It's April already! Updates so far...

Whew!!!

It's been so long since I updated this blog. Been so busy with work of late and also packed weekends that I did not get a chance to sit down and write in my blog.

Anyways, updates on what has been going on lately.

I went to the tailor to get my cheongsum done. I think I mentioned that in the last entry. Haha! But yeah, waiting for the first fitting which would be on the first weekend of April. Seng also got his suit done and we went for his first fitting yesterday. The shirts were ready but his vest and jacket were not yet completed. The fitting will finalize the cut and the fitting of the jacket and suit on him. He looks really good in his suit and all. Haha!

Update: I just went for my first fitting today. Love love love the cheongsum! It looks sloppy as it doesn't fit right. I apparently lost some weight since my last visit to the tailor. But I'm loving my new dress!!! Seng has also gotten his suit already. <3

We attended the marriage preparation course recently and it was interesting. We found out more about each and had a better understanding of each other. We will be having our follow up session with one of the counselors next week. That should be interesting too.

Update: We've already gone for our first 1 on 1 session with a counsellor. Talked about alot of stuff. There is still alot of understanding to do. Haha!
What else? Hmmm....


We had the meet the parents lunch. It was really nerve wrecking for me coz I felt like they might end up arguing or something. But it turned out well, even though my family had our family had some questions, concerns and doubts of our own. I'm not sure about certain things and some of the things that Seng's parents asked for are kinda off for my understanding of certain traditions. Looks I've a lot of researching to do.

Jojo from Ivy Brides called and I think we pretty much have most of the stuff settled. The hotel has been booked. Only thing outstanding are the day tours. But I guess most of the trip is pretty much settled. We are still looking at where to go and what to do. Haha! Still taking our time on that.

I guess that is pretty much it for now. Seng is also doing up the ROM day programme, and I'm supposed to add on stuff to it. Haha! There should be more updates from now on I guess coz it's just another 3 weeks to thh ROM and Taiwan trip.

Stay happy and healty everyone!

53 days to go...

Oh my goodness!!!!

It is already the end of Febuary, and Chinese New Year has ended a good 2 weeks ago! In fact, I'm writing this on the last day of February. Wow, time passes so quickly. Oh yeah! Happy Belated New Year everyone!!

Great news!!! I have already booked my makeup artist. It was the same makeup artist that came up to my place on Saturday to do a makeup trial for me. Below are some of the pictures that was taken. My family was home that day and my parents liked her work, which was good. I showed the photos to Seng , my aunt, cousins and colleagues. There was a common comment. They all said I looked different. The power of makeup! Lol!!! Her name is Betty and she is from Taiwan, and she has lived in Singapore for aout 4 years now. She was introduced to me by a common friend, who is actually my polymate from Nanyang Poly. And he is a photographer, so they have worked together on set quite a number of times together.

This is the day look.

This is the evening look.

They look the same, only the eyeshadow is different. However, keep in mind that this is a trial makeup. But I'm looking at her skills and the hair was done in a simple style. She will stye it accordingly when she sees my outfit, which by the way, it still not yet made. But it has already started. I've already visited the tailor and I have sorted out my design and fabric with my tailor. The first fitting will be on 2 or 3 April. I hope it turns out the way I think it would be.

Seng and I have also signed up for a marriage preparation course. I figured that it would be good to attend one and learn things about marriage and such. Of course it was not complusory for us to attend, but I felt that it would benefit both of us. So yeah! Our course actually starts this coming Saturday with 3 other couples. That's the first round, and then we will attend our own individual sessions. Exciting huh? But there is an evaluation that both Seng and I have to do.

What else? Oh yes!! Seng and I popped by to his tailor to get his suit started. It was fun choosing fabrics and matching colours for his suit. It was too bad that he was not able to attend my first meeting with my tailor. But yeah, he made a coat, pair of pants, a vest and 2 shirts. And his coat is a manderin collar coat. I think it's going to be really cool when he puts it on for the actual day. =P

One other thing, we went down to HDB yesterday to sign the lease of agreement and put a portion of our down payment for our new home. Loads of papers to sign, and by the end of it, we were smiling when we left the officer's desk. It only hit us a few hours later that we actually paid a pretty huge sum for our home. LOL!! We met a fellow primary schoolmate there, who was also doing the same as us. She is going to be our neighbour! How exciting is that?!?! Haha!!! But yeah, we are just excited about everything.

Our ROM location.. Hmm.. There has been news that that GE is coming up, and we are going to be holding out ROM in our secondary school, so at this moment, we are confirming with the school on whether it is going to be a poll station or not. It's nerve wrecking and we are praying so hard that it would not be, and it if is, that GE day will not fall anywhere in April. I will start killing people if that happens. -_-

I think that's about it for now. Well, that is as much as I can remember for now. Lol!! March will start tomorrow, and it's going to be a  crazy, busy, and expensive month. But it's going to be exciting as well. We are counting down..

Stay happy and healthy everyone!
