Yesterday marks the special once in a lifetime (well, at least for my lifetime) day. Besides being the 9th day of the 9th month in the 9th year of 2000, its also my bro-in-law's wedding day with Grace.It was indeed a very hectic and tiring day. None the less it was a joyous day for everyone in the family. After much planning and anticipation, the day has finally arrived especially for the happy

Before we knew it, we have already reached our 1st anniversary today. Nothing fancy as both me and hubby just wanted to have some "us" time at home. I guess for the past year, things were pretty hectic for both of us. Arranging for the marriage, looking for a house, getting the right reno, adjusting to the whole concept of being together as man and wife with tons and tons of responsibility and

Left the house late and reached the office close to 9am this morning. Not something I am proud of but it doesn't help when your house doesn't seem to have a clock hanging somewhere prominent. Daily lives in our new homes seems to be pretty alright so far. We have not really been enjoying the outcome of the whole "homey" feel as much as we could ever since we moved in. Hubby suffered a flat butt

Finally, finally and finally. I guess I was alittle late to blog about it now since me and hubby have already moved in to our new house. Earlier this month on the 18th of July, as early as 7am, both me and hubby made the simple "auspicious" move in thingie. Nothing grand, no roast pork or burning of fire crackers.. just the 2 of us with a few bags of belongings. We enter the house as proud

While waiting for my lunch, perhaps I though I can just do a quick update on the house.Since my last post, I thought my nightmare would have been over since things are more on track now and there has been progressively work done almost everyday. Little did I know that I have really underestimated my dear contractor on what he is really capable of.. GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK!! Despite constant

The reno was going pretty smoothly now after some rocky schedule and my endless nagging here. Almost every weekend now we were running errands for the house. It's either to go hunting for a house lock, looking at lightings for the entire house, furnitures or asessories.Here's a brief look at what we did for the past 3 weeks.5 - 7th June - Back in KL. Went to Puchong to get our waterheater and

With a blink of an eye, it's already end of May. 2 months have passed without much major happenings on the list. Yet, it's enough to kept me and hubby busy with endless googling and window shopping with nothing but one thing in mind.. BARGAINS!On my previous post, we were still very undecisive on which contractor/ID company to engage for our house reno. Well, I still believe we have not taken

To give ourselves a head start to the renovation ideas, we have started compiling our 2 years effort of loyal "Home & Decor" magazine and into our bible. Hubby was alittle reluctant to start as he reckons it will be tedious and tremendous work! We went on ahead anyway :pAs we are pretty sure of what we want in our designs, it wasn't really until lately that we manage to firm up on the actual

The festivity mood has never dampen since CNY. Now that the big V day is over, we will be all out for a slow month ahead till the next public holiday comes.. Good Friday on April 10th.None the less, both me and hubby still have things to look out for in the next few coming months..

An email came into my inbox today with the subject line as per my blog title. Of a glance I did not open it as I quickly assume its some cute emails from my cousin. Not wanting to wait for it to load up, I just left it there.After lunch, I open my inbox again and the subject line just seems to cry out for me to open.. it's the only email I have not read. I am glad I did. It's actually an email

I realise how relatively mundane my life is everyday, Mon - Sun, 24 hours a day.As I set this very moment, I wish to change my own thinking and ways to make everyday a brand new day. Not that its something new or a big resolution, but at least I should make up to what has passed me by.Am I able to sustain what I have promised to myself? I hope so...

With just merely 2 weeks away, everyone is rushing for the CNY preparation.Last weekend me and MT met up with Danny, Ling Ling and little Elsa together with Aunty Steph for Dim Sum at where else but Ah Yat. Manage to make a stop at Chinatown to grab a few goodies just before meeting them. The street is painted in red lanterns and festive deco.. a very warm and homely feel knowing CNY is just

Happy New Year everyone..2009 has started off with a BANG!Am so happy that all the wedding prep is over and done now. Dad gave us all a short lecture on our family history and urge me and MT to start a family soon. Since my dad only had 2 children, so the possibility of our generation should either be 1 or none.. :p ( it even rhymes~) None the less, when the time comes, so does the baby... no

Before you knew it, it's already December and X'mas day has passed us by. A few more days later and we will be stepping into 2009 and filing 2008 into the cabinets. How much have you accomplished in the year 2008? Are you ready to start 2009 with a big bang?2008 pretty much says what the blog meant. A new start, a new journey.

My apologies for this long delay.Since Sept till now, both Mike & I have been busy with meeting deadlines at work, right after our short trip to Vietnam and Bangkok.

The wedding is finally over..The big day dated 7th Sept was when endless flow of fine wines poured, gourmet dishes dine, candles flicker and joys of laughter's heard. Our wedding at Raffles Hotel was magnificent and unforgettable. No words can describe how we felt that day as our year long plan unfolds in front of our very eyes.I have to say, nothing really prepares me for what we should be

The wedding invitation cards are all done, and its only about time that we have started sending them out to the invitees. The effect from the invitation cards turns out just the way we wanted it to be.. simple, classic, nice.The invitation cards was easy, it took us only 2 days to get it done. It's the invitee list that sort of hold us back awhile.. I know its abit difficult to get ppl to confirm

We collected our wedding cards from the hotel about a couple of weeks ago for printing and finally on last Saturday we went to check out the printing company that the hotel has recommended to us. (there are 2 of them in fact) We decided to go with the one called T.Dragons at Excelsior Shopping Mall.We were into a surprise when we found the shop just at the tiny corner of the mall, conveniently

Plentiful I must say.We cramp almost everything in one day, and I must say that the schedule is as neatly done as our decisions.

I just got a call from our wedding planner yesterday evening. Totally unexpecting a call from a stranger at this hour and I have to say I was rather shock to hear the familiar voice and yet couldn't really figure out who he was until he disclose it.   Another shock came right after, when I was told that he will no longer be looking after our wedding plan. It is once again, referred to another

That is what happen to us, yet again.Yeap, we purchased our ring that very day. Though still a long way to go before our actual event, but who can resist a perfect pair of rings that is also perfectly nice to our wallets?? :P Irresistable!!Taking

After a long while of silence, we are back to blogging. It seemed like for a short period of time, nothing much needed to be done prior to the wedding.. The hotel has already been booked and the bridal package signed. Just about a week ago, we gotten the official hotel contract and had gone through a couple rounds of amendments (as usual.. ) before we finally signed on the dotted line (well Mike

A few days ago, I consulted a few friends about where I can go for the best deals in a bridal package... (yes yes, we finally decided that it's much better to have everything lump up in the bridal package rather than doing everything individually) and everyone agreed that the best place to go would be "Tanjong Pagar Road" a.k.a the "Bridal Street".Yesterday evening after work, we headed down to

Naturally the next step after deciding the date of the ROM would be to find and select a location to hold the ceremony.Prior to the decision of the date, Peggy and I had already gone through a few rounds of discussion on how the ceremony should be and would be held. After emailing and getting the packages from the different hotels, we have narrowed down to the following four hotels...Try to
