If nothing goes wrong, i'm gonna be the happy owner of a 5-rm reale flat in Hougang soon! Viewing houses can be such a tedious process, especially with the market prices being ridiculously high recently. We've seen flats that are totally not worth the price that was quoted by the seller, and wondering what's going on in the minds of these funny people. Nonetheless, we're happy!

I love Martha Steward Living. Its a really good source of ideas that i'll need for any DIY stuffs from wedding to home furnishing. The stuffs they feature are just lovely. Though the dear gives me that 'look' whenever i surf onto that site. Like... "what kinda boring site is that?" duh... -.-

I've always wanted a more westernised wedding, something different from the traditional hotel ballroom chinese banquet-style ordinary weddings.
My ideal wedding is to have an outdoor wedding. Maybe a garden or beach wedding getting us ever so close to nature while we celebrate this special day. But i soon recon that this idea is way too impractical for the weather in singapore. Also due to the fact that i'll be having a church wedding, i thought that CHIJMES is definately one of the perfect place for it, plus the lovely outdoor premises just outside the chapel! However, its kinda out of our budget. =(
After much sourcing and consideration while looking for THE place for my outdoor-wedding, i was sort of brought back to reality and realised that the 'ordinary' hotel ballroom wedding is still the most practical and hassle-free choice. Theres simply too much extra planning and costs that'll be needed for an outdoor-wedding. Plus the fact that i'm not one who believes in spurging money on a 'once-in-a-lifetime' wedding. I rather spend my money on my new home. =)
After putting together our various considerations, e.g location of venue, our budget, our intended no. of tables, the perks included within the package, available dates etc, finally we end up with Park Hotel Orchard. It's one of the few small ballrooms that does not have any pillars blocking the guests' view of the stage. So there we have... Convenient location at the centre of orchard road, ballroom size is just right for our no of tables, good promotions and perks given, nice wedding suite... and most importantly, the available dates suit our planning! We're happy! 28th Sep will it be!

Helo, virtual world!
Was trying to recall how long it had been from the last time i made a post on my own blog... and i lost count....
Somehow or rather, i foresee that this year will be one of the most eventful year of my life. As much as possible, i'll like to keep a record of the trails along the road that leads me to chapter two of my life. Since day one that i started on the various preparations, then did i realise that gettin marred is really not an easy task (and accept this fact: its not just between 2 persons!). Nevertheless, it's definately a lovely process to go through!
