to look at it.. divided it by 10 years and it cost us less than $1 per pax for each night of beauty sleep.. guess it should be worth it ya =) Anyway it's really comfortable plus the bed linen we bought were beautiful, so can't wait for it to be delivered...

Come to think of it.. everything we got, from the proposal ring to the house, banquet and honeymoon was the best that we could get.. partly because wedding is once in a lifetime.. partly because I have expensive taste.. but mainly because Gerald was accomodating and he wanted to give us a good quality of life as much as he could.. so sweet ya =)

Jes under virus attack..

Had a heated argument with Gerald on Sat =( Women are always like that.. we always say / do something expecting the guy to say something on the contary to comfort us.. Just like in the movie "The Breakup", the argument however tend to escalate beyond imagination. Eventually we did talk things thru & patch up but ended up missing our appointment with the invitation card supplier. The only good thing was, I was reminded of the sweet things Gerald has done for me, many of which I've long taken for granted.. no wonder they say couples quarrel to understand each other better..

Maybe it's my bad karma, I felt really sick from Sat nite onwards.. felt like puking & had diarrhoea =( Consulted the doc twice was told I'm under VIRUS attack... was given a jab and tons of pills. Too bad there's something at work which I would like to follow thru afer working sooo hard.. so wasted the 3 days mc the doc has prescribed.

Hopefully I'll get well soon and be back to my usual active & greedy self =P

I'm truly blessed..

As the wedding date draws nearer, everyone around me seems to be soo much nicer...

My parents showed more concern for me and I'm kinda starting to miss staying with them! Will certainly miss Daddy's nagging and Mummy's nightly supper and herbal drinks. Miss my protective sister.. my beautiful dog Lynn Lynn and Ham Ham... even the domestic helper since I'll have to do the housework in future... haha

Gerald is a lot more concerned about the wedding preparations too.. He wanted to quickly arrange for a meetup with our Fullerton coordinator to finalise the invitation cards design, etc as well as quickly finalise the remaining house stuffs so that we can close that part and focus on the wedding programme preparations... He's also making more effort than before to reassure me and to understand my thoughts and concerns.

Heard of many horror stories about unreasonable & demanding MIL but Gerald's mum is not like that at all. She's so nice to us! In fact, she's buying a rolex watch for me as wedding present. =) I like their latest Rose Gold collection n thought it's beautiful n classy but it's so expensive so I felt really paiseh.


I shall make an effort to remember all these sweet things they've done for me.. and to repay their kindness when the chance arises =)
