Hey everyone!
I know, it’s been a long while since I last updated. I think I’m doing an average of one entry per month. Things have been crazy at work lately, and it has been bad. Have not been in the mood for much things. Sad… But in any case, after having slept for almost 14 hours in wonderful raining weather, I’m feeling a hell lot better.
So!! For an update on our new home.
Seng and I have applied for the Balance of Flats scheme. We’ve decided to go for the 5 room units. So we are keeping our finger crossed that we will be invited to choose a unit and also hopefully choose a unit that we really really want. We’ve got some work ahead of us for this if we get invited. It’s exciting but yet nerve wrecking at the same time. I am so afarid that we will not get invited, and will probably have to wait for the next BTO exercise. I’m praying so hard that we get invited. Haha!! I sound so desperate! I know… But the units are so near my parents, and we feel that it would be fantastic if we managed to get a unit near them.
Keeping our hopes up and our fingers crossed!! Pray for us ya? Haha!! =P
Well then, I have been listening to alot of music lately, and watching loads of movies that I’ve missed out over the last two months. And it has given me thoughts about wedding songs and the march in song. Like a typical chinese banquet, there are a few march ins throughout the dinner right? I’ll only be doing two, coz I think three is ridiculous. Haha!! In any case, I’ve been thinking about the second march in song. I have kind of confirmed my first song.
I Live My Life For You by Firehouse.
Yes yes… Slow rock! Woo hoo!! But I think it really has alot of meaning to this song. I love the lyrics of this song. I have been to a number of weddings, and alot fo them use typical songs. There was one period that a song by Shania Twain was over used. I think many of you might know which song it is. Haha!! But I want to be different and find a song that means something to me and Seng. I mean, you only have one wedding and you should make the best of it. I’ve been told many times about that.
So right now, I’m thinking of the second song. I have a few on my list. Let’s see….
1) Love of a Lifetime – Firehouse
2) On Bended Knee – Boyz II Men
3) Drowning – Backstreet Boys
4) The Gift – Jim Brickman & Martina Mcbride
5) I Do(Cherish You) – 98 Degrees
6) Valentine – Jim Brickman & Martina Mcbride
I still have other songs. I’m still listening and see which takes my breath away when I think of us walking down the aisle. It’s still a long way to go, but it does not hurt to think about it. I mean, it kind of gets me into the whole wedding mood. Ha….
I’m also looking into the list of songs to be played at my ROM since it will be done seperate from the customary wedding date. And at our Alma Mater for that matter. I think it’s going to be so cool and special coz we meet back in secondary school. Took us like donkey years to realise that we were meant for each other. So we had decided from the very beginning that we wanted to hold our wedding back at our Alma Mater.
In any case, I have not decided on the theme for my ROM. I’m running low in ideas… Hurr… But that is for another time. Hehe..
Love,

Wow!! It’s been a long time since I last update. I’ve been busy and have not much inspirations to write here.
In any case, I’ve been watching episodes of ‘Whose Wedding Is It Anyways?’ that Pris has passed to me. Pris!! I need more episodes, I’m finished with the lot you passed to me! Haha! With that aside, I’ve picked out quite a few ideas from the show, as well as themes, flowers and cake designs. After watching the show, I’m contemplating a wedding cake. A fully edible cake, not like the ones the hotel offers. The fake ones.. Haha! They look so pretty and yummy in the show! Looks like I will eventually have to dig deep into my budget to see if I can afford it. I’m hoping to and I hope that my parents and parents-in-law will be ok wiht the idea.
Also, there’s been a HDB Sale of Balance Flats exercise going on at the moment. It’s complicated, and with Seng away on his Induction Camp, I’m left to work out the finances, thank God for Dad’s help on this, coz I was pretty much was a noob trying to understand what the hell was going on, and look at the finer details of this sale exercise put up by HDB. We managed to squeeze some time last Saturday to look at the block and area where the flats were up for sale. I’m kinda feeling not too good about going ahead with applying for an invitation, even though the flats up for sale are really, and I mean REALLY near my parents. And in Pasir Ris, which kinda what both of us want. We’ve checked out the area and spoke to some of the residents there.
Apparently, alot of these flats have been vacate for a long period of time. Some for more than a year, and I’m wondering why. Some of these flats are in pretty good locations, really big, mid levels and above, and definately affordable, but someting does not really sit right with me. Spoke to my Mum about it, and she has expressed her concerns on the flats up for sale. Spoke to Dad as well, he says the flats are affordable, and it’s working well with out budget, so it’s really up to us on whether we want to go ahead with the application. The flats are REALLY limited, so there’s a chance that we might be able to choose unit, depending on our luck and the queue number that we get.
We’re slowly working things out, and it’s been slow. Seng’s been busy at work lately and we hardly meet up, and when we do, we don’t normalyl talk about the wedding, since it is another year away. Pris and I are collating ideas for the ROM reception, and I’m hoping that we will be able to do someting within our budget, which includes the catering, flowers and decor. Whew! It’s alot and I am kinda glad that wedding as been pushed back, it gives me more time to work out the finer details and manage our budget better. But normally, 1 year, is good enough time for planning.
Well!! That’s about it for now. Keep reading to find out what I might discuss about next!
