All ready for the BIG day...

Tomorrow's the big day and I'm real excited! To ensure I look mei mei on the big day...I had a relaxing massage session with all the jiemeis yesterday, went for manicure / pedicure, eyebrow shaping and brazilian waxing this afternoon. So now I'm all ready.. except for a final SKII mask before I turn in.. hee!

I've know Gerald for 8.5years and we've been together for 7.5 years! Certainly a long time and we understand each other well, our likes and dislikes. Love and marriage means a strong commitment to try to make it work down the road - come what may, and I'm ready to make the effort hand-in-hand with Gerald. =)

Christmas, gone in a flash..

This X'mas is really hectic. Even though I was on leave since last Friday and rarely slept more than 6 hours a day, time was never enough and the list of to-do tasks kept growing. Yet, this Christmas holds special meaning for me. Burnt a hole in the wallet buying presents for everyone in the family and people close to me and I was happy to do so to show appreciation for their love. =)

Initially we planned for BBQ on X'mas eve (I simply loved BBQ food!). Bought all the BBQ food and did the marination. Unfortunately, it rained non-stop the whole day so we had to cook the food in the oven instead. Gerald was very nice. He made me entertain my friends in the living room while he did all the cooking alone in the kitchen. I had wanted to help him cos it didn't seem like an easy feat but he promptly sent me out the kitchen. He cooked and washed everything and did all these with a smiley face, insisting that it wasn't too tough. Something I'm sure I don't be able to do..

Though the weather was a disappointment, everyone had a good time chatting and I'm glad they loved our cosy place.








We entertained another group of friends on X'mas day. 20++ people came and they stayed till 3+ in the morning so we were dead tired. Yet it was nice to see so many friends and have fun together.

Some of them were particularly nice! Got us meaningful wedding gifts, enthusiastically helped us with the wedding programme & emcee script and some flew back from overseas to attend our wedding. I'm sure 1st Jan will be very nice cos so many friends would be around to share our joy and excitements. =)

2 more weeks to go...

2 more weeks to the wedding... Glad that I diligently did the preparations early so now I can finally relax and let Gerald & his buddies take over. A bit of mixed feelings at this point. On one hand, I'm very excited! But on the other hand, I'm gonna miss being busy planning all the wedding stuffs. Funny thing is, I was never a fanatic for weddings and the first time I flipped a wedding magazine was when I started planning my own wedding. Yet, last few months of wedding prep was a beautiful experience for me.

Always loved doing handicraft stuffs so I did my own ang bao box and ring pillow. Not exactly professional looking but they looked quite nice =)

Went to Fullerton twice over the weekend. On friday, Gerald's buddies did mic test and run thru the programme with us. On Sat, we finalised the flowers & table deco, favours, etc with the coordinator. Saw the Straits Room done up on both occasions and it looked beautiful.. small but cosy.

I was particularly touched when Gerald said that for the past week, he has been visualising how the actual day will turn out. Hmm.. I haven't thought of that and I'm surprise he's so enthusiastic. We'll be super busy next 2 weeks due to X'mas gatherings.. before we knew it, 1st Jan will be here in a flash...

Tis the season to be jolly...

Simply loved the X'mas period! Mall are beautifully decorated, everyone is more relaxed and most importantly, the long holidays is just round the corner...

Had our first house-warming last Friday. Initially we were planning for steamboat and teppanyaki but as the refrigerator could not be delivered in time, we ordered food from Sakae sushi and Golden Pillow instead. Of course, we had choco fondue for dessert. Yummy!

It's really nice to invite friends over for dinner and chill out. They were so sweet.. helping to prepare fruits for the fondue and did the washing up for us. Looking forward to more home parties in future =)
