Happy New Year!! Happy Chinese New Year!!!
Haha!! Late greetings to everyone! Anyways, the first quarter of this year is alomst over, we are at the end of March already. Let’s see, it is going to be another year to our ROM and our actual day wedding. Ok, the AD is still some time away, but once we return from our photoshoot in Taiwan, it is going to be full swing all the way.
What updates do we have for everyone? Hmm…
We had previously applied for the Punggol Ripples and Sails BTO, which well, did not turn out very well. Haha! We were not selected to choose a flat. We have recently applied for a BTO in Sengkang. Seems like not a bad place, but thre is going to be another exercise in Apr for Punggol. So we will see how it goes. We are even considering the option of getting a resale flat. My Dad spoke to me about it before, so we’re looking around as well.
We are now currently looking for our banquet location. Lots of places, but limited options. We have an estimated number of about 45 tables for the dinner. Whew!! That’s alot of people. Haha! And we hope not to spend too much on the wedding. I’m more concerned about the cost of the tables that Jeremy will have to give my parents.
Jeremy proposed on Boxing Day. That was a surprise for me. He came up with an excuse to go back to our secondary school with some of our closest friends to take photos and look around the school. It turned out that all of them were in it together. We walked around school and took photos, and headed back to our Sec 1 classroom. It was where we first met and fell in love. He came up from behind, while our friends were distracting me with taking photos and joking around. I turned to my left and there Jeremy was, on one bended knee with a bouquet of flowers. It took me a few seconds to realise what was going on. It was really sweet. And now I wear the engagment ring everyday. = )
We’ve our ups and downs of late due to our work and the limited time that we have wth each other. I’ve changed jobs recently, and he has taken on more projects and stuff. But we’re working out everything as best as we can. Of course together with the help of my bestie Pris. Many things are coming together, although not yet in cast and stone.
The ROM date has been set on 23 April 2011 at St Hilda’s Secondary, with aguestlist of about 30 odd people. Close friends of ours, who will be helping us out that day, and of course our close families. We can’t invite everyone that day, as I want to keep it small and intimate, so that both sides of the family get to mingle and get to know each other better. The ROM is coming today, but there’s still alot of toher details to look into. Not forgetting the meeting of our parents. Jer and I discussed this and sort of like decided that by 3rd quarter this year, his parents will meet my parents to ti qin. Propose marriage.
Benn looking around for banquet locations, printed some stuff for reference for our parents perusal. Hopefully we can come to a decision soon. Haha! So far, I feel like I’m still not doing much. Especialliy for teh most important thing. LOSE WEIGHT!!!
Man, I’ve got to suck it up and get right down to it. Sigh… I wish I were not such a lazy ass sometimes. I wonder where I got all that determination from previously. Maybe it was because I was studying, so I had more time on hand. Work has taken it’s toll. The promotion for the agents is over, and things are slowly going back to normal. Hopefully, I can take the time out to swim and run. I should try to get up earlier in the mornings for a short run. Hmm… I’ so not a morning person. But working out in the evenings had its positive results previously, so I’m going to suck it up and get right down to it. I’ve only a year to lose weight and get into shape for the wedding shoot. Argh… Someone get me into action already!!!!
So far, that’s the update for now. The next update would be on the banquet location.
For every other brides-to-be in 2011, jia you!! It’s hard work getting everything together, and there will definately be disagreements, but things will work out, and the wedding day will be perfect.
Love,
Qiuru xx
